"This was the worst dining experience I have ever had! I would give it a 0/10 or even a negative rating if possible. I don't think they truly care about their customers. The prices are outrageously high for the low-quality food they serve. I ordered the chicken Biryani and the portion size was extremely small for the price. Even if the quality had been good, which it wasn't, I would have been disappointed. The chicken korma tasted more like a sweet dessert dish, it had so much sugar in it. When I heard that the Rasam rice was priced at 7 pounds, I should have known to steer clear. This kind of pricing is unheard of even in high-end hotels. My advice to the restaurant: show some respect to your customers, improve the quality of your food, and reconsider your pricing. Your food is not worth the prices you are charging. I will definitely not be returning, even if I'm starving."

"We booked a table at cafe rouge as we had tickets for the theatre nearby. We go to cafe rouge on a regular basis and this was our worst experience by far. The venue itself was nice, lots of glass windows and the usual cafe rouge decor. We ordered bread and olives to start, which were great, but we had issues with the main and pudding courses. We had both ordered steaks to be cooked medium, but when they arrived one was perfect and the other was very well done. They replaced it without a fuss however my partner had finished her meal before my replacement arrived. The replacement was good, but there was no reflection in the bill that we had come out for a meal together and ended up eating alone. We ordered pudding, creme brûlée and chocolate fondant. The chocolate fondant was nothing special, a little dry, but the creme brûlée was awful. The crunchy top had not been made by putting on sugar and then caramelising it; instead they had made caramel in a pan and poured it on. This made it very thick and hard to eat and rather unenjoyable. The service was okay, but we felt the manager was rather inappropriately dressed in a short skirt and sparkly trainers!"

"las iguanas is a great restaurant for an authentic and realistic taste of Mexican cuisine. the chicken burrito that I had was extremely good and with the wuntu las iguanas code (only available for 3 mobile customers) that makes it one of the most favorable calculations they can get. £3 a burrito pro customer, that's a lot. the service was great, kylie made everything seamless and very beautiful meal."

"Perfect Vietnamese food all round. Having travelled Vietnam in the past, I have found it so hard to find authentic Vietnamese food that tastes like it does in Vietnam. The search is over! If you want real Vietnamese food, try Bep Viet! Whether you are getting Pho, Bun, or Banh Mi, you can be sure it will be delicious. The couple that run the food stall are so lovely, and they always serve you with a smile. Cannot fault the service at all. Overall it's an easy 5 stars from me :"

"They say they do deliveries, well mine didn't turn up because the driver (according to the map) was sitting at the other end of our street to my house for 40 minutes trying to say he didn't have my post code, or other excuses! After which they claim it was delivered, it was not, I can prove it has not by the drives texts and the security camera! Sovereigns were notified that I had not received the food and whilst I know drivers can be unreliable at time but disgusts is with Sovereigns for unlawfully taking money out of my account for something they know I had not received, a day after the order was placed! The reviews claim the food is good, who know, but do not trust them for delivers."

"Whilst visiting the area we decided to try the local golf club. After playing what was a picturesque course with admittedly poor condition Sandy greens due to course maintenance (which had not been stated at the time of online booking. After finishing our round, we immediately hot footed it to the bar grill. Upon arriving we asked if the kitchen was still open. Unfortunately we were told that the kitchen had just closed. It was 7:55pm. There was visibly still food orders being placed with other members of staff???? Then when we asked at the bar to order our beers, we were told that it was table service only. So we went and sat outside… when no one looked like coming to serve us, we approached the bar again to ask who would be serving us only to be told that table service was only available for the inside part of the bar and we had to download an app to be served outside!? Whilst asking the bar staff this, another golfer ordered a beer at the bar??? Thought it was table service only? One rule for one… When we repositioned ourselves inside to get table service we were immediately served. Hallelujah. We then proceeded to order up there remaining sausage rolls that were on display in their deli counter. One of us ordered their rolls hot!! Lo and behold ALL the sausage rolls were served cold… on the plus side the table waitress was very nice…"

"For our main courses, we ordered cauliflower cheese, roast beef, steak and ale pie, and the fried chicken. Each time we ordered drinks, something was missing. After an hour without receiving any food, we flagged down the servers, who hadn’t noticed our delay. We requested that our starters come out at the same time as our mains since it was getting late. The food was disappointing: the whitebait was acceptable, but the pigs in blankets were raw inside. The cauliflower cheese had barely any cheese and tasted more like flour, the vegetables were undercooked, and the pie had a raw pastry with scant filling. The plating was inconsistent, though the roast beef was well-cooked and seasoned. When I spoke to the manager, he was apologetic and offered us a significant discount. He informed us that he had recently taken over the establishment and that they were experiencing difficulties during their first weekend. It took an additional 25 minutes for him to come and process our payment after we requested the check. It's really unfortunate because the location is lovely. I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon."

