"Visited with my partner a couple of weeks ago and selected the steak and wine offer for two. I eat out quite a lot when I have the opportunity and enjoy pub food. I have to say, my steak (well done) was probably the best I have ever had! Great food, great service, great value. Thank you ! It was excellent!"

"This was our first-ever visit to this restaurant following a recommendation by a family member. We booked using the phone number on the website, and our table was ready when we arrived. This restaurant is not licensed to serve alcohol, which was not obvious from the website. You are welcome to 'bring your own ' but as we were unaware of this, it was rather unsettling to find out. The second thing that I found unsettling when we arrived was one of the chefs wearing a chef 's coat that was clearly from another establishment, prominently visible as we walked in. Not the best first impression, I have to say. This restaurant offers an extensive menu but some of the fruit drinks were 'unavailable ' during our visit due to a machine breakdown. However, the 'strawberry juice ' smoothie which I had ranks as one of the best fruit drinks I have ever had, anywhere, and that alone made the visit here worthwhile. The lentil soup I chose was nicely textured but had a little too much spice in it for my taste, and came with some small flatbread pieces. The main dishes we chose were nicely presented and very generous portions, although they both came with a large helping of raw onions which, had I known, I would have asked to be omitted as I have an intolerance of them. Following our main meals we would have had some hot drinks but as the restaurant was by now quite full, noisy and the staff were clearly starting to be 'stretched ', we chose to forego that pleasure and had a drink when we got home. The choice of desserts here is small but they looked good, so perhaps we will have some room left to sample them on a future visit?"

"Shame. Food here used to be great, really disappointed with 2 roasts. Chicken dry, really basic stuff, inedible. Returned it and lots of ??? around refund. I simply said charge gif veg, toast potatoes aren’t touched as not nice. My beef was cooked really well, lovely but didn’t enjoy any of the veg. Ordered mash as a side due to 2 small roast potatoes, arrived after we’d finished and was unrecognisable as mash and all little bubbles on the top. Shame Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3"

"Food tastes great but really overpriced, £6 for chips!!!!! plus another 3£ delivery all up for supporting local business but this is really going to far. Ordered a small Kebab and it was small much better outlets out there would advise to shop around so small kebab and chips plus delivery over £20 is wrong"

"Booked bottomless brunch for me and my boyfriend. We greeted very pleasantly by Alex behind the bar who took us to our reserved table. We were then greeted by mark who gave exceptional service throughout our 2 hour bottomless brunch. We had so many drinks in our 2 hour time slot. I would advise anyone to go for the bottomless brunch option at this place. The food was spectacular as well! 10/10 would advise"

"This restaurant is beautiful and cozy, with a funny and friendly waiter and unique cuisine. I usually don't give 5-star ratings, but this place definitely deserves it. We came in hungry, but left pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. I will definitely be returning here as a regular customer."

"First and last visit. I took my family for a celebration meal last night. The food was not even as good as average, the chicken tika was more plane char grilled chicken that was pale in colour, none of the food was piping hot, more warm, the only thing with a half decent flavour was a vegetable korma, iv been to dozens of Indian restaurants and never been charged for the dips that go with the poppadoms. I made a comment about the tika and they offered to replace it but my daughter declined as we were all eating together, most of it was left on the dish yet I was still charged 12:99 for 3 pieces of awful chicken, had my daughter asked me not to I'd have refused to pay for it and deducted the automatic service charge that really wasn't justified. so, even with no alcohol at the table I was still stung nearly £170 for four adultsand onechild. Very over priced, not good service and bellow average food. Unfortunately I won't be returning."

"Ordered a chicken passanda and it was possibly the worst I’ve ever had, like eating sand it was so salty. Called them up to take it back and apparently there was a bit up with the salt in the kitchen. They gave us a korma instead but when asking for a partial refund back they just gave me 2 free popadoms and a sorry. We have just spent £50 there for a takeaway for 3 people and a partial refund I think is what is more than deserved. we are local too and have been a few times but most definitely this time was our last. For the sake of other people reading this review please do not go to the restaurant and go elsewhere."

"This Indian and Nepalese restaurant located in the heart of Woking is fantastic. The interior is beautifully decorated and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. They offer a wide variety of Indian and Nepalese dishes, but I was especially impressed by their lamb biryani. They also offer takeout options. Definitely worth a visit."

"The food quality at this restaurant was very poor, with dry lamb skewers and chicken. The service was slow and inattentive, and the food seemed like reheated leftovers. The pitta bread was microwaved, and the chips had a bad smell of old oil. The Diet Coke cans were served closed and at room temperature, and the hummus came late. I dine out frequently and have tried many restaurants, but this was the worst meal I have had in a while, from South to North England. I recommend the kebab centre in New Haw for a far more tasty and succulent meal. I was very disappointed and will not be returning to this restaurant."

"What a little gem of Ripley it is! We went for an afternoon walk today and fancied a little stop on the way back. And what a treat this pub was We only had a drink each and a few nibbles but we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Food was good quality and presented well. Homemade humus was yummy and polenta chips were a perfect combination of soft and crunchy! Phoebe and James looked after us and made us feel very welcome, including Ted, our dog, who got some water, a treat and, of course, attention Thank you, guys! We'll definitely be back!"

