The best restaurants in Witley and Hambledon Waverley South East

Unfriendly staff. Dreadful coffee. Won’t return.

We had a great Boxing Day dinner here for a party of eight. Service was excellent, food was great. I had the Shepherds pie, my daughter the cauliflower fry, two of us had plaice, and one the beef. All were excellent, as were the beef pasties we had for starters. Atmosphere was very nice, although I wish they had a place to hang our coats. As for other reviewers who complain about the 12.5%service charge, I come from the USA where the service charge for a party of eight would be at least 20% and the service not as good. My daughter and I were visiting my son and his family who live a short walk nearby and we will certainly come here again on our next visit.

Popped in for Christmas drink on Christmas eve, was very busy, but I expected that, we only had drinks, and were not expected to get seated as bar area is smaller than restaurant, but didn't mind that, staff were lovely, apologised for wait on serving, but again, could clearly see all busy, and we were happy to be chatting with all the locals, e ermine in good spirits, and had lovely atmosphere. Merry Christmas to all the team.

Came here for lunch as the ratings on google were good. Got sat in the ‘library’ with no warning that it might be cold. They said they would light a fire but had to ask 3 different people again as it wasn’t lit. And of course probably wouldn’t have heat up the room for a while anyway. Table next to us had finished and were also told the fire would be lit pre starting their meal. Food was edible, expensive for what it was. Would not recommend.

Very good food and service, sadly spoiled by rip off drink charges, £11-00 for two glasses of lime and soda water?, this is Witley not Monte Carlo!! D B

Cosy country pub that serves great Sunday roasts

We did not stay at the Merry Harriers but dined there. It was my wife's birthday and we decided to go there as we had had previous good experiences at the Hilltop Kitchen. We were not disappointed. The quality of the food was excellent as they only use fresh, preferably local, produce. The service was brilliant as the staff were professional and friendly. There is a cosy atmosphere with a log fire in the bar area. Special mention to Adam, Jana and Ben who made our visit special.
