The Best Restaurants in Carshalton, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

Went to Scotts today to pick up an order for my works bbq. My boss said they were good. 50 burger 50 banger 50 chicken thigh. Well, probably the best I've had of all 3. Ever. Very tasty, they cooked really well and bigger than most others I've ever bought. Lovely people too....was given a hand getting the boxes out to my car...:) Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Scotts provided the food for our wedding in August 2018, Alan and his team were absolutely amazing! From the start of the process Alan was just fantastic, what he has to offer was out of this world. He helped us tailor what he offers to create a menu that was perfect for us, always happy to tweak things if we wanted to suit our wedding. We had canapes and an exquisite BBQ for our relaxed festival style wedding, he was helpful and informative throughout, friendly and made it seem like nothing was too much of a problem. With the wedding being in the middle of land there was lots to try and get right in order to make sure they had all that they needed but again Alan made this seemless and worry free. On the day they set up and their outfit fitted with our desired feel. The food was delicious and plenty of it too, the main BBQ was incredible, a huge array of meat and gorgeous salads. We had so many people compliment us on the food and nearly everyone went up for seconds too. The staff were fabulous too, always with a smile and made sure everyone was served. We can't thank them enough for helping to make our special day so delicious! Thumbs up all round and we HIGHLY recommend them.

We had Alan and his team cater for our wedding in July. We had a lamb spit, with roast chicken and salmon to go with it and all the food was absolutely incredible! Lots of the guests said to pass on their compliments - many of them said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Alan and his team were super helpful leading up to the big day too, it was so good having someone with so much experience and so well organised. Very much recommend!

Scott's is surely the best quality butcher in the south of London. It isn't cheap, but quality never is. They also do wonderful hot meat filled rolls.

Order was delivered hot and on time. Pizzas were authentic and tasty! Will be ordering again! Thanks

Amazing pizza! Tastes like a pizza on holiday in Italy!!!!!’ Highly recommend!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Experience at! Casa Ponte Had an amazing time at Casa Ponte. The atmosphere was cozy and stylish, perfect for a night out. We tried pizzas and mix grill and both were absolutely delicious — fresh ingredients and creative flavours! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and making us feel welcome. Overall, everything was spot-on. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a memorable meal. Will definitely be back!

We had an amazing evening a Casa Ponte from start to finish. We had a lovely welcome, the food was outstanding very typically Italian and a great atmosphere. Gina and all her lovely staff were very attentive, Gina came and chatted to us a few times making sure we were all looked after. Definitely one to go back to. Lovely shot of Limoncello to finish off our lovely meal. Thank you to all at Casa Ponte…

We visited for the 1st time today 19th January for late lunch. My son had been there before and highly recommended it. We weren't disappointed at all. The staff were very good and very welcoming and the food come out considerably in time. The table layout is very good. I can't wait to visit again. Thank you to both waitresses, very pleasant and friendly and above all professional.

I love this place! Food is delicious, and genuinely Italian, which is rare. Menu is varied, portions are generous, wine list have a nice selection too. Staff is really friendly and helpful, atmosphere is lovely and Gina is such a warm, amazing hostess! Everyone looked very happy with their experience (we chatted with our table neighbours, who were regulars as well). Instead of the dessert we ordered a cheese platter for two, which was huge!! And delicious😍 I am already planning my next visits, and can't wait! Thank you to all the staff!

Encanto Kitchen never fails to deliver. We were greeted warmly by the waiters who recognised us from previous visits (having dubbed us Charlie's Angels). Service was the right level of attentiveness with recommendations for dishes when we were undecided (lots of lovely things to choose). Huge compliments to the chef/s as the flavours never fail to deliver from starters to deserts! There isn't a dish on the menu that fails (in my opinion). Thanks again and see you next time!

Absolutely amazing! Good portion sizes and even better food. Chef KK’s cooking was exceptional– I especially loved the vegetable burrito. So cheesy, so delicious. Vegetarian friendly, and lovely atmosphere. Service was also good! 10/10 recommend and would come here again ◡̈ especially loved the special flower! 🌹

We reached the table the same evening after we heard about the restaurant. Signs that we were clearly missing those burritos for a few years now. We ordered our favourite dishes and ate to our tummy’s delight. The nachos was spot on and the veg burrito, delectable. The chef was kind enough to adapt the wrap with Mushrooms and halloumi for our special diner too which was received very well. Not to mention the service of the lovely staff and the elegant restaurant ambience. Planning our next visit already.

Cosy, friendly, good food and great service, the staff always greet us as regulars, the menu, wine list and cocktails are great. Prices are ££ but a great selection and location for a nice meal or for a group meal. also to note: it is worth to book ahead in advance to secure a table as it does get quite busy. Enjoy! 😊

The meal we had was very nice & the service was very welcoming. It was quite dark in the restaurant & my friend had to use the torch on her phone to be able to see the vast menu! The music was also loud, so to have a conversation was quite difficult but we still had a lovely evening.

