Memorable experience 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.”

“Brilliant pub, great food and friendly staff!”

“We had a lovely time here at Harts. Food and drinks were great. Good portion sizes, the food was hot and the staff were very attentive. The only criticism would be that the spotlights are incredibly bright and harsh but that of course is no fault of the staff! Just maybe something that could be looked at,”

“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 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!””

“Ben has been cutting my hair for over 20 years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. He is amazing and knows exactly what will suit me. I drive for an hour to see him and it's worth it every time.”

“Brilliant as always perfect breakfasts brilliant rooms will always stay here when we are down in Kingston. Good value for money and very luxurious.”

“Booked a table last minute at The French Table and they manage to accommodate us for a colleagues birthday , from start to finish everything was merticulous. Great ambiance and the place is not overcrowded with many tables, they have 2 floors but the place is not too big. I asked for extras to be added on our table and in under 30 minutes they delivered. We had personalised menues with colleagues name on it. Everything i asked for, they delivered. Would definately visit again. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a Michelin type of a restaurant. Tasting menus, wine paring, good food, everything is just so done to perfection, the staff are so friendly.”

“I’ve been going to Sahar for my brows and lashes for a couple of years now. I took a break when I moved away and my brows/lashes didn’t last as long or look anywhere near as good as when Sahar does them. She is very friendly and knowledgable. I always leave really happy. I would 100% recommend.”

“BEST NAILS IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Never have I had a gel manicure last beyond two weeks before I met Max, they last so well. She has such an amazing selection of fun colours and glitters/ chrome/ cat eye. The nail art is affordable and more interesting than anywhere else I’ve been. Once you go Max May you’ll never go back ”

“Wow, the most delicious feta mini quiche ever! What a find! So much to choose from beautifully presented sweet and savory produce too. Lovely smiling staff. A wonderful surprise find for morning coffee with "pastries". Good value for money and quick service. We ate in, relaxing at the window bar seating, happily watching the rain! Highly recommended ( take away available too). JM”

“I had a great experience! Tirta is super lovely and I was extremely happy with the service - I would definitely recommend”

“This is one of the best escape rooms we’ve done. Set up was amazing and the clues were logical to work out and really fun. Going back soon to do the other rooms. Our host Caitlin was amazing, and made the game enjoyable. Defo recommend :)”

“Excellent service by the hostess, nice coffee and pastisseries”

“OMG biltong, where have you been all my life??? Drop what you’re doing and visit the shop to try delicious and authentic produce. Staff is very knowledgeable and will recommend you good bits if you’re unsure what to get! I can’t wait to get back to try truffle biltong. Great for gifts chutneys groceries and bbq. Would highly recommend”

“Such a wonderful lunch! Highly recommend the sausage pasta (I was initially sad that they had run out of the Bolognese but this sausage pasta was INCREDIBLE!). Thank you for a wonderful time - we’ll be back!”

“Came at 16:00 with my wife, the family run restaurant are nice and the food is authentic and great value. Casual dining that hits the spot in a peaceful environment.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I recently had a wonderful takeout experience from Chicken World. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection with a crispy coating and tender meat. The wings were equally delicious, with well-balanced flavors. Every bite was a delightful combination of savory goodness. The owner’s personal touch and friendly service made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Chicken World for their mouthwatering chicken meal that will keep you coming back for more!”

“Decent cafe a bit pricey that's all”

“Wow! Karla is the most fantastic employee! She was so polite, kind, attentive, and even helped us to find several items on the menu we absolutely loved that we’ve never heard of! This place is a must go, if only for the incredible staff! And wow is the coffee good too! The best I’ve had in England!”

“This is the best Bar in Surbtion! Perfect food, comfortable environment. The locals are very friendly. Spacious garden. It's in beautiful surroundings close to the River Thames. The waiters and chefs are very friendly! This is my favorite bar. I would love to come here every week with the ones I love!”

“Really good overall. Will come back for sure. Beef was nice and tender in the noodles, brisket beef could have been thicker but tasty never the less. Happy, great crab and sweetcorn soup.”

“Really happy with my treatment today came in for a preholiday pamper”

“Surprisingly excellent Bangladeshi restaurant in this neck of town. Each morsel was exquisitely cooked and prepared. Of particular note, the chicken tikka was divine. The restaurant has a fresh vibe and was very welcoming. The service was good, and helpful and the managers /owners were on hand to ensure things ran smoothly. Highly recommended if you're in this area.”
