The Flowerpots Inn, Cheriton

Good real Ale and an inviting pub, prices a bit high for food, but its an affluent commuter village so thats to be expected. Worst 'authentic' Indian curry I have ever had - garbage! Local 'click' very evident on the evening we visited - I can understand why its popular with vistors though as the pub has a an old world charm.

If you are in this area its probably a better bet than the Chestnut Horse - very good level of service, a little cheaper and nice food - agree that Ale is pricey though!

The Chestnut Horse, Easton

Went last night on the reviews posted - oh dear! Waited 45 mins for food and received no apology told to wait 5 mins - 15 mins later food rceived - good food spoiled because they hasd obviously rushed it. 'Obvious' locals served ahead of us too rubbed salt in. Ale was past its best but drinkable. Nothing under �12 and small portions - as posted in 2007 - more for the Chelsea tractor set I am afraid. Complained at end and offered 10% off bill - but no apology which i would have been happy with and let it go at that! Ho hum maybe they were having a bad day and our experience was not typical. Shame because pub was very quaint. Have had better service and food for less money though.
