A really lovely little cafe with a view of the Thames, and attached to a small city farm. The outdoor seething is nicely space, with beautiful surroundings. The space inside is a little on the small side, but it doesn’t matter, because the service is quick. The staff are friendly and patient, he explained the food when we asked questions. All the food is really fresh and looks so good, with generous portions. I got a bottled fruit juice that had carrot and ginger in, and the plain sausage roll, which was actually full of flavour, and good quality Cumberland type meat. The staff member accidentally knocked it and straight away grabbed a different sausage for me, without me having to even ask, immaculate hygiene and attention to detail, an extra bonus, if I could give 6 stars, I would. I was really tempted by the cakes, they had all my favourites. This is a great location for lunch, or to sit whilst waiting for a friend. It’s family friendly and there’s vegetarian options. I will be back again.

This is a delightful oasis in the hustle and bustle of London. As you walk there you begin to notice the quiet - then you turn the corner and you are faced with top notched baked goods coffee/tea. Very friendly service and a nice place to sit and unwind.

My favourite cafe given the great options for food and drinks. The staff are lovely, and work hard as they can even when there is a line out the door. If you don’t mind being patient then it’s worth the wait on the busier days :)

Wow what a difference to have a coffee shop like this in Walton. I went along with a couple of friends for brunch yesterday. The food was absolutely amazing, we had a variety of dishes and everyone of them was delicious. I would say the prices are correct for the quality of food that you are receiving and next tine we would like to try the lunch menu. Well done to the owners, we will be back for sure.

I’ve ordered from here on deliveroo a few times but I just needed to take myself here to leave a review because it’s SO stand out. They cook every ingredient literally perfectly. Usually with breakfast things, the eggs are a bit weird, the bacon always undercooked, sausage meat a bit tough, hash browns a bit sad and not crispy. But these guys just cook everything so beautifully I can’t deal. 10/10 recommend and 100% worth the money. Their coffee is also really nice 👌🏼

We popped in for a coffee and breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. Best breakfast muffin ever, I’d highly recommend.

We celebrated my boyfriend’s 30th birthday at Osso Buco last night and it was amazing! The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, adding personal touches to ensure we had the perfect night! From planning to execution, they couldn’t have done more for us. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was perfect for such a special occasion. Thank you to the team for making the night unforgettable.

We love Osso Bucco. Food is exceptional, just like mama made it, and service is second to none. Thank you to Luca for always being so attentive, and all the staff are just lovely. It’s like coming home every time we come here. Highly recommend Osso Bucco.

Incredibly superb. Best place in Weybridge. Really enjoyed the starter and the main was super delicious. Above all, really enjoyed my evening due to the fantastic and friendly workforce.

Amazing food from nick beardshaw from great British menu. We both had amazing meals. One sticking to the £25, 3 course set menu (lunch time visit) and the other choosing two signature dishes - “a moon shaped pool” and “balloon girl” plus the prawn stuffed plaice as main. Everything was so delicious. Real flavour bombs. Every morsel worth savouring over. I also had the signature lemon martini. Truly an amazing treat. Very happy to see something so amazing locally. We will be back. Hoping to sit at the bar for a chef’s table type experience!!

Wow! We had the most amazing dinner last night, everything was so beautifully presented and delicious from the elegant Hampton Court Spirits Freezer Martini to the ‘Great British Menu’ Balloon Girl desert. Esher has been crying out for a restaurant of this calibre for years! Great service and buzzy atmosphere 🤩

Starling in Esher is a gem of a bistro, offering expertly crafted seasonal British dishes by Michelin-starred chef Nick Beardshaw. It’s my 3rd visit and can’t wait to go back. Huge thank you to James for always making each visit special. Well done guys

The Sunday roast at Anchor & Hope is great. We’ve had it a few times, and it’s always spot on. The lamb roast, in particular, is delicious. The pub itself has a relaxed vibe, with river views and a nice outdoor terrace.

The most delicious Sunday roast enjoyed by my friends and me today. The staff and owner Mark so hospitable and showed true customer service that left we three ladies feeling truly cared for and appreciative of their care of quality and that they truly want customers to enjoy every aspect . Sadly they did not have my favourite cider . They had been very busy over the weekend , which is great . I was offered alternative and was given a sample for approval. Was a good recommendation. Not many pubs etc would do that . It’s a popular local place and my first visit after previously ordering take out . As a lone female, I would feel more than comfortable going there. Great team!

