The best restaurants in Merstham Reigate and Banstead South East

What a fabulous find! I took my elderly parents here (Dad’s in a wheelchair) and my kids for lunch. Rui came straight out to help Dad out of his wheelchair and up the 2 steps and to his table. Mum and I went in to choose food and he showed us round and told us all about all the Portuguese food and bakes etc he makes on site. Everyone ordered different toasties which they said were delicious. I am GF & DF so ordered a prawn mayo salad which Rui did Portuguese style chopped finely with a lovely dressing. We sat outside on the covered area watching the world go by and felt like we were on holiday! We will definitely be back!

Good food but was so so late! Luckily it was still warm(ish)

Cracking Thai restaurant …superb food and great service .. the crying beef and salmon green curry were superb as were all the dishes we had … fist time here won’t be the last

A great selection on the menu. The owner is so polite and welcoming. The cafe is cosy, clean and reasonably priced. I will be back. Thank you!

I ordered and received the Valentines Box, yesterday, which was really lovely. All of the contents were very tasty, in fact there was too much food for one sitting, so we saved some for later. Delicious, and will definitely order the next event.

Worst kebab I've ever had preparation quality portion sizes all very poor will not use this place again I'll wait till Redhill kebab House returns do not waste your money so poor I cannot express how poor this meal chicken shish was .. absolute pants and as for reviews they got to be fake .

We use this place very regularly. The food is incredible, bringing our own wine makes it affordable. We absolutely love it! Would highly recommend the king prawn zafrani !!! Never been disappointed!

This is not my local Chinese takeaway but is my go to one. The food is always fresh and very tasty. Great service from friendly staff! No free prawn crackers anymore but there is a cost of living crisis going on.

Fabulous food delivery when I asked xx

Be cautious when visiting this pub, as what appears to be its car park is actually owned by a third-party company, Smart Parking. Despite spending money on food and drinks, I later received an unexpected parking fine—part of what seems to be a questionable practice by Smart Parking (a quick look at their reviews confirms similar experiences). It’s disappointing that a village pub would associate with such arrangements, especially for someone visiting from Australia. To make matters worse, there’s no clear warning about this when you enter the pub, and the signage isn’t prominently displayed. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

Beware! Daughter broke down in the car park of this pub, I came to assist her along with the AA and I was fined £100 for breaking parking regulations! I was not parked in a designated parking space but just to the side of the AA van, I was there for 50 minutes and did not leave my car at any point. My daughter had already informed the pub that she had broken down and therefore it was clear that this was also why I was in the car park. I appealed the decision but it has been rejected. I can completely understand the need to stop people from using the car park for the station but these were mitigating circumstances. This has definitely put me off ever visiting this pub as the landlord/lady are clearly quite happy to use a company that uphold an unreasonable and unfair parking policy.

Ordered a delivery for a special dinner for 10 on friday and Saffron really delivered ! It arrived early piping hot and no dish was a disappointment Fab food & service could not fault them, thank you Saffron Mershram

Came for some breakfast & it was okay to be honest. Only had poached egg on toast but it took a very long time considering it wasn’t too busy either. Also got a hot chocolate & it wasn’t even stirred properly either. So overall okay

The owner demonstrates a highly unprofessional and disrespectful attitude. The food quality is exceptionally poor. It is imperative to initiate a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about the substandard nature of this establishment. Additionally, plans are underway to pursue formal legal actions aimed at addressing these issues and potentially shutting down this establishment.

This has new owners and the fish and chips are great, nice size portions, price average, lovely staff/owners, shop is super clean and looks refreshing
