We stopped off at The Cat Inn on our way back to London after a long weekend camping at Wineham. B…read morehad consulted her well-worn copy of the Sawday pub guide and this came up as the best sounding choice for a bit of lunch on our route home. West Hoathly is a charming little village and well worth a wander round. Situated in lovely walking country The Cat is obviously a big draw for walkers, tourists and locals. When we arrived on the bank holiday Monday at around 12.30 the place was already heaving and the dining room at the back was already pretty near full. The punters in the dining room looked a bit stuffy and the room lacked much atmosphere but we managed to find a nice table in the much more appealing front bar area. This area quickly filled up as we had a pint while we looked at the menu. The beer on the hand pump was nothing out of the ordinary but my Hophead was well kept and crystal clear. The menu is small, a good thing, and offers something for most tastes. It's a bit on the pricey side but I guess that just reflects the location and the punters this pub is trying, very successfully, to attract. After a bit of debate I went for the steak, mushroom and ale pie which came topped with a separate piece of puff pastry, some greens and a few chips. It was pretty tasty; the beef had been slow cooked and was just the right side of falling apart. B had the flower marie (cheese) and wild garlic tart which came with new potatoes and some salad. Again this was pretty decent and we both agreed this was a fine way to end our mini break. The no children inside policy was, from our perspective, very welcome; making this a very relaxing and peaceful lunch. Lunch over we took our drinks outside to a comfy bench in the sun, facing the very striking village church, to catch a few rays before the drive back to London. Happy days .

Getting in a little late to go to London, we turned our attention to something close to the Gatwick airport. After finally sorting our Uber rides, we were off to The Farmhouse. First impressions were of a traditional British pub experience, which was a good start. Our clumsiness of grabbing a table and figuring out whether we needed to go to the bar to order or wait to be served, surely gave us away as "not locals." Our server was friendly and provided us with our menus and took our drinks order. The one shortfall was that the menu had a number of items not available and with an assist from a customer, two of us needed a rethink on their meal. In all, it was 4 Fish & Chips, One Farmhouse Burger, and a Battered Halloumi burger, plus an order of calamari, and 4 tomato and garlic soups. There were zero plates taken off the table that were not empty! I had the Halloumi burger, which had a great, crispy batter topped with some guacamole mayo with a red sauce on the side. Really good. Then we doubled down and hit the dessert menu! Two warm chocolate brownies with salted caramel ice cream and four plum tarts. We asked for some custard on the side because who doesn't like custard?! Save for the debate about whether it was more a pie than a tart, another set of empty plates were the only evidence left. Would definitely recommend The Farmhouse!

There's a huge maple tree in the 'adult only' sun terrace (its nice not having screaming kids interrupting your lunch) and from the front garden you get a lovely view of the South Downs. The food here is out of this world, I tried the pork loin the last time I was there and it was excellent (again, the views only added to the enjoyment). This establishment is in the AA pub guide so can get busy at weekends so if you're in a large group, it may be worth booking in advance.

Judi's Sauvignon was declared to be excellent as I had a pint of the best ale in the world (Harveys Sussex, of course!)
