The Dolphin, Betchworth

Cannot understand the recent comments as I have always found all the staff polite and welcoming, including the new management team.

Very strange. Grudge perhaps ?

The Royal Oak, Rusper

As a local, the Royal Oak was one of a few pubs in the are not visited by myself. Wish I had bypassed it.

I was made to feel like a social pariah for having the temerity to ask for Lager ( obviously the devils brew in the eyes of the owners). Was given a short sharp 'no' to my questions as to whether they have draught or bottled lager, with no explanation as to why and not offered an alternative.

Even the CAMRA stronghold, The Surrey Oaks, serves Lager for goodness sake.

This is the worst kind of Beer snobbery, Lager is a Beer. just of a different brewing process. When will Pubs like this appreciate not everyone who wants to use their facilities is a real-ale drinker.
I have given this place 1 out of 10 because I didn't have to wait long to be insulted.

Ruspers very own Slaughtered Lamb, avoid.

In case you're wondering I'm a respectable, 53 year old middle-class businessman.
