The Best Restaurants in Farncombe, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Went for New Years Eve and it was great. The food is amazing and so well priced. They called early in the day as we were arriving later in the evening so we could preorder. £75 for mains, starters, sides and a couple of drinks each. Also did their Sunday roast recently and again food was fantastic. Highly recommend.

A fantastic new addition to the area, great staff, fabulous food and good beer. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed not only by the staff, but the pub itself is inviting, light and well set out, it felt large and cosy at the same time. The menu wasn’t massive which is sometimes a positive, and this was definitely one of those occasions, because the items they did have on the menu were done really well. (I must caveat the photos are taken after a few pieces of squid and wings were taken, so the portion sizes look smaller than they were) We had the Korean bbq wings and the Squid to the start. The wings had a good kick to them and the squid came with a lovely chilli jam. For mains 3 of us had Meat burgers and 1 of us had the Veggie burger, none of us were dissatisfied or disappointed. The meat was good well, and the burger was juicy with a nice portion of crispy chips. All in all it was a great pub meal and not to pricey either. The beer selection was good something for everyone, I had my go to Neck oil. We were all really impressed and will definitely be back again soon. This is the first time we’ve been here over the years we’ve lived in the area. I think since we have lived here it’s changed hands 3 times, the last owners made it a bikers pub, we always wanted to go in, but the sign saying bikers only did put us off a little. They soon took that sign down and opened it to the public.

We have tried almost ever pub/restaurant in the area now. The Charterhouse is 100% the best choice for steak! Every time it has been perfect. 👌 The landlord is a legend, the chef is very good and always a friendly welcome/atmosphere (the pub dog is also very funny!). Thank you for all the great meals!

So glad you’re open again! Such a lovely atmosphere and just what I needed to wind down. The staff are so friendly, will definitely be back soon

We needed a night away and randomly chose Godalming, having seen The Star as a highly rated pub that sold good beer and had a nice menu. We reserved a table thanks goodness as it was packed. A really nice atmosphere and the queues at the bar were no problem as the service was quick. An older blind couple sat next to us and the staff there were lovely with them, sitting and reading the menu to help them choose what they wanted, then returning to see how things were and whether they needed a drink. Such a friendly pub we had a great night. And when we were unsure how many of the sharing plates to order we were told that 2 and a dish of the chips might be enough to start with. It was, glad we didn’t order the 4 dishes that we were going to. Would highly recommend the pub, but book in advance if you want a seat.

Beyond expectations. I arrived at the pub with my family and they found me a table even without a reservation. Great music and atmosphere. We ordered a Star Burger each, a generous dish even if the burger alone was a bit dry but well cooked. The price paid is absolutely fair.

Fantastic little spot in Godalming. Was here on the Tuesday for Chip Shop night and the fish and chips were pretty good. Tonight is burger night so expecting good things. Helped by some great cask ales. Available in paddles too. What’s not to love?

The food here is absolutely incredible! I visited on Thursday which is Pizza night and it was delicious. The service was speedy and the staff were attentive and polite. I will definitely be visiting again.

The food was amazing and staff were great, they accommodated to my dietary needs without hesitation(which are not the easiest to accommodate to!). The food tasted great and the service was top notch. Not forgetting this cafe makes the best coffee I’ve ever had and the staff are always happy to help if you’re not sure what to choose from the menu. Great experience 10/10

Adorable cafe with inside and outdoor seating. I saw on the menu they do a pre-book afternoon tea as well! The loose leaf jasmine tea was a bit strong, but the pot was a very nice piece and my avocado toast was the delish. They compensated for our group of 6 and we all paid separately very easily!

Had been meaning to visit for a while but this morning saw my first visit. It will not be my last. Excellent filter coffee and Eggs Benedict. Great friendly service. What a perfect way to start a Tuesday!!

