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

Our server Dawid was amazing! I have severe food allergies and they were attentive and nice. It was a good atmosphere where my husband and I had a lovely date night. Definitely coming back and would recommend to others. The calamari was my favourite!

Zizzi’s is back in Woking & I’m so happy it is! We had the pleasure of being served by Dave and David who were super helpful with my nut allergy and also very knowledgeable about the menu. We took the set menu which was so yummy we even had to box our desserts as we didn’t want to miss out on anything! The food was so flavourful and not your usual Italian chain at all. The strawberry daiquiri was also delicious and it took all my restraint to not have a second! The atmosphere at the restaurant was fun vibes and was perfect for all as there were single tables, couples and families so perfect for everyone! Can’t wait to come back and also gained a take away option for when need a yummy option and don’t want to cook!

We really enjoyed our trip to Zizzi's. The service was excellent, thanks to our waiter Will who was friendly and attentive. He was careful with dietary requirements too which is always a relief. The food was delicious. We ordered from both festive and normal menus and it was excellent. We will be back!

The time I’m giving this review, I’ve been to Zizi Woking twice in less than a week. The food is delicious, the vibe is amazing, the staffs are trainer well, they are friendly, very welcoming & they pay attention to everything you said. I want to give a massive shout out to Will! He was our waiter on both of our visits & he made us feel so taken care of. On our first visit, it was for a friend’s birthday & all I did was to tell Will, “oh it’s her birthday today, that’s why she’s acting like a boss” because my friend did acted bossy (in a funny way). I didn’t asked or request anything & when the time for dessert came, Will have served my friend’s dessert with Happy Birthday written on her plate & he & other staffs sang birthday song. It was so beautiful & such a lovely surprise. Top notch service! Well done, Will.

We booked for dinner at 7.30pm and had a wonderful greeting as we were taken to a perfect table. We ordered a Watermelon Daiquiri (so good I had a second!) and a Cobra to drink along with a few starters. The food was AMAZING! So tasty beautifully presented throughout, and moreish as well as very good portion sizes. The mains were just beautiful and again so tasty and portion sizes very good. We brought what we couldn’t finish home as it would have been a crime to leave it as it was that good!! The waiting staff were perfect, never too much but always there when needed & helped us pick the right things for us as well as giving us a break after our starters so we could enjoy our mains fully. I was also really impressed as the staff triple checked there were no nuts for me with my allergy in the dishes I was having which was really reassuring for me. I can’t wait to come back and am excited to change our normal take away to Versova as the chicken tikka and garlic naan was the best I’ve ever had!! The photos I took do not do this food justice! If you are in the Woking area book in and go as you will not be disappointed!

Absolutely incredible experience! Must go to! Delicious food, big compliments to the chef! Our server was Param - very kind, passionate, and attentive! Atmosphere was romantic, everyone was seated with tables in between so it was cosy yet spacious. Ordered - lamp chops, chicken lollipop, chow pati chaat, and paani puri for starters with butter chicken for mains. We loved the lamb chops so much we ordered more after the mains and ordered some more food for the day after...

Amazing service, sincere and welcoming smiles, and lots of attention from the staff. Food is different from most Indian restaurants - by the way it is prepared and presented. Menu is not too big, which is great - means easier to ensure quality of ingredients, less wastage. Was welcomed with free amuse-bouche, same with deserts for me and my partner. Even though I could pay for both next time as both really tasty. Great addition to Woking. Definitely, I will be back.

Our meal at Versova surpassed all expectations! I’d read amazing reviews and followed the news of the restaurant opening so was very excited to come here for my anniversary celebration. The service was exemplary- very friendly and hospitable while also not rushing us through. We went for most of the recommended dishes and were so pleased that we did! All food was expertly and thoughtfully prepared and we savoured all of it - lots of depth of flavour and very fresh. I couldn’t fault a thing and can only praise the excellent food and service! I can’t wait to return to try more of the menu - would highly recommend!!!

Great atmosphere! Shout to to Charlie who served my family :) Such a kind, caring and attentive waiter. BEST service in a pub I have ever experienced. The food was incredible and it has a lovely atmosphere. We hope to be served by Charlie again, such a great server!

