The Rambling Pig in Epsom and Ewell

Good restaurant overall but I will say this, don't go there if you're looking for traditional Filipino cuisine as you won't get that, it's a fusion kind of menu and eventhough it was tasty, we thought it was overpriced overall and maybe trying to do too much with their menu. For instance we ordered an Adobo Mac&Cheese and the dish didn't have the slightest faintest taste of Adobo in it. Lechon was good but again, overpriced and not as tasty as if you had Lechon from an authentic Fili place. Overall the food was fresh and tasty so please do give it a try and the service was great too.

Great food, lovely service friendly

Very good food and good service waiting staff were rushed off their feet but still managed to be friendly and helpful.

The food was quality, the brunch offer on the weekend is banging. Service was top notch, beer and wine was really good. The garden at the back was great in the sun, good for little ones to walk about in the sun if it’s quiet.

Loved everything on the menu, the cocktails have a special twist. The service is amazing and the host showed attention to detail. Highly recommend this place.

The food is amazing. I’ve been twice now and both times have been lovely. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The cocktails are really good too!

Amazing Sunday roast - slow cooked pork was amazing, the vegetables were cooked beautifully, gravy to die for and we would go back just for the Yorkshire pudding.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

What a find this was. The food is excellent; everything we ordered was absolutely delicious (especially the confit duck leg and the purple ice cream). Very friendly and attentive waiter, great music and all round cool and easy going atmosphere. Will definitely return.

The food options were great, nice blend of classic Filipino flavour and fusion twist. Staff were really friendly and accommodating of allergy requirements. We’ll definitely be coming back to try some more and highly recommend. :)

An Early Valentine's Treat to Remember! We first visited during their soft opening, and tonight’s dinner absolutely blew us away! The Filipino fusion cuisine was nothing short of spectacular—bursting with vibrant, perfectly balanced flavors and expertly seasoned dishes. Every bite was a delight! My favourite was the Sea Bream Kinilaw, Soft Shell Crabs & The Lechon! The service? Impeccable. Warm, attentive, and effortlessly on point. The cocktails? Utterly refreshing and beautifully crafted—just what we needed to elevate the evening. A couple of minor points: the restaurant was slightly chilly, and the aubergine in the curry was a touch bitter—perhaps a bit more cooking time would have worked wonders. Overall, though, an unforgettable dining experience! We’re already planning our return. Highly recommended!

Food was somewhat disappointing, everything was ok, but nothing was standout - including the dishes which were recommended to us. Very noisy!

Great little local phillapeno fusion a la carte style food. Delicious and great choice of cocktail. Will return to try the Sunday roast! Very quiet on a Thursday night.

Very slow service, food is overall not bad but very overpriced… the menu is small, which is usually a good sign but the fact that they run out of some starters, mains and drinks all at the same time on a weekend is to me very disappointing.

What a night! We recently celebrated a friend’s birthday upstairs in the karaoke room & a huge thanks to the team who were absolutely brilliant & very tolerant of our enthusiastic (& sublime, obviously) singing! 🎶

Food tasted amazing, but menu not very clear on main or sharer plate. Luckily I was advised to get rice with the brocolli 'land' dish which i assumed was a vegetarian main. Turned out to be quite small so very happy that I ordered the rice with it. It was delicious. Friends ordered pork belly mains with side of rice and the chicken brunch dish (which was quite a large portion) which they really liked. Really lovely restaurant

Delicious Filipino food with in a traditional pub. The eastern flavours do well here and really elevate the dishes on offer.

Great restaurant! The tuna tartare was particularly delicious. Had a lovely meal.

Had the best time. We had my uncles 50th birthday party and they made it a night to remember. The manager and staff were so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going there again.

