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

We have driven past The Seven Stars a few times on our way to Ripley and we finally headed over for a Friday night meal - and we loved it! Super warm and cosy atmosphere with a happy greeting as we entered. All the staff were really attentive and friendly, and the food was LUSH! Generous portions and cooked perfectly - we just need to eat less during the day to squeeze in a dessert next time as they sounded delicious - we have a new favourite local pub to visit and a menu that has so many options to keep us going back :) thanks for a lovely evening team Seven Stars !

Came here for lunch with my Mrs and have to say it’s one of the best roast dinners around by far! Best I’ve had in a while. We were served by a lovely young man named Christian and the service was second to none too if the food alone wasn’t great enough. I would highly recommend the seven stars to anyone looking for a nice spot of lunch.

Delicious Sunday roast! You can have a full portion or a small plate - you can choose your roast or have a mixed roast. All the trimmings with lashings of gravy. Absolutely mouth watering good!!!! Staff incredible too

We tried the seven stars for breakfast this morning and it’s the best one we have had out! Sausages and bacon were delicious - everything was and some of our friends had the Avocado and poached eggs on toast and said it was excellent. We usually come for Sunday lunch but LOVED our breakfast and will be returning! Thanks to the staff too - always so friendly!

We found this place thanks to Google map reviews so I am returning the favour by adding a review. As others have said, the decor is dated but the food is delicious and the service quality is top notch. I loved the dessert trolley. Our waiter Mark was excellent. I will definitely be returning and will bring friends and family.

Excellent on every level. Food was amazing, the service was fun but unobtrusive and the building is amazing and seems much older than 1890 when it was (apparently built). The Beef Wellington is amazing and my whole group all enjoyed their meals. The price is according to the quality.

My partner and I had such a wonderful experience. The food was incredible, extremely accommodating if you need to change something from your choice of food. Service was 10/10 and the waiters have a great sense of humour! Perfect, quaint little spot! We will be returning :)

First time visiting after wanting to for years! Really enjoyed our meal. Great, friendly service and food. Really liked the extensive menu and especially the dessert trolley! Looking forward to returning.

Absolutely outstanding. Started with a couple of samosas followed by a lamb jalfrazi. Washed down with a couple of Cobras. Staff are exceptional.

3rd time eating here. The staff are great, seating is a little tight but not too off putting. I am pretty sure my mind is made up and I can genuinely say that the food served here, that I have tasted, is amongst the best if not THE best Indian food I have experienced. The prices are a bit dearer than your average 'after pub curry venue' but that's because it isn't an average 'after pub curry venue'. Love it and will be booking again soon. You are best booking every time as they do get busy.

We came here for dinner on a Friday night and loved the whole experience. The food was fresh, flavourful, and well presented. I would definitely recommend the Pasanda curry if you prefer a mild curry. The service was also great, all staff were very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be returning soon!

Celebrated our children’s birthdays last night, with many family members, and we all agreed this was the best Indian Restaurant we’ve ever been to; ranging from a 5 year old to a 79 year old! The food was delicious, the service was awesome and the atmosphere was just brilliant! Will be making this an annual celebration for sure.

My husband and I stopped by to have lunch yesterday. It was his first time. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and we all enjoyed a glass of Prosecco alongside our lunch. The cost was astonishingly reasonable. They have recently introduced an entirely new menu. The chicken was amazing. Additionally, the ham hock was delicious and delightful, although I couldn't consume the entire dish. Without a doubt, we will return and enthusiastically recommend it.Five-star rating!

Birthday meal with the hubby, asparagus, goats cheese and quail egg tart! All the flavours in a beautiful thin crust. The Cornish plaice was stunning, sweet, tasty and a good size portion and OMG the chocolate mousse was amazing. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and very apologetic that they didn’t have port glasses for the excellent LBV we had after dinner. Marina you were great!

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.

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

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 :)

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.

This is my favourite restaurant in Woking. The food is delicious, the servers are warm and friendly and the portion sizes are great. Best of all, they are not stingy on the bread! I would recommend the tasting menu since you get to a bit of everything, and the meats on the mixed grill are really good.