Staff very friendly and food was good, three cheese 🍕 ordered, only one Ale on but to be honest it was nice. Would of been nice to have had a choice. Only bad thing I could think of is that the place itself is tired, the men's toilet wasn't clean, soap dispenser not attached to the wall. And could to with a good paint. Such a shame as last time I was here working here couple of years back it was immaculate. Time for a spruce up I reckon.

We just had a fabulous sunday lunch. A really friendly place that was very accommodating to our dietary needs. They substituted oil for butter and instrad of Potatoes gave me extra veg as on Atkins. This was all organised by our super friendly and helpful waitress, Evie, who couldn't do enough for us! I was in Hakkassan in Mayfair last night and the price was 4 times this, and the service was better here! The seabass was crispy and tasty and the beef was yummy and wholesome on a grey day.

We celebrated our Twins Sacrament of Confirmation and Harry and Alice were amazing. Super attentive to my guest requests and they both made the day enjoyable with no stress. We selected 10 items from the pre set menu and all of the food distributed was delicious 😋. Even our guests made comments to advise that all of the food outstanding. Harry took care of us from when I made the booking, up until the end of the event. Alice took care of the guests requests on the day and they both checked in to ensure that we were OK with everything. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. You made the day super enjoyable.

Table of 6 on a 22nd Dec restaurant 2/3rds full food was perfect. From start to finish, staff were awesome .

Pre- theatre meal last Saturday. Very, very busy, so admittedly not a quick service. But we were looked after throughout. Warm and friendly staff. Authentic flavoursome food. We would definitely return. We love to support independent restaurants.

This is an amazing restaurant, we are vegetarian and the kids menu didn’t had an option but the lovely lady added a pizza for the little one. The aubergine was delicious and the Greek salad was authentic.

We came here for Sunday roast and it was fabulous! The food was all delicious, fresh and cooked to perfection. One of us had the chicken roast, one of us had the lamb roast and the other had to the beef roast. They were all great. Then we had Sticky Toffee Pudding, Apple Crumble and Caramelised Banana Split for dessert and they were all great too. The service was very good, staff were all very friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back again!

The food we had here was delicious and the portion sizes were very good! We ate some nibbles and then some mains. I would highly recommend this pub. The service was excellent - unfortunately, a member of my family had a medical emergency at the end of our meal and the staff dealt with the situation extremely quickly, considerately and professionally. My family and I are very grateful for their help.

Very nice Pub, with excellent Sunday roasts. Friendly staff and management and good bar service. There are plenty of parking spaces available. A nice place for the whole family.

Had a great experience at this lovely pub today. Came here with a friend for some food before a football match. Enjoyed a delicious 2 course lunch. The fish and chips for the main course was the best I've ever eaten. Really polite and friendly service from all the staff, especially Holly and Jamie. It was suggested by Jamie to leave the car in the car park of the pub and walk to the stadium as it was only just over a mile away. Great advice and a lovely gesture, saving a lot of hassle. I even enjoyed a pot of tea at the bar after the game before the drive home. The hospitality and food quality in this pub was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend the Bird in Hand to anyone. Thank you very much, hope to be back sometime.

A great choice if you are after authentic Italian. The food was freshly prepared and hot. The service was well paced and considerate. The atmosphere was just right. 5 of us were there for 3 hours and nothing was too much trouble. Reccomended.

Very authentic Italian restaurant. Amazing food and atmosphere with a lake side view. Has seatings indoors and outdoor with the warmth of Italian music and light. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

We held a birthday party with 40 people here recently. From the owners to the wait staff, they were all fabulous Helpful and efficient. Patient in waiting for all of our guests to take their time between courses. Managed to serve out prosecco to all guests on arrival. They cut and serve our cake at the end! A lovely evening was had by all of us. Great venue, with multiple areas to reserve,or just go there for a meal anytime. Thank you Salvo and team!

A lovely place to dine. The restaurant is sitting right in the heart of St Johns with a large parking space. Plenty of space inside and outside. The food was fabulous. I especially loved the Mussels. Wife loved the pizza. Plenty of wine to choose from. Like any other authentic Italian places, it is run by italians in and out. As an Indian, I had trouble pronouncing some names, but the lovely lady helped me with the menu. We also had the Tiramisu. One of the creamiest Tiramisu ever I had in the UK. All in all, a wonderful place and will definitely visit again.

