The best restaurants in Cobham and Downside Elmbridge South East

Great cafe with 2 lovely female staff members who put candles in pal's bagel for her birthday & played Happy Birthday on music system! good tea/coffee, great salmon bagel & chicken bagel (tho pricey) but plenty of filling. Dog friendly, music not loud which is great as usually have to ask places to reduce as far too loud, have been a few times now

My first time visiting here for an extended family lunch. Sadly my overall review is not great in terms of service and being overcharged but most of the meals were really good! Sadly our waitress didn't really know anything about the food on offer when asked about the size of the prawn dishes and what was in the sauces for the steaks. Thankfully when most of the starters were brought to us, the delivery was good except that one of our party's starter was delayed. 15 mins later, still no starter and the rest of us had almost finished so we cancelled it. When the mains arrived, all looked great but sadly the steaks which were only offered either either rare or well done, was delivered more medium than rare which was sent back. Most of the meals were pretty good, tasty and a good portion size. We were surprised that whilst a child's menu was available, no child's dessert menu was, so we were charged £6.75 for one scoop of ice cream for the 3 year old (standard portion 3 scoops). Coupled with the menu offering two courses for a price, this was not reflected on the bill so therefore overcharged. Suffice to say, when queried this was adjusted and the cost for the ice cream refunded, however, we didn't like having to make these queries and felt quite uncomfortable doing so. We were also only willing to pay half of the automatically added 12.5% service charge due to the poor service received. A point to be mentioned too are the toilets which are so low, they seem more appropriate for young children and by the looks of things, it was a shock to previous guests as the toilet was very loose on the wall. Such a shame, as we were looking forward to trying somewhere different in Cobham. When restaurants charge premium prices, one would expect more knowledgeable waiting staff and a more efficient service. Thank goodness most of the meals tasted pretty good.

I often go here to get my lunch whilst at work. I have had most things from the menu and they are all so delicious and authentic-tasting. The ingredients are also good quality and it’s great value for money.

Enjoying a rainy Sunday in a warm place with a very good Sunday roast service. Excellent quality perished.

Myself and my mum ordered two hot chocolate’s with marshmallows and whipped cream and they were lovely. We also both had mozzarella and pesto hot paninis and were very hot and cooked to perfection. The young lady who took our order was very welcoming with a lovely smile and a good work attitude. After we had used there toilet facilities I spoke to the Polish woman and thank her for our lovely lunch. She was very happy, professional and polite. Thank you to the staff including the person behind in the kitchen who works very hard. If your in Cobham I would recommend this cafe for a bite to eat. Thank you all yours Lord Butleigh Of Somerset.

Great coffee, best I have had in England since visiting from Australia. Lovely lemon and blueberry cake. Good service.

I would highly recommend a visit to The Bear! It has a great atmosphere, the food has always been fantastic and lovely staff. They also have a beautiful shaded garden are for sunny days. A definite bonus having parking on site which makes it very convenient.

Very friendly staff and good food

Terrible crap, not fresh roll, coffee... It's hard to call it coffee. I don't recommend it.

Brilliant birthday treat, good food, excellent wine, great service. We will just have to come back again. Maybe there will be Arrancini next time!

Lovely staff and lovely place but garden is closed and came here for garden hence not 5 stars

Nice welcome by polite friendly staff. We were seated next to a party of 8 and could not hear ourselves speak. We asked to be moved and this was done efficiently and effectively. We were celebrating a special occasion and felt that our lunch of 3 courses was rushed. You are only allocated 1hr and 45 mins to occupy the table as a couple and we really felt the courses came too quickly and dessert was put on the table before we had even finished our wine even though a short break was requested. My starter of scallops was tasteless. The melon was virtually frozen in my husband's dish and the food could have done with being hot rather than warm. The portion sizes are good and the staff are attentive and helpful, we just felt rushed.

Lovely little place for a coffee and light lunch! Coffees arrived fast and tasted great. My partner ordered the peri peri chicken wrap which was super juicy and I had the beef brisket ramen (genuinely 10/10 - I was pleasantly surprised!) we sat outside on clean tables and sofas… basking in the sunshine. Staff were friendly and attentive which was an added bonus too. Will be stopping by again when we’re next in the area!

Great Costa located in Cobham High Street, all that you would expect from a Costa, great coffee, good choice of sandwiches and cakes, plenty of seating with outside seating at the back.
