The best restaurants serving British food in Foxhills Runnymede South East

Visited for a Sunday roast, after having roasts in other places over time. ( better service than some other chains) Wanted a no fuss roast dinner. Pub was quiet which was nice. Roast beef dinner was lovely, not a great deal of it and a little more roast potatoes who have been fantastic. Would eat there again. Janet

After lots of good visits we had an awful experience today. Probably won't go back. We got to the cafe just before 2pm. My sister's schnauzer sometimes barks (as dogs do especially schnauzers). She barks at people as she is a nervous dog but a very good dog and settles really quickly. I choose the cafe as well behaved dogs are welcome and we've been lots of times. Ñ As we went in Poppy barked. I got her to stop barking very quickly. We went around the corner and sat in the small side bit where we always sit right around up the small staircase and round to the left where Poppy will not see other people coming in or out. We were told we couldn't sit there are they were closing soon (2pm!!!), they put us right by the front door. I asked if we could sit in the corner as we wouldn't be long and Poppy may bark at people coming in. When some workmen came in Poppy barked and I was told if the dog didn't stop barking we would have to leave. It was delivered in a rude manner. We were going to leave as we were flabbergasted by the rudeness of the oldest member of staff, but we had already ordered. Whilst we were eating my friend who only had a hot drink wanted to get a flap jack but at 2.15pm they started putting all the cakes away. Then people kept arriving around 2.20ish until 2.30pm just before we let and they were all told no food was available only hot drinks. They lost so much business in that time and their sign says open until 3pm. As we left about 2 40pm, there were 2 ladies that were sat in the side section where we had asked to sit in....leaving at same time.as us, so there was absolutely no reason why we couldn't have sat there when we first arrived at 2pm. It was extremely unwelcoming, not by all staff as we did have a really nice waitress, apparently our dog was scaring one of the waitresses,Poppy is not a scary dog she is just a barky breed. As they didn't have anything we wanted to order from the menu they stood around us for longer than they needed to whilst we re chose what to have. It would have been handy to say we don't have this and we don't have that when they come over to take your order so you know before you start choosing. The Old School Cafe needs to update it's sign and say no food from 2.15pm only hot drinks and limited seating from 2pm as small side section is closed for cleaning. If I'd had known this I would have gone somewhere else. If this was my cafe I would want business still coming from 2pm to 2.30pm and the staff would tidy the cafe at 3pm once everyone had left. How can they justify closing of that small section at 2pm when there was a couple in there who left the same time we did. No common sense or courtesy I did say the dog would bark by the door. Dog owners be wary of this and maybe find somewhere a bit more welcoming especially if you come at 2pm thinking you have a whole hour to get some food. I had already apologised for the barking and was nothing but polite, the older lady staff member needs to speak to customers in a more friendly and polite way. If your dog sometimes barks then maybe the Old School cafe is not for you. Id go to Heathervale cafe or a nice local pub