Fabulous meal at this restaurant. We ordered the tasting menu. Plenty of delicious food. A couple of dishes were a little too spicy for me due to oral autoimmune condition so best to ask first if you can't tolerate spicy.

Delicious food, cosy atmosphere and wonderful service. Beit Beirut know how to treat you, make you feel so welcome and want to come again! Delicious lamb and chicken dishes, full of flavour! We enjoyed wine, coffees and baklava after. Wonderful, caring treatment from all staff! Will absolutely be coming again!

There is a reason why Beit Beirut has such high ratings. The restaurant itself is clean and warm, the wine wall adds a lovely traditional feel to room, and the atmosphere is soothing. The staff are lovely and attentive, explaining each dish and its origins as it is served. The food itself was full of flavour and varied, so many different foods to try. I tried several dishes like the grilled aubergine starter (included in the cold meze) that I've not tried before and not only enjoyed what I ate but highly recommend. For something different, tasty and friendly in Woking I strongly recommend booking yourself into Beit Beirut. You won't be disappointed.

I visited this pub/restaurant for a solo business meal. The staff were some of the friendliest, most welcoming restaurant staff I have ever encountered. The lady who I assumed was the manager treated me like a member of her family and could not do enough for me! Grace, who was waiting on my table was very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. They said I would be back and they were right - I’ll definitely be going back here. The atmosphere was so cosy and welcoming!

Amazing Sunday roast. Roast pork, roast beef, and half a roast chicken all served on a platter with amazing yorkshire puddings. Fresh vegetables stuffing balls and gravy. What more would one want on a Sunday! Top notch food and service! Considering we did not have a booking and they were exceptionally busy, the amazing staff still managed to accommodate us. Thank you so much.

Very welcoming pub with genuinely passionate owners who care so much for the pub and their locals. It's a truly unique old pub with a large fire place and wooden beams. You can imagine life there 1600's as it still has that historical timeless feel. The building is so interesting and the owners really enjoyed sharing their knowledge of the history with me that made the visit that much more enjoyable. It's perfect for an afternoon coffee or an evening drink. Good selection of drinks to choose from. Some great bar snacks to. Keep an eye out for live music as it's a brilliant atmosphere when a folk band are playing there. Used to be known as a 'locals' pub which may have been off putting but I'm not that local and the few times I have been now I have chatted with the locals and staff and been made to feel very welcome. I look forward to my next visit when I will be bringing along family and friends. Well done owners, 10/10

What a quirky and interesting pub. I am 6'4" so no way I could stand up straight. So warning to tall people: you will eventually hit your head once you have had a few!

Favourite pub in the area! Wonderful atmosphere, staff and the locals are extremely friendly.

Went for Sunday dinner it's £20 a head and you have the pick of gammon, turkey or beef or all three! Meat was cooked well nice and moist. The potatoes, veg and yorkshires were OK just a bit bland but cooked well, I was hoping for a bit better but can't really complain for the price. They do cram you in a bit on the tables which doesn't create the nicest atmosphere, overall I would say its average.

Really good Gastro Pub. We dined here recently with a large party for a family birthday celebration. We were able to reserve a private area inside the pub which was perfect for our group. Service was good considering there were around 20 of us. Food and drinks arrived quickly and the kids really enjoyed playing in the garden and the playground. There’s a wonderful outdoor seating area with some cute shepherds huts that are great on a summer’s evening. The menu is extensive and has options to suit everyone, including an entirely separate pizza menu. Highlight for me was my fish and chips which included possibly the largest piece of battered cod that I have ever had the pleasure of being served! It was piping hot and super crispy, accompanied with a tasty tartar sauce - simply perfect! Everyone enjoyed their food and whilst it wasn’t cheap, we didn’t find the prices too excessive. Would definitely come back again to try some other items on the menu and would have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family.

A lovely pub with spacious outdoor and indoor seating area. Food we ordered were good and the service was quite fast. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Absolutely brilliant establishment! The food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was really relaxing. The menu has a nice big range of different meals to suit everyone. The staff even added a candle to one of the puddings as we were celebrating a birthday, even though I was joking they did it anyway!! Absolutely brilliant place to go and we will definitely be visiting again! Big 👍
