Comfortable space in Surbiton

“I ordered a set breakfast here, they were happy to substitute mushrooms for beans; it arrived quickly and was well cooked and a generous size. The service was good, the only sad thing was that the place was empty apart from me. Recommend this place if you want a good, honest breakfast, the rest of the menu looks pretty extensive too.”

“Charming restaurant less than 5 mins from Surbiton Rail station and opposite Sainsbury’s. The old Post Office building has been repurposed as a restaurant, fitted out in a sustainable way with genuine Turkish designs and materials. My server had a Masters in restaurant design so was knowledgeable and happy to point out some of the features. The coffee was excellent and the Nutella and sea-salt cookie was something I’d never tasted before and had a light and delicate texture. Good access for wheelchairs and my go to coffee stop in Surbiton when on foot or a motorcycle or bicycle with parking right outside the door.”

“Sophie was on her own behind the bar, she was efficient, business focused,proactive and indescribably charming. If I could bottle her vibe I would sprinkle it everywhere and the world would immediately be a much better place.”

“Visited this pub for the second time in three weeks. We had the roast pork Sunday dinner again. Food was great. Excellent service. Great value. I wish that pubs in Worcestershire were as good as this one. Thank you again for the Sunday dinners.”

“Really nice local Indian restaurant. Friendly staff, very welcoming. Prices are a must. Always go for the Garlic Naan and the Chutney Tray. Malayan chicken and Biryani.”

“All I can say is bellisima!! I have been wanting to try The Roasting for quite sometime. It is definitely worth the wait. The coffee was great and the pistachio croissant was absolutely fabulous. It’s one of the nicest pastries I had. The prices were also decent and affordable. Service is also great. The guy helped me to choose pastries by giving me an idea of what each of them were and he also gave me a drink recommendation. I will definitely come back to try the other stuff.”

“A pub I've been meaning to write up for a while but haven't been too sure on when to dive into it. It's a local community pub, one of the very few independent ones in the area, but one I barely frequent, and I've not really got a good reason as to why. The first trip I went here, it was a cold covidy afternoon, and I was relegated to the sea of sofas in the garden. Collected together, like the aftermath of a flood having ripped through the front rooms of an entire village, a mish mash of the comfiest seats a pub garden has ever seen. To get there you'd need to hop on through the pub, greeted by locals playing board games with a nod, a lone bloke chewing the ear off the bar staff about the complexities of the Marvel universe pausing only to let you order, or a live band in the corner on Thursday & Sundays. A beer fridge is well stocked, keg beers are your accessible macro gear, but most come for the ale. Expertly kept rotating cask selection; you'll typically find Oakham, Surrey Hills or a couple of obscurer local breweries. Invariably served with a sparkler. The pub itself dates back to the late 1800s, and even used to have a small brewery on site, but it's only since Liz and Adam took it over that it's become this beacon of light amongst a sea of Young's pubs. It won multiple CAMRA awards in the mid 2010s, and continues to champion quality ale. Food wise they've chopped and changed. BBQ burger nights, slow pulled meats and veggie options, cheese nights too, and on the weekend I went they had "Emma" (forgot the IG tag), churning out Middle Eastern dishes, orders coming in early doors on a Sunday. Bar snacks knocking about, but few pubs in the area offer their location up to pop-ups, so it's nice to see the variety. It's a cosy place, you'll not find another one like it really, and to get 2 (good) pints south of a tenner in these parts is worthy of praise alone. Having done almost double digit visits now, I've never had the same experience twice in terms of locals, beers, Rona rules and food, yet the vibe remains the same. Welcoming, hospitable and inviting - a pub fully deserving of all the praise the locals have bestowed upon it.”

“One of the shops I always visit to get my Iranian products from, their products are always good quality and reasonably priced. They have halal butcher, fresh vegetables & herbs, fresh nuts and Iranian sweet cakes. Definitely a shop to visit. The staff are kind and very helpful, and the shop is clean and tidy.”

“Best barber in Tolworth high street - he is very friendly and fantastic at his job. I have tried ALL the barbers around the area when I moved here, of which there are A LOT - and the other ones are subpar, mostly manned by very inexperienced young people. I once got in another barber a 19-year-old cutting my hair!”

“Whenever I am here Feels very comfortable having coffee or food Very nice environment and the staffs are so polite and welcoming .”

“A good Wetherspoons pub which is a great local in Surbiton, they have left many good architectural attributes of the original building and should be commended. Good selection of beers, spirits, wines and soft drinks. Plenty of seating but does get busy. Food selection isa good quality selection at reasonable prices. Staff always attentive and friendly. Road parking outside BUT plenty of public transport available.”

“This is the healthiest take out I’ve ever had & I know that it is prepared with love ❣️ The freshness of the sides is mind blowing but the star of the show has to be the slow cooked meat, which is always succulent & the different rubs/marinades just add to enhance the flavour of great quality produce. Delivery is great & if you want to heat anything up it comes with instructions - I’ve done both & either way it is delicious. One of the great things to come out of lockdown & if I could give it more than 5 ⭐️ I would.”

“Amazing service and lovely people. Tova was the most helpful with buying my sofa. I wasn't moving in for 6 weeks and they kept my sofa on hold until then. I then was delayed by a week and they still kept my sofa on hold. Nothing was too much trouble. Even with delivery, my flat has very narrow doors and yet we got the sofa in. I honestly could not recommend Steel Stitch & Stone high enough!”

“What a lovely family business. We were so impressed by the amazing customer service. Highly recommended. We will come back!”

“Their waffles are great but they're quite large so a few people can share them. My sister loves their bubble tea. Don't get the cookie dough.”

“Daniel Fowler has made an absolutely fantastic job of bringing our leather sofas back to life I cannot praise this young man enough excellent service and workmanship - Thank you for their new lease of life”

“Last week my friend and I went to your Tolworth store. From the moment we entered the store we were treated with nothing but kindness and help, all the ladies put themselves out even making us a hot drink. We were not rushed at all and we spent several hours trying out the chairs, Luka was exceptionally knowledgeable. The outcome was that we both purchased a chair from you. The help I received was amazing, never before have I come across such care and professionalism.”
