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

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!

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.

Really yummy food, meat and fish dishes we had were cooked to perfection! Juicy prawns, lollipop chicken and lamb chops. The decor is fabulous too. Only small opinions on the rest: Music could have been a little louder as could hear the table next to us as the tables are quite close to each other. Candles were being blown out after guests left making the room smell of burning, could possibly use a candle snuffer to reduce that. Nice that they use real candles though. For some reason weren't given a dessert menu after our mains, not sure if they have desserts or not. It was not a super busy evening so maybe they left us to enjoy and take our time and didn't feel rushed, which was a positive. Lovely evening overall and can't wait to try different dishes next time!

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...

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!

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 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!

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!

My son and I had a really great lunch here before going to the theatre. He insisted on getting a giant burger instead of the kid's menu burger. Knowing it was a double patty, I came up with a plan to split it in half and grab a mezze platter to share. I have to say the burger was amazing! Great quality ingredients, delicious flavours, and a monster of a meal. The mezze platter was like a cold tapas selection, with excellent hummus, tasty stuffed vine leaves, and flavourful tabbouleh. Also loved the chilli salsa, I'm not sure the exact name but it was one mega flavour. Everything tasted fresh, and the bread was great for scooping it all up. We were really surprised by how good the food was, especially for the price. The staff were friendly too, made us feel welcome even with my son's non stop conversation. Overall, a great find! We will honestly be returning with the rest of the family next.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Found by chance and really glad we did. Went at 5.30 on a Sat and it was pretty quiet, it did get busier. We have the sharing plate to start, so yummy and really big. Definitely too big for just 2 people. The bread & beetroot were particularly good. Pork for main which nice & the other had the Chicken salad which was really good.

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

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 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!

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.

I've been 3 times now and it's been brilliant each time! The food is fabulous, the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are excellent 👍 This has become my new favourite place to go for special occasions.

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.

Food looked amazing, although we only stopped by for a drink, I would consider coming back to eat. Atmosphere was great and service was fantastic, particularly John behind the bar. Love that you can see them cooking in the kitchen and decor was fab! Only downside was the cost, £15 for a bottle of beer and white wine spritz 😬. Pint and white wine spritz was £13.50

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.

The outside area is really nice. Was with my family. The roast beef was really nice, and so was the seafood platter. However, my burger was very raw.

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.

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.

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.

We made a reservation on the day for a Friday evening and had no problems getting a table for 2. We were seated quickly and our orders were taken promptly but we didn’t feel rushed. Lots of choice for food and it was delicious. We really liked the atmosphere and would gladly come back with friends or family

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

We went there once or twice per years , we had breakfast, lunch and dinner there , staff really friendly, service is always spot on and quick, cocktails is superb and food is supper delicious , would recommend and would definitely go back there again in the near future.
