Quick bites in Surbiton

“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!”

“Great service pizzas delivered to work for a meeting. Correct site and on time Great customer service on the phone and from delivery guy”

“Nice coffee shop. Coffee well made & staff really friendly”

“Just bought Chana (chick peas) chaat and it’s delicious as always. Seriously really yummy if you haven’t tried. Hopefully will be ordering samosa in bulk for a small gathering. Thank you to staff who are very honest and helpful.”

“Our local Hill Park Express staff are extremely helpful. Will go out of their way on a daily basis. Well run and trusted. My preferred shop because they are well stocked. The staff have proved helpful if I struggle to find anything. Thank you”

“A proper coffee house which has very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They can tell you where the coffee is sourced (all of it is Colombian), the story behind the location & the processes undertaken. They actually roast all of their beans in house which gives it a very fresh and flavourful taste. The staff will help you identify what beans that would suit your coffee choice best, I.e americano, flat white etc. Really recommend visiting the cafe to sit in or take coffee for your commute from Berrylands. They also offer various pastries and snacks etc to complement your choice. I feel like that this is an independent cafe not to be missed, with expertise and flavours which will not be found at a local chain coffeehouse!”

“We are a regular customer for teas and coffees and it’s our first year getting our Christmas tree. Wonderful, friendly service. We had a lovely experience picking our tree and the staff made it very special for our kids. 100% recommend it”

“The food was excellent, atmosphere fantastic and staff wonderful. It was amazing”

“A lovely little place tucked away by Surbiton station with a vast array of vegatarian options and a cosy, friendly feel. I had Foul-bil-Laban and a mint tea, both of which arrived quickly. My meal was not only delicious, super flavourful and fresh tasting, but a very generous portion! Definitely recommend, whether for a lunch or just a coffee break, as their drinks and dessert menus were also quite extensive and tasty looking.”

“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.”

“Very good quality food and drink. Quickly served. My husband had the chicken kiev with chips and salad whist i had the prawn salad. Both meals were perfect and hot. The kiev still contained the garlic butter, something i never seem able to do and the chips crispy. My salad looked like the photo on the menu barring one thing. The prawns had sauce on them and were not plain as shown. This turned it into one huge prawn cocktail which i didn't mind at all. With a £20 bill i consider this great value for money.”

“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!”

“Nice traditional pub with great staff and service. Also darts and a pool table!!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Not too shabby! Great Customer Experience and the food was pretty decent.”

“Ordered from New Woo about 10 times now in 3 years. Always super quick. Like 10-15 mins on collection. 5 mins when I ordered in-person the other day. Excellent food. Always consistent in quality and taste! Great customer service. This place is a credit to the area of Tolworth! Thank you! Keep up the great work!”

“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”

“LOVE this M&S!!! All staff are so helpful and lovely especially the amazing Rita”

“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.”

“I recently ordered the Chili Lamb Shank from Red Rose in Surbiton, and it was absolutely fantastic! The portion was very generous, and the gravy was rich and flavourful. Highly recommend!"”

“Most people who ride the tube the destination is the area around the station, but my mother and I back in Nov 2025 traveled to Surbiton Station solely for one of its Cafe Nero stalls. See, as part of our trip to London I wanted to do as many ethical Harry Potter things as possible, and while the ownership has changed, this Cafe Nero is the exact same location that was used to film one of the opening scenes of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I think I recreated the photo very well. I also ordered a hot chocolate and it was amazing. Thank you to the barista for not minding turning your work into a photo shoot.”

“Amazing shop! Has everything you could need and more. Staff are lovely and always friendly. It is a pleasure going there! Thank you for such excellent service!”

“I have been coming here every Thursday for 18 years!! It started off as a treat when I was 11 after dance class and now has become a tradition. Seriously good quality fish n chips and goes nicely with a glass of wine. Don't listen to the 1* peasants below. They are what we call 'Karens' these days!”

“It's 24 hours A example of what makes this country great The sun never sets on the tesco express Set the scene You finish work It's late at night While the other shops close Not tescos Any time im in there, the team are always on the move keeping it stocked up to keep items always available on the shelves”

“Great price for collection and Fantastic pizza, have been going to this pizza shop for many years and the workers there have always been kind and friendly. The food is lovely and they have nice halal options as well!”