Ridiculously good! Can highly recommend the cocktail happy hour (we had Watermelon Sugar High and a spicy 100 Hoxton) 🍹🍹🍹🍹 And the food was even more brilliant, small plates: Tuna Tartare Kinilaw, Ukoy Fritters, Slow Roasted Lechon (pork belly and crackling), Confit Duck Leg curry. And jasmin rice. We will be back asap!!

What a treat. Absolutely amazing food, fantastic tuna tartare, tiger prawns, lamb and all the rest of the dishes we ordered. Great atmosphere, complex variety of mouthwatering dishes.

The Sunday roast picanha was lovely; cooked to perfection and lovely sides. The Yorkshire pudding was a bit odd though - clearly made with self raising flour which was a bit odd and made it more of a muffin than a Yorkie. Service was poor. Needs serious attention. Otherwise, loved it and will definitely return.

Amazing food. Menu alters very slightly each time I've been which keeps it fresh. Been twice already in a short period of time. Staff really nice and the old building has a unique charm.

Superb food, will certainly return

Unfortunately, the Lechon (pork belly) was extremely dry and the Mac and Cheese was disappointing. Other dishes on offer seemed to get an ok reaction from the dining party, but across the multiple dishes ordered nothing was considered outstanding or noteworthy. Service was good, but the food was not good enough for what was charged.

Terrible service. Seem to be short staffed and neither server seemed to know how to serve tables just plonk food down. We finished and they left our leftovers for over 30 mins. We gave up on dessert. We left one dish we didn’t like but no one asked us if there was a problem. Very disappointing and over priced .

Lovely flavours and laid back atmosphere. Recommend!

Great food, quality service. Love this place.

Came across this place by chance and wow glad we did. Early Friday evening Had the most wonderful sharing plates served by knowledgeable and happy staff. Had a great time and will be back to savior more wonderful dishes

We went to celebrate for my parents anniversary, with our dog and baby and we were very welcomed! Food exceptional, creative, unique and cooked with such expertise. Service - the staff were very welcoming, they accommodated all of our needs/requests and the timing of service was perfect. I tried a lot of the cocktails and they were amazing! Pricing of the food and drinks were spot on. We were sat in the private room and it was cosy, it was set up for a karaoke as an additional feature of the private room and we definitely made the most of it. Highly recommend this place!!

An amazing food and the service was brilliant from kerry. She's great with my kids

Absolute Hidden GEM!!!! Passed The Rambling Pig many times as a local, finally tried it out; from its unassuming frontage you are welcomed inside a hustling and bustling thriving restaurant which is well hosted. The food quality is something that is unrivalled locally, concentrating on fresh and flavoursome cuisine. Dishes are served tapas style rather than traditional 'courses', but be assured unlike traditional tapas each dish is plentiful. Cost is not for someone budget conscious, but the taste & quality of food is reassuring! Walked away feeling massively satisfied, can't wait to drop back in and try out the rest of the menu! Thank you Rambling Pig!

Tasty dishes I do give it that. But all other aspects not desirable, the main issue being the ridiculous pricing for tapas-size dishes being charged at same cost as main dishes at most other similar restaurants. Service was slow and not attentive even though the place is tiny, and the atmosphere/decor is rather basic and location about 1 metre from the busy road through Ewell Village. I don't understand the "rave" reviews tbh, won't be returning.

Great little Fusion restaurant, and cocktails were also exceptional, we will be going back.

Best place in Surrey to go if you got the munchies!! Banging food from lechon (crispy pork) to confit duck legs and my personal favourite the picania steak with some of the best peppercorn sauce I ever had period!! Phili food in a intimate gastro pub setting with loadsa character! What more do you need !? How about exceptional service where all the staff go above and beyond not to mention the cocktails, geez!!! Can't wait for Sunday I've heard big things about their roast! Thanks again for the lovely memories hope to see you soon!

Lovely food and service. The Sunday Roast was one of the best

Very odd. When we asked for the table to be wiped, they came out with a dry sponge. When we asked for cleaner to be used this seemed to be a surprise. Another customer actually encouraged the staff to give us menus. The table rocked, and was sticky. There was a hairball in my glass. We left before ordering.

