The best restaurants serving British food in Elmbridge South East

I usually use the Khao Sarn restaurant in Walton-on-Thames for takeaway Thai food, but ordered from the Thai Courtyard in East Molesey as Khao Sarn was closed this evening. The food consisted of a spicy beef panang and sticky rice. Or at least that’s what I ordered. There was a layer of oil on top of the beef curry that was literally around 1cm thick. The sticky rice was undercooked to the point that it was crunchy. I called the restaurant to point out the state of the food, at which point the first member of staff told me, ‘I can assure you that the rice was microwaved correctly’. After a brief dialogue where I was basically accused of lying about the state of the food, I offered to send a photograph of the curry to show how bad it was. I duly sent a photograph of how bad the food was, and heard nothing back. I then called the restaurant again, before I was asked to explain why the food was unsatisfactory again to several other members of staff, before finally speaking to a woman who purported to be the manager. The manager was rude and disinterested , making clear that she wasn’t interested in the quality of the food she had served. My advice would be to avoid Thai Courtyard and use Khao Sarn in Walton.

It was a very good meal. The ribs were amazing. The children were happy with there meals as well. We were grateful they managed to fit us inside.

Outstanding customer service by Ethan with beautiful smile. Sublime food and beautiful decor. Tables by window are recommended as view over Giggs Hill Green.

Super quick service and yummy cafe food and coffees. Dog friendly which is a bonus. The waitress knew all of the dogs name of the people that come in regularly which I thought was lovely. They also have some fresh product available to buy. Recommend the halloumi, roasted veg and pesto ciabatta!

This was a regular place for us when we lived in the town. Two years after leaving we were back on a visit and popped in for breakfast. Staff were great along with the food. Outside was a bit hit and miss due to close tables, smoking and vaping. Fortunately they are dog friendly inside also. Not much to cheer about in Walton nowadays but if your there give this place a visit.

This is a nice spot to fill the up for the day before we go the travel tourist.The coffee is really nice and we can plan our Adwenture on a full menu of eats , this is not to expensive and the staff are welcome with the smiles, Gut food all round and lots to the chose from

Don't often leave reviews but had the sharing roast with my partner and we were both very impressed. Service was fast, attentive and friendly. Restaurant itself had a nice relaxed atmosphere and a view into the kitchen which I always like. The food itself was fantastic, ingredients were clearly very high quality and fresh and a generous portion. Everything was full of flavour but the beef in particular was beautifully soft, crackling was perfect and there was plenty of lovely glossy gravy. Will definitely be back before long!

I live locally and dropped by on a Saturday night for a couple of pints. There was live music featuring a spirited local artist singing rock/pop favourites to guitar - he also sang requests. The pub was full of locals singing along, dancing and enjoying themselves in a lively, friendly atmosphere. Would recommend for a fun, relaxed evening out!

Rushed to get here before 2pm today for late breakfast, and made it just in time, unfriendly staff and refused and said breakfast was finished at 2pm, we said it's not quite 2pm yet, anyway will not be returning due mostly to their uncaring attitude which we have experienced before we might add. Plenty of other places to go to.

Had a fabulous meal with my family. The festive menu is great value for money and the food was tasty. The pub looks amazing, warm and cozy. Team attentive and hard working as always. Definitely joining for Christmas Eve, always a great community night.

Love the food and food they all nice

Great visit with the kids to Nando’s for lunch today. Food great and served quickly. Staff were really nice but special shout out to David who was enthusiastic and really happy, chirpy and very welcoming, amazing at his job

My partner & I dropped into this tiny,quaint cafe not knowing what to expect.We certainly were pleasantly surprised by choices on the menu. We opted for the standard Full English Breakfast and were impressed.The owner who is from Albania was so friendly and charming and we definitely recommend this cafe if you are looking for something to start your day.

So we arrived for a meal at the carvery on site, having booked a table for 14. No-one on the staff even seemed to know we were coming. Downstairs staff told us to go upstairs, the upstairs staff rudely told us to go back downstairs. When the meal finally started it was accompanied by what sounded like a de-tuned radio being played over the speakers. I went for a walk on the site to get away from the noise, whereupon I was rudely accosted by someone demanding to know who I was, saying "the members have been asking". I was just walking along the pathway. The entire time, a very loud high pitched noise was blasting out of some speakers outside reception. Why? Clueless, incompetent, rude staff, noisy, full of people who see themselves as above you. We won't be back, I'm sure. Edit: to respond to the claims made below by the 'owner': 1) None of us ever met this David Hanlon guy. 2) The 'trying to find jump leads' involved one member of staff saying 'I'll see what I can do' then disappearing and not coming back; we were stuck there for hours. 3) No fewer than four members of the family had staff members be rude to them. Why allow non-members to book into the carvery if we're just treated like this when we arrive? People reading this might think that we were problematic or difficult - we weren't, we were nicely dressed and well-behaved, but we weren't members. So we were treated like vermin. Thanks.
