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.

Good range of beers and food was really nice for a mid week snack

Perfect after a long walk with the dog. Can tell the fresh ingredients used and the small touches to get the dogs & kids settled go a long way. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Sunday lunch at The Bell. First time there. Good service despite it being busy. Lovely food. Will definitely come back

An amazing traditional pub with award winning real ale. Really friendly vibe and a big area out that back which they did up last year. The Proper Job they serve is amazing. A couple of dart boards around in a corner and two screens showing sport but doesnt have the feel of a sports bar. Great place.

Quiet Monday evening, a late decision given our usual local spots were closed, the dining area was very comfortable. The manager Henry and Jed were busy with enquiries but made the time to chat and welcome us, in fact more than that. We chose a series of starters as tapas followed by the sage ravioli. The presentation was a treat, the freshly prepared beetroot hummus with flatbread was delicious and plentiful. We were so surprised at the quality of the chicken skewers and mushroom dish, simply great. We cleared the ravioli too nice to miss. And finished with an ice cream, child’s pud portion. This is a pub with enthusiastic foodies in charge, we would recommend as a venue for a quiet mid week meal without reservation. Well done guys!

Great music last night, food was delicious. Highly recommended. Cheers!
