Dates in Surbiton

“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.”

“Family favourite! We've been coming here for years and the food has always been good. We highly recommend the Lamb Shank Jalfrezi and the Tandoori King Prawn. But all the food is very good. We really appreciate that since the pandemic they haven't raised their prices and the food is still great quality. The service is always very good and thoughtful too. We will always rave about The Agra!”

“Brilliant pub, great food and friendly staff!”

“The joy of the railway station pub is an almost universally appreciated joy. And while The Surbiton Flyer isn’t technically a station pub, categorised in my mind by having a departures screen somewhere inside so you can see how many more pints you can squeeze in before running for your train, it’s proximity to Surbiton station certainly brings it close. An old Barclays bank, bought and converted by Fullers 1995, it’s a cosy boozer with a clean interior. Since it’s refurb some 4 odd years ago(?), it’s brought with it that All-Bar-One aesthetic, weirdly keeping in theme with grand Bank entrances, hotel lobbies and railway station concourses. It’s just a bit posh basically, but a sort of faux-poshness, filled with people waiting. Drinks-wise, it’s Fullers and your usual Fullers pub beers. Nice to see (another, since Fullers are only down the road) local brewery here with Big Smoke Electric Eye, although on this occasion, it was a little soapy. In my previous visits here, the London Pride has always been excellent - I should’ve known better. I haven’t had the food here but it does get good reviews. While I love to get proper unsurprising pub grub, it’s hard around this particular one. Next door you have Surbiton Kebabs & Fried Chicken - who I love, not only for the chicken/wraps, but when a car reversed into their shop a few years back, they chose to rebuild it exactly as it looked before and always has. The station itself has more history than the pub. It is “considered one of the finest modernist stations in Great Britain”, is Grade II listed, built in 1937, and designed by Scottish architect James Robb Scott (also designed Waterloo and Richmond among others). It would be nice if they cleaned it once in a while, although it is set for a huge refurb so maybe they can find time to push a broom around. The station was used in Harry Potter if you’re into that too. Overall, if you’re in the area and you find yourself with some time before getting on a train, make sure you’re by the kebab shop entrance, grab a pint, and some wings for the journey. A compact Fullers pub perfect to relax in while whittling down the minutes.”

“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.”

“I had my 40th here and it was excellent! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The spaces are a good size, I was allowed to decorate the area and the food was brought out on time and was delicious. I would certainly recommend The Elm if you are looking to mark an occasion, or even for a meal as it was so good. Thanks all!”

“I went to this place before my shift finished to order some food and told the boy serving i would be back in 10-15min.It was quiet and The boy was serving on his own at the front (young boy, named Janes, sorry for misspelling). He was giving fast and friendly service and apparently also doing deliveroo orders! He had my food ready by the time i came back and he kept it warm on the side for me. Portioning was great! Nice detail to write “Enjoy” on the lid :)”

““I had the absolute pleasure of trying the Persian pizza at Village Pizza in Surbiton, and it was truly outstanding. This pizza took me straight back home with its nostalgic flavors and that special touch that only authentic Persian-style pizza can bring. The service was equally fantastic—especially the lady behind the counter, who I believe is the owner. She made the whole experience warm and welcoming. I can’t recommend Village Pizza enough if you’re looking for a delicious slice of something special. Five stars all the way!””

“We had a fantastic experience with Humphrey & Brand throughout our home purchase process. Georgia, in particular, was outstanding, always responsive, positive, and full of energy. She took on the stress of the whole process, coordinated all parties brilliantly, and made sure nothing was left unresolved. Thanks to her support, we were able to complete everything smoothly and with peace of mind. Highly recommended!”

“Just stopped on a Friday lunchtime to have some pizzas, they were delicious, on par with pizzas we’ve had in Italy, the best pizza we’ve had so far in surbiton/london! Highly highly reccomend!! The staff were lovely and welcoming; will definitely be returning and telling my friends about it! So lovely!”

“I had one of the best if not the best pizza this year at this café/restaurant/deli. Everything was perfect. Delicious toppings and outstanding pizza base! Perfect! This place is not fancy but sometimes it's the simplest places that offer the best food.”

“It was our first time here. My mum who complains about all types of places we visit for food said the food is "excellent". We loved the food and the portion sizes are huge!! Nicely decorated for Halloween, restaurant has a nice ambience. Staff are really friendly. Everything was wonderful. Thank you, we will visit again!”

“This place is top notch. I love the decor and the care provided to me while they do my hair. Anna is a super duper awesome barber. Amir, what can I say about this man? He is exceptionally fantabulously marvelous barber in the business. Highly recommend.”

“One of my favourite places in Kingston/Surbiton. Freshly made dishes that taste amazing. Great customer service. A shot or two of limoncello after the dinner is a must”

“Cosy little restaurant, seems family run. Very enjoyable meal in a welcoming environment. Would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed!”

“I’ve visited a few times in the last month, predominantly to grab coffee and work. The staff are always very friendly and last time I visited with my partner, we were given a free pot of Persian tea, which was delicious. The coffee (particularly cappuccino) is excellent, as are the smoothies. The food is very good on the whole, though I would personally prefer the bacon fried or grilled. Would highly recommend popping by for a coffee and breakfast/brunch.”

“What a wonderful group Christmas meal we have just had. The food was generous and delicious. The printing of nameplates with food choice of each guest was genius. Festive decorations and crackers to pull made the atmosphere lovely and christmassy. Being able to pay with cash also helped for those without bank accounts!”

“Lovely Thai place. Quality ingredients!”

“Excellent cafe if you are hungry, one of the best, unfortunately ruined by the council taking away the parking outside which has affected their business, but then councils couldn't care less but they still want their business tax.”

“We were a family party of 16 people, the welcome was warm, the service was efficient and the food, Sunday lunch, was well worth the short wait while it was prepared.”

“Been coming here for more than a year now and they always deliver what I ask for to their best ability ! Great customer service as well, always very accommodating to your requests ❤️ I’ve moved away now but I still travel here to get my nails done whenever I can!”

“Great place for lunch, brunch and wine. Have visited many times for wine and pizza, coffee and cake, and the soups are always excellent. They have a good selection of quality wines to take home. Highly recommend.”

“I have used this place. Lovely people. And very reasonably priced. I always come out happy with my nails. I just had a shellac French manicure for £18. Would recommend.”

“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.”

“Lovely little hidden gem. Amazing hospitality and amazing food. Never tried waffle pizza before, its a taste sensation. Waffle really does bring out the flavours on the topping. Portions are super generous too. Have one last night in Tolworth and I'm deffo going back for more. Homemade, Creativity, independent and welcoming what more do you need on a dining experience.”

“your furniture is just wow... thanks madhurs you did perfect my dining area.”

“I have a splendid experience with the people running this business as they are very friendly and straight forward I have no doubt to recommend them to anyone good luck God bless”

“I highy recommend it to anyone who wants to have a pleasant experience, with delicious food and friendly staff. We were very well looked after!”

“James kitchen serves the best inspired Turkish food in tolworth.Their hospitality is overwhelming and their service is immaculate.will 100% be visiting again”

“Just had an excellent meal from Tasty Bite on Surbiton Road. The food was fresh, flavorful, and delivered quickly. I've tried their peri-peri grilled chicken with coloured rice , and they've both been fantastic. The staff is always friendly and generous especially (Hamidi), and it's a great spot for a delicious takeaway. They are open until 1:00 am. Highly recommend!"”