You will have a special experience if you stop by this restaurant. The owner and staff provide you with a menu that your pallete deserves, accompanied with a great selection of music. I personally recommend trying the 'Tagliatelle Roberto', it's my favourite dish and I will be back again asking for more!

The food was nice and delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was my birthday and they sang happy birthday song for me. Thanks.

Ignore the occasional mediocre reviews!!! This place is my go to!! Even though I haven't been there for 9 years (I used to go there for every date night/wedding anniversary dinner because I've never had a dissatisfied time/meal) until last night, it's the one place I always remember and recommend hence why I went with my family and very critical Italian father with absolute assurance that he would love it, and he did. The food is great! Taste fresh and not frozen like some people have commented. For those that say it's not, they're being over picky and are trying to find fault. The price is very reasonable compared to many other restaurants. The atmosphere is fantastic! Malou made my night and she deserves a medal for bringing a smile to everyone's faces. Her service, friendliness and welcoming approach is something every restaurant needs. If the service is slightly slow on the occasion that you go, take it with a pinch of salt and realise that they are busy (for a reason....they are popular). Chill, have another drink and a good time, that's what going out to dinner is all about. If you haven't been here before, I highly recommend it!!! FYI, I have no connection to anyone in this restaurant, I just believe they deserve the praise.

Great pub. I always try to visit when I'm in the area.

Nice pub, but they don’t have Guinness beer. Cider pineapple recommended by the barman was great, thank you for recommendation. Free parking but you have to register your number plate. Clean toilets Overall was ok.

Can’t believe I hadn’t reviewed the Hope. It’s a local institution and was my ‘local’ for several years. When in the area I still make an effort to go. Great range of beers, always something new, regularly have limited or rare releases. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.

This is a cracking little pub. I made the trek down from SW17 to see what the fuss was about and very glad I did. Great selection of ales, staff friendly, really nice laid back ambience where everyone seems to know everyone. PLUS normal prices. If you are looking for a quiet pint(s) with friends or a bit of a beer connoisseur then it should be on your list. Certainly I will be coming down again and recommend others to do the same.

Today La Banca held my baby shower, and what an outstanding job the team did! For a large group of people the timing of the food, the quality and the service was just THE BEST! I want to thank you all for hosting and is by far the best Italian food, can’t thank you all enough for how kind and helpful you were.

Really great place. Food is tasty and the service is excellent. Best restaurant in the area.

Went to La Banca for dinner on Sunday, and we had an amazing experience. Felt very welcomed and the inside atmosphere was very nice. The restaurant is very spacious with excellent ambience. The service was prompt, and food came quickly. We opted for the Sunday menu, which had some brilliant offers, and selected a few dishes from their traditional menu. Everything tasted delicious, and we would go to La Banca again! The waiters were extremely friendly and never rushed our decisions, would recommend to others.

We had a delicious lunch here on a Saturday. The waiter was friendly and offered recommendations on wine which were fantastic. We ordered a mix of the meat seafood and salad dishes and all were delicious! Portions were good and it felt like a fair price overall. Highly recommend! Suggest you reserve a table as it looks to get pretty busy mid afternoon.

Excellent food and friendly atmosphere. Went there to celebrate my friend's 50th birthday. From starters to mains to desserts, all the food was on point for everyone. There was a board with special s of the day which also had fabulous items. Definitely worth checking out if one is in Sutton

We celebrated birthday here in Casa Nostra. The starter with scallop and prawn is really amazing! We enjoyed a lot with the funny staff and their humor! Good vibe for birthday, anniversary and whatever you think important to your life! Highly recommended.

The staff are friendly and warm. One shared with me how to take care of his cuddly teddy when he saw my rabbit. Please remember to see if any daily special. We are so lucky to have mango, avocado with crab and prawns. The fresh sweet mangoes are from their garden! Also, don’t miss their desserts! Thank you for the lovely lunch today xx

