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

I had been waiting to come here for months and it did not disappoint. You are greeted with such a warm welcome. It is such a beautiful place with a lovely, warm atmosphere. Big thanks to both Ben and Lornette. The food was incredible, I had never been to a place like it or eaten food like it before. It was considered, delicious and refined food. Lornette is so friendly and professional at the same time, she has it down to such a fine art. Service and food was impeccable. I absolutely cannot wait to book to come again.

Amazing experience (if you can get a table!). We were lucky enough to be at the chef's table and were able to watch Ben at work as well as ask him all sorts of questions as he worked. The food was amazing, but actually it was an overall immersive experience that was so much more - the food, the environment, the atmosphere and the hosts. We're hoping to book again sometime soon, but will have to set an alarm - it's like trying to get Oasis tickets when they're released!

Recently, myself and two friends had the pleasure of dining at Maison. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and at home by the very friendly hosts. The menu tasting was a great way to experience the chef's skills and food flare. Maison had to offer. We were spoiled with a variety of delicious dishes that were cooked to perfection. The flavours were incredible and the presentation was exquisite. The highlight of the meal was the chicken. It was cooked to perfection and was the best we had ever had. The desserts were also a highlight, with a range of flavours, colours and delightful surprises. I have Coeliac (gluten free), and the chef was more than happy to accommodate my dietary requirements. He even went above and beyond, making "the best" gluten free bread just for me. This was a really nice touch and made me feel very special. Overall, our experience at Maison was fantastic. The food was outstanding and the hosts were very friendly. The price was also worth it for the quality of the food and service we received. I would highly recommend Maison to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you again and look forward to dining with you again in the coming months. Top tip - book as soon as dates are released. Update 5 September 2024. Still just as amazing and every aspect was perfect.

What a truly incredible dining experience we had. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, all other staff was so professional and just exceptional. The interior was incredible, honestly anyone who hasn't been should 100% go and visit this restaurant where the atmosphere is so iconic. Food vise - amazing,incredible flavours. Had octopus for starter,steak for main and pistachio tiramisu for dessert, 20/10. Could not fault this restaurant.

A group of us were led upstairs to dine. Busts and reliefs of Greek deitys overlooked us. So too, did lots of Van Gogh paintings. All in all, it felt more like a trip to the British museum, than a restaurant. However, the mainly Hellenistic decor and warm lighting, did set a wonderful ambience for our meal. The cocktails are superbly crafted and highly recommended. The Pina colada for example, was really rich and creamy. They also serve Efts beer, albeit in an Asahi glass. The walnut, honey goats cheese starter was standout incredible and fit for the Gods, should the decor suddenly come to life(like it does in, 'Night of the museum'). Three of us had scallops and we unanimously agreed that they were all rather small, colourless and criminally overdone. Shame on you chef. Onto the grills because that's what they should do best here in this Mediterranean themed joint. The lamb rump is good, the chops reasonable but the chicken, although tasty, was a little dry. My partner opted for our favourite dish, moussaka but it was over seasoned and we both thought that we could taste cumin rather than cinnamon. Nethertheless, it was a poor effort. Overall, I would go out of my way to enjoy the cocktails here but wouldn't rush back for the food.

Our favorite pub stop on our UK visit. The cod and chips was excellent. Their tartare sauce was perfection with a touch of dill. Service was fabulous.

SUPERB VEGAN SUNDAY ROAST!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful foursome experience - the chef knows his flavours! Friendly and accommodating staff and lovely vibe. Highly recommend!

Came here after booking our wedding venue down the road. Saw the steak sandwich and didn’t hesitate and my god, it was unbelievable. Staff are very friendly and I’d 10/10 recommend, food or drink 🍻

Always a great evening, not even to mention the live music scene with ongoing Tuesday open mic and weekend gigs. 🎸 We got seated at a lively time and were well looked after by the team. Kitchen stacked and delivered great burgers. Great vibes all round. Thanks kitchen, Nathan, Jack & Else! 👍🏻

Lovely meal with the family. We booked the rear family room and so were able to be as noisy as we liked! Great service, great choice of food. Car parking was an issue, but we managed to find a bit of free road to abandon the car.

