The Queens Head, Downe

Three of us had Sunday lunch here on August 19th. My girlfriend and I were entertaining a friend from New Zealand,so we requested a window table by telephone. They had reserved the wrong table,but that was no problem as even at 1300,the place was nearly empty.
We asked the waitress how the lamb and beef were cooked as we prefer our meat medium-rare. She informed us that all the meat was pre-cooked! The plates of food looked less than appetizing,and looks did not deceive. Our overseas friend,somewhat of a foodie,declared the roast leg of lamb the worst she had tasted! The roast potatoes were truly terrible.
The cook told us that she had prepared the potatoes the morning before. Nothing to be proud of! Her attitude was totally dismissive of any critique. Please avoid eating here,as The Blacksmith's Arms is nearby in Cudham. No contest!
