The William IV, Bletchingley

While I cannot fault the beer - a choice of three real ales with the two I tried, Young's 'ordinary' (why do we call it that?) and Tribute both being excellent, the 'pub grub' was probably, no actually was, the worst I have ever experienced!
Having ordered a 'siloin steak' medium rare, I was presented a thin slice of pink meat, almost completely without colour and certainly not sealed, which was sent back purely on its unappetising appearance. Its replacement, almost equally unattractive in appearance, appeared with an explanation form the cook - I cannot use the word chef - that It was the best that she could do! It was awful and after trying a few pieces I wrapped it in a napkin and brought it home for my dog!
The steak was, at best, a piece of minute steak, never an �11.00 sirloin, and was just inedible having whatever little life it ever had being completely cooked out of it!
I just cannot stress how much you should avoid the food in this travesty of a food pub - just stick with the beer and eat in the Red Lion!