Food was excellent, staff were super. We sat in the garden, which was peaceful with the music at just the right volume.

This place screams Filipino Fusion!! The menu is devine. The staff are so friendly and provide excellent service. Great atmosphere. Reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Highly recommended.

How can they charge extra for a bowl of soggy rice? also why is it restaurant pricess for street food? On my recent visit, the place was empty but it soon filled up. Not much to say about the food because I only had one dish. The kare croquettes were a bit dry, and only two per portion which to me is a little mean. I saw plenty of groups enjoying their food, which suggests that you need to go with several people to get the most of the place. If i go again, i hope to experience a better selection and more of the chefs original ideaS.

Great experience, with happy, attentive staff ( a rarity nowadays), excellent food ( we had 10 different dishes between us ) and a good atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Incredible evening for our anniversary with some lovely authentic Filipino fusion food, great hospitality and lovely atmosphere. Thank you for memories of dad's cooking. Also they do karaoke... so that's for next time.

Absolutely incredible food, one of the best meals I’ve eaten. Shoutout to Kerry and Attiyah for the excellent service and atmosphere throughout.

Delicious food, 100% recommended option in Ewell Village

Lovely food, flavoursome. Lots of staff however sometimes slow service.

Had the tuna tartare for starter was lovely, then the beef roast , you won’t find a better gravy about , the gravy as I thought after speaking to the chef was made was made the proper way by roasting beef bones and reducing the stock . Beef was so tender too top notch .

Food was brilliant. Love the menu style with mostly small/sharing plates. We went on a Sunday and they have just started doing classic Sunday roast style main courses too which are divine! I have been twice and service has been amazing both times, have always been well looked after and I will definitely be going back again! This place is a must try for anyone in the local area if you haven’t already been. Also, had to add a picture of my dessert as it was too gorgeous not to share.

lovely experience and they were forever patient and kind to my large family meal, thanks especially to kerry and millie who were our amazing waitstaff xx

Food just outstanding, I’ve been here twice and great food, just keep in mind there menu changes so the second time we went , 4 or 5 dishes we wanted were not available and this was midweek aswell as some drinks were not available, service first time was amazing second time this has dropped hugely and I had to go up to the counter 4 times to ask for drinks/food/table to be cleared, food however has always been top notch

Manager Simon was superb, we had a fantastic evening

Excellent food, the chef is amazing!

We came to the Rambling Pig for their hog roast. The food was great...succulent pork with a nice filipino touch in sauces and spices. there were also nice mix of things for the kids and rest of the party from the main menu. We sat in the garden in the back which is a bit tucked away but really nice vibe. It took us a moment to figure out ordering but then the service worked out really efficiently. We then stayed on and had a few drinks in the beer garden

What a gem to find on a Sunday! Excellently curated menu with excellent Filipino selections. Especially the (Pulutan) breadcrumbed chicken with Korean hot sauce and the cauliflower with tumeric both excellent starters. The roasted duck and pork with crackling were both packed with texture and flavours which I don't think I've experienced before. There's a set menu (boodle) which id be keen to try next time! Should probably arrive hungry though... Non alcoholic cocktails were delicious and very full to the glass! Also, the service was really good even though the kitchen was down to 2x chefs - so well done for dealing with the situation. Funky decor helps the rambling pig to stand out in a village with traditional restaurants. Will be back

Pleasant little restaurant. The lechon was outstanding. Best pork belly I can remember, and I will definitely return here! Was a quiet Sunday, but nice upbeat melodies made for a nice vibe. The condensed milk ice cream just so rich and flavouful, without the usual bitter coldness of normal ice cream. Excellent from start to finish, and has shot to the top of my list of recommended restaurants

Lovely experience! We had some fantastic food (the fried chicken, seabream, and halloumi and banana ketchup are all brilliant!). Service was excellent.

