Herne Tavern, Forest Hill

The kiddies play area is brilliant, I wish I could say the same about the food which is below average. A wonderful sunday afternoon was spoilt when I asked for a high chair for my 2 year old, the pleasant staff brought out a filthy high chair with decaying food residue all over the chair and the table top. Rotten mushrooms were stuck to the fabric and tomato ketchup on the surface had already been infested with fungus. This was completely noticeable to the smiling staff who made no attempt to provide another one or even clean it. If I'm going to pay extortionate prices for the 'ambience' and 'garden' then I expect at least a minimal standard of hygiene which was sadly lacking.
