The Jack Fairman, Horley

The food and service in this place has improved profoundly in recent times. They now have people in the kitchen who know what they're doing. The steaks especially on the Tuesday grill night are really good quality and cooked exactly how you ask them to be. Service generally is above average (with one or two exceptions up and down). Only gripes are that the dedicated glass collectors don't tend to do a very efficient job even on quiet nights, and that they still insist on correcting my (correct) pronunciation of my favourite tipple, Leffe! (They could do with the proper glasses for this beer too!) But overall, the Jack Fairman has a heck of a lot going for it now.

Kings Head, Horley

If you're 'not local', forget about this place. Stood waiting tonight for what seemed like a lifetime to get served; meanwhile, regulars were coming in and getting dealt with straight away by the two sour-faced lads behind the bar :-( Eventually lost the will to live and took my custom elsewhere. [Have to say though that I do normally get attentive service from the two girls who work here at other times.] The so-called manager of this place needs to have a word!
