Went to grab something to eat based on reviews whilst my car was being serviced. WOW you lucky climbers! I admit I turned up famished but this was genuinely one of the best sandwiches I have had in a cafe ever. I had chicken, bacon and avocado; husband had ploughmans and equally raved. Anyone who works in the area should find this little gem. Thank you

Incredibly tasty baked goods and great variety. Love grabbing a snack here between climbs! Only improvement would be bigger slices of some bakes for the cost.

Sandwiches were big and really good. Staff friendly. Cake was great and good selection. Cafe is open sided so you can watch the climbers. Worth a visit

Friendly service. The cakes were delicious, highly recommend the pistachio slice! The 'white hot chocolate' on the other hand tasted merely of boiled milk, topped with cream and marshmallows. The only seating area we could use was right in front of the ladies washroom, which isn't ideal for obvious reasons...and also the constant foot traffic.

Stumbled upon this gem by accident using the trusty “Food Near Me” search on Google. It’s a cozy spot with great value—two meals with drinks came to just £20-25. The pizza is perfectly sized for one and delicious, and the coffee hits the spot. Would definitely recommend!

Updating my original review and adding a star! We visited again & this time the pizzas where fantastic, both a meat feast and a nduja pizza. Great flavours, ingredients and the pizza base was crisp and light but with enough weight to hold the toppings just right. Made freshly and quickly too so great for a quick lunch. We also ordered a café latte and chai latte both really nice too ! Sorry no new pictures of the pizzas but adding the chai latte 😄 100% recommended. This is my original review below: Good pizza at affordable prices, it did miss a little magic to make them excellent pizzas though. We ordered a meat feast pizza with 3 types of meat + the traditional mozzarella and tomato toppings. Definitely a healthier choice then a papa johns, or other chain based pizza places. They also serve coffee and pastries too.

What a find! This place has very charming interior with very high ceilings and stylish tableware The food was a 10/10, with presentation being very aesthetic, and every dish being extremely tasty and full of flavour. We loved the dips with pita bread, fried feta in honey, and beef croquettes For the main we shared lamb and sea bream. Will absolutely come back again

I like to give positive reviews, but Theion is exceptional! Wonderful food - traditional Greek dishes, but made very special with a level of taste, ingredients and presentation that delivers a whole extra level of enjoyment. Beautiful former hall well modified into an interesting venue, and excellent staff who undersrand the food and enjoy delivering great service. Ideal venue to treat someone - from the family to yourself!

We had an incredible dining experience at *Theion*! The food was absolutely amazing, with each dish crafted to perfection. The starters were a highlight, spoiling us with fabulous flavors and presentation that set the tone for the rest of the meal. To make the evening even more special, they surprised us with a thoughtful touch by writing "Happy Anniversary" on our dessert. It was such a lovely gesture that truly made our night. Exceptional service and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended for a memorable meal! --- Feel free to modify it as you see fit!

We’ve passed by this restaurant so many times and finally decided to try it. And we’re so glad we did! The food was outstanding. All the favourites were in the menu, plus great modern takes on the traditional dips. Especially loved the butterflied sea bream, the crispy Hake fillet, and the moussaka. And the freshest calamari! The great food was completed by the light and welcoming decor, staff and ambience. Not to be missed if you love Greek food. We’ll definitely be going back for more!

My recent dining experience at The Ivy Asia Guildford for my mother's birthday was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was captivated by the stunning decor. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a delightful meal. The menu offered a tantalizing array of options, each more tempting than the last. I opted for the Asian Odyssey, and I was not disappointed. The flavors were exquisite, and the portion size was generous . The dishes are presented with such elegance It's clear that the chefs take great pride in their craft. What truly set The Ivy Asia Guildford apart was the exceptional service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers delicious food, a beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service, I highly recommend this place. It's a culinary gem that is sure to impress.

1st time here celebrating my daughter's birthday - it was good but not great. Food tasted great, but portions sometimes very small (as expected), and very expensive (as we thought it would be). Service was attentive, but they forgot the odd dish, drink order etc. We were told the 1/2 crispy duck would feed 2-4 people, but it only fed 2 (so some of us missed out). Overall it was great for a special occasion, the decor and atmosphere was great, but felt overall it could have been a bit better, considering the price. Wouldn't rush back.

