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.

Excellent Roast Lunch. Crispy and soft in the centre spuds, lashings of gravy and a lovely selection of veg. A huge Yorkshire pudding on perfectly cooked beef. Yummy!

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.

Lauren was an amazing hostess, waitress and super attentive. All the staff were friendly and great service. The food was also fantastic, we had the roast for 2 people and it was the perfect size with a great variety. Definitely one of the best roasts in Surrey!

A late review for our parish Christmas lunch - nigh on 40 of us sat down to our Christmas lunch in the function room again. The room looked good, the food was good and the service just what one wanted, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I eat here from time to time, and I am impressed by how the quality of the food, especially the simple things, does not fall away when the Angel caters for a large number. My particullar point of reference is the roast potatoes - so often a weak spot in mass catering - the roast potatoes here are good, and they are just as good when they are cooking them for 40. I fully expect that we will be back next Christmas

Great for Sunday breakfast, good food, great service and dog friendly. We had an English breakfast, Avacado and bacon on toast, a smoothie, orange juice and cappuccino for £37 which seems reasonable

Great pub, great vibes, great food and great beer from Big Smoke and other breweries. My favourite in Molesey, especially on Thursdays when they have Irish folk band playing great music.

Fantastic place. Fast service and tasty Beer

Absolutely fantastic cafe and my new "must go to" for the almond croissant and superb staff. Some cafes just make you feel welcome and it was so uplifting . We'd just walked through Bushy and thought we'd stroll over the bridge and get a coffee. We've both got issues with saliva glands so the almond paste or custard on the croissant was the best I've ever had in London. I was over in Victoria park the next day and sorry kids but you need to learn from Dish. Whatever their secret is it worked for us. We walked back over to Fulwell with a spring in our step. The sun was shining and the only regret was we hadn't carried more change to tip the staff. We paid by card when we ordered at the counter and it was only £12. I am useless at tipping when I order unless it's a bar and you can buy the staff a drink. I scratched around and found £2.50 but the service was so good and the price so low I'd have happily left the change off a £20. It really was that good and I'll make a point of catching a Hampton court train next time and walking to Fulwell after a stop here next time I come down. Thanks for lifting us up and making us so welcome.

Good food with good portions. Always good customer service; particularly from Stuart and Peter. Its a shame Stuart will be leaving soon.

Lovely coffee and food always freshly cooked and worth the wait. The cafe is always spotlessly clean. I enjoy the banter with the regulars. Ilir is always conscientious, hard working and friendly.

Small but nice place to eat food. Waiting times were average but i expect that from a Nandos. Staff were pleasant and overall a good place to eat in the evening. Located on main road on other side of the highstreet. Decent place but prices are now getting to high and starting to consider if it is worth the price.

Lovely food and good range of drinks at reasonable prices. The service was a little hit-and-miss, but good food in pretty surroundings.