I go to Natters for a filter coffee and a cake every day and have done so for many years. The best ''Guest' filter coffee is precision made at the table, the cakes (my favourite are Tiffins) are Vegan. The coffee and all their cakes are excellent. The young staff are friendly, kind and hard working. When it's very busy there can be a delay but it's worth the wait. The best place for coffee in the area.

An absolutely incredible dining experience. We were welcomed by the most friendly staff, who made us feel right at home and were ready to answer our questions straight from the outset. They had humour and whit to match any good comedian. When it came to deciding, they were fantastic at helping navigate our choices, bringing some more of that humour and whit, giving us an already incredible dining experience before the food even came our way. And when the food did come, it matched everything they hyped it to be (and more!). Incredible flavours, amazingly served, adventurous and creative in not only unique recipes (certainly we've never seen things like this elsewhere) but also in their whole food experience crated by presentation and staff. Basically, go! Get yourself there for lunch, for dinner, or any other food reason, you won't regret it! It is meat haven, burger central, and full of fun and creative flavours and ideas!

Amazing food! Massive portions! Great value for money. Lovely service. Very friendly and helpful. Lots of different areas to sit so feels private and comfortable. Open log fires. Great atmosphere. I had the BBQ sharing platter for 2 people. It could easily have fed 3. Succulent meat. Extremely tasty. Highly recommend!

Service is truly brilliant. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Decor is lovely, cosy and welcoming. However food wasn't as great as we had hoped. Quite overpriced to for what we had. The rice bowl had too many conflicting flavours. The ceaser side was delicious but really just very expensive lettuce with tasty source. Short rib had great flavour and was beautifully smokey but a bit too fatty for our liking. Lovely venue just wish the food had been better

Had Chicken Wings to Start and Pork Belly for Main. Brilliant Food, lovely service and the theme of US in an old English Pub is brilliant. Had a great meal with all the family.

I understand that it’s Spanish fusion but I wished they didn’t put too much of chorizo flavour as my choice of the menu were v limited. I don’t eat pork. So I had gambas for starter and the hot seafood as a main. It was too much of almost the same thing except of course the main was a bigger portion with lobster and fish in it. The staff serving us were friendly and polite. Cosy deco.

First time at Acorn Restaurant, and I wish we could have attend it much sooner! Exceptional food and service. Instead of having a regular practice of starting off the dinner with the starters and the main, we were advised to have a “flight” with the selections of starters. Indeed a valuable advise, and our experience was more than delightful. High quality food, and very reasonably priced for the quality of food that exceeds many respectable businesses in London. We will be coming back to explore the rest of the menu, and will be excited for every upcoming specials. Thank you!

An absolute gem of a restaurant, the food was top notch, super fresh and really varied but with a lovely Spanish flavour running throughout. The seafood options were excellent and I’d highly recommend it for that alone. Not cheap but fairly priced in my opinion for the quality you get. Service was relaxed but attentive and recommendations were readily given, clearly there are a lot of regulars too which is no surprise!

My personal experience of Acorn was fantastic. Went for the catalan bread to start/share which was unusual and interesting... Best described as a cross between a foccacia and a pizza. Main was the sharing hot seafood platter. This wasn't what I had in mind when I think platter. It's more a collection of seafood within a seafood bisque. Naming preconceptions aside it was DELICIOUS. perfectly cooked lobster scallops, monkfish and prawns in a rich seafood bisque bursting with flavour and rich intensity. It was outstanding. Desserts were a catalan version of pain perdu which was very pleasant. The tarte tatin was the better dessert for us though.. Bitter, sticky caramel balanced by the sweet apple heavy top. Served with a tangy and sweet whipped yoghurt. Service was very friendly and efficient. Chef likes talking to the customers which adds a very personal touch. Ambience slightly lacking but less to do with gwthw overall decor and lighting which was nice enough.. But more to do with the fact it was a midweek dinner and the restaurant was relatively empty. Although in my opinion it shouldn't be.. We had a terrific experience and will definitely come back again to try other dishes.

