Relaxing restaurant in Esher

“The staff were very friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere.”

“Cote in Esher is our go-to for a quality meal and great atmosphere. We've been going for over a decade. Imagine our surprise when we were waited on by Vanessa. She was an absolute delight! So helpful, so attentive, so lovely - in every way. Thank you Vanessa, for making our meal in Esher even more memorable.”

“I had a great experience at this great pub located just off Esher high street. I had great communication from Liam to confirm my booking of 20 guys. He arranged a room for us upstairs, took table service for lunch and we were so well cared for by Sam. He was very attentive to us. The whole group had great things to say about their food. An excellent pub for a Sunday roast.”

“A Truly Wonderful Stay – Even with a Rocky Start What a fantastic experience from start to finish—even though our trip began on a difficult note. My wife was injured on the way to The Bear, and we couldn’t have been met with more kindness and care. The staff went above and beyond, and Tracy was an absolute gem—warm, genuine, and made us feel like we were staying with friends rather than in a hotel. This stay really highlighted the contrast with one of the sister hotels we visited, which lacked the same warmth and charm. It’s our second time at The Bear—we stayed last year, and although my wife was initially hesitant about staying in a pub setting, she ended up loving it so much that it topped her list for this year’s trip. We noticed several subtle improvements since our last visit—small touches that really add up and elevate the overall experience. It’s clear that care and attention to detail are a priority here. If we had one minor complaint, it would be the limited parking, but it’s a small trade-off for such a welcoming and comfortable stay. Top rated—we’d love to return again.”

“Great sushi v fresh particularly the sashimi on Xmas eve ,went down well with family”

“The community rebuilt this park cafe and it is an excellent facility enjoyed by everyone who uses the park and Claygate Primary School. On a sunny weekend you will see many groups and families playing games, having fun, eating ice creams, with drinks etc. Food gets 4 stars only because it is not Michelin starred.”

“Great food , excellent quality best tasting breakfast I had cooked to perfection”

“My wife, daughter, and I ate here while visiting Chessington World Adventures. The food was fantastic, the ambience was lovely, and the staff were patient and very welcoming. The staff welcomed us and gave enough time between each course and couldn't be more helpful. The food was as good as a meal in Italy! We ordered both the bruschetta and caprese salad between my wife and l, and the tastes were well-balanced and only bettered by the fresh pumpkin ravioli and pizza. If we visit the area in the future, we will certainly be going back!”

“Genuinely nice family running the shop. Very friendly atmosphere, mum and daughter are very chatty. I went on Friday evening just for some chips, they were excellent and fresh. However they only take cash payment, which is fine by me as I'm old school. Do check if they are open in the month of August as they close the shop for holiday.”

“Booked a table for an hour. Still under lockdown rules but felt safe outside and despite being essentially a car park in an industrial site it was relaxing a ok surroundings. Maybe the excellent microbrew helped. Tried several and based on the result I bough a box more. Really enjoyed the cold spark.”

“Delicious meal - awesome for our gluten and dairy free friends”

“We went there for Xmas dinner. The prawns were floating in a sea of oil. Avoid The sea bass was cooked perfectly We sat outside under heated cover but it was still quite cold”

“Parsnip soup best I’ve had for years .. great coffee and Dads wrap was lovely . Would definitely visit again .”

“My wife, my son and I visited The Wheatsheaf to celebrate my wife’s birthday.The food and service were excellent. I had turkey and the amount of meat was a lot more than I expected. I would also recommend the Camembert sharing plate which we had as a starter. It was a little loud for my taste but it was pre-Christmas and there was a large group near us that were celebrating a little loudly. Amount spent below includes drinks and gratuity.”

“My goodness this restaurant is incredible and delicious! We had a big party of 8 people and service was remarkable. Beautiful atmosphere and wide variety of menu options and lots of gluten free options! Alex took such great care of all of us and went out of his way to make sure all of my dishes were celiac friendly! I highly recommend this spot. The Patatas Bravas were particularly delicious! Thank you Alex!”

“we had a birthday celebration , pizza making party for my 8 years old son our host Sasha was incredible. She did exceptionally well, and kept all the kids beautifully engaged, plus was so patient with 15 kids. Would definitely revisit again.”

“very good food and good price and good service, very welcoming”

“Debbie provided us with a delicious afternoon tea following a family funeral. Everything was freshly made and delivered perfectly on time. Our guests had nothing but praise for the food, including a great selection of sandwiches, canapes, including mini quiches and vol-au-vents, cakes, scones and fresh fruit tarts. The mini Cornish pasties, still warm from the oven, disappeared within minutes! Thank you so much Debbie. Sally and Kevin Doyle”

“Great place, great location, great host , would definitely recommend this place”

“Orangery Tea House is a spacious cozy spot with a lovely, inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and efficient, and our food arrived quickly. We ordered the Vegetarian Breakfast, Avocado Toast, and Salmon Bagel—all of which were delicious. The cappuccino was also excellent. We made sure to arrive early on Sunday to beat the weekend crowd, and it paid off. Highly recommend for a relaxing and tasty experience!”

“I was looking for somewhere local for a traditional Sunday roast and I am pleased that I chose the Marquis. Food and drink were excellent. The service by Isabel was first class. Recommended.”

“What a wee gem. Food was delicious. perfect poached eggs! staff were super friendly and helpful. Setting is gorgeous and right beside Esher woods so ideal for walk and brunch or lunch. deffo recommend”

“I held my 40th here in March and from initial meeting to the end of the evening Tad and his colleagues could not have been more helpful or kind. The venue is perfect - cool decor, great staff, delicious drink offerings and an element of cool/different. The food options on offer were ideal. I would hugely recommend!”