Absolutely delicious food and fantastic service!! We were a party of 4 and had a great evening. Every single dish we had was delicious, including the vegetarian. Highly recommend The Rambling Pig and will definitely being going back soon! Special thanks to the fantastic waitresses Kerry, Amber and Seanna who looked after us and made our evening special.

Food was lovely, the service was bit slow. The staff are great, wonderful and understanding. Patrions were very chatty and kept interacting with our dog even with the warning on our lead (she barks at people but is completely fine when left alone). They had been there the whole day drinking and made sly comments everytime we had to leave to calm her down. Overall, it had been a disappointing 60th birthday dinner.

I loved my experience the food was amazing, portion sizes PERFECT, the only negative i would say was the erratic manager he was quite rude and dismissive stressing out me and my wife this was made up for by our lovely server leena she checked up on us frequently, made us laugh and made our experience amazing. we popped in Saturday evening and will definitely be back!

Amazing vibe, great staff and great food. A good range of cocktails absolutely loved the bartender, she knows her stuff.

Can’t begin to describe how amazing this little gem is and how amazing the staff and food are! We’ve been a few times and everytime can not fault a single thing about it at all. Always busy but staff are always happy smiley friendly and helpful and explain if there is a wait on the food being cooked which is amazing service. We were served by Attiyah this evening and can’t thank her enough for being so friendly and helpful. We will be back very soon. Thank you again to you all!

We booked a table, to try a new place to eat out . It was an excellent place to go . The customer service was excellent. The food was mouth watering. Thank you to the hard working chefs. The cocktails are to die for. And the atmosphere was amazing. I will be letting people know about this place as it is one of the best place I have been so far. Thank you everybody who works at the rambling pig you are all so lovely and your customer service is 100% amazing.

This restaurant is Filipino fusion inspired but staff are not Filipinos so none of the Filipino hospitality. Staff only seem to be looking after White customers. No one took my order until everyone else’s order has been taken, including those that arrived after me. Didn’t even give me a bottle of water which they give out first to all customers. Tried chicken adobo. Not close to how a regular adobo should taste like. For British palate, food in this restaurant would definitely be considered flavourful. However, adobo isn’t authentic Filipino taste so don’t expect much for Filipino customers.

The staff are very passionate, caring and go the extra mile. Food is incredible. A lot of flavour and great bar menu offering a fantastic unique array of beers and cocktails. We loved our waiter and the bar lady! Thank you. It’s the fact that they genuinely care that makes it such a great place

I recently visited the restaurant and was impressed! The atmosphere of the establishment was cozy and welcoming and the staff were friendly and attentive. As for the cuisine, the dishes were a real discovery for me. The menu has many varied and delicious dishes to suit every taste: pork, chicken, fish and seafood. All dishes were prepared using fresh ingredients and had a rich taste with a combination of sweet, sour and spicy notes. Particularly impressed were the tuna tartare and the triple chocolate desserts and delicious condensed ice cream. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was excellent and I will definitely be back again to try more Filipino dishes!

Lovely food but regretfully the service was poor. Ordered several dishes, 2 arrived after 30 minutes then the other 3 45 minutes later. Painfully slow

Have been in the UK for 3 years, honestly the best Asian-themed restaurant I have tried. Great fusion of various Asian cuisines. Happily picking up all those memorable flavors back home!

Hands down the yummiest Filipino / Asian fusion restaurant outside central London. Such delicious and colourful dishes. Im obsessed with the Ukoy fritters. Yummo!

Food was incredible, very different and delicious! Service was brilliant too.

Amazing food! We tried this restaurant for the first time last night and were very impressed. While the prices are higher than some in the area (around £10-15 for the small plates), it was so worth it. The portions were bigger than expected and plenty to share between 2, the meat dishes were really tender, and everything had so much flavour. The Filipino beer Red Horse is great, but be aware it's pretty strong (6.9%). It took a while to be served some of the courses, but the place was full at 8pm on a Thursday evening, so that's to be expected. We got the last available table, so I'd recommend booking ahead.

