The best restaurants serving British food in Woking South East

We booked a table for 4 on a Sunday afternoon for 4pm. We arrived slightly late due to local traffic and were seated at 4.15. Despite ordering drinks on arrival , by 4.45pm there had still not arrived. When they did arrive, the waiter then stated "let me start by telling you what is not available". On Sunday's, the Anchor has a special Sunday menu mainly consisting of Sunday roast options. Despite advertising Beef, Chicken and Pork roast options, we were told that there was no Pork or Chicken left and only enough beef for 3 people. We ordered two beef and two Hake options. The beef dishes arrived fairly quickly but we were then left embarrassed as the two hake options failed to arrive. This left two of my party have to start their meals before all guests had their food. We were given the excuse that the restaurant had been busy. This is not acceptable. Management must have been able to foresee that on a Sunday during half term and with the weather good, it was likely that they would be busy. If you are not going to be able to cope when it is busy then close the restaurant in the afternoon or at least provide a warning to customers when booking on line that late afternoon bookings are likely to receive a limited service. This was a family birthday lunch and very disappointing. The only saving grace was our waiter who was working very hard. It was clear that the restaurant was understaffed as he was trying to look after about 15 tables! I will not be returning.

Excellent food all staff are friendly drinks are fabulous they are very good if you have young children with you a lovely family pub.

The Wheatsheaf has had its ups and downs over the years.We found it very much on the up. Brunch was excellent for service, quality and value. Full English and Baps great. Coffee very good. Excellent value. Comforable place. Recently had a good budget lunch of macaroni cheese there too.

Allways a good pint of Guinness in here 👌

Going downhill….been coming here for years but this visit was the last nail in the coffin! Smaller sausage, smaller rasher of bacon, smaller egg, rock hard slice of cold fried bread probably left over from yesterday. Then when we wanted yo pay, frantically waving and being ignored, headed to till and stood around for 10 minutes despite there being someone behind the counter who completely ignored us… apalling post meal service. Looked like there was less staff in there too….

Oh dear, our Thai dinner must rate as one of the worst experiences ever. The starters of chicken satay were cold and tough. The accompanying peanut sauce was tasteless. Only a fork and spoon were provided and so we had to ask for knifes! The main courses of noodles were mushy and inedible, it was supposed to be served with chicken but only two small pieces were there. The beef massaman main course was tough and over cooked. Not sure what the sauce was supposed to be but it was a congealed gloop of something brown. So, although the food was most disappointing the bottle of Malbec was excellent and a very good price. Go to the Plough for a drink and enjoy!

Lovely meal, food was amazing and Evie was great help and had lots of recommendations.

Had a fantastic day at The Sovereigns music festival, great atmosphere on the day, great fun for all family, bouncy castle, face painting for the grand children and absolutely fabulous music. It's a great community pub, all funds raised this year for Dementia Emma's House, a lot of work gone into organising and so well done. Thanks Sovereigns for a great day, will be looking forward to next year.

Stopped by when looking for lunch spot during hike nearby - nice weather so were out in the garden. Lovely and friendly service and good food too, recommended!

Wow i am glad they are back open now in the mornings and evening. They do an amazing breakfast as it cooked to order . And the staff are amazing and always helpful

I’ve often driven passed The Sandwich Board but never used them until yesterday. I was very pleasantly surprised to find they offer a very good selection of fresh food, made to order, reasonably priced and friendly staff. So pleased I decided to stop for my lunch!! I’ll definitely be using them again. Good to see an independent nailing it!

I purchased a to good to go bag from them but they were advertising the wrong address so I couldn’t collect. I contacted them several times about a refund but were totally uninterested about me getting a refund and kept referring me back to to good to go.