Always lively down here on a summer day. Can sit by the river. Pub is the best in the area. Classic old pub look inside, reasonable selection on tap. Got TV for sports, jukebox too. Sitting outside in the beer garden by the river is best though.

Authentic Thai food. Friendly staffs, quick and very good service. They also have excellent £10 2-course lunch deals. Plenty of free parking space outside of the restaurant. Definitely go back again soon and recommend to my friends. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A fantastic night was shared by my party. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and were sat at a spacious table. All our food was clearly freshly cooked and the flavours were abundant. We really enjoyed the spring rolls and the green curry. We will come again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Food was outstanding and to perfection, it was authentic and possibly the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The service was wonderful and the staff were accommodating, polite and provided a service with care. The atmosphere was quiet, calming and intimate which made the evening even more perfect! The prices for the outstanding and fresh food was fantastic, for the quality they should be charging more but suit for all people which is so lovely! Overall if I could provide a 10 star rating I would. Will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Amazing place , amazing staff and I love coming here. Have been there before as well. This time reached after 3 pm so food options were limited . So we tried hot chocolate and scones and loved both. Fruit Scone was really really nice. Next time I will try the cheese scone :)

Stopped here on a charity cycle ride from London to Poole. What an amazing pitstop for 15 minutes. Internally, the cafe is incredibly cosy, with a quintessential English feel to it, in a quiet, bucolic setting. When it comes to cakes, they offer all the classics, and by the taste of the granola bar I ordered, I reckon they have the recipes bang on. I also noticed a wide selection of teas, which I will have to try next time. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area and “gasping for that cuppa!”

Super friendly staff with a lovely smile. She made an amazing chocolate for me. The afternoon tea set is absolutely worth to try. The chicken sandwiches are delicious and the cheese scone is tasty. Cozy and clean environment.

Lovely place by the river. Had the fisherman’s breakfast which was good, only I thought that the hash brown was lacklustre and the toast was missing butter. Service was good, nothing to complain about considering how busy they were. Atmosphere was great, packed to the brim on a Saturday afternoon

Had a marvellous meal here this evening. We were greeted warmly and offered a table opposite the bar. The place is pleasantly decorated and looks fresh and clean. Tables have clean bright white table cloths and a cotton napkin in a metal ring, you can see your reflection in the clean cutlery. All the plates given to you are hot. The staff were friendly and attentive and whilst they didn't have bottles of Cobra, they had an alternative called Bangla which we tried and it was excellent. We had 1 plain and 1 spicy popadom each with pickles and they were both fresh and excellent. We skipped the starters and went straight for mains with some sides. 1 lamb dhansak, 1 chicken tikka dhansak, 1 saag bhaji (spinach), 1 bombay aloo (potatoes), 1 mushroom rice and 2 peshwari naan breads. We shared one large bottle of Bangla between us and just as a taste test, we also shared 1 half pint of Cobra draught. We definitely recommend sticking with the Bangla bottle beer, it had far more body and flavour. I have been eating curries regularly since 1984, so I like to think that I know a great curry when I've had one. I have to say that this was up there with the best. In fact the lamb dhansak was so delicious, I ordered an extra one to take away! Perfect heat, depth of flavour and the lamb was so tender and tasty. Absolutely marvellous. The saag and bombay aloo were extremely delicious too, as we're the peshwari naans. We ate a little of the mushroom rice and it too was worthy of eating by itself, so as not to mask its flavour. All round one of the best curry house experiences that I have had in my lifetime. A complete and utter unexpected pleasure on my part, since this is the first time I have been back in this restaurant since 2007, when it was Le Spice. The total bill, including drinks and my extra takeaway dhansk was £55. Very reasonable. Hot towels were served once we had finished eating and After Eight mints were served with the bill. They also do a Banquet night on a Wednesday for £15.95 per person for any starter, any main course, any side dish and rice or a bread included. Which is excellent value. This restaurant is highly recommended by me. I will be returning and I may even have my 60th birthday party here in a couple of years time. Thank you for a truly wonderful culinary experience.

We ordered a takeaway for collection. Delicious food, speedy and friendly service and affordable prices. I would go back.