12 of us had our Xmas party here on Thursday evening. As ever the food was delicious and the service was excellent. All the team work together so well and make it all seem so effortless, which it clearly isn’t. We had meals ranging from pizza, pasta calves liver and lamb shoulder and all were cooked to perfection and served all at the same time. Amazing. Highly recommend.

Anniversary dinner for my wife & I with three friends. Everything was first class. From the ultra simple reservation (quick phone call, very efficient & lovely lady), to the service & food it was wonderful. We had 2 x buratta as a sharing starter then everyone's main dish was perfect taste & presentation. Really friendly non intrusive staff & a fair price with a free Limocello! Will certainly go back again.

A beautiful little restaurant with fantastic food and a very caring host. We planned to go for a small lunch for 2 and ended up having a full blown 3 course meal with drinks. It was all absolutely beautiful food, the plates were left clean! It was very affordable. The owner was so very kind and welcoming. He was polite, professional and made a fantastic coffee. I can't recommend enough. Wonderful place and we will be back to pig out again!

Had a fabulous lunch here on Saturday Recommend the tagliatelle with beef strips. Absolutely delicious Friendly quick service Reasonably priced

A gem of a restaurant, found it by chance but what a find it was. The staff are delightfully friendly and helpful, the menu contains a good selection of dishes and the restaurant itself has a nice quiet charm. Its location near the Farncombe train station is perfect if you are traveling and need something to eat, or are just generally in the area. Definitely check it out!

We visited this restaurant with friends last night and everything about our evening was faultless. The staff were welcoming, attentive and precise in every detail. The food was exceptional - fresh, colourful, beautifully seasoned, expertly cooked and not in the least oily as some Indian dishes can be. We all ate from the Tandoori section of the menu, chose a variety of sides and finished with coffee. My brandy was served in a warm and pleasing glass which made for heavenly sipping! We will return often I predict!

Delicious food, excellent service and lovely ambiance. Wonderful for small or large group meals. Amazing place to bring your friends and loved ones. We had a great time here! Would definitely come back again. ☺️

Really exceptional Indian Restaurant - hidden gem! Menu is varied and food is excellent...and very reasonably priced. Service is fast, friendly and attentive. We can't wait to come back!

Delicious Thai food! The service elevated the experience even more, the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful and elegant and finally the food is of the highest quality! I usually like my food spicy and they were happy to accommodate. I recommend The Greedy Elephant Special Fried Rice - will definitely come back 😊

Lovely restaurant with excellent decoration. Always busy, even on a Monday night.. so make sure you book. Food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was polite and he had the best customer service I've seen for a while.

This was our second visit to the Greedy Elephant and once again the food was amazing. Last night’s one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever eaten. The flavours were intoxicating! Highly recommend the seafood sizzling platter, mixed vegetables in oyster sauce and the beef and cashew nuts. The service was also impeccable, the staff a delight, knowledgeable and very very professional. Can’t recommend highly enough and we can’t wait to return!

Very cosy and welcoming setting, we booked for a large group and staff was very nice (the wait was a bit long but we weren’t in any hurry) I recommend the steak pies with homemade crust 🥧

Brilliant meal, had eaten here before Christmas and were given an envelope for either 25%, 50% or 100% off the bill upon returning in Jan or Feb, brilliant idea and we got 25% off, great food in very good portion sizes. Will be back soon.

Beautiful venue, excellent food and service. We are definitely going back. It's a bit of a drive for us but worth it. Service and everything as good as the first and previous times. Manager, waiters and waitresses are excellent people.

Went on Sunday with my brother. June does the best Sunday roast carvery around, delicious and good value.

Very well run and friendly staff, thoroughly recommend for a tasty Sunday dinner. Best to book in advance because it's very popular.

June is a superb hostess. She is friendly, efficient and serves the best food. We are so grateful for all her help in making our recent event at The White Hart such a success.

Had my daughters hand night there on the 11th of November absolutely amazing staff and made it a brilliant night. Would highly recommend to anyone. Xx
