“Visited the Ramblers Rest pub for Father’s Day and had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. It’s also a dog-friendly pub, which was a huge plus as we brought our dog along and she was made to feel just as welcome! For food, I had the king prawns to start, the beef roast for my main, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, every single dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!”

“Early this afternoon I took a trip to the Tudor as me and the kids usually do and had to commend the mocha and burger I had. What a meal! And we were very kindly served by your waitress tia. Do thank her for me, she really gave us a warm welcome and will certainly be coming back soon”

“A proper oasis for Italians, proper food, great selection of panini and pastries and probably the best coffee you can get outside of Italy! Antonio is a great host and highly professional and I guess this help the extremely chill and friendly atmosphere in his premises.

“I come here every week whilst my puppy has hydrotherapy next door, such a lovely cafe. Have had the full english, Buddha bowls (if I’m remembering the name correctly) and also the jacket potatoes. They also have paninis. Doggy friendly as well and the ladies that work here are always cheerful. The food is made fresh and is so good! There is something for everyone. The photo is my of my fav drink they do - chai latte!”

“Popped in and sat outside on a lovely day basically in the park for a Thai tea latte, coffee and home made cake. We have been back several times. This last time we wanted to try the Thai dishes - my goodness what a treat. Fragrant and freshly made a truly delicious meal this time in the open and seated in the park”

Thank goodness we did.The Sunday Roast was a very generous plate of food. Really great Roast. The staff were great. Polite and friendly. Looking forwards to returning soon”

“We moved to Coulsdon with our family 3 weeks ago and had the chance to try BUZZ Café & Kebab. Previouslyy we had bought from the kebab shop at the entrance of the high street also opposite Aldi one, but the taste of the doner and kebabs here is completely different.They have a parking space infront the shop. The meat was soft and all the sinews were removed. We ordered fir 4 adults and 3 children 2 small doners, 1 half pounder with cheese, 2 large chicken, 1 lovely iskender, 1 adana kebab plus chips, rice drinks. They offered free drinks and hummus on the house. Their homemade garlic and hot sauce were excellent taste. Everyone in the family enjoyed it very much :-)). They also gave lollipops to the kids which was a lovely touch.They have very nice sitting are but we did not try their cafe yet but we will soon. The portions are larger compared to other places, and they offer 2 different types of wrap bread which is a nice option. Their homemade rice and salads were also very fresh and tasty. We always pay attention to hygiene while using the restroom, I had a look at the kitchen. It was clean. I even noticed one of the chefs dropped tongs on the floor and discreetly replaced them with a clean one. The young staff were neat and polite. In short, BUZZ Café & Kebab is a clean, generous and delicious placee where families can eat with confidence in Coulsdon for us. Highly recommended.”

“Food was great! We went for a brunch. Food came out hot and was really tasty. Staff were great too”

“The best Chinese, prawn toast is something else I’ve never had anything like it! Lovely people and lovely food. Been using china chef for years, they’re very popular and get busy so order in plenty of time”

“Fantastic food here, the peri peri chicken was better than nandos, juicy, moist and flavoursome. Should have gone for the hot though. Beef wrap was to die for, nice beef kofta with a delicious garlic sauce. The Lahmacun was really good as a light main or a starter. Close second star of the show though were the Nachos, cheese layered throughout the nacho chips, fresh guacamole, and stacked with salsa, sour cream and jalapeños. Diet starts next week..”

“Im a chef for 24 years, and I’m always come to Valley Cafe to have my breakfast! The best one in town! Nice scrambled eggs, delicious sandwiches and beautiful cappuccino! 5 stars service! Thank you guys to be the best in town!”

“Pauly and the staff at the Midday Sun were very welcoming, totally professional and friendly, with smiling faces. The guide price spent pp below included two bottles of wine! Great value and the best Sunday roast I’ve had in ages. Couldn’t fault any of it! Thanks guys”

“Been coming here for over 20 years. They do the best kebabs anywhere. Always have shish kebabs and chips. You get loads of chicken, loads of fresh salad and chips always perfect. I normally collect and see that they always make everything from fresh. Very efficient and never keep you waiting. Ordered for delivery yesterday for a change. Food arrived hot within 30 minutes of order. Delicious.”

“Christmas day meal. Plenty of room on our table, waiting staff were an absolute pleasure, making sure that we had everything we needed and despite some customers on the next table being incredibly rude to the poor waitress they remained cheerful. Plenty of food, excellent potatoes and the gravy.....oh the gravy! Will definitely book again for Christmas.”

“Popped in for a quick bite with family. Staff made a fuss of the kids which as a parent is always good. Was served by Charlie. Knew his stuff and was able to talk is through allergens. Nice atmosphere, decent music. Return today for a quick bite between meetings. And well, still the same good atmosphere and food was on point as always. Can take a while as some others posted but in my opinion, what an extra 5 minutes wait if it comes cooked right.”

“My default choice when I want a Chinese takeaway & has been for...? I really can't remember how long. That's how long it's been since I went anywhere else The food is delicious & the people who run it are very nice Why would I go anywhere else?”

“We have just visited Jaconelli’s at East Surrey Hospital entrance for the third time.. they serve the very best Latte ever! Lovely people also. Will be stopping by twice a week for the duration of our visits.”
