“Barbara is a superb host for this very unique venture. Second Helpings is a personal restaurant for a small group in a beautiful dining room in Barbara's home in Lingfield. She makes you feel like a friend not a client. It is an ideal way to bring friends together without having to cook or to have a mess in your house! Or for a business, a Christmas party, whatever. You can choose the menu and the cooking and presentation is fantastic. In the summer the garden will be heavenly. Highly recommended.”

I have been visiting Barbara's for years to keep in touch with former colleagues. The food has always been wonderful with new surprises each year and the garden setting is just beautiful. A highlight each year is taking a look around the well maintained country garden as well as of course being welcomed by Barbara as a brilliant host. Can't wait to come again next year!

Booked with a group of girl friends in our early 30s for lunch. Lovely meal, setting and hosts! Had never done anything like this before so was a new experienced but we loved it so much have booked again already. Garden is stunning and we were lucky with the weather so able to eat outside to really enjoy the setting. Many thanks and look forward to the next time

A Triumph!! They exclaimed. Now let me tell you a story!! As part of a monthly Gentlemen's Lunch Club we go all over from The City to the South coast looking for great food and good wine. I happened upon Second Helpings. What & who were they? After a visit to Barbara to discuss setting up such a lunch that aimed high on menu and food quality we bagged a date. On the day frankly nothing was too much trouble and the 10 of us sat down for what turned out to be a lunch cooked & served to PERFECTION. You will see from our menu we indulged a bit - Barbara and her team delivered with ease. Take your own wine (small corkage charge) Champagne on the terrace, four stunning courses and my goodness an extra few bottles of wine. We have not been elsewhere to match the dedication to fine cooking and we all, to a man, recommend Second Helpings. All this sounds expensive- well it's not but it's really 5 Star value for money. You will never be disappointed. Lots of ladies hold private lunches, other Folk sit in the long and beautiful garden for a 5 stars tea. Go and see for yourself - book a chat over coffee, agree a menu, bag a date, organise you buddies, slip on a jacket and indulge. We have already booked a return visit luncheon !!! Thank you team for everything.

We had the most wonderful celebration with Barbara at Second Helpings for my friend's baby shower. Barbara went above and beyond to cater to each guest and give us a really special afternoon. The food we had for afternoon tea was so delicious, with amazing quiches and beautiful cakes. The venue was so perfect too and wonderful having an exclusive space just for us all. We can't thank Barbara enough for making it such a special day and we'll definitely be going back for a summer picnic in the garden!

“We had a meal here and the food was amazing! So nice, and I have to say exceeded my expectations by a long way. The starters were beautiful and the main course was divine! I would also like to say that we had Bella and Ella serve us, and they were amazing. Both girls went above and beyond and made our whole experience even better. They had great knowledge of the dishes and even recommended the main. They were polite, professional, and really attentive. Thank you, girls, and we shall come back to eat again and try the other dishes for sure. Visited again with family, and again, Bella served us, and she was so polite and helpful. The food was amazing and again so impressed with everything. I think this will now be the go-to place on special occasions for us as it is so good. Thank you all again.”

“The waiter did tell us beforehand that the food was very authentic and there wasn’t any sugar etc however I booked a Korma expecting it to be mild however it tasted spicy which I’m sure as many people are aware of, in UK Indian restaurants Kormas are one of the only non-spicy curries, with creamy textures and sweet flavours. The waiter did kindly offer to remake it or give me some extra cream so the added cream made it more enjoyable for me! Came as a bit of a shock to me. But very good for spice lovers! The roti was flavoursome and thick.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. My family and I celebrated Christmas lunch here, and everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly accommodating, the food was exceptional, and the portion sizes were generous. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect setting for our gathering. With a party of 18, we were all thoroughly impressed by the outstanding service. A big thank you to the entire team for working so hard on Christmas Day. We will definitely be back!”

“I come to Lingfield once or twice a year. I love coming here because it is such a quiet, quintessential English village. I always top it off by a visit to Tarana , which offers both Indian and Thai cuisine. Always a very pleasant experience.”

The food was amazing , fresh ingredients, I had beef roast, it was perfectly done and my children had a chicken roast which was amazing too. Cozy and a homely feel! Micheal and Julia and the team were so friendly and made the entire afternoon as special as it was meant to be. Will definitely be back!”