I went to The Bluebell for my auntie's birthday celebrations in mid November. Before we arrived, I read their menu and decided I would have the chicken after changing my mind from choosing roast beef. Overall, I was happy with my dish; the potatoes I have to say were interesting, I don't think I've tasted a potato like that before (a good and bad thing). The service was absolutely wonderful and they wrote 'Happy Birthday' on my aunt's plate when dessert arrived; I couldn't have been more satisfied by their service!

What a superb little pub. We stopped over whilst on a New Years country drive, and we all agreed we would make a point of driving back to this particular pub. Service was on point, food delicious and atmosphere gave the country cozy vibe we were after. They are dog friendly and made a plan for us even though they appeared fully booked when we came in. We can highly recommend the beef stroganoff, eggs and gammon and the salmon dishes. Dessert was generous, with a wonderful apple crumbles and sticky toffee had at table.

Amazing Sunday roast dinner served by the friendly and attentive waiter Dhruv. The vegetables and cauliflower cheese were cooked deliciously and complimented the selection of beef, pork and chicken. Nothing was too much trouble even when extra gravy and Yorkshire puddings were requested. We were left so full but the cheese board looked so appetising that they offered to make us a smaller version which was just enough to share with the others. The views of the pond from the restaurant were great, we will definitely be visiting again!

Very nice staff, Anton from the restaurant and also the person behind te bar. They make you feel welcome. Food was very tasteful and the surroundings are breathtaking.

Absolutely fabulous!! Breakfast with a stunning view! Anton and Mathew were so lovely and so attentive. Here for 2 nights from Australia. Wish we were staying here longer! Highly recommend! We'll be back! Thank you!

I recently visited The Spotted Cow Pub in Farnham, and despite it being a bit of a journey, it was absolutely worth it. The interior is charming and cozy, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. I ordered the chicken and chorizo skewers, which were accompanied by grilled vegetables and a refreshing minty sauce. The skewers were flavourful, and the combination with the vegetables and sauce was delightful. The food was delicious, the ambiance was great, and I will definitely be returning to The Spotted Cow. It’s a hidden gem that’s well worth the visit.

Best restaurant I have been to in Surrey for many years. everything was beyond top standard. All our meal choices were superb and we are already planning for a revisit to try the Sunday roast or and steak. Such a chilled relaxing atmosphere, staff very pleasant and attentive. couldn’t ask for more, plus the grounds are beautiful inside and out. So glad I came across this hidden gem I can’t wait to return.

We have been to Spotted Cow on a few ocassions now. We had a range of food for sunday including sunday roast, pizzas and other varieties. Sunday roast beef was good. It was nicely layered but the potatoes were a bit dry so needed gravy, yorkshire pudding was perfect. Pizzas looked from a stone oven so i shall definitely be trying those. Desserts were great. The cheesecake and sticky toffee both looked and tasted amazing. Will be back.

Nice pub with the great location. We went there for Sunday Roast, the portion was good size, beef was done very well, potatoes were a bit dry but as they gave us more gravy it tasted very good. Pub is quite small but they have conservatory and also lots of sits available outside if the weather is good.

We had plans to eat somewhere else, but something unexpected happened, and we landed at Heaven's Kitchen. Talk about good fortune! Right as we stepped through the door warm grins and top-notch service met us. The team was super friendly, sharp, and hospitable, which made us feel right at home. The meals were out of this world. Each plate was a flavor explosion and a feast for the eyes. They played some tunes, and it set a nice vibe—quiet enough so our chat kept flowing. Even though they ran out of a dish I wanted, the team made a big effort to hook me up with an tasty plan B. We loved the place, like , and guess what? We’ve lined up two more dinners at Heaven's Kitchen. Kid you not, it's our top pick for eats now. Gotta hand it to 'em, a solid 11/10.

Lovely food, presentation was good. My daughter's steak wasn't cooked enough for her. But the sauce was delicious. The steak yorkie was absolutely amazing. The beef was tender, and the sauce flavoursome. Now, I am fussy about Mac n Cheese, but this one was really good. My daughter said her sauce made her feel like she was at home in pj's having a Sunday roast.

