04/11/2020: My wife and I had a final lunch out here before the second lockdown. It was superb, and still good value.It seems that quite a few people had the same idea as Saveur was nearly full. Kerry, with one helper, was her usual friendly, helpful and efficient self.We both started with the duck pate. My wife hates vinegar and as always, Nigel (the chef) was happy to swap out something vinegar-based for a suitable alternative. In this case, a savoury apple jelly for the relish. The pate was light and delicious and went beautifully with the brioche toast.The main course was confit of duck, for us both again. It was perfectly cooked, moist and falling off the bone, and complemented nicely by the mustard sauce gravy. As a non-mustard-lover my wife was given a delicious onion gravy instead. With the veg and potato base the whole dish was seriously tasty!Desert, again for us both, was a light sponge with baked pineapple chunks and ginger creme fraiche. It was light and every bit as good as the other two courses.One of us had a large glass of Rioja, the other a large glass of Aussie Shiraz. Both were excellent.All told, the bill came to £55.Excellent food and service and good value. Good luck during lockdown Kerry and Nigel. We look forward to returning, with friends if able, as soon as we’re allowed.

25/10/2020: Went for lunch as a family, lovely warm welcome and felt very covid safe. The food was delicious and the set lunch deal great value. 2 of us had the set lunch and one a la carte. All were really good. The menu is nice and short and we would have happily had any of the dishes although I think the highlight was the venison koftas. Service was friendly and just right, we will definitely visit again.

12/11/2020: Just managed a visit before the 2nd national lockdown, and coincidentally our wedding anniversary.We thought that as we booked for an early time to dine, plus everything else going on, we’d be in an almost empty restaurant.How wrong could we be? It was full, but adequate provisions for social distancing were all in place. We were welcomed with a glass of bubbly each, thanks to the owner/chef Werner, who I admitted to that when I made the booking, I hadn’t realised it was our anniversary!I won’t go into what we both had, suffice to say each course was delicious,and extremely well presented!To round off the meal we were offered a complimentary schnapps each, which was another nice touch, made very amusing when Werner brought them to our table whilst yodelling!A great night, and we will definitely go again, an added bonus is that the restaurant is literally a very short walk from our cottage!

02/11/2020: After reading the great reviews about the restaurant we were so disappointed when it was fully booked for our week in Torquay, however we left our details and thankfully there was a cancellation. The meal was delicious , the boar and venison sausages on sauerkraut for starter were devine as was the schitnitzal for the main. My husband had the goulash. Veg side dishes were so tasty too. Kirsch cherry pancake and the hazelnut icecream was delicious. Werner came out to chat to everyone and the complimentary schnapps was just perfect for the short walk home. A warm welcome by everyone, felt covid secure and waitresses were lovely. A must visit if you visit Torquay

08/11/2020: Myself and my husband visited here on Saturday 31st October. We were warmly greeted by a member of staff. The restaurant itself is ‘open plan’ very modern. It was lovely to be able to watch the chefs working on pass.Now when I think of tapas I think of cold Spanish meat, olives and bread. This restaurant brings a whole new meaning to it and it is wonderful. For starters we shared the most amazing fresh Socius focaccia bread and sticky prawns in chilli glaze. Our chosen main dishes were cauliflower, hake, beetroot, carrot dish and pork. The dishes come out as and when they are ready which was just perfect. There were many different flavours which we had not tasted together. We accompanied our meal with a bottle of Chablis. Oh and to finish as we did not have room for desert we had a White Russian cocktail. Yummy! I would like to add that when we arrived it had just been announced that England would be going into a second lockdown within days. At no time at all did any of the staff let this impact their level of service provided to us. The staff are a credit to the owners. It was evident who the owners of Socius are, however it was lovely to see how they interacted with their staff and worked just as hard as the staff. Thank you all for a wonderful evening.

01/11/2020: (Apart from feeling slightly rushed by our Waitress to give order rather too quickly after settling down at our table, and feeling tables (upstairs) were slightly too high for the chairs, we set about enjoying what was to follow and, Oh Boy, did we!)Mushroom starter is absolutely delicious, so is salmon one (I just could’ve eaten double the amount of salmon provided!).Main roast pork was cleaned off the plate by my husband - he said it was 12/10 - and my celeriac main was nothing short of fantastic. So hard to find tasty vegetarian Main dishes that go with a range of Sunday lunch vegetables. This certainly did.Brilliant, perfectly-cooked colourful veg sides were wonderful.Merlot and Viognier Wines excellent.I’d eat here everyday if my waistline would allow!! Will definitely request downstairs table next time where you can see Chefs at workWell done Team Socius and thank you.

16/10/2020: Quizás el mejor nivel de servicio que he encontrado en 2020 hasta ahora. El personal es absolutamente emocionante, es muy educado y alegre, e hizo todo lo correcto. Era el cumpleaños de mi pareja, y los pequeños detalles que hicieron para complacernos fueron muy conmovedores.La comida era excepcional, como supongo que cabría esperar de un restaurante de este calibre. El filete de Angus era quizás un poco "gelatinoso", y podría haber usado un poco de calor. ¿Supongo que fue tan obvio?Una ocasión maravillosa, un personal encantador y un lugar encantador.

09/10/2020: Mi esposa y yo fuimos llevados aquí a mi hijo y mi nuera como regalo de cumpleaños. Una comida estupenda y un vino excelente. La comida era deliciosa, tuve el entrante de langosta seguido de rodaballo. Estaba delicioso, mi esposa, que es vegetariana, disfrutó mucho de su comida.No puedo comentar sobre el costo, no es barato, ya que no vi la factura (gracias a Dios). Un buen lugar para darse un capricho.