Fantastic evening sat at the bar. The staff are all well presented and very personable adding to the experience. The decor is as expected from The Ivy brand, exceptional. But the food is the main event. A starter, a few small plates and a main to share was ideal. Check out the cocktails, the Paper Crane was a favourite with the bar tenders putting on a show

This venue has been on my to visit list. Heard so many positive feedback reports. Well the atmosphere, very attentive staff but not over the top. Staff friendly helpful and very smart. Made the evening flow perfectly. The decor is different and again adds to the experience. Cocktails oh yes, I do love my espresso martini and it hit the button….shame it wasn’t a pint it was to yummie. Food, with some hep on portion sizes from the staff, several dishes selected, all of them very tasty, sufficient portion sizes to go with the number of dishes. Then a visit to to toilets - the men’s !!!!! Let’s say it is different in a good way I left with a smile on my face. Overall great location, food, staff and ambiance. Would I go again, most definitely

A very cozy pub with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating options that serves great bar food and friendly service. It's so cool to see they allowed dogs inside and they provides lots of dog beds as well for use while at the pub. Will try to come back here when it's not raining next time and enjoy the river view seating.

Traditional battered fish is decent. Not the best but honestly one of the top I’ve had. The batter is crispy and not too greasy, and the haddock is not dried out and seemed fresh. The fish is super big, although this also means at some point it eventually becomes soggy. Pork chop is surprisingly good. Tender and flavorful with rosemary. Also super grateful that I was able to have a beautiful salad instead of the chips in fish and chips. Service is efficient despite the full evening. And dog friendly!!

Very cute restaurant! Very cozy and homie. Very interesting setup. You walk in, tell the peson how many and you pick a seat. We had halloumi fries (yum!!!) And crusty sourdough roll w/ caramelized pecan (omgee.. so good!). Main course, I have the fish and chips. My hubby had the roast ham and eggs, and my daughter had the crispy chicken burger❤️

Popped in for a coffee and Bakewell Tart. Excellent and not expensive. Great service and clean. Just at the top of Guildford so not too busy at 2.30pm. Quite a lot of estate agents grabbing a coffee. Probably quiet with over inflated rents and house prices 😉

This place makes one of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had —truly delicious and unique. Additionally, the shop’s supervisor is incredibly helpful. I had an issue with the loyalty app, and they spent several minutes working on it without hesitation. In the end, they managed to resolve the problem. I was extremely satisfied both in terms of service and taste.

Lovely dog friendly cafe in a beautiful village with lots of outdoor seating. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. They have a good selection of lunch options. The only critique we would make is that the coffee and walnut cake had little to no coffee in it. But lunch was delicious.

Anyw, that was super tasty for me. The whole experience was lovely and we planned to come back again some time in the near future.

Had a lovely breakfast at the dabbling duck. The staff were all very friendly and service and food could not be faulted. There was only one fly in the ointment. We sat inside the cafe as did a lot of dog owners. My friend has allergies and is a bit wary of dogs so it was a bit off putting to her. They were also all a bit over excited and ‘talking’ to each other which made it hard for us to converse. I’ve no objection to well behaved dogs but not everyone feels the same for various reasons and they are not necessarily just being intolerant. The Dabbling Duck has a large heated marquee outside as well as covered heated outdoor seating. Would it not be a good compromise to welcome dogs only to these areas and keep the small inside seating area pet free. Other than that small niggle it was a lovely brunch before a bracing walk in beautiful countryside surrounding Shere.

The handmade pasta was amazing. Al denté, cooked to perfection, the sauce was silky and emulsification done well, with lots of spices and onions. The clams were fresh, sweet, succulent. Overall a lovely dish for my Tuesday night. Bonus point is it is dog friendly and staff were friendly and courteous. Overheard a conversation between a customer and the chef enquiring about a table on the weekends. The chef answered every single question the customer had over potential allergens in each dish with great detail, and when the client was not sure the staff explained with great patience. The client facing attitude was superb. A side note my dog’s insta is @bichon.mirabelle. 🐾

this place is underrated. if you like Italian food and are in Guildford, you need to check this one out. would def come back if i’m craving Italian again. they also give you extra parmesan off a fresh block!! not the cheap pre-grated stuff 🙂‍↕️ it was £40 for 2 mains and a dessert including service charge which is a fair price

A popular cafe which offers takeaway and eat in. We had sandwiches and tea. The sandwiches were made to order, with plenty of filling 😋. My husband used the facilities, he said was clean, but downstairs. I'm not sure if there's a disabled toilet that is on the same level as the cafe. Staff were polite, and we didn't have to wait long to be served. We called in at lunchtime.
