Review of The County Arms
15 Apr 08, 18:45
Not Sunday best 
One of those places which you head to with absolute certainty of getting a just-what-the-doctor-ordered Sunday roast, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be able to get a table and there won’t be anything unpredictable on your plate for your poorly little hungover head to deal with, only to leave a bit disappointed and deflated. It’s a big, interior-design-for-pubs-by-numbers eating hole (you know the sort; twigs in a vase, weird bally things in a bowl) with pleasant enough staff, but the sort of atmosphere which is more Harvester conveyor belt (slop it out, get them out), than the gastro experience to which it so aspires. When your food is dumped in a heap in the centre of your plate, your meat more fatty than lean and your stomach rumbling 40 minutes after you’ve ordered what is tantamount to a carvery, you can’t help but conclude that the only thing which is gastro about The County Arms is the price (£18 for a two course set Sunday lunch and £13 for a roast should raise the eyebrows on even the most beer-ruined face).