The food is delicious and the manager is friendly. He answered our question and explained the food very well 👏🏻 we loved the place 🥰🫶🏻💯

Had a nice little Sunday roast. The vegetarian option was really good which most pubs don’t focus on. We enjoyed our pork Sunday roast as well with generous portions. My mate had the curry and said it was great. Super friendly staff so what’s not to like?

Really friendly and helpful staff, very accommodating and outgoing! The Venue itself is warm and snug on the interior with a comfortable outside seating area that is covered for all seasons as well as gazebo areas to sit as well! The food was lovely, bit of a diverse menu so you’re bound to find something you enjoy! I personally had the Taco Salad Bowl w/Extra Chicken which was delicious with a side of Focaccia Bread w/Oil and Balsamic; I’m not usually one to order something like that but it worked a treat and was very filling and fragrant. Great overall atmosphere, family friendly pub with good food. Would definitely recommend !

Beautiful pub tucked out of the way along bat and ball lane. Dog friendly, they even had a jar of treats on the bar. I'm glad we booked because it started to get very busy with lots of dog walkers and ramblers. We had Sunday roast. All opted for the rather expensive beef. It arrived very well presented but not very generous portions. Beef was quite tough and chewy and we ended up giving quite a lot to the dog,so she loved it! Red cabbage, carrot, broccoli, Yorkshire pudding were all good and the roast potatoes were particularly nice. Unfortunately, we all had one very large, extremely hard parsnip that was horrible. I would happily eat parsnips that were so charred and burnt that you could also use them to etch a charcoal painting. However, underdone parsnips have no place on my roast dinner. The manager gave us some smaller better cooked ones after we simply had to say something. Overall, a warm, friendly pub with efficient service and great atmosphere but for the price, the roast is a long way off.

Followed reviews and found the pub, would never have found it through passing! Lovely little pub with fab beer. Lads behind the bar were lovely and friendly. Dogs welcome and food was really nice too. Caesar salad fab and the burger very tasty but would have welcomed a slaw or relish to compliment.

Magnificent Sunday lunch. Never seen so much beautifully rare roast beef on a plate, with all the trimmings and a giant portion of cauliflower cheese on the side. Extra gravy and horseradish ordered and brought in seconds. Best pub in the area by a mile.

Whoever this Caroline weeks lady is (who left the previous 1 star review) may have reviewed the wrong pub. The staff here are always friendly and helpful—maybe she was just being a ****. To quote her 2023 review, “resonating the same energy,” I think this perfectly sums up that if you’re friendly to bar staff (or any human, really), they’ll be friendly back. And if you are going to say that it is a “truly lovely pub with lovely food and a great large beer garden” why leave a 1-star review that hurts a small business, just because someone mirrored your own rudeness? Anyway, less of my personal philosophy on how to be polite to people… Great pub, great food, great staff—5/5

Came here after a walk in Frensham country park. The main reason was they are doggy friendly and for good Google reviews. We weren’t very hungry so had some small plates to share. They were really tasty especially the crostini with chorizo, fig, goats curd and honey on top. Oh my lord, it’s so delicious and I’m still thinking about. I might need to visit again just for this.

Sunday in November 2024 - We knew it would be busy as we couldn't get a table until 14.45. It was heaving. When I went to sit down at my place, I noticed the table hadn't been cleaned very well. I pointed this out and someone hurriedly wiped a cloth over most of the spillage, probably gravy. Later, when I picked up my napkin, it had stuck to the table on another dirty spot. For these reasons, I was going to rate 3 stars but the food was very good so I rated 4 stars. A previous comment included a pic of one slice of roast beef. My wife ordered that and her food portion was ample, as were everyone's - no complaints there. The servers were polite and friendly but at times we had a long wait. This was especially true of our puddings so I asked for the bill when they were brought over. We were four adults and one 3-year-old and our lunch took 2 and 3/4 hours which is rather a long time, especially for a small child.

Lovely family friendly place, amazing outside space for the kids (dog friendly). Choice of full menu food and outside menu. Couldn’t ask for more, we will definitely be back!
