I have had a meal many times in The Dartmouth Arms in Forest Hill, and I have never had any reason to complain, and I am very fussy. Perhaps all the staff is new, including the chef, since I have been there, about 6 months ago. I also thought the ladies toilets were quite nice , have not been in the men's , but perhaps all that has changed as well. It is a pitty that no one from The Dartmouth Arms, can defend themselves here. Did you notice on the day if anybody else had such a bad experience. Having said all that, I try differnet places for Sunday lunch, and always come back to the pub at the back of Forest Hill station called All Inn One, for quality and value for money. I always have the roast chicken, which is lovely and perfectly cooked vegetables. I have recently tried to get into Canvas & Cream in Forest Hill on a Sunday, but have found people waiting to be seated even at 12 o'clock, and it is not a small venue. So being impatient I go somewhere else. I can only assume it is because the food is as good as it is during the week, and having been there many times, I can highly recommend it. It is a real shame about the Dartmouth Arms, because I always liked it there, must try it myself sometime soon !
