Trevor Arms, Glynde

Could so easily be the perfect pub. Excellent Harveys and the ideal Sunday lunch destination after a walk across Caburn from Lewes - then the train back.

Trouble is the food. I see some reviewers have said it's 'unpretentious' or 'not poncey'. The menu's fine but, dear God, is there really any place in the 21st century for a roast dinner with overboiled carrots, watery gravy and the world's thinnest slices of dry overcooked meat? Why does it have to be that bad? The minimum expectation for food you pay for is surely something which isn't worse than what you could cook yourself.
