The best restaurants serving British food in Molesey East 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.

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.

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.

Another great experience at The Bell, Ben is brilliant and so accommodating.

Great pub, great atmosphere, delicious food and lovely staff. Has a smoking area at the back with heating for cold days.

Great little find, like a little village pub in a lovely location. Perfect Sunday afternoon spent here. Staff were super friendly and service swift. Definitely planning to return xx

Landlord is extremely rude, confrontational and borderline aggressive. The walls and ceiling of the kitchen were covered in mould clearly visible from the garden outside and the carpet was filthy such a shame as it was a lovely pub some years ago when the previous couple ran it
