The Merry Monk, Monkton Heathfield

odd place, carvery based business. Went on sunday walking past the A board that said food served all day, got drinks for my family went to order food and was told we have stopped serving!!!
Table next to us were complaining about the food, the man said even the peas were over cooked. We stayed to finish our drinks, and watched.
When our neibouring table ordered thier dessert the waitress assured the table the desserts were homemade, and when they arrived they clearly came out of a box.

If i was managing this pub I would also clear up the empty boxes of frozen vegetables from the back door.

The Maypole Inn, Thurloxton

Please tell me why this pub has such a low score? We went on thursday lunchtime, pub nicly busy, 2 real ales on natural gravity, more food to choose from than you could ever get board with, 2 courses for 8.50, oap deal for 2 courses 5.50 and I saw a ploughmans go by that even my granny would be proud of. They even make thier own tomato ketchup.
Majourly impressed with this pub and will go back again.
Bought half dozen free range eggs from the pubs own chickens, 3 double yolkers, not bad, not bad at all.

Well done to all those who are at the maypole
