The Fox, Caterham

I went here once last summer with my dogs and ate in the garden (they don't let dogs inside). It should have been lovely. Food was okay. But had to ask for water for the dogs (it came after about an hour and my asking three times). I had to ask for a knife and fork (again about 15 minute wait) to eat my meal with. Eventually got a smile and pleasant word from the barmaid after huge effort on my part at being super friendly in the face of a lot of cursory-ness.

About to do a walk in the area so called to check lunch serving hours. Glad I did. Apparently they don't serve food in the garden in winter. So because they don't let dogs inside this means I can't eat there.

Is it me or is there something a bit petty and uncustomer friendly to refuse to serve a meal in the garden if someone is willing to eat out there?
