The best restaurants serving British food in Runnymede South East

The Tudor Pass is a small restaurant in Great Fosters, the Tudor hunting lodge hotel near Virginia Water. Given the small numbers of covers it has for a sitting it is well worth booking in advance. We went for lunch where there is a fixed menu. One unusual feature is that they don't give you the menu until you have finished the meal, which can inhibit your choice of wine ot other drink. The cost of the fixed price lunch was £90. The dining room is small (around 16-20 covers) and tastefully decorated and certainly the ceiling reminds you of the antiquity of the room. We arrived early so we had a glass of champagne outside on the bar terrace overlooking the bridge and pond. I would certainly recommend the Balfour English Sparkling wine over the house champagne. They were both priced the same, but the Balfour had a much better flavour and amount of bubbles. When we were shown to our table, I was surprised to see that our napkins were not only not ironed, but were positively wrinkled, not exactly what you expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. However that was absolutely the only thing to criticise. The meal started with four seperate amuse bouches. Each was brought out by the chefs who had cooked them. Each of them were really tasty, highly imaginative and brilliantly presented. Likewise each of the courses were presented by the chefs who had cooked them. To say the first course was English Heritage beetroot with dill and horseradish doesn't do the course justice. The flavours were superb. The next course was cod with bouillabaise, lemon and fennel. The fish was cooked to perfection and each of the other elements complemented the fish perfectly. The meat course was Hoggett (a cut above lamb, being able to live longer and graze well) with asparagus and garlic. It melted in the mouth. There was then an optional cheese course at an extra cost, that we didn't participate in. The dessert was beautifully presented cuban chocolate with hazlenut and armangnac. It is definitely worth staying for the petit fours as there was a really good surprise about them. Alex Payne and his team definitely are worthy of the Michelin Star and it is great to find this quality of cooking outside of London. The wine list had a good range of reasonably priced glasses and bottles. They served high quality coffee, which was a pleasant surprise. Beyond the restaurant the grounds are well worth exploring, particularly if the weather is good. In terms of value for money for the food served, it certainly is.

Their brownies and cakes are to die for! And the staff very welcoming and lovely. The coffee is fantastic as well. Most coffees leave a not so pleasant after taste but this one is so light and delicious.

Traditional English breakfast with great prices great service and lovely atmosphere with lots of traditional aspects to the British cuisine that are probably considered old school that is an absolute valuable thing. Classic British cafe in a very spacious area . The food is very high quality and catered for everyone. Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s so homely

I was driving thru and wanted to take the opportunity to revisit the OT cafe but it looks like it has changed to Tat Grill. Their eggs ben used tobe fab.

Price hike on Uber Eats. £9.99 for a 1/4 With Haloumi cheese. £6.88 for a cheesy chips. It's now cheaper for me to order elsewhere which is a big shame as the food quality here is amazing. Lost customer.

The prices for food and beverages have become excessively high. As a regular, I regret to say that I will no longer be dining or drinking at this establishment.

How is possible come at 2.00 pm to eat and that be the lunch time closed? Do you need come to lunch at 10.00am?? Absolutely ridiculous

Food was great as usual it did take a little while to come although it was extremely busy in pub so understandable. However we had accidentally ordered an extra main and the staff was so understanding and were brilliant in looking after us

Well, this place has quite the chilled out vibe going on, the staff are fabulous, you can tell everybody is committed to providing not only a superb service, but also a memorable Hospitality Experience. I loved their coffee and the Sticky Toffee Pudding with Double Cream was Off the Scale, Yes, you guessed it, I'm going back as soon as I can to road test their Lunches next week, ooh, I may have to perspone calorie counting next week, oh I most certainly feel that it'll be Worth it. Sweet 😇💜🙏👍😁💜😇

Booked 4 weeks in advance, confirmed 24 hrs in advance, turned up at the alotted time to virtually nothing on the menu being available. A total farce to call this a reteraunt.

Lovely place and food was outstanding,hit the spot for sure.

As always, the food part of lunch at the Estate Grill was superb. However the service was absolutely shocking and let down the whole experience. On arrival, there weren’t enough menus for our party and no children’s menu was provided for my son. I resorted to using the online version of the children’s menu, which later transpired to be out of date and what my son wanted to order wasn’t available. We ordered bread for the table and crudités for my son which then arrived with the main meal. Not ideal. I can’t though fault the food at all - delicious as always. On finishing our meal, we then had to wait nearly an hour for the table to be cleared. We had asked for desert menus and when these hadn’t arrived after 30 minutes, I went to request them and for our table to be cleared (we were outside so were starting to be bothered by flies and wasps on the dirty plates). When we arrived, the table next to us was being used by a wedding party for drinks. They left shortly after we arrived and the table remained uncleared the entire time we were there. We were celebrating a birthday, indicated on the booking, and no acknowledgement was made of this. It honestly feels like every time we come to Great Fosters now, there is a problem. It’s really quite embarrassing for the hotel, which used to be spectacular and which we have been visiting (including hosting our wedding reception) for almost 20 years. The new owners need to have a rethink of their service model because what we experienced today was not a premium level of service and we will seriously think twice about booking again.

My son phoned beforehand and specifically asked for information regarding the SWIMMING POOL and when he arrived the pool was closed!!! How could the receptionist possibly fail to notice this? Its a joke really Luckily my son lives locally but its still extremely annoying and reprehensible

Absolutely incredible dining experience. Well thought out and creative dishes that celebrate quality ingredients. Enjoyed the several surprises and nice touches throughout the evening. The service was also exceptional - each of the 3 person team were attentive, knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable.

We enjoyed a spectacular lunch here for our wedding anniversary, thank you to all the wonderful staff for their excellence, efficiency and attention to detail! The game charcuterie board was presented incredibly, we thoroughly enjoyed the venison ravioli, the sole meuniere, the windsor deer and the desserts - tiramisu and the doughnuts which were not too sweet but lovely and warm. Thank you for the special anniversary dessert too! A special mention to Liz our wonderful server for your kindness, warmth and excellent service.
