The White Horse, Hascombe

This pub benefits from the fact that it is mentioned in a number of cycling / walking guides as a starting point. Maybe this is why they think they can charge nearly a tenner for the worst sausage and mash dinner I've ever had tried to force into my mouth. Even old Scrouge himself wouldn't serve up such a miserly portion of mash with just 3 pathetic looking sausages.

This was one of the cheaper meals. A pub with this kind of exposure should be nearly full but when I went it was half empty. Not surprising really given the miserable faces on some of the people working in there. At least the younger bar staff tried to smile, but how can you be positive when you know your boss is asking you to serve up misery and starvation in the form of pathetically small meals in a cold miserable pub.