16/11/2020: As we are in lockdown we tried the French Table tasting menu at home, which you collect from the restaurant. it was first class, 6 courses all with easy to follow instructions, it was delicious, great value and good sized portions.

30/10/2020: Dinner on a very busy Wednesday evening which was good to see during this difficult time for restaurants generally. The food is 'old school', nothing too fancy, generous portions and good ingredients handled well. My beef was excellent with lovely earthy seasonal flavours and my partner's pork rich and tender. Good value for money and a welcome step up from everywhere else in Kingston and Surbiton.

01/11/2020: First time I have been to Anatolia. I was on a special night out and my partner knows the family that made the night better.Met the owner and we had some excelleent food. Home made Baklava was fantastic.The whole experience will be repeated very soon once we get out of lockdown and I would recemond you all go and enjoy some really nice food.

31/10/2020: As soon as we walked in the staff were fantastic, so welcoming and we felt completely at ease with having 2 noisy kids, very family friendly. The food was outstanding, wish we could go back every week!

30/10/2020: We are regular visitors to the window at the Galley. The tea and coffee and food is excellent, particularly the sausage rolls, vegetarian rolls, home-made soup and baklava. Well worth a visit.

18/10/2020: Another fabulous meal, the quality and portions couldn't be faulted with easy to "cook" instructions. As a bonus we ordered some extras from "the Window" for Sunday

01/11/2020: A very warm welcome into this great little restaurant with such a lovely atmosphere. The food is really innovative and tasty, with a special mention for the duck egg with black pudding bread.Having recently moved to Scarborough we are delighted to have this little gem nearby.

21/10/2020: Visited for birthday meal. The ambience was wonderful, the food was stunning. Would give more than 5 stars as the tastes were amazing. Would definitely without doubt go again. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Must book as booked up most of the time and can understand why.

04/08/2020: The food was very good at this restaurant which is a stone's throw from the centre. Its staff are all lovely and the evening was made all the sweeter by the chancellor giving us a £20 discount!

03/08/2020: A warm welcome and cheerful efficient service made for a good backdrop to a very well cooked and presented lunch. Highly recommend the ribeye steak and also the confit of pork belly and if you like lemon definitely go for the lemon posset pudding.

17/11/2020: We have fallen under the spell of the Witchez.... Have been going for about two years and absolutely love the experience every time. You always get a great welcome from the team of women who run the restaurant – they make you feel like you are an old friend. Mr Shadow the dog acts as the perfect canine host and always gives our dog, Vesper, a huge wag of the tail – and doesn’t get at all jealous when our pooch gets a special treat from the kitchen…The restaurant is beautifully decorated and both atmospheric and intimate in a unique and quirky way. The walls are full of photos of happy people from around the world. The unique menu is influenced from experiences and menus from Poland, Italy, Austria and Switzerland, including grandmother’s recipes. There is nothing else like it in Brighton! Our favourites include the Sea Wolf Starter- Marinated Herrings with a mad dog shot of vodka. The Polish sausage & Little Hooves dumplings are delicious and my partner who is vegetarian enjoys the Czech fried cheese with salad, as well as the Greek witch salad. The food is superbly cooked by an amazing chef & the service is very friendly & attentive. 10 out of ten.Thank you, Witchez, for such magical evenings, see you soon.

05/11/2020: We had the most excellent pizzas followed by yummy "Little Hooves" (potato dumplings - yes, potato dumplings! See photo) for dessert. The menu is extensive.I've eaten a lot of pizzas over the years, but I honestly believe this one may have been my favourite ever. The base was thin and slightly crispy round the outside but wasn't soggy in the middle. The cheese quantity and quality was excellent and the toppings of pepperoni and chillis was super-tasty!The service was perfect with the most personable and friendly staff you could hope for. The restaurant itself is very atmospheric with so many little touches to make it unique.Highly recommended.

16/11/2020: I’m giving them 5*, however, they deserve more: place was beautiful, service was fantastic and food... no words! Delicious!We were in really good hands! They took care of us at all times and all of us left the place with a smile... I guess that means something ✨ we’ll come back 100%

06/11/2020: Great service, good atmosphere!

24/10/2020: We ordered £33 worth of food for delivery. Uber driver delivered to the wrong address and This restaurant refused to Sort the problem. I order once a week usually, and was told by the rude woman that works there ‘it doesn’t matter how many times you’ve ordered’ - complete lack of customer service and willing to solve the problem. Didn’t receive the food and now £33 down.

23/10/2020: Went to Shiraz with family, had a lovely time food spot on. Nicola is an absolutely great waitress very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning

24/10/2020: The meal yesterday was sublime, my Welsh fillet was superb and cooked to perfection. My wife had the sea bass which was excellent, to the point that my wife indicated that we could be in a Michelin star restaurant in London. The plates were hot, the service attentive, for dessert my wife had the cheese board and I had the deconstructed cheesecake, again brilliant. Damian and Lisa Bond

08/10/2020: Visited this beautiful country pub last night for a celebratory meal . Service was amazing , staff attentive and professional. Food was truly stunning . We had lamb cutlets and Conway mussels for starters followed by Plaice and Roasted cauliflower in pine nuts sauce for mains . Should be in the Michelin Guide food was that good . Well done for also following Covid rules and making everyone safe

07/11/2020: We choose from the set menu, and every course was cooked to perfection! All the staff were lovely, and in particular the bar staff, who recommended and made us the most wonderful cocktails. The team managed to make it feel like a night out before COVID, even with all the COVID precautions in place (and a 10pm curfew).

01/11/2020: Lovely boutique hotel. Very clean & friendly staff. Restaurant was top notch !! Only drawback was no car park, however public car park only 2 minutes walk.
