The Cock Horse, Hildenborough

My husband and I were passing by and popped in for a spot of lunch. Vile service. The land lord only spoke to us, despite the place being close to empty, to rudely and abruptly tell me to drink my bottled drink from a glass. He then shoved a rather dirty glass at me.

I have no idea why we decided to stay for lunch after this incident but we did. The land lady then berated us for not booking although the place was empty. She repeatedly tutted and shook her head at us as we ordered. When the food eventually arrived it was neither good or bad. It was edible and that's probably the only way to describe it.

The pub had a generally hostile atmosphere and I would suggest people avoid it unless they happen to be a well known regular. New custom is clearly not valued and it would seem, actively discouraged.
