Lovely atmosphere staff are polite and go out of their way to help you , I walk past with my dog everyday and often get a coffee hot chocolate is especially nice on a cold day making the walk so much enjoyable as a very dog friendly cafe they even have a board up with pictures of your pooches on ! Every year they sell real Christmas trees 🌲 I get now buy one second year they are good quality trees , when you purchase a Christmas tree you get a free hot drink of your choice ! The cafe makes my day a better day when on my walk with my pooch as located opposite a park and to the side fishponds ! I recommend trying the cafe ☕️

Second time coming here, great salted beef sandwich. Would recommend. Only negative, outside bit could do with outdoor heaters. Freezing in the winter

I booked a table for brunch online, and the staff opened the conversation with offering if we wanted to sit outside (sunny day). We took that opportunity and it was great! Food was a good selection for vegetarians, vegans not so much. The quantity and quality of the food was great, I got the cauliflower hash - defo recommend and my friend got the eggs royal. Cocktails too! When leaving the out area, you have to walk down the back of the deck and come in from a sliding door - not the emergency exit door you used to go out - there's no handle on the outside. I will be coming back.

A very chilled atmosphere , friendly staff, great drinks and delicious food. You can reserve inside but outside is first come first serve. However, the hostess kindly put us on a waiting list and we were moved outside when a table became available. We will be returning.

Great vibe of a small cosy cafe. We tried vegan food and it was delicious. The tea was great as well. You can enjoy the view of a flowing river if the weather is dry and not too cold. Staff is very friendly. Free blankets.

A very nice local cafe, with beautiful decor. I went there to have a cup of tea and pastries. As we walked in we were welcomed by the staff who were really nice and helpful. As the cafe was full we decided to sit outside which was nice and comfortable too. As for the tea, it was one of the nicest tea I’ve had, it was really good. However the pastries were a bit dry and hard. Overall it was a nice experience, will definitely visit again.

Bit of a Camden beanie wearing hipster vibe going on, but nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Really enjoyed my charcoal pepper and hummus ciabatta, and latte hit the spot.

Food was a bit cold when it arrived but the girls were amazing and sorted it out and gave a complimentary cake too. Love this place ❤️ Fran was so lovely and welcoming too. Took lots of pics for my bookclub!

Big restaurant, good for big groups Decoration and Staff are great. BUT food portions are SMALL. I ordered sage & avo stuffed kebab, as a main meal, it came with 3 balls 1 spoon humus and some lettuce. I usually don’t eat bread, but I had to eat the bread under it to feel a little full though we had 3 starters before the main meal. The ambience is amazing but this restaurant is not a good option if you are really hungry.

Just came back from dinner with a group of friends this evening. It was my first time coming here. We were served by a wonderful team, with amazing drinks and food. I had the mezzo bowl with falafel and halloumi cheese for my main course, and I had the lemon, olive oil and sea salt ice cream for dessert, both recommended by this lovely young lady (unfortunately I forgot her name, but she looks a bit like Emma Watson!) Such a friendly and relax place to dine. Will definitely come back again with my dog for weekend lunches (they are dog friendly too!) thank you so much!

We recently booked for a baby shower and had the sharing platters shared amongst our guests. The food was absolutely incredible and everyone was well catered for. The vegans and Gluten free attendees had their own boards which meant there was no cross contamination and they were extremely impressed with this. The staff were attentive and drinks came within good time. We were allowed to bring our own cake and staff provided us with plates which was lovely. Would not hesitate to book again for an event! Now looking forward to bringing our little one along for a nice brunch in the New Year!

Overall I really love the atmosphere of the pub and food was good. Despite some negative aspects of the visit I would recommend this pub. Service: We booked in for dinner. Whilst our waitress was very friendly the service was slow and inattentive. This was surprising as there weren’t many tables sat around us. Took way too long for drinks to arrive once ordered (was quicker to leave the table and go to the bar ourselves). £5 for a pint of diet coke also seems very steep for Surbiton… Sea bass with chorizo: Really enjoyed this. I normally don’t like chorizo but this paired really well with the fish. Fish and chips: Friends enjoyed this fish and chips. Banana sticky toffee pudding: Looks fantastic but sadly didn’t taste it. The banana chips were too hard and not a great take on the traditional pudding. A case where simplicity would have been better. The pudding itself was a bit hard and dry (looks like they were cooked individually but this means there was a crust all the way around which was disappointing)

Food was next level ! I believe it to be a new menu and I hope the chefs keep up their enthusiasm the same way they’ve created this menu and delivered it. All the time it’s like this I’ll be coming back non stop ! Well done to the chefs and front of house.

