The Peacock Inn, Forhill

we have had many wonderful meals here on a regular basis,BUT last week we went and wanted 1 fish and chips and 1 sos and mash.
They had run out of mash !!!!!
So we both had fish and chips which usually are so very good and fresh with batter that melts on your tongue.
The fish when it came was the same as you get frozen in boxes of 6 from iceland it was dire and when i complained about it the manager said sorry it was what the group had sent him,no reduction in cost or a free drink etc.
I asked if this was cost cutting and they said it will be back to normal when the batch has gone.
We are eating elsewhere now for a few months then will try it again

The New Inn, Betchton

wonderfully cooked food and a varied menu with 6 freshfish and i would think 20 about 20 other options and chips to die for.
The staff are really good and so honest i even got �10 back the next night when i had change for �10 instead of �20 (and i told them i wasnt sure it was a �20)in the melee.
Get in early or it will be full,my last day there was midday on a wednesday and by 1.30 it was full.
The soups are all homemade as are the sauces and pies ,i wish i had got snowed in there for days !!
