The best restaurants serving British food in Riverside and Laleham Spelthorne South East

My wife and I were out for a walk along the river when we decided to look for somewhere to eat. This pub came up in a search so we thought we’d give it a go. The pub was pretty quiet (12:45 Sunday) so we managed to get a table in the restaurant. We sat and contemplated our choice of food. We ordered at the bar to discover that my first 2 choices were unavailable. So we eventually chose the blue cheese burger and chilli con carne. When the food arrived it was hot, good portions and well presented. Unfortunately for my chilli con carne that was where the positives ended. It literally had no taste and definitely no chilli in the ingredients. The boiled rice it was paired with probably had more flavour than the meat. My wife’s burger on the other hand was tasty, nicely cooked and had a great portion of crunchy sweet potato fries. The pub itself had a nice community feel and the atmosphere was good, but unfortunately one of the barmaids left a lot to be desired, looking and acting miserable behind the bar.

First time at the Retreat Sunday roast was amazing portion size was great so much couldn't eat it all . Staff very welcoming and pleasant. Will definitely be returning

Booked a Christmas Turkey Lunch for my elderly Mum & myself y'day. It was delicious. Turkey tender, tasty roasties and she tucked in & virtually cleared her plate which with her dementia she hadly manages these days. The atmosphere, welcoming staff and great food means Notcutts works it magic to make Mum's day. I've booked again already.
