"from the warm white inviting lights and shaded chandeliers, leather and wood decoration, high quality tasty foods and friendly staff I would recommend this place to eat. first we were 20 minutes too late for our bills booking pulling two tired children along in our party. we had special nutritional requirements and had to be served quickly to make our theatre show on time after dinner. nothing was too much for this quality restaurant team. steak was in the mouth melting, children took Doggy bags of eating that really went well in the theater, even us a totally faux smug parent moment when other parents commented in the pantomime how well we prepare for our children in the interval. ha. thanks bills."

"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!"

"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."

"Unfortunately not a great experience. The starters came out pretty quickly and were thought to be lovely. However the mains took approx 1 hour 50 minutes from the time we sat down. We always exercise patience these days and fully appreciate that when food is cooked from scratch it takes longer. The restaurant was only half full however and there appeared to be lots of staff. I think there was cream on my fish which I don’t like, I did not notice cream mentioned on the menu, also the potato fondant wasn’t cooked properly. My son had to order potatoes with his chicken as this didn’t come with any. The staff were very bad at letting us know what the delay was all about. It did start to irk a bit when people having afternoon tea were getting fed before out lunch turned up. It is a lovely restaurant though! Sadly we won’t be back."

"On arriving noticed their covid compliancy was rubbish as it seemed to be up to the customers whether they wanted to to wear masks. Half the staff were wearing masks across their mouths but not their noses. Took ages to get a drink. When my vegetarian platter arrived I bit into my vegetable samosa to find meat! Obviously called a member of staff over to complain and they didn't seem to see the problem but said they would replace. When they finally exchanged we were asked if the manager had been over but he hadn't bothered! I had gone off my food at this point. No apology at all! Will not be going back and will be warning all of my friends especially the vegetarian ones."

"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"

"Best locally but.... I love Oisi and we regularly get take away from here for lunch at the weekend. I've been to lunch and dinner a few times and the food on the most part has been delicious, but we have found the service and food sometimes doesn't come out to order e.g. I had a hot beef dish that came out cold and when I asked they said it can be either and that it is served cold unless you ask for it hot BS as far as I was concerned, they were just covering their tracks. It is hands down the best Japanese restaurant in the Guildford/woking/byfleet area but I hope they read this and spend a little bit more time on their food service.Beyond that the restaurant is family owned I think and they do make a real effort to be nice but could do with being a bit more upbeat the location is a bit weird a stairwell between a printers and some other shop that goes down into a basement once you get down there it doesn't matter though.Overall I'd say if you live in the area you HAVE to go and try it out as it's great japanese food without the london prices (will still cost you a fair bit mind), BUT you might find that perfect japanese meal out might have a few little frustrations along the way but not enough to spoil the fantastic food in my opinion.Get the:black codtempura king prawnschicken gyozawagu beef (but ask for it hot"

"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."

"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."

"We decided it would be nice to go for lunch, then have a browse round the garden centre as it was my mum 's 91st birthday. We pre booked lunch and when we arrived were seated promptly. Then sat there for 20 minutes with waiting staff completely ignoring us. Finally we went to the counter, only to be told it 's table service. By this time we saw that others arriving after us were being served so my husband approached a waitress and asked if we could order our food. She was very abrupt and kept us waiting a few more minutes before she came over. Rather rude in her attitude when telling one of our group that the meal she ordered was off the menu. Surely a simple Sorry, that 's off this lunchtime would suffice? The food was delicious but again we were totally ignored and had to chase up the bill after sitting there a further 20 minutes (this time we sat there just to see if anybody came over) Shocking service and one rude member of staff. Either more staff needed or more efficient staff needed. The 2 stars was for the food which as I say was delicious."

"My experience at this restaurant was terrible. I placed an order through the Just Eat app and tried to use a £10 voucher that Just Eat had given me. However, when the owner called me back, they said I couldn't use the voucher and demanded an extra £5 from the driver. I tried to explain that the voucher was provided by Just Eat and that they should contact them, but the owner continued to be rude and yell at me over the phone. I will not be ordering from this place again and I recommend that others avoid it as well. Delivery service was poor, and the atmosphere was unpleasant. The cost per person was around £20-30. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a rating of 1 out of 5."