"Restaurant nearly full as we passed, so thought a good sign. Wrong! Service good and attentive, asked for 2 poppadums received 4, was charged for 4! Then the mains came out..... I had Naga, my go to dish. This is an extremely hot dish, but also very favourable. Not here. No taste, just pure chilli and as for the powdery texture! My partner had the Dhoom, described as the (The real curry) chicken or lamb cooked with pungent spices in a caramelised onion gravy(medium hot). Again all that could be tasted was a jar of curry powder ! Plain chicken overcooked! We were told that the Naga is different at different places, well that may be the case, but no taste at all? really nah, not accepting that. The Dhoom, why not, as always nice to try a different dish that restaurants offer. My partner said that she's had curry sauce on chips tastes better! Manager did remove the Dhoom from the bill, nice, but as soon as this was being discussed the atmosphere towards us totally changed, no offer of making another dish, would have thought that a better option. Feeling uncomfortable sitting there while we finished our drinks, we stopped drinking and left. Shame but hey, others enjoyed from their reviews"

"We visited on a busy Sunday with our walking group, coinciding with Remembrance Day, which made it even busier due to attendees from the service at Brookmans Cemetery. The staff were exceptional, providing attentive service and keeping things running smoothly despite the crowd. I ordered the Sunday roast trio, which was fantastic, featuring beef, pork, and chicken, accompanied by perfectly roasted potatoes and a medley of green vegetables. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a nice level of liveliness that added to the experience. There was a steady stream of customers coming in, and each one was greeted at the entrance and escorted to their table. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to returning as soon as possible. Thank you to the team!"

"We stayed last night and had a beautiful room clean warm and very spacious with great parking . However we went into the resturant which was full. There was a very full table of 10 or more to our left . They still hadn't had their full courses and were still waiting after 2 hours . We were waiting for a cookie to arrive with our hot drink but no one knew they were out of stock except for the off duty cook Ellie who came to rescue with chocolate brownie and saved the day . Glasses everywhere over the bar it appeared true kaos. Dishes everywhere also No direction organising waiting staff , even though they were rushed off their feet no one appeared to be in charge . Waiting staff doing their best I went to the loo on my way out only to hear more complaints of people waiting an hour for food only to be told they had run out of pies. I would highly recommend accommodation and breakfast made by Ellie but would avoid eating here of an evening atm . Please Managers sort it out!! Rooms: 5 Service: 3 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great value"

"friendly and stylish. I was first on the nags head as youngster and it was a traditional 'old youngs' pub with sticky carpets and a dartboard. but 40 years on it, a name again and again, and the refreshed ethos of pubs to become a destination and a tasty, this place ticks all boxes. the share plate was excellent (no fault of a dead toothache) the it area is cozy, traditional and stylish and on a sunny day that it was free is a joy at the back that expresses itself over fields."

"I have read the reviews can only assume that we were extremely unlucky! We ordered a takeaway to collect it was ready in time, but the disappointment came when we came to eat the food both mine and my husbands had absolutely NO flavour whatsoever! If I didn’t no better I would say that they had forgotten go put the spices in !! Food: 1 Service: 4"

"Myself and a group of friends recently came here for a few drinks on a Sunday evening, I've never written a review on here before but thought it was only right I did so this time. The evening in general was very enjoyable, especially the food. However the service was rather negative, I believe the server who was waiting on us was the manager, and unfortunately the service he provided us with wasn’t a great experience. I work in retail so I know providing positive customer service at all times isn’t always possible especially when busy. However, he was quite rude in the way he shot down my friend when she offered help with drinks, saying ‘don’t do that’ instead of politely just asking when all she was doing was offering help when it was clear he was struggling. He also walked away when we were mid ordering our food. I think we were just a bit disappointed in the way he spoke to us, obviously we understand that due to Covid there’s certain rules to follow when serving however I don’t think it was right to have spoken to a customer in that way."

"We recently got married at the Talbot and had the most amazing day. From initially meeting Krystyna we knew we would be looked after, her professionalism, organisational skill and attention to detail made us feel really at ease throughout the planning. The venue itself is beautiful and they recommended some fantastic suppliers for decorating, flowers and DJ. We had a number of family travelling to our wedding and Krystyna kindly organised us to have a rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding. Throughout our stay all of the staff were really attentive and could not have done more. The food was really good too! Thank you for helping make our day so special, we would highly recommend!"

"Went for a bite to eat and drinks. Cocktails 2 for 1! Vibrant atmosphere music playing, Xmas decorations and lighting up making it really festive and cosy. We liked thisfriendly staff food served quickly. Ordered chicken burger and fries and Thai curry with chicken as a topper, will say although very tasty the grilled chicken piece would have presented better on the plate if it was cut into strips and served on the plate, rather than added as a big piece for one to try and cut through! Just an observation but still tasty! The halluomi fries and calamari was also tasty. Would go again thanks."
