The best restaurants serving British food in Runnymede South East

Imaginative menu, sometimes deliciously powerful. Well worth the set price for a very enjoyable evening. Wines easy, perhaps laking adventure some of them.

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.

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 I resorted to using the online version of the children’s menu, which later transpired to be out of date and what my son wanted to order wasn’t available.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.

If you are on here searching for a great place to have breakfast or brunch then, honestly, get in Joe's and get eating. It's an honest, old school cafe. A proper cafe cup of tea and fry up. No frills, just mouth watering proper sausage, egg, beans, toast, bacon, black pudding and hash browns..... Hungry yet? Just do it! Also, lovely lady that runs it (embarrassingly I don't know her name after numerous visits) who also makes lovely coffee to take away. Thanks.

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.

Fab cafe in Egham for a tasty brunch or breakfast. Staff are really friendly and quick talking orders but aren’t intrusive. The bacon, mushroom & cheese omelette with salad and chips was massive and delicious! Hubby had set 6 breakfast (and my chips) with lovely coffee - we were both stuffed. Really good quality food and very reasonably priced, won’t break the bank and a lovely Sunday treat!

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

Fantastic pub full of local folk who are all very welcoming Bar staff and owners very attentive professional and pleasant to be around, Would I encourage you to go here? Yes I certainly would! Great food, great beer good company.. What more do you want frm a local pub 5* 👏 🔥

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

Brilliant staff, friendly and very positive. A good choice of food at reasonable prices. A great place for lunch. Many thanks.

Such a gorgeous venue for afternoon tea. The staff were great and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I wouldn’t say the food is amazing. It’s fairly basic for an afternoon tea. I was extremely surprised to see shop bought jam and the scones were stodgy. The cakes looked good but didn’t taste great and the vegetarian sandwiches unimaginative. However, we were offered as much tea as we wanted and a free glass of champagne. We would definitely recommend it for the atmosphere and reasonable cost and will return in the future.

Excellent service and great food

Fabulous lunch. Cote de boeuf not on the menu but owners got in especially. Cooked to perfection. Service is always friendly and welcoming. A really wonderful experience guaranteed every time.

A lovely lunch, great roasts and duck breast. Service was fantastic and the desserts were to die for.

The Bailiwick Freehouse This was an incredible way to truly get underway my dining year of 2025. We’ve visited the Bailiwick quite a few times now but this visit will definitely stand out. On saturday evening enjoyed a fantastic Game Tasting Menu of 7 courses which priced at only £80 was amazing value for money. We started the evening with a cocktail at the bar where we enjoyed a nice chat with owners Steven and Ami before taking our seats at the table. We chose a bottle of Lalande de Pomerol La Menotte 2022 that paired perfectly with every course. The menu started with a fabulous selection of Charcuterie and Snacks including Rabbit Chorizo , Pigeon Salami , Rabbit Rilette with Cheese Sable and a heavenly Pigeon Sausage Roll along with a game consommé. This was followed by the Parker House Roll with a Game Bird Liver Parfait , sage and onion butter. Next to come was an excellent Game Terrine , Stuffed Pheasant Leg and Woodcock which was accompanied by an Offal Cottage Pie. Each dish was cooked to absolute perfection and the flavour was stunning. This led us to dessert where first we enjoyed a Rhubarb and Custard pre dessert before the main desserts of an absolutely delicious Tiramisu and a Coconut Rice Pudding Tartlet. We finished with a coffee and sticky toffee doughnuts before being joined for another chat with Steven and Ami. This gave us a chance to personally thank them and the team for an amazing evening from not only the team in the kitchen but the front of house which was led superbly by Lewis. I would highly recommend a visit to the Bailiwick which is set on one of entrances to the Windsor Great Park. The food is amazing and you will be well looked after by the team. Thank You Steven and Ami for a wonderful dining experience and look forward to seeing you all again soon.