"Worst service I have ever experienced in my life... Firstly I found a hair in my food, no biggie, these things happen, but, when I finally got the waitor who was also the manager's attention, he accused me of putting a hair in my food!!!...Then when it came to paying, all my friends paid up and then it got to me, where I rightly refused to pay for my food, and the manager got very, infact extremely agressive, stepping up to me getting in my face (to point at which I wasn't sure if he was about to get physical), and raising his voice telling us never to come back, which I can happily say i wont be and strongly reccomend no one else does either."

"We visited this charming restaurant near the train station while staying in the area overnight. Its exterior may not be impressive, but once inside, the food is exceptional. We tried a set menu with crispy aromatic duck, sweet-and-sour chicken, Hong Kong-style beef with spring onions and ginger, and special fried rice. We also added crispy prawn dumplings and chicken satay skewers. Despite the distance from our home, we are confident this will become our favorite Chinese restaurant. The prices are great, and you can bring your own drinks for a small corkage fee. We will definitely return soon."

"I had lunch at this restaurant and it was amazing. The price per person is around £40–50, but it was worth every penny. The food was top-notch, I'd give it a solid 5 out of 5. The service was also excellent, I'd rate it a 5 as well. The atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect, I really enjoyed my dining experience and would definitely recommend it. A perfect 5 out of 5 for the overall experience."

"During our first visit to this restaurant, I was accompanied by my daughter and we were delighted by the incredibly friendly staff who were very attentive to her while we waited for our food. The portion sizes were impressive (the large size was almost too much for us) and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning! There is a large car park about 3 minutes away for parking. The takeout service was efficient and perfect for a dinner meal. Prices range from £10 to £20 per person. We rated the food, service, and atmosphere a 5 out of 5. Highly recommended dishes include the Battered Fish Fillet. There is plenty of parking available and it is free of charge."

"I can't comment on the eating in option this review is for the Red Fort takeaway. It.is.INCREDIBLE. The first time I ordered through Just Eat (now switched to ordering direct from Red Fort as it's cheaper) was purely by chance. They were cheap so I went with them, with low expectations due to the price. Oh my god was I WRONG!! Every single dish was full of flavour, and beautifully cooked, from the perfect onion bahji to the soft sheek kebab. But the main point to note is the lamb they use. If you're of a certain age you will remember when EVERY Indian restaurant used those lovely chunks of lamb, instead of the miserable, cheap and nasty marbled strips half of them use today. Red Fort use CHUNKS of lamb, that are so soft they almost melt in your mouth. And ZERO gruesome white tubing either. Absolutely incredible quality of food for the price. Don't be fooled by how cheap Red Fort are support a wonderful, top notch establishment that REALLY make the effort to get their food right."

"Well where to start we were a family group of 9, 5 adults and 4 children from 2-7 years of age. We wanted to book a table for 7pm for an evening meal but was told it would have to be 6:30 as the restaurant was busy later not surprising as it was easter weekend. We came in for 6:30 but the girl who was seating people started to ask if we had booked and then the phone rang and said she had to answer it and ignored us for the next 5 minutes then she hung up and said derogatory coments about the person on the other end of the phone. Then she could not find our booking which we had paid for in advance but finaly got seated at 7 pm our order for drinks and food were taken in reasonable time but we had to wait for over 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive and over 30 minutes for our starters to arrive the mains took another 30 minutes after we had finished our starters and the children were getting restless and tired the mains finaly arrived and of the 5 adult meals only 1 was edible and 1 child meal was forgoten completly and had to be asked for again. After being in the being in the restaurant for over 2 hours we still had not recived our desserts and the childen were so tired we had to leave I complained to the person in charge who did not even have the grace to reply or apologise and we were never asked if our meals were ok. We thought breakfast could not possibly be as bad but how wrong were we. Once again we had to wait for over 30 minutes to be seated even though there were plenty of free tables just no staff to clear or reset them only 1 young lad who was running around like a headless chicken trying to do his best for just over £5 per hour he was a credit to an otherwise disgrafull restaurant . It was a buffy style breakfast help yourself but most things were never avaliable at the same time and shortage of plates bowls spoons etc. Needless to say we will never use this restaurant again its the worst I have ever been in."
