This was a very welcome pit stop on our ramble today. On this lovely mild winters Saturday we were…read moredoing a round walk from Farthing Downs which took in the wonderful, and aptly named, Happy Valley and the very picturesque village of Chaldon. The Harrow Inn is situated just off the famous and well used Pilgrims Way at the far end of Chaldon so it's a popular choice with both locals and the walking fraternity. It's an old pub from the 16th century which still has plenty of character, with a real fire, a nice large wooden bar and tiles on the floor (which is probably a very good floor covering with all the muddy walking boots tramping about). There is plenty of seating, including a good set of stools at the bar, and a separate restaurant area out the back. Staff are young, welcoming and quick off the mark which is just what you want when you are walking and do not have the option of watching the afternoon drift away over a few lazy pints. The pub carries the Cask Marque which normally means that you can expect a decent pint of well-kept real ale. There were 4 cask ales on today but it was a pretty standard selection so we went for the Tribute from the St Austell Brewery in Cornwall. After a good tramp through Happy Valley and a fairly muddy section of North Downs Way this went down very well; cool and clear, bronze of colour with plenty of flavour. We soon ordered up another to go with our lunch which was not long in arriving. My haddock, chips and peas were a good choice and at £8.25 it's a reasonable price for this part of the country. The fish was the size of a whale, fresh and came encased in a crisp beer batter. Chips were ok but I would be very surprised if they had been peeled and cut in the kitchen. B's choice of sausage and mash with braised red cabbage was much less successful. The two sausages were fine; well-cooked with a nice colouring and a good meaty taste. What let this dish down was cabbage that had far too much crunch for this kind of comfort food and the ultimate crime - iffy mash. Lumpy, undercooked and badly seasoned. What a shame!! However, I would hope that this was just a one off from the kitchen and this is a pub I would still recommend if you are walking in the area or just passing through. The many locals in the bar with their very well behaved kids, watching the rugby, certainly seemed to like the place. 3 stars because it's a crime to make a hash of the English pub classic of sausage and mash but I'm sure this will be amended on a future visit.

This pub/restaurant was the respite destination following our two hour trek through Kenley Common…read morein the thick snow yesterday and I'm pleased to say it didn't dissapoint. Although the pub was packed with walkers warming their cockles, and despite the fact we were an un-booked party of 9, we were seated immediately. With these sort of places, the charm is always magnified in winter; when the fire crackles in the background, the heavy wooden beams conjure country cottage cosiness and the view of the snow falling through the windows looks like a picture postcard. That's not to say that this pub is all surface and no substance, it's just the substance is rather.... mediocre - just a nice local. The Vintage Inn chain always tend to find these large country cottages and at first many think that this is an independent. Our table tucked into the tasting platter to start, which was warming and tasty (breaded mushrooms, XXL pigs in blankets, toast, onion rings and onion marmalade surrounding a pot of melted camombert) but nothing ground breaking or not covered in wheat. Roast beef was the main of choice and although none of it was of awarding-winning-gastro-quality, you have to remember you are paying only £6.95. And when you consider that - it's a pretty darn good meal. It was served with the traditional trimmings; baby carrots, green mixed veg, roast potatoes and parsnips, Yorkshire pud and gravy. The service was good and the house wine, a rather nice Australian Shiraz, was only £9.95 - a bottle! (I'm sure I just paid that for a large glass recently in Central London....). Good value = quality + price and I think this place just about sums this up.

The venue is perfect, and the (ever changing) staff are generally very friendly, but the food... this has gotten worse and worse over the years, as I shall now explain. My wife and I decided to give the place another go (last time had us waiting an hour and a half for food) so we arrived and ordered fish pie (my wife) and the seafood mixed grill (my choice). Now being prepared for a long wait we ordered bread and settled down to wait. True to expectations, the food arrived nearly an hour later... but that was just the beginning of the disappointment. Both dishes were severely over-cooked... my fish steaks were now so small and hard, I could pick one up and easily 'snap' it with my fingers. My portion of seasoned chips were about 5 or 6 french fries and my asparagus and spring onions were just that... 1 asparagus (minus the head) and 1 spring onion. The portions would have made 'nouvelle cuisine' blush. But my wife's meal was worse... They forgot to serve my wife's side order, and her pie was also a dried brick in a dish that would need a small pick-axe to get into. Worse still, the dish had clearly been previously eaten and sent back, as there were parts missing clearly indicating someone had tried and returned the food. The meal had obviously been reheated and now served to my wife! We complained and returned the late and inedible food, and when we pointed out that someone had clearly already started to eat the pie, the waitress said: "oh... that's just the juice pushing the pie to one side". I kid you not! Apparently... when everyone else cooks a pie in an oven dish the liquid fills the dish BUT at the Harrow, the liquid defies physics and instead moves the pie to the side of the dish leaving a void that looks like missing mouthfulls. Please, please... do not waste your time nor your money at this (so called) restaurant. If you think my case is unique, just google the restaurant for reviews and you'll see that my experience is the norm.