Lovely food, great service! 100% recommended !!

Good food. A taste of Filipino cuisine. Good service. Reasonable price. Highly recommended.

The food was amazing, the best meal out we've had for a long time. We were at the end of Sunday serving so there were few people there. Which dishes would I recommend? All of them

Interesting menu small plates, a bit like tapas. Good selection of food including good vegetarian and gluten-free options. Rather echoey, so noisy when busy. They turned the speakers off near us so we could talk. I will be back!

Fantastic food, great service and a lovely place to enjoy a fantastic array of sharing plates and some delicious cocktails. Looking forward to going back

Delicious food and great portions. The meat and fish boodle was fantastic and cocktails excellent. Will definitely be back again!

The good was very good, we tried at least half of the menu as we shared all courses and they are quite small. Very tasty. The atmosphere and decor of the pub can be improved (i.e. labels were still attached to plant pots). The service was a bit chaotic, the waitress said and did a few things that made me think she was completely new to the restaurant and the job. So I was very happy with the food but the service and atmosphere definitely need to improve.

What a great spot. A group of 5 of us had 10 different dishes to sample. Absolutely lovely food. Will return

The food was great...a little pricey though.

The food was so tasty, slightly on the expensive side, averaging £12 per dish which doesn't come with any rice or extras, however for the quality of food it was definitely worth it. Service was great from Lina and Kerry they were both lovely and welcoming. Simon was friendly however we felt as though he favoured certain tables and could feel his frantic manner when the restaurant was busy, I understand it is stressful but it made us feel slightly uncomfortable.

A superb menu selection of unusual foods and flavours. Feels like an experiment gone right. Probably more suited to those with an adventurous taste in food. Will visit here again.

My new favourite restaurant. Lovely lovely staff. Amazing food. I was too full for dessert - but ordered the rice pudding on a whim, just in case - and it was one of the nicest things I've ever tasted. Thank you so much for being dog friendly

Loves the food. Took a while to come out but was worth the wait. Generous portions too.

Banana Ketchup just wow...superb menu....missed out on the Mackerel Escabeche though

The food was nice as long as you don't expect it to be like the traditional dish, very fusion. Possibly short staffed at the time of visit as was hard to get attention to order more drinks, water but no water glasses for half the table and no serving spoons given with the food. It's nice to have the karaoke room(s) upstairs but the price is extortionate for what you get as there's no proper karaoke facility (£40/hr for small sreen, separate sound system and YouTube).

Excellent service, lovely clean environment and the food was incredible! Will be coming back!

The food was interesting, beautifully presented although the portions were a little small. The idea is to share however we had 5 dishes and three soft drinks - the bill came to ~£100! Mishmash decor and the place could use some modernising and a good bit of elbow grease on the windows, mirrors and a good clean towel over the cutlery and glassware. Also could do with some warmth, it was freezing in there. Shame as there's a beautiful fireplace which housed two electric heaters - very bizarre. The potential is there however, there are better eats to be had elsewhere for the money I'm afraid.

Beautiful fusion food, the Korean Crispy Chicken was to die for! Check out the photo! 2 dishes per person as sharing dishes

