B…read morehad consulted her well-worn copy of the Sawday pub guide and this came up as the best sounding choice for a bit of lunch on our route home. West Hoathly is a charming little village and well worth a wander round. Situated in lovely walking country The Cat is obviously a big draw for walkers, tourists and locals. When we arrived on the bank holiday Monday at around 12.30 the place was already heaving and the dining room at the back was already pretty near full. The punters in the dining room looked a bit stuffy and the room lacked much atmosphere but we managed to find a nice table in the much more appealing front bar area. This area quickly filled up as we had a pint while we looked at the menu. The beer on the hand pump was nothing out of the ordinary but my Hophead was well kept and crystal clear. The menu is small, a good thing, and offers something for most tastes. It's a bit on the pricey side but I guess that just reflects the location and the punters this pub is trying, very successfully, to attract. After a bit of debate I went for the steak, mushroom and ale pie which came topped with a separate piece of puff pastry, some greens and a few chips. It was pretty tasty; the beef had been slow cooked and was just the right side of falling apart. B had the flower marie (cheese) and wild garlic tart which came with new potatoes and some salad. Again this was pretty decent and we both agreed this was a fine way to end our mini break. The no children inside policy was, from our perspective, very welcome; making this a very relaxing and peaceful lunch. Lunch over we took our drinks outside to a comfy bench in the sun, facing the very striking village church, to catch a few rays before the drive back to London. Happy days .

The food looked good here, although we just stopped for a beer. They serve Harvey's which is always a good start.

The bar is great too if you just want a few pints of Harveys and a sit in the garden.

I opted for the King of soho gin which was full of grapefruit notes. The bottle was also amazing. They have g&Tea's as well which I didn't have this time but I've had it over the summer. They infuse the tea ( earl grey or jasmine) and use that as the mixer. I've never eaten there but they have a Thai kitchen and the menu looks tasty so I'd like to try at some point. This is a must for any gin fanatic!

But, if you are lucky enough to find this charming country pub, you are in store for the perfect English pub experience. This centuries old homestead still oozes that ancient feel.

My favorites were the pea and ham soup (If you add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to put it over the top) and the local sausage and mash is on another level. The gravy is to die for!

With friends and family, it offers the that lovely warm, cosy feeling on Winter days/nights. The Christmas Day menu/price works out at £60.00, could be seen as pricey but I've seen some at £85.00. Lunch and Dinner prices are around £11 £16 for Mains. Plenty of parking. If you coming from the West via A24, there is a lovely drive from The Old Barn nursery which brings you out nearly opposite The Fountain. Bit of winding lane though, so Vorsicht!!