We visited Bacaro and met Adam the owner as we had a 40th birthday coming up and wanted to book the venue for a party. He kindly facilitated our needs and made the planning very easy. Food on the night freshly cooked and tasted wonderful. Service was fantastic and very friendly with a warm atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough for a party, or to try the food and hospitality for a meal out.

This was our second visit to Bacaro. Food is consistently good. We had sausage pasta and seafood pasta this time and both were delicious. Beware, portions are quite generous :)

We had a lovely meal in Bacaro prior to our theatre show. We had the pre theatre set menu which had a good and varied selection on it. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was tasty and reasonably priced and the atmosphere was vibrant on a busy Saturday night.

Absolutely gorgeous meal here tonight. Mussels were GORGEOUS. Lovely prawns for main and delicious sausage and ricotta pasta. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I am gluten intolerant and they were incredibly helpful explaining what was safe on the menu, and the gluten free pasta was cooked beautifully. Will definitely be back.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening. The food, service and ambiance is excellent. Thank you so much for giving us such an amazing experience

Wow, just wow. The food is so tasty, amazing presentation, big portions. Outstanding service with such attentive, friendly staff, great with kids too. Beautiful decor and felt like such a treat. We’ll definitely be back.

What a fantastic find for pre theatre cocktails and food. The cocktails at Mokka are absolutely superb. The food was delicious with a Mediterranean menu on offer. The waiting staff are extremely welcoming and attentive. A nice touch from the management giving us an after meal drink aswell. I highly recommend Mokka if you are ever in Woking.

Have been here twice now and had a very positive experience. You get a good size portion, I really like the fact you get a fresh side salad and rice/chips with every main course. Everything was tasty and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and gave us a free coffee when they forgot the one we ordered.

Very nice food, very reasonable portions for the prices as well. Decent size car park, lovely polite staff and a pleasant atmosphere made it a very enjoyable evening. Thanks to all the staff at the Red Lion for looking after us.

Dinner with friends - walked in and the pub was packed after the Rugby! The staff were run off their feet but they were amazing - fantastic service, delicious food and good wine! Really recommend this lovely pub and it’s a credit to all who work there. We’ll be back very soon!

I found this place whilst traveling as my Premier Inn restaurant was closed. They were so accommodating even though they were very busy. The food was delicious and the interior of the restaurant and the atmosphere were just beautiful. The prices were reasonable too. I would absolutely visit again if I was in the area. Thank you for saving my evening!

Met a friend here today and had a delightful lunch. We shared a starter, had a main course each plus coffee and bite size rocky road. Everything was presented beautifully and the staff were efficient and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very cute lounge! First time visiting Woking and this place caught our attention as it was busy and had a wonderful summer vibe. Waiters and waitresses were great, attentive and quick. Everything about this place was good, but gave four stars as it was pretty expensive for what we ordered. It’s more justifiable due to the service that was provided. We ordered two drinks (non alcoholic), 3 small tapas and two sides came to almost £40. We will go to another place next time we visit.

Offers a delightful dining experience with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is quirky and vibrant, giving the place a unique charm that makes it perfect for casual meet-ups or a relaxed meal out. The menu is impressively diverse, catering to all tastes with plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. I particularly enjoyed the all-day brunch selection, and the tapas dishes were a highlight – full of flavour and well-presented. The drinks menu is also extensive, with a good range of cocktails, beers, and non-alcoholic options. Service was friendly and attentive, although it was quite busy during my visit, so there was a bit of a wait for food. However, the staff were apologetic and made sure we were comfortable. One thing I have noticed is that it can be quite hit and miss with staffing in terms of attentiveness and demeanor. Overall, Marciano Lounge is a great spot in Woking for a laid-back meal or drinks with friends. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of food and the inviting atmosphere make it worth while.

Really good food, and they have everything in the menu - every type of cuisine 😊

Had a fantastic evening celebrating my birthday with 9 friends. What a great place for a small party. Table was set up when we arrived and it was so easy to order food and drinks as and when anyone wanted. The staff were so good and the atmosphere was really buzzing. You must try it!
