The Ball and Wicket, Heath End

Most disappointing Sunday lunch! The restaurant was empty apart from our table which should have been sufficient warning to walk out. Only one person was on duty as a waiter, doubling up to serve all drinks behind the counter for the pub so a very long wait for drinks or service. After an eternity we managed to attract her attention to order 2 lamb roasts and one other roast. Came back to advise that there was no lamb - on a Sunday Roast day!!! Switched to chicken. When it arrived it looked as though it had been purchased as a portion - a leg and small breast at a supermarket and warmed up in a micro wave. Certainly not roasted. Did not help that it was luke warm to cold - both chicken portions. Bland and tasteless. Clearly the kitchen is leaderless. Rather drive further down the road towards Farnham to any of the excellent pubs in the area who appreciate the custom.
