Staff from agencies or not, just low calibre. Food and beer, mediocre at best - in a pub with the most potential in Surrey. How could Youngs give such a gem to cretins...like Peat, the village idiot (not my words, but those of a Betchworth neighbour!)

Call in around 3pm and see/hear the front bar - just estuary language, with high volumne.

Just like to say that there are no 'agency' staff at the Dolphin...sorry to disappoint those reviewers. All of the staff are local and have been trying to do a good job under difficult circumstances for a considerable time! Perhaps if Youngs didnt put incapable managers in charge of a charming local and immensly popular pub then there wouldnt be so many issues. Thankfully at the moment the air is clear, the front bar behaving and the pub is back to it's self again, mainly due to the hard working, responsible chaps working there. Lets hope that the next management people Youngs find whoever they may be will take it seriously and run the pub as it should be. but for now doing a good job Anna!

Avoid the lunchtime sandwiches. They have a nerve charging £4.50 for a couple of meagre slices of cheap supermarket bread.

Incidentally, no sign of the brawling drunken louts referred to in other reviews. It was all very peaceful. A bit disappointing after all we'd read, but one member of staff was sporting a black eye!