We came to the restaurant as a party of eleven including adults, teenagers, a younger child and a baby in a pram. We couldn't have been more warmly welcomed and looked after than we were by Simon and Ali. They were both patient, happy to answer questions about the food and attentive without being intrusive. The food is exceptional and probably the best Filipino restaurant I have been to in London - or Surrey. Credit to Ray and Adam in the kitchen for providing high quality food to some hard to impress Filipino patrons within our party. If you are new to Philippine cuisine, I would heartily recommend the meat and fish Boodle Fight, which offers you a variety of dishes to taste. This includes some of my favourites - sisig, lechon kawali, kinilaw - and some items that were new to me - ukoy fritters with an incredible mango dip and a delicious aubergine dish. Beyond the Boodle Fight, I was very impressed with their oysters, which had a lovely little kick to them. If, like me, you're not a connoisseur of such things, you may also consider them the best flavour combinations with an oyster you've ever had. Among our party, the lechon and kaldareta drew considerable praise, particularly the softness of the meat. My wife ordered the piyangyang chicken and considers it the best chicken curry she's ever tasted. My mum really enjoyed her longanisa with rice, as did my brother who kept taking spoonfuls from her plate. Bring your appetite with you as they serve all of these dishes in very generous portions. Finally, we adored the desserts. Guests commented that the homemade ube ice cream is better than a much loved brand in central London. The bibingka was also a favourite among the party though I was partial to the pana cotta, which was delicious. We'll be coming again to try out new dishes and sample the karaoke rooms upstairs. I don't normally write reviews but we really want this restaurant - and Filipino food - to thrive. It's definitely worth a visit! X

Great meal out at the rambling pig, fppd was great and very attentive service.

First time at this restaurant, very pleasantly surprised it was run by a South African! Food was exceptional and the service was Outstanding! The team clearly enjoy being there and enjoyed some good chat with them! Highly recommend the coconut chicken!

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The taste is exquisite and the food is always fresh and delicious. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classy and flavorful dining experience.

Love the actual food. The dessert needs to be improved.

The Rambling Pig is like a flavour fiesta of Filipino faves but with a cool fusion twist. The food's next level – a total taste explosion that's like a cozy hug from your Lola’s recipes, but spiced up for the cool crowd. The service is on point, and the vibes are spot on. Plus, they throw in karaoke for that extra dose of awesome. It's basically the ultimate Filipino feast and karaoke which makes for a great night of fun – 10/10, the food is truly exceptional and the cocktails are yummy, I would chow down and sing my heart out here again and again! Hats off to the Chefs! 🎤🍲 Salamat!

Excellent! Looking forward to going again!

The food was unusual and totally delicious! I particularly loved the roasted cauliflower. The manager and waiter were friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely go back.

What great fresh food. Randomly stumbled across this little gem and will certainly be back. So fresh and tasty.

Great to have something different in Ewell good choice of food and great cocktails

Really good food! Thoroughly loved all the dishes that were recommended for us to try. So good to have such a lovely new restaurant locally. Got pretty noisy when it filled up so some rugs or soft furnishing would help that. Food and service definitely worth going for

Had a really fun night at The Rambling Pig with a group of girlfriends. We were given a private room. Food was amazing and reasonably priced ( we enjoyed the drinks menu, including the house rum, hence why our price pp was high!). Service was a little slow at times, but really positive energy from the staff and good knowledge of the food. So lucky to have something different like this on our doorstep. Definitely recommend!

Before any negatives, I must say, the food here is excellent. Got to the restaurant on time. Was seated pretty quickly. It was very busy, which is good. Waited over 20 minutes to get a menu, or being offered a drink. When we finally did order, starter and main course for my wife and I, my wife's starter came after about 40 minutes (halloumi fingers). My starter of prawn and pineapple kinilaw was served over 30 minutes after my wife had hers, and considering mine was a cold starter, and hers was cooked, was a bit bizarre. The main meal didn't take too long to arrive after, but by this time we had been in the restaurant for over one and a half hours, having only just finished our starters. To be fair, we were offered a free drink for having to wait. The couple behind us waited about 45 minutes before having to ask for a menu. After waiting a while longer, they decided to leave without ordering. We noticed that lots of tables waited a long time for food, and had to ask how long? Overall, food was lovely, staff were nice, apart from some being overwhelmed with how busy it was. Would probably not go back there until the service improves. I understand that they have only just opened, but with so many other nice eating establishments around Ewell Village, I would wonder how long they can survive.
