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

Great find of a place. Very tasty Thai food and great drinks selection. And, even though you have to pay for the drinks and food on two separate machines, it is a smooth and seamless operation and does not feel like a hassle. They also allow dogs into one part of the restaurant which was a bonus, the staff are super friendly and efficient.

Food is really excellent and nice service times and gaps between courses. The portion size is on the small side, so you may feel you have to order extra food. If not concerned by extra cost I'd order extra starter or meal between group. No chips served at this restaurant.

Lovely meal. The staff are very helpful, attentive, and clearly care a lot about the customer’s experience. The place is very clean. It is excellent to have Thai food in Elstead, thank you. I would definitely come again. The prices are fair. I think the portion sizes were perfect, but if you are looking for huge servings, this restaurant may not be for you. It is recommended that you order a set meal, which I would agree with. Thank you very much GOLDEN FLEECE. Toilet facilities - very clean and well kept.

Had a lovely evening at this Thai pub restaurant. The flavours were spot-on, with each dish tasting fresh and authentic. It was a cosy spot to enjoy great food. Portions were a bit smaller than expected, compared to years ago at least. Overall a great spot for Thai food.

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

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.

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.

We have been for a Sunday roast here for the past 3 weeks and brought friends and family along with us, all agree it's the best pub roast they have had in a long time. The selection of veg is great, delicious meat and plenty of gravy. Our dog Molly loves it there too and enjoys her little doggy bag at the end. Friendly, attentive staff and very reasonably priced. The place has a great, friendly, local pub vibe! Shhh don't tell anyone!

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.

Lovely building. Friendly staff. Tried some of the "nibbles" on the menu which were superb ! The mains were Crispy Beef on Salad with Cashews ( Excellent ) and A Quiche Lorraine which , my partner, felt was far too oniony for her tastes. Having said that, we enjoyed our experience and we will come back again soon.

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 🥧

A tasteful older building with pleasant decor and lighting, and a garden, just outside Guildford on the main road through Shalford. Friendly and helpful staff, though our table was behind a wall, and e found it hard to get their attention at first! Lovely pizza, and a pleasant healthy panzanella salad, though the salad could have been better presented maybe. The main thing I liked was the sense of humour of the staff. And the music was set just right, and not too obtrusive. I visit every few years. Maybe a little bit of decoration necessary to bring the place up to scratch. But generally nice and relaxed, and fairly stylish.

Food and atmosphere all ok, as you would expect from a up market chain of restaurants. The staff can make or break a premises and the tall barman, I think his name was Tom certainly helps make the Seahorse a place to return to, professional, attentive and very likeable. On a separate note my wife and daughter were more taken with how good looking he was. Many thanks to all for a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

We had lunch as a large extended family group. The service was excellent and could not have been better. All of the food was delicious and well presented, apart from one main dish that was not great. However, when we informed the staff member who served us, they immediately offered to replace it or give us a free dessert, in the end the cost of the meal was removed from our bill. Overall the dining experience was wonderful, the food was tasty and well presented and the staff were great. We will definitely return and I would definitely recommend The Seahorse.

Absolute lovely dining experience. We were served by a young chap with curly hair called Lewis who was very attentive and made sure we were always catered for👍. All the food was delicious so really do try as much as you can. Everytime I think “heavens above” as us old folk like to say, when in fact it's right in front of me on that plate.

Very nice food! The set lunch menu is good value. Service could be quicker, however I would still come back.

Lovely pub-restaurant for meeting up with friends and family. Appealing menu. Great atmosphere and although the place was completely full with big parties, food and drinks were served promptly. We had an issue with one of the dishes which was resolved well. Cosy in winter and outside space for summer days. Some areas could do with a lick of paint (doors to loos)

Excellent Sunday roast dinner! Beef was melt in the mouth, really friendly service from Sara, was more than happy to help with anything we wanted and lovely and chatty. Would definitely recommend to a friend and to ask for Sara too!

Had a lovely meal with friends here. We were given a really nice table and the food was excellent. I had the cod dish and it was probably one of the loveliest bits of cod I have ever had.

The atmosphere inside was very nice and the food and drinks were tasty. We ordered the Sunday roast chicken which was good but seemed a bit small for a roast. Overall a good experience. Not many gluten free options.

I went there to check it out we sat outside because we have our bird pet , I had a lovely cocktail it was amaretto cocktail base smell lovely too ! We went back there before Christmas to watch the game we had a lovely meals there , staff and services was very friendly, I really enjoyed my dishe Seabass with chorizo 😋 even have the same cocktails and margaritas.

Couldn't fault this venue for quality, service or atmosphere. An absolutely fantastic meal, with high quality friendly service. Dog friendly too. The landlord was warm friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent, and reasonably priced too. What a shame we are only in the area for a few hours or we would certainly return. Thank you.

Wonderful staff and wonderful food. The roast chicken was delicious with lots of gravy. The craft table is always so great and the kids love it. A win for all!

I stopped here for a romantic meal with my partner. The atmosphere was fantastic - Traditional pub meets unpretentious luxury. The location was stunning, we ate on the bank of the river with the gentle sound of flowing water in the background. The service was prompt, friendly and competent. BUT THE FOOD!.. was truly excellent! We shared the 22oz steak and I can honestly say it was one of the best steaks either of us had ever had. This is a wonderful place to enjoy a special night out or just a relaxing Saturday afternoon with friends. Maximum stars from me 🌟

Little scenic spots on the riverside over this old mill. Warm hut with cover seating available, with complimentary blankets and above heaters for chilly nights, small bar inside with all the favourite and popular spirits and some exclusive brands unseen anywhere else. The stag, always features a top notch menu , when passing through the south east we always pop by as we love and enjoy everything the stag offer and the staff are always so kind and welcoming. They also have limited luxury rooms however we have never stayed.

Me and my partner went for winter wonderland dinner last night to celebrate my birthday and we had a great time. The food was scrumptious and the staff were super friendly and attentive. We loved the restaurant, warm evening with roaring fire on.

My family attended a table for the Boxing day festive menu at Heaven's kitchen. We were all very impressed with the level of customer service. Our waiter was attentive, efficient and also had a great humor and made us laugh. The food was delicious!! Fabulous dishes and the price was extremely reasonable. It was most of our first time visiting here and we will definitely be back.

New year's dinner for 24? No problem. Good food (hot and all served more or less at the same time without error). Pleasant service at the bar and table service (Tony?). Nice selection of drinks. Dog friendly. One more potato next time please.

Love this place. The perfect quintessential English pub with great food, wine and ambience. Warm and friendly waiting staff in white shirts, traditionally laid tables and a great menu with references back to the 70s - prawn cocktails, wellingtons, liver and bacon. The food was brilliant.

We held my father’s wake at the Withies - a fitting tribute he would have loved this place! The staff were so helpful and the food delicious. So pleased we found you and so appreciate all you did. Thank you

Lovely 17 century pub. Food was delicious, I had the vegetable pie. Friendly staff. I recommened doing the nice talk before your meal, and remember to bring wellies! It took us just over an hour.
