The Castle Hotel, Saltwood

Beautiful village green,pity about the pub(hotel).the bar area is shabby and in need of renovating.some of the furniture is held together with electrical tape.the thwaites beer was ok,but the wine was not as good.

The New Inn, Etchinghill

The best feature of the new inn is the beamed eating area,which is 90% of the floor area.a small area with lovely leather settees for just having a pint,or plenty of stools at the bar.i wanted a pint before eating,but the owner quickly put a oversized menu in my hand and directed me to a reserved table.the guest beer was lovely,but wine was served in a small chubby glass,not the elegant glasses already on the table.the starter of three scallops covered in a cheese ,runny sauce ,was not worth nearly £7.my partner had goats cheese on a bed of rocket,but there was no rocket.and it was purely a piece of goats cheese on a salad .the sirloin steaks were tasty,and the real chips were a treat.its a pity i had to leave my table after 10 mins waiting for the mustards ordered when the steaks were presented.a voucher for wine was given on paying the bill,which was nice.overall the new inn is a nice place to visit,in a lovely location.
