The Mint, Banstead

Visited The Mint last night. Should have taken the 'chef's wanted' board outside as a clear sign that the evening would't go well. Every surface in the pub is 'sticky', splashes of a previous dinner, drink or heaven only knows adorning the wall next to our poorly illuminated table for two. Dinner ordered from a very standard 'brake bros' type menu, took long enough to arrive for me to miss two birthdays and when it did it was unedible. Amazing how some parts of the same meal can be at once raw and heated to death, but they manage it at The Mint. I shall not be returning. The only saving grace is the guest ale, but we can get that elsewhere. Dont use this pub.
