The Gate, Ifield

I think this pub must have changed hands recently? Very disappointed. I went for someone's birthday and it pretty much ruined the evening. I chose the crabs claws at over �6 for a starter and received three synthetic pieces of deep fried gunk which was neither vegetable nor animal. It was like glue with the end of a crab claw stuck into it. Even Kerry Katona would have turned her nose up at it. I am not a fussy eater but like to eat proper food rather than plastic. When we complained the manageress was very rude and dismissive. She even said that it was one of the most popular dishes on the menu!! I would avoid this place which is a shame because its a quaint building and apart from the manageress the other staff are friendly.
