The Horse and Groom, Merrow

We had lunch here last week. 3 beers on - in reasonable condition. Food was good quality but portions were very small. Menu was grossly misleading. The left hand "Our Choice" listed a small range of starters, mains and deserts, available Monday to Friday 12.00 to 19.00. Small print said "2 courses from �10,95, 3 courses from �13.95". The format was deliberately similar to that used in other pubs and restaurants to present a fixed price lunch menu - BUT it was NOT a fixed price menu. Every dish had a separate charge. Although we chose from this menu, we were annoyed to be given a food bill for several pounds more than we expected. Staff refused to apologise or refund the difference - pointing to the "from " word. Ironically the right hand longer list of choices on the menu is available all day and evening with normal size portions. Expensive for a pub restaurant by Guildford standards. CAVEAT EMPTOR !
