The best restaurants in Runnymede South East

Just had scramble egg on toast, the toast was burnt also a sausage butty with pre cooked sausages just warmed up and 2 lattes a complete waste of money

Very friendly staff, fairly priced food and drinks, clean and hospitable dining area. There’s ample parking, a play area for the kids, and lovely surroundings to walk in. Well worth a visit.

This restaurant in Egham used to be quite good although the service could be patchy. However, it has been closed for several years. Please remove entry

Cielito's restaurant provided an excellent setting for an evening with both friends and family. We began the evening with a sampling of different drinks (strongly, strongly recommend the watermelon margarita with mezcal instead of tequila) accompanied by guacamole & chips and tacos dorados (ordered both chicken options with green and red sauces). The guacamole delivered with a well-balanced mixture of ingredients (and just the right level of lime). The only constructive criticism would be that of the corn chips (they lacked the requisite crunch of those found in Southern Californian establishments). After the antojitos/appetizers, we progressed to the grilled beef tacos, prawn tacos, enchiladas verdes o rojas (chicken) and fajitas. Cielito's Chef, Alvin, delivered once again on all four fronts. Everyone expressed satisfaction with their entrees and the solid results set the stage for the final course of postres/desserts. Unfortunately, Cielito's signature 3 leches offering was unavailable, so we opted for the churros (with creamy caramel sauce), flan, and Mexican coffee. The churros were cooked perfectly with a balanced covering of both sugar and cinnamon. Everyone enjoyed the flan, but some wished it were bigger in size. The Mexican coffee was outstanding with a perfect balance of espresso, veritas rum, and cazcabel coffee tequila. All in all, I would most definitely return to this establishment if ever back in Virginia Water. My thanks once again to Chef, Alvin, and his wonderful staff for providing a truly memorable dining experience.

Seafare is now under new management and is now called ‘Fish and Chips’. You can eat in and the quality is good.

The people are Clara's are friendly, informative and helpful! We had an amazing tasting bacon bap and a great burger and chips. The coffee's were tasty and always made fresh. A great selection of herbal tea's too! Would highly recommend stopping by and sampling the great quality ingredients that is used to make great food. Thank you to the team at Clara's for a great experience.

Molly was superb looking after us during a very busy Sunday lunch period. Nothing was too much to ask. The Hotel Manager was marvellous stepping in to cope with huge numbers of people turning up on a sunny day. Food was excellent 11 out of 10!

This is the 4th year we have had our Zumba Xmas Lunch here and the service and food are excellent. Graham and his team look after you so well. The restaurant is very xmassy and a lovely place to meet with friends. Roll on 2025 xmas lunch.

We come mid week for a lunch and have always been happy, came for our Xmas lunch menu 10 days ago, and were more than happy with meal, turkey/beef with all the trimmings. Staff as ever very attentive. We had been to another fairly local pub for our xmas meal with 2 friends, couple weeks earlier, much dearer and very disappointed. not worth the price

Very welcoming. Food was freshly cooked, tasty and hot. Great value for money. Pub was clean and comfortable. Nice traditional pub.

The special fried rice had no flavour the meat had no colour and the shrimp had a strong smell... none of my family ate it. The salt and pepper chips had good flavour but was dripping in grease.. so soggy potato and grease all in the bag.

Food was really tasty & staff are very friendly!

It's very good food and very clean. Stafs are very good

🤢🤮The hygiene standards are very worrying! Even my plumber commented on it as he felt ill once eating here. Family fell ill eating here, complained to food standards, however they said it's the 1st complaint received. If you get sick, also complain!

I find this store’s atmosphere consistently unpleasant, primarily due to the attitude of the staff and, most notably, the manager. The staff at this location often appear miserable and unwelcoming, making it feel as though customers are an inconvenience. This has been a recurring issue, and despite my frequent visits, the experience never improves. The manager, in particular, sets a poor example. She is visibly unhappy, unapproachable, and outright rude. Basic courtesies like “excuse me” or “thank you” are entirely absent, which I find unacceptable for a brand that prides itself on creating a welcoming environment. I’ve had numerous incidents over the past year, but today’s experience was the last straw. My sister accompanied me to the store, and after being served, she commented that it was the worst customer service she has ever experienced. This confirmed to me that it isn’t just my perception—there is a clear, systemic issue with how this branch operates. Specific issues include: 1. Attitude and Customer Service: Staff consistently display no warmth, courtesy, or willingness to serve. Requests for even small customisations to drinks—such as extra shots, alternative milk, or adjustments like no syrup—are met with resistance, frustration, or are outright ignored. 2. Manager’s Behavior: The manager’s behavior is especially problematic. One incident I recall vividly involved me asking for the door to remain closed during the winter for safety and comfort while I was with my two-year-old. Despite acknowledging my request, the manager opened the door again without explanation, leaving us in an uncomfortable and cold environment. 3. Consistent Disregard for Customer Needs: It is clear that this location lacks the fundamental customer service values that are standard at other Starbucks locations. This branch’s atmosphere is the opposite of what Starbucks promises—relaxing, welcoming, and uplifting. I continue to visit this location only because it is conveniently close to my home, but the experience leaves me frustrated and disheartened every time. Something needs to be done to address the culture at this store, as it is severely damaging to the Starbucks brand.
