However, the portions are not the greatest as the large sizzler struggles to fill 3 people.

We went there today for lunch just the two of us , first time the wife had been able to walk for a…read morewhile so we gave it a try .... Before I get to the negative bits I have to say the food tasted good and looked good too , it's a nice looking place with plenty of room .... To be fair I expected it to be busier at 2 on a Sunday ? Anyway , before we ordered I asked the young waitress if I could 'swap' the Cheese , Leek & potato pie for the vegetarian tart as I don't like cranberries ..... she said she'd ask. Now then, bear in mind that the whole swap would just involve taking the tart off a plate and replacing it with the pie so I was really optimistic. Anyway she came back and said " The only way we can do that is if you pay for both " so I just clarified that she was asking me to pay for BOTH meals at a price of £31:00 !! She said "yes that's right £31:00 " ‍.......so I checked again with the lady who booked us in earlier and she agreed that I would have to pay for BOTH meals to enable them just to swap a pie for a tart !! You can see from the photo that they could have fitted both on a the same plate. Anyway it all went downhill from there , no horseradish sauce with the wife's beef , a teaspoon of red cabbage , a teaspoon of clotted cream , the mixed berry compote was actually cherry compote, no one came to see if our food was ok , no hand towels or hand dryer in the loo , the people on the next table were told they would have to pay extra for a small jug of gravy as it was " special Sunday gravy " When I left I did tell them what I thought , none of it was personal but the pricing strategy probably explains why there were so many empty tables ? The lady on the till knocked £18 off my bill and apologised but to be honest , we won't be going there again ...... it's not local and situations like this help you choose where or where not to go ..... I have to say again that everything tasted good and looked good but what a shame.

Get there early for a good seat and great food!

The current management has boldly expanded the menu, opened for breakfast, provided access to its kitchen garden and detailed the provenance of all of its staple ingredients. Oh, that more places were like this. Whilst there are two car parks, they barely accommodate the number of drivers who patronise the establishment. The one at the front is backed by an attractive decked eating area. My most recent visit was for a light lunch with a colleague, so we each had a pint of Marston's Burton Bitter, and we had a crab and prawn sandwich and a Parma ham, and mozzarella sandwich, sharing a bow of chips between us. This light lunch was delicious, the service was good and the bill, including a large tomato juice, was £26.60. A firm favourite and we'll be back again.

The Countess's Arms however is a gem in the rough. The Bar area is relaxed, warm & friendly. Comfy chairs, an open fire & a large selection of beverages is enough to entice you there for a quiet afternoon. The real winner though is the food! If your lucky you'll be seated in the balcony overviewing the bar or alternatively you'll be dining in the gorgeous open, tall ceiling restaurant. The food is exquisite, drinks are well kept & the atmosphere is spot on. Anyway looking to impress the other half should definately arrange a booking.

It was (it's currently boarded up) beautifully decorated and refurbished, and in a great location. The wine was excellent, and the beers and ciders well kept. The food on the menu appeared very appetising. Nothing could have been further from the truth. My starter, potted shrimp, was fair but nothing special and made with tinned shrimps. My main, a polenta and mozzarella tower, contained slices of mozzarella so thin and scant as to be effectively non-existent. The side dish of dauphinoise potatoes came in a ramikin the diameter of a thruppeny bit (which they charged £2.50 for). My wife's teriyaki tuna was bordering on inedible. Teriyaki sauce is naturally salty, yet the chef decided to add a good sized flourish of salt on top of the finished dish! The service was just that. A service, really. Nohing exceptional considering the cost of the meal. The wine was awfully good, though.

In fact, the first time I went was 13 years ago when my friend's Mum and Dad decided to take Royston and me out to dinner - we were 14 at the time. Over the years I've been going there, I don't think the menu has changed once. But it doesn't need to, it's a good menu. All of the food is freshly cooked to a high standard. The staff are friendly and service is good. But I'll let you into a secret - it isn't always fully booked, the owners just can't cope with people walking in off the street, turning up unannounced without a reservation. They like to know with plenty of time how many people they're going to be cooking for. Fair enough, I suppose - if that's the way the want to run, it's their choice. And to be honest, they do a good job, because the food is always good, so it's worth the extra effort to book. Highly recommended.

We happened to visit one of the 'theme nights' which meant that, being Monday, there was a great selection of Chinese food and you can revisit the hot buffet as often as you like for £6.49. (Most, if not all, Brewers Fayre pubs offer special themed meals every day of the week: Monday Chinese; Tuesday Pie Night; Wednesday Texmex; Thursday Curry; Friday Chip Shop; Saturday Chicken Shack; Sunday Carvery) Of course you can also choose different meals from the huge and varied menu and there are 'meal deals' too, like the two main meals for £10 offer (available Monday to Friday, 12 noon until 6.30pm). I had a delicious vegetarian curry that night (my husband went for the Chinese buffet which he said was really excellent), and I have visited Brewers Fayre restaurants in other parts of the UK over the past couple of years and enjoyed many different delicious meals. (Thank goodness we have a Brewers Fayre in our own town too!!) Redhill is well signed off the roundabout and there's a big free car park immediately outside.
