The Wotton Hatch, Wotton

My husband and I have been going to this pub for years (we planned our wedding in this pub :) - Since its refurbishment this pub has been ruined. It has been turned into a pretentious gastro-nightmare - complete with glass doors with the pub name etched on them , cow hide chairs , rams skulls on the red painted walls , asking if we had booked ( on a quiet Wednesday evening) - and then going off to ask the permission of the manager if it was ok that we could come in. Serving oven chips in a bowl with aioli along with a greasy chicken covered in tomato puree does not a gastro experience make. Then there were the arty photos in the toilets of naked women with rams skulls on.... When my husband said he would be disappointed if he got this food in Harvester - he was told by the waitress to go there in future....Nice :)
