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

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.

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.

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.

What a great find! An ample selection of mains.. myself and my partner were struggling to pick 2 mains so we went for 3 and skipped starters. All the dishes were great and they have a special offer on the fish every Tuesday (Any fish dish for £15). 3 mains, 2 mocktails, baklava to share, a bottle of water and service charge all came in at under £100 which I felt was very reasonable. The service is also top notch! Highly recommended.

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.

We first came here a few months back. It has become and instant classic for us. The very best kept secret that was recommended by friends whom we highly trust for food and service. We absolutely implore everyone to support this beautiful, wonderful and incredible local food business. The service is incredible, the food is sensational

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.

Lovely place peaceful dogs welcome lodge had everything make sure you take groceries not many shops

Me and my husband had an amazing stay here! It’s in an ideal spot to get to places but far enough away to chill in the countryside. We especially loved feeding the ducks and getting alerted of their presence outside our lodge haha! Thank you for a lovely stay I’m certain we will be back again next year.

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.

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.

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.

19 adults and 4 children booked for 14.30 birthday meal. Staff were absolutely fabulous. Food was superb. Everything came out hot and on time. 100% highly recommended. I had just returned from a 2 week trip to Italy and actually felt like I was still there.

Amazing place with perfect food. I would highly recommend it ! From delicious garlic bread to fabulous pasta. Very good pizzas too👌🏼! 150% Many thanks for amazing food!

Always have a great experience here. Lovely food and wine. Perfect friendly atmosphere. Service great, unlike GWR, but we had our train tickets refunded and the 3/4 hour walk was not too bad after the lovely lubrication at Daniele.

Came as a family for my dads 60th last night. Amazing as usual, food is delicious, service is 10/10 and the vibes are just lovely. They went above and beyond and made it such a special night. Plus the tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had in my life.

Visited Silvanas for the first time last night. What an absolute delight. Service was first class. Attentive but not pushy. Very warm welcome and very knowledgeable about the menu. Food was delicious and we were able to take our time in the relaxed atmosphere and not made to feel like we needed to finish up as soon as we had finished, unlike some other nearby restaurants. Will definitely be visiting again soon to try out some of the other wonderful dishes. I can see this becoming a firm favourite when dining in Farnham

What a great addition to Farnham! I’m not usually one to write reviews but feel Silvana’s restaurant is one to visit! The service from Dan, Sonny and Sophie was warm, friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much hassle and you can tell every staff member cares. Food was delicious, great variety on the menu, busy and social atmosphere, and the wine list provided the perfect accompaniment! I can’t wait to come back for cocktails and the BBQ night!

I’ve worked here on and off all year but today was the first time I managed to come out with friends for birthday shizzles and we all loved it. I know first hand how hard the kitchen crew work but it was a joy this evening to be served by a fantastic foh team and bar crew. Thanks Matt and Silvana for making our night really special. Love you guys 🤗

I arranged a surprise dinner here for my dad's birthday in September. It was a large booking and there were 15 of us. The atmosphere, food, drinks and service were incredible. All the staff are attentive and fun. The food was mouthwatering, especially the steak. They kept bringing the BBQ food to the table on the red / green disc system and it worked so well. It was a wonderful evening and we will definitely be back. There was PLENTY of food to go around. You won't leave this place hungry! Try this small business out, they are amazing.

This is a long overdue review - apologies, but Christmas got in the way! We had a family outing to celebrate 2 birthdays and a wedding anniversary and were delighted with our evening at the Barn Bistro. We were there fairly early, so it was on the quiet side, but very welcoming even so. Very pleasant service, really good food (even our little picky eater enjoyed it) and all in all a good place for a celebration. Thank you - and we hope to see you again soon.

Food was delicious. Came here on a Saturday lunch time, where there was one other table eating. Service was slow considering there were just two tables - but worth the wait for the food and at a decent price for Farnham centre. A little gem.

This charming cafe offers a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for coffee lovers seeking a cozy haven. The skilled baristas craft exceptional coffee, from classic favorites to specialty brews. Their rich espresso is a standout. The menu features delectable pastries and treats that perfectly complement the coffee. The friendly staff is knowledgeable and attentive, making your visit exceptional. With reasonable pricing, ample seating options, and an overall superb experience, this cafe is a must-visit for a comforting coffee break.

Stumbled upon by chance, impromptu lunch whilst visiting with family. Owners are very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and the service second to none. Wishing them well with the business!

Really glad we made our walkers lunch stop at this traditional pub in the pretty village of Thursley. Friendly, professional & welcoming staff. Real ale was well kept. Homemade sandwiches were tasty. Competitive prices. Live music on a Saturday afternoon was a real bonus! Would definitely visit here again.

Always a nice welcome and friendly staff and this lovely community-run local pub. In the summer we have enjoyed eating in the garden with its far reaching views. We have eaten here a few times and until now always had good food. But on this occasion the food was poor. The pie was swimming in gravy that lacked any flavour, it would also have been nicer to serve the gravy separately. Sadly the food was cold and had to be returned to the kitchen, the pub was not busy and it really seemed a shame that they missed the mark on this occassion. We also noted that the menu was not as interesting as it had been earlier in the year. I am hoping this was a 'blip' and that normal service will resume. We will give it another go sometime soon.

A lovely country pub. Good, hearty food full of flavour and soul. Now stop looking at the menu and just order the Beef Bourguignon. It’s absolutely spectacular.

Amazing food and service at Bills Went this morning for their new £5 bottomless pancakes. I expected cheaply thrown together food but that was not what I got The pancakes were amazing with toppings put together very professionally, we had 3 types, Biscoff, fruits and bacon all three looked great and tasted amazing. We also topped up with bottomless hot drinks, the hot chocolates went down well in the cold weather. The team gave amazing service and made us very welcome. A perfect visit and for sure will be back. Highly recommended.

Our Waitres Bella was very proffesional , attentive, caring and considerate. She took in to note of our daughter’s allergies and she remained focused on all our needs throughout the evening.In our opinion, Possibly the BEST WAITRESS we have experienced of many years of eating out. Also, it was my birthday and they made me feel special on that evening whice was very nice. I would recommend this place if u want to have nice evening meal.

Visited with 2 colleagues after work on a Tuesday and were able to grab seats straight away. Service was very friendly and prompt. Food was good and consistent with other branches of Bills. One star knocked off as some of the food we ordered turned out to be not available. Would recommend coming here for a quick bite.

Came here for Sunday brunch which was a good experience with friendly service. The eggs benedict was delicious and filling. The QR code service where you can split the bill and pay online is awesome and hopefully more food outlets follow suit and do this. Good value for money all in.
