Interest in Surbiton

“I wish I could give more stars for the service here. I booked the French tarte afternoon tea for my mum’s birthday in august, and the chef carefully curated alternatives to cater to my mum’s nut allergy. We were made to feel so comfortable, the service was the best and it felt as though our waiter could not do enough! We were also encouraged to take our time and enjoy every bite. The flavours were amazing and the homemade jam was so good! Will definitely be returning.”

“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.”

“If you are in the area you have to visit "The Antelope". The selection of drinks is just great. If you don't know what to drink or if you don't know a beer or cider, you may taste as long as you need to find your perfect drink. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is great. Music is presented by a vinyl-record-player! We didn't have any food, but the kitchen was busy and everbody who had food looked very happy. Place to be!”

“Fantastic service. Thank you so much for fixing the hole in my leather strap. Very grateful.”

“Really good meal and great service. Had sesame prawn on toast for starter... one of the best I've had. Then beef salad and sizzling beef for mains. Followed by Mandarin souffle... all good!!!”

“An absolute gem of a family run restaurant. Been coming here for over 20 years. It has always been consistent over that time. Lovely menu, well cooked food excellent service. A very good set menu as well as a la carte.”

“They have some of the most comforting burgers, I always love coming here. I have been coming here for months and the level of quality has always maintained high. Definitely recommend this place.”

“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 calm place with lovely people working there. Personable, chilled, attentive and polite staff. I have been there twice now and The Beauty Room is fast becoming my trusted go-to for when I need some me-time!”

“A little gem. Went here last night very friendly nice lady serving us we decided to have the Korean hot pot as we had never tried before and sounded really nice. We had to move tables as all are not equipped with heat for the hot pot but it wasn’t an issue. The food came quick and tasted absolutely delicious. On top of that it was pretty good value for money. A nice little place with nice staff and amazing food what more could you ask for. Will definitely be going back.”

“Lovely Thai place. Quality ingredients!”

“Mark is extremely knowledgeable - immediately able to recommend the perfect appliances to fit in a cupboard after I’d wasted so much time taking to other suppliers . Excellent service and very speedy delivery- I can’t praise this business enough !”

“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.”

“John is hugely reliable and will always do his best to help - great service at short notice on our car this week. Would highly recommend.”

“Lovely atmosphere and great food at this family (and dog) friendly spot! Really spacious and airy with plenty of room for pushchairs. Food is all vegetarian plus they do baked goods especially for dogs!”

“Have been coming here for years and always getting my high standard haircuts”

“I had always wanted a coffee table that converted into a dinning table. I knew cadira did one so I went to the ideal home show to see theirs. I was impressed and even managed to get a good discount. After 6 weeks, I was notified that the table had arrived. Delivery was prompt and very efficient. I love the table, it does wonderful things and though I have not yet used it for a dinner party, that is on the cards real soon. The staff I spoke to to arrange delivery and the staff that delivered it were always professional and helpful.”

“everything in the menu is great. 100% vietnamese flavor. i highly recommend their rice dishes, and curry. they actually serve HOT noodle soup not luke warm like other phos.”

“I've tried many Chinese takeaways in the area, and without a doubt, Wan's is the best! The food is always piping hot, packed with flavor, and made with fresh ingredients. Every dish tastes carefully prepared – from the crispy spring rolls to the rich, perfectly balanced sweet and sour chicken. Their portions are generous, the prices are fair, and they never miss a detail with the order. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is always quick, whether I'm collecting or getting delivery. I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else now — it's become my go-to for a treat after a long week. If you’re looking for a Chinese takeaway that never disappoints, you won’t find better than here.”

“Have a quite a few greats nights since the refurb and new management have taken over. Bar Staff all very welcoming and warming always smiling and so friendly. Nicky the New Landlady always smiling and lovely to everyone that comes in. Quick service but they don't rush you and always ask how you are, which is nice and what a proper local pub should be.”

“Been going here for the past 15 years since it opened. The shop has changed a lot over the years but the service still remains one of the best, been cutting here since I was a kid. These man never go wrong with your trims. Don’t believe any bad reviews. They are one of the best. Will remain loyal and always will.”

“Lovely place! My partner and I go here all the time. The people are friendly and welcoming, always so helpful and there is always a good stock of everything you could need. Thank you!”

“Friendly staff there. We like their ham we always get.”

“This was my first ever proper Chinese meal due to being. Coeliac but I felt immediately at ease. When first sitting down we were asked if anyone had any allergies and I was given the gluten free menu. There was so much choice our group got everything gluten free so I could try a variety of dishes. When the sauces were brought out we were immediately told that they were gluten free which was a nice touch. My group told me that it tasted like normal Chinese which made me extra happy as this is a cuisine that had previously been inaccessible to me until visiting here. Will be visiting here again.”

“Best cooked breakfast ever! Cooked to perfection - lovely crispy bacon, sausages to die for, beautiful runny egg and a gorgeous grilled tomato. The price was only £4.80 which was such good value for money, friendly staff and a good vibe. Liked it so much we came back the following day for a repea performance!”

“Very good quality and price very reasonable. Good quick service clean”

“I’ve recently moved into the Surbiton area and have steadily made my way around the various eateries that Surbiton and Kingston have to offer. I’d say this is probably the best food I’ve had in the area and I’d fully recommend those looking for a quality place to make the stop. 5/5”

“Excellent place for Sheesha. Authentic place, tasty Sheesha! Nice booths with screens. Staff very friendly. A great place to just hang out, good music playing.”

“An amazing & relaxing Hot stone massage with Penny. She' so calm and sweet and professional. now I'd love to try nails and waxing as well. would highly recommend! xx”

“absolutely love coming here! The team is super friendly and professional, and my skin has never felt better. The atmosphere is relaxing, clean, and welcoming. I always leave feeling refreshed and glowing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great facial experience!”