Delicious, top notch vegan food and exceptionally attentive service - especially Jane and Anastasia who were serving us! Also super pet friendly - Anastasia brought water and fresh chicken for our dog plus he received some lovely cuddles from her too. 100% recommended xx

Rating: 5 / 5

I had a really good experience as a vegetarian. The menu had a nice range of options, which is always a relief. Anastasia, was fantastic. She was super friendly, made sure I had all the info I needed about the vegetarian options, and even suggested a few things based on what I liked. If you're in the area and looking for a good pub with solid veggie choices, I’d definitely recommend The Grove. And if you’re lucky enough to be served by Anastasia, you’re in good hands!

The Italian restaurant you are looking for! Welcoming, personal and comfortable. And the food is great! No matter if you order pizza, pasta or pastry, it tastes like la nonna has been cooking. Thank you for this experience! I wish this restaurant was in my hometown.

We had mussels and garlic mozzarella bread for starter, and as a main course we had a seafood pasta, and pasta with sausage and Gorgonzola sauce. Food was fantastic, really tasty and decent portions. But for our liking the service was too slow. We’ve been served drinks quite quick but we had to wait for about 15 minutes to order dinner. And we had to wait quite long for a starter and a main course. Saying that it was quite busy and we do understand that it takes longer, but we’d expect the order to be taken quicker.

We were a table of eight for my daughter’s graduation day. The food, atmosphere and service were exceptional. We couldn’t eat everything so took doggy bags away to savour later. I can’t thank the staff enough for being part of our special day. I highly recommend a visit.

I visited today for my birthday with my parents and had a wonderful experience. Cleo was a lovely waitress and every single one of the staff members served us excellently. We ordered olives with garlic bread first. Then Dad ordered duck, mum ordered sea bass and I ordered the best prawn, calamari and mussels linguine EVER! 🤌🏾 Thank you so much to the staff for the kind and surprise birthday song & a candle with my lemon sorbet dessert. We all really enjoyed the food and would recommend this restaurant 💯

One of my favorite breakfast places in London. Cosy vibes, great service, delicious food and also has a small section you can buy goods from. We loved everything about the visit and the staff were so polite and lovely. Do try the Christmas cake!

The cutest cafe in Surbiton! Absolutely loved the experience. The food is delicious and the ambience was lovely. Would recommend getting the avocado hummus and sun dried tomato sandwich and the cappuccino with oat milk. Super delish. The service was superb. 5 star rating!!

Delicious food and great service. Food came fast, and everything tasted amazing. Staff were great and happy to make recommendations when asked. I can’t wait to go back! We foolishly didn't book in advance and they were full but they made a reservation for us to return within the hour which was much appreciated - it was so worth the wait!

I recently dined at a small Italian restaurant where the squid was the highlight—perfectly cooked and flavourful. The pasta was good, though not outstanding, and the pizza fell short of expectations. Service was friendly but a bit disorganised. Despite not being busy, the server asked us to repeat our order and brought the wrong drink. The restaurant is also quite small, with tables uncomfortably close together. While the food was enjoyable, the tight space and service hiccups didn’t fully justify the higher prices. Overall, a decent experience but room for improvement.

Came here for a big birthday with 14 of us and everything was superb. Staff are super friendly and service was outstanding. Food was very authentic and the Tiramisu was one of the best 👌 - highly recommend

Rating: 5 / 5

Absolutely stunning food. We had a fantastic night at Cento Uno with friends recently. A very busy restaurant but staff are so friendly and welcoming. You didn't feel rushed at all. I'd really recommend the Cabonara dish and the Salsicci. We didn't get pizza, but it looked incredible. Great price for everything and looking forward to going there again.

It was interesting to try Syrian dishes. My bowl of chickpeas, pita bread and yogurt sauce was creamy, hearty and homey. After the meal, take a walk in the small scenic park behind the cafe.

Rating: 4 / 5

Fabulous menu, tons of choice and super delicious coffee too (my hubby opted for the Syrian coffee - it was superb). Minus half a star as the cafe wasn’t spotless the day we visited despite being quiet.
