Staying in a village near Brands with three good beer pubs but getting food in any of them is a complete nightmare. All claim to be restaurant type pubs!!!
The one I'm staying in is full of kids running riot and a load of angry dinners who've been sitting there up to two hours waiting for their starters.
The next pub I tried only had very, very basic bar food and I've seen more rolls in the Bird food fridge on a Monday after a footie weekend than in all of the pubs put together.
To top off my "Cobham culinary experience" the pub I'm in now has an ok menu but I've ordered three things and the barmaid has taken the order then returned 10 minutes later and said they couldn't do what I ordered.
The last order was for breaded plaice so she came back with a specials menu and said they could do really great cod and chips instead.
I noticed that they had seabass on this specials menu but apparently they can't do specials tonight cos they're having a "special" evening cos the chef's gone off sick and they've had some major accident today.
The consolation factor is that they all do a few decent real ales and I can always eat tomorrow at Brands for fish and chips for a tenner!!!
Wasn't that hungry anyway
