  • Today, I've taken a trip down to Surrey and in particular, the Percy Arms which is a four star hotel but also a Pub & Grillhouse located in Chilworth near Guildford. I've been interested in going here for a while so it's finally time to find out how good it is. Lets give it a go!

    One of the good things about this channel is it encourages people to get out and try some of the different food options. And it shows that, despite what some people claim, Britain does have good food.

    I live near the Percy. It's very very popular and you're in safe hands with their food. The steaks are way too expensive for me but they used to do a steak night on a Tuesday's where it was much cheaper. The pub has a huge restaurant and garden and its prices overall are fair for the area and quality.

    Chips are relatively inexpensive to make so there is no reason to skip on portion. The steak looked excellent and certainly did not need any added sauces. The eggs looked strange and, from your comments, did not taste right. 7/10 seems a reasonable score due to the price. If it had been a little cheaper or the portions bigger it would have been a solid 8.5/10.

    Man, I'd have been tempted to cry if I got that steak and it came pre-sauced. I do sometimes have sauces with my steaks, but I am 100% committed to adding the ones I want when I want. And a sweet, bbq-esque sauce on a ribeye? For 37 pounds? I'd cetainly have wept out loud..
    However, glad you enjoyed it. The meat looked perfect and perfectly cooked, but why does a place like that give an own-goal by being cheap with something like portioning potato? They don't have to! They could toss another handful of chips on the plate for pennies. The little serving buckets aren't that adorable ... It does look like a way to up their dessert sales, frankly.
    That egg. Wrapped in rare mince. I couldn't. Mince is just too dicey. Now, mind, there's a good chance that in a kitchen like that, they grind their own. But if that's mince that's come in from a supplier and subjected to the treatment it has been to achieve a scotch egg ... I fear for you, amigo. Microbes. They're real.
    I think your review is very fair and your courage is high. Best of luck to you in the next 24 hours!

    • @heidifogelberg3544
      @heidifogelberg3544 Місяць тому +1

      @andywatts8654 Well, ok, that is a decent pun.
      But what I meant is that A) there's a lot of chance for it to go off quickly, especially under moderate temperatures; and B) if it's produced under mass-market circumstances, it's often bits and chunks of literally dozens of different cuts from no one knows how many original sources at what differing times, run through a grinder and packaged in one mass. I'm not saying that's what this kitchen does - they could well be chopping up their own mince by hand from single source prime cuts. But it's the kind of thing I wonder at when faced with a partially cooked ground/minced meat preparation. So, while I happily eat steaks at rare or medium rare temps, I never order ground or minced beef less than medium well. And that only in solidly trusted high quality places, which, to be fair, this seems like it should be.
      So that's what I meant.

      Undoubtedly the steak was the highlight, however
      I think the rest of it , including the strange beef scotch egg, was way over priced. The presentation of that starter versus cost was very poor. Looked like a child had plated it up and i would have expected the egg to be more runny.
      I think you were very generous with your score and for me , the steak with glaze already on it, was not a great idea.

    Hi Gary, you're not the only person with that comment about the glaze and the peppercorn sauce, my wife and her sister had the same opinion. I went for the Smokey Jo burger and it was fab.But the portion sizes, especially the chips, leaves a lot to desire.We were just passing through so we didn't order a starter or a dessert, but at least I was left a bit wanting. But the place and the surroundings are beautiful, but if you want to make a fusion restaurant, make sure everything is going together before you serve it. From my wife's perspective the waiter, who attended us, should have informed about the glaze and that maybe the peppercorn sauce wasn't the best choice. But nothing to complain about when it came to the quality of the ingredients, they were top notch. But not a place we will run back to any time soon, to be brutally honest. Hope you had a wonderful Easter time and enjoy the rest of your day, mate! Speak to you soon!😊

    Beef sausages are more common in Scotland than they are in England , the egg looked OK if a little pricey
    After paying £32 for a steak I don't think it's expecting too much for them to chuck the sauce in with it .
    It did look good you should have picked up that plate and licked the sauce off it.😅!!!
    They were very tight with the chips which cost very little to make.

      I love beef sausage, but because people aren't used to them and they may not have a great turnover you have to be careful. The sausage should look bright not dark. Try Lorne sausage from supermarkets if you're not sure, readily available.

    so rare to find someone making review content thats actually a genuine review. a wonderfull fair person which such a nice personality, paying for his meal and trying to critique it fairly with respect to both restaurant and viewer. most social media food reviewers are just promoting restaurants and want free meals at best, or money from the restaurant to have a glowing "review". god bless you for being a proper reviewer. With this one. I have to say how can any experienced chef glaze the steak with sweet sauce and then serve peppercorn sauce with it and more glaze. That shows a complete lack of any basic understanding of flavour, its a terrible mistake, I would have sent it back and asked for the steak undressed so I could at least choose. but those 2 sauces do not complement each other even if the steak was undressed. As for the beef scotch egg. they are trying to be clever. the beef looked raw. serve it on a smaller plate as well. basic things being done wrong. saying that it looked like the restaurent has some decent intentions, such a lack of basic understanding. thank you for the great content

    Another brilliant review, Gary. Tbh, we are all different, but I'm not keen on steak sauces anyway. I just like the taste of steak on its own. Also, I detest chips in a bucket. Although the steak looked great, for the price, it needed twice as many chips, a tomato, peas, and a portion of onion rings. Pubs should not be charging that price. Bearing in mind, you were dining al fresco. Well done. Keep them coming.
