The Bletchingley Arms

Sorry there's no photos. This was not our first visit but it was our first for a (late) luncheon service. We popped in here on a way back from a function for a very late lunch. We had no problem getting a table for five, four adults and one child. There did appear to be plenty of customers there before us but the venue certainly didn't feel cramped. Great service the child's meal was brought out first to help us keep him busy. Three different starters for the adults and four different main meals with some sides ordered. Everything came out together in a timely fashion, everyone enjoyed their meal and the portions were generous. Between us we had haddock and chips, sirloin with pepper sauce, scampi and a chicken and ribs combo. The little one had a pizza with pepperoni which he very much enjoyed and we took a portion of onion rings for the table. Yes, at the risk of repetition all very well prepared and enjoyable. Drinks service ran side by side with the meal promptly served by attentive, friendly staff. Food is everything from bar snacks to a good steak, plenty of veg options and if I remember correctly lots of gluten free as well - although as that's not our thing I can't be absolutely sure. We ate inside because of rain but there are several outside seating areas each with their own character and a small but well equipped playground for children. There's plenty of parking on site but care has to be taken leaving the carpark as the road can get busy.

Excellent service and lovely tasty food. Good size main, enough to thoroughly enjoy but not feel overstuffed. Room for pudding!! Varied menu with great choice of gluten free, dairy free, vegan and veggie offerings on top of the classics.
