The Mint, Banstead

Had lunch there yesterday with a couple of friends - very pleasant. We had to wait a little while for the food, but this was probably no longer than the average restaurant and none of us was in any hurry. When it did arrive it was good quality; we each had a 3-course meal. I had melon sorbet, followed by grilled place, and then a delicious apple and gooseberry crumble for dessert, all of which was well cooked and presented. The service was responsive and polite at all times. We arrived fairly early, so there weren't many other customers to begin with, but by the end of our stay it was more or less full - not bad for a Monday lunchtime. The atmosphere and setting were both very pleasant and I would be happy to go there again.
