The Ramblers Rest, Chipstead

Went to this pub/restaurant a few months ago and the service was appalling. This was in addition to the fact that several items on the menu were not available. One of the items was sirloin steak which, to my way of thinking, is something a restaurant should NOT run out of. In the way of compensation, they provided a fillet steak for the same price as a sirloin. Today we have been there again and lo and behold the service was again appalling. And once again 3 items out a choice of, perhaps, a dozen were not available. And, again, these were everyday items you'd expect on a menu ie. gammon steak and burgers! We waited about 50 minutes for our starters to arrive but, the main course did come within 10 minutes of having the starter plates removed. Given that there were no more than about fifteen other diners, 50 minutes is totally unacceptable. I also agree with other comments here about the cost. The menu is very overpriced for the quality and selection of food. I think I'll NOT be visiting this establishment again!!!
