Once upon a time, there was a pub in the Surrey Hills. It was a lovely pub, in an old mill-house in a little village. (The Gomshall Mill). It had good food, good service, reasonable prices and nice parking. Then it changed hands.
The new management changed the menu to include nothing I could eat, upped the prices, and somehow managed to degrade the service. I ceased to visit.
But recently, I was checking options in that part of the world and a new, more interesting (to me, anyway) menu popped up. Hmm. The pub appeared to have changed hands again.
Was it worth another visit?
I took myself down there, pleased to discover the parking has been resurfaced since last I was there, and the service is again friendly and efficient.
The food is also back to standard, and while not the cheapest, at least it again feels worth its price-tag. Except the coffee, which is a weak point. Literally.
I’m glad I can reinstate it to my mental list of nice pubs on pleasant roads.
