The GlassHouse, New Malden

On my way out of this pub after lunch today, I commented to the manager that we had had a great meal, and how pleasantly surprised I was to find good food, at a reasonable price in new Malden, and he asked me to post my comments on the web-site, so here goes.
I like the refurb - the Railway has been a scary dive in the past. Very pleasant atmosphere - laminate floors, clean, tidy, and real log fires were a nice touch.
Staff - very peasant - one of the girls suggested I try a blush Pinot Grigio as she liked it - it was lovely. The service was very good, and friendly, and chatty when we wanted to chat, without being intrusive. We had a query over the cheese course and the bill: both queries were handled considerately and to our satisfaction.
Food - all very good - I had Provencale Fish Soup - it was served as you'ld get it in France with croutons, gruyere, and aoili, - delicious. Then Sausage and mash, which was good. I was in a party of 6 and everyone had a good meal, well presented and tasty.
Price - we had either 3 courses or 2 courses and coffee, 3 bottles of wine, and it was �170 for the 6 of us, without service, which was fair, I thought. : just over �30 a head with service.