🇮🇹🍴 - This Evening I Enjoyed an Absolutely Divine Italian Meal at Casa Nostra..... An Extremely Popular 5 ⭐ Rated Family Owned and Run Italian Restaurant Opposite Sutton Station. This is No Zizzi, This is Proper Authentic Italian Cuisine in the Heart of Sutton. Mouthwatering Homemade Dishes Cooked to Absolutely Heavenly Perfection 😋😋😋. ..... Why Haven't I Been Here Before?! .... I Tried to Visit Last Week but they Were Closed for Post New Year Holiday but hadn't updated Google which Still Showed as Open. Not to Worry I Rang at 6pm Today as I Fancied "Proper Italian" and Although They Were Packed They Managed to Fit Me In for 6.30pm until 8pm. I Turned Up at 6.20pm..... I had Diet Coke as my Drink (No Coca-Cola Zero) with Crispy Whitebait to Start with Garlic Mayonnaise which was Delicious...... Followed by the BEST MOST TASTIEST LASAGNE I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE!! 😋....... Melt In Your Mouth Succulence from the Spoon to My Tummy. It Was Absolutely Divine 😋. No Hard Lasagna Sheet Ready Meal Version Here!! CONFIRMED HOME MADE!! For Dessert I had Chocolate and Mint Ice Cream Bombe Which was Minty Refreshing 😊. I Was Worried about Fitting Everything In Before 8pm but I Was Ahead of Schedule and All Paid Up by 7.50pm ish. I Started by Rushing due to My Anxiety but I Made It. In any case, the couple next to me which arrived after me , finished before I did, so there was no need to panic! The Lot Came to £35.75 Including Service Charge Which I Thought Was Excellent..... It Costs that to eat at Whitbread Bar + Block Steakhouse and A LOT is Pre Prepared Frozen There..... NOT Homemade Authentic Italian Cuisine. Oh and Veal is On the Menu, Both In Breadcrumbs and Without. The Waiter/Manager/Owner Said as Long as Mum Brings her Gluten Free Breadcrumbs they Can Do Veal in Breadcrumbs but Gluten-free! 😊 What An Enjoyable Meal..... I Was Originally Going to Have Risotto but I Think I'll be Back Next Week to Have That...... There's Just TOO MUCH Scrummy Italian Cuisine on the Menu to Choose! One thing's for sure Spaghetti Carbonara, Was a very popular dish this evening as I saw one after the other being brought out from the kitchen, past me! My new favourite Italian..... Must Bring Vitalie, My Italian Support Worker for Lunch Some Time, To see how a native finds it. Although natives run and own the restaurant, so I think he will agree it's the Best in the area, but there's only one way to find out!...... 😀. Until Sometime Very Soon for Risotto..... 😋 - 🍴🇮🇹

Food was good. Lovely tasty naan which was possibly the best I've had in a restaurant. Although the time we went was quiet the service was great, not sure about busy times but won't know till then. Pricing is average around £20 per person depending on drinks of course. Definitely would come back

We used to use Saqui a lot, but switched across to Mohini by the station. After a few disappointing customer experiences with Mohini recently, we gave Saint Martins a try for a Take Away last night after hearing and seeing good reviews of it. Well, it certainly didn’t disappoint and we were really impressed. The 🌶️ Naga Chicken was 💯 on point, with a generous portions, great flavours and the chicken was absolutely perfect and melted in the mouth - very impressed and will be back again - thank you. 👨🏻‍🍳 5 🌟 🍽️ Good portions 💰 Good value 👨🏻‍💻 Easy online ordering 🧼 Clean and tidy inside 🙋🏻‍♂️ Excellent service on arrival 👩🏼‍💻 Brilliant WhatsApp Chat support

An elegant Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 / Indian fine dining. Came with A group of friends and family for a charity dinner was not disappointed at all . The food was authentic Bangladeshi cuisine. The chefs are very experienced and the waiters are very friendly and welcoming. The owners have many years experience in this field hence the smooth running of this establishment. A beautiful gem in the heart of Surrey/ Sutton - will be back with more family and friends

Absolutely amazing eatery in the heart of Carshalton. Attended a New Year’s party and charity lunch and we were blessed with their amazing hospitality, food and service. Well Done, Team

All of the food was presented beautifully. I like that they have pub classics and also a range of other dishes. The desserts we also lovely.

Small pub but nicely decorated and friendly staff. We came on a weekday for lunch just after 12 and it was fairly empty, but filled up just after 1.30pm. We got a small fish and chips, Mac and cheese side, a Guinness, orange juice, a slow cooked lamb shoulder, mini sticky toffee pudding and a lemon Bakewell tart. All in, it came to just over £65 for the two of us. The food was well presented and tasty although the desserts were a tad too sweet for us. We would visit again.

We had our small wedding lunch (24 people) and reception (60 people) in the Gin library. Jo and the team went above and beyond both in the run up to the event and on the day. The room was decorated beautifully, including arranging the flowers we had provided. The food and drinks service was excellent throughout. During the lunch no-one's glass was left empty and the barman knew what everyone was drinking. The reception bar team were friendly and very efficient (despite having to make and serve 33 margaritas, and numerous other cocktails). The food was delicious, as it always is! The tacos (new to the menu) went down particularly well in the evening. A massive thanks for making our big day so special.

A nice pub for Sunday lunch. Came here for lunch, had scotch egg and whitebait for starters, both tasted amazing. The actual Sunday roast was a disappointment (we had better at the sun before), potatoes tasted poached, meat too, and tasted bland. But this may be a one off. In general, good pub I’d recommend a visit after a nice stroll through Morden Hall.
