"Although it's only a mile or so from where I live and although I'm a great lover of Indian sub Continent food, it was the first time that I had been there, I went with two friends last night (13 Feb). Panshi is situated in a U shaped road that leads to Hinchley Wood Railway Station. The moment we stepped in, we felt that the restaurant gave out a welcoming atmosphere. I counted 11 tables all of which were rapidly filled shortly after our arrival. The service was prompt, friendly and efficient. I had my usual (chicken pasanda, tarks dal and a stuffed paratha); my friends ordered lamb biriani, lamb pathia, a keema nan and rice. My pasanda was probably the best one I had ever tasted, the tarka dal was perfectly thickened and the stuffed paratha was good (although a little thin). All dishes were thoroughly enjoyed. Prices are reasonable and in line with equivalent restaurants. The restaurant and the lavatories were immaculately clean. Parking (after 6pm) outside or close by is a doddle. I can't find anything to criticise about Panshi. It appears that the restaurant is normally filled with local residents so booking is highly advisable!! Other reviewers, I note, give high recommendations; I'm adding mine. NB Readers (if any) of my various reviews may have noticed that I have yet to write an unfavourable one. Be assured that my standards really are exacting and any faults are recorded in my reviews. I guess I've been very fortunate in visiting good/excellent restaurants."

"First visit to this establishment on 29/12/2021, date for the owner. It's got kerb appeal to pull in customers, and internally the All Day Restaurant doesn't disappoint. Unfortunately our welcome and first experience of Customer Service was cold at best from the female waitress/ front...of house. For our breakfast my wife asked for the Ganola, and checked if it contained banana as my Wife is allergic to it, reply was not sure can't guarantee it doesn't Now most people would either know it does or doesn't or at least would take the time to go and ask the Kitchen, this is something every other restaurant or cafe we have asked the question did! My wife ended choosing a portion of the Red Velvet cake, unfortunately it appears being left out in the open air had caused it to become dry and stale, my wife opted to leave the majority of the cake, and because of the customer service and what I had received for my breakfast, decided to just take it on the chin and couldn’t be bothered raising the issue with the cake quality. I decided to choose fried eggs on toast, I asked for the eggs to be well done as I do not like runny white (snot) and asked for the toast to be buttered! The waitress took on board my request for the well done egg, however, said they do not butter toast and leave butter on the side OK fair enough please leave the eggs off the toast and I'll butter the toast when it arrives. Eggs turn up on buttered toast and under done, immediately I asked for them to be sent back and reminded her you did acknowledge my request. Eggs came back more than well done, and I had lost my appetite! The male Waiter had far more customer service, however, a concern was his cough and lack of face mask, the female waitress didn't bother with a face mask, so when it comes to serving food and passing from customer to customer, this restaurant isn't the safest of COVID places to visit, compared to others in the close vicinity. Hopefully the owner will take the critique as constructive like other establishments have, and not want to reply negatively. Good luck for the future."

"The Foley has always been one of our go to lunch haunts in Claygate.... they do a great burger although I swap the fries for the triple cooked chips. Hoping they bring back the Eton Mess for summer its very sweet but one of the best!! Edited in 12/04/24 To say we were disappointed is putting it mildly. My friend and I had been talking about gammon steaks recently as my last visit to another pub that had gammon on the menu was a disaster, it was gammon ham not gammon. My friend sent me a photo of The Foley's new menu and on it was gammon steak. We rocked up today and both had the gammon. We both left most of it, my friend gave it a better go than I did. I honestly don't think I've had gammon that tough before, I'm still picking bits out of my teeth. The only reason we gave it the bashing we did was the salsa that came with it, that was delicious and the chips were good too... dipped in salsa were excellent. After giving up on the gammon, we attacked the dessert menu and settled on the creme brulee. This was beautiful, be careful with the little ginger biscuits because even saying I can hold my ginger, it's never too strong, lord they packed a punch ... wow, did they! The creme brulee was beautifully thick and creamy ... maybe a little more brulee with a better snap but that's a personal preference. The rhubarb and custard and the side was delicious, the rhubarb being bothy punchy and sweet. Yes the dessert was definitely the crown on today's lunch"
