The White Hart, Denmead

I'd call Anchovies a significant variant to a Caesar Salad so having no mention of Anchovies on the menu my wife thought it reasonable to mention that for her it rendered the meal inedible. They are an acquired taste. I judge a pub or restaurant by how they deal with complaints and comments. A response of "we always put anchovies in Caesar Salad" and a "huuurrummmph" at the lower end of the Customer Service rating. We're not regulars so didn't know they 'alway' put anchovies in their Caesar Salad. The staff were slow, unattentive and rude on making a comment. Not wishing to make a fuss - we left and will not return....at least for about 10 years. Living in Portsmouth we average once in 10 years to this pub, thankfully the current incumbents will be long gone by then. Beer was poor too.