"The food is fine. The lady who works there is lovely. However when I gave some feedback the reaction from the man was so poor that I won 't be eating there any more. If he 'd given me a generic We 'll consider that response and forgotten about it the second I left, I 'd still be a customer. Arguing with me lost my business. Moaning to someone from my office that I had given feedback put the last nail in it."

"Went in to get some family treats to take away, ordered a ferro Roche Milkshake, it tasted nothing like Ferro Roche, I asked politely if they could add another one as they had only Put two in and everywhere else has always put 3 in, and I would pay extra, but I got a massive mouthful back from I assume the manager, I asked for a refund and again another mouthful. Ended a really lovely Family evening with me in tears from the way she spoke to me, with no shake no refund and “told off”. If I could rate 0 I would. Not a family friendly place and a rip off"

"Please avoid. The reviews before can't be real as the food is terrible, greasy soggy squid. Over cooked chicken wings that are chewy, oil as sauce for minced chicken, spring rolls as soggy as wet paper. I spent over 60 pounds on what should have been okayThai food that promptly went in the bin. Such a shame as I thought we had found a nice Thai place in Woking. Will keep trekking to Thai Terace in Guildford"

"I came here on Wednesday afternoon and despite the fact it was well past lunchtime, the place was still packed. If I hadn't just nailed a pizza, I could easily have buried my face in one of the delightful cakes displayed at the counter, but instead, I amused myself with a coffee or two. I started with a double espresso and finished with a black coffee. What?! I hadn't had my morning coffee fix! It's no surprise that the coffee was rich and deliciously deep in flavour because at Patisserie Valerie, they serve Illy coffee, which as far as I'm concerned, is the best brand going. I was a little envious of those at the table next to me as they tucked into their chocolate muffin and...read more"

"The food is pretty good with decent sized portions and average pricing, but the service lets this place down unfortunately. We were greeted to be told that there was a 45 minute wait for food (including starters) as they only had one chef working and he is new it didn 't ultimately take that long, but a poor first impression. Bottle of wine deposited on the table, unopened and no offer to pour anyone a glass. I don 't recall anyone asking if everything was okay, although the food service and table clearance was positive. At 9.40pm two of the my friends (having finished eating at 9.30pm) decided to order desert, but we were told that the kitchen was shut! After a quick Google, it appears that you can book to eat here as late as 9.00pm, but the kitchen closes at 9.30pm. I would have expected the waiter to have advised of this, but they did not meaning no desert and this pub missing out on more revenue."

"I was in a food hall last weekend, I want to write first of all about the rude waiters, who waited 20 minutes to come to the table where I was sitting, when the waiter came to me, he had a very indifferent face, in front of which I decided to take the tray, when I came to the table on which the trays were standing, the first tray I got was dirty, after that I saw a girl who, as I understood, works there and decided to ask her why the tray was dirty, since I understood that the girl does not speak English well, but no looking at this, the girl was very polite, unlike the waiters, I wanted to get to know her better, but she did not understand English, and as I understood, she did not have time to get to know her. Coming to the food, the hot is very good but the chicken is dry, I also liked the sweet pastry, I got the shortbread which goes really well with the coffee. I think I will visit Wisley Garden again in the spring, but when I do I will come to the Food Hall again, I hope you will correct the mistakes I have posted here."

"Have visited the Plough four times with various friends recently and everyone has said how much they enjoyed the visit. We have been for both Sunday lunch and for dinner in the evening and it is rapidly becoming the regular Sunday lunch ”watering and feeding...hole” for four of us, (who have been nicknamed the Recalcitrant Geriatric Sunday Lunch Bunch the RGSLB), because it is so comfortable and welcoming. Parking is brilliant, including a disabled space, there are no steps to manage and there is room to move when you get inside. Three of us are on walking sticks or “triangular walky things” and a bit unsteady on our feet. It does have giant TV screens and loudspeakers but they are not on all the time and you can converse in comfort with your friends; we were offered a quiet corner which was ideal. The landlady and landlord made us welcome and looked after us beautifully and provided very nice food and drinks – including good beer! so we have felt nicely cared for. We used to bring another friend but his dementia now prevents this but a little “takeaway” was willingly provided for us to take to him, without fuss or drama. Since our previous Sunday venue closed we have been to more than ten pubs but if you can park the service is bad or there are steps to negotiate or loudspeakers twittering away above your head or always something wrong. Nothing has worked ‘til the Plough. One of our number is a retired pub landlady – and she approves! The Plough is a pub which serves food, not a restaurant that claims to sell beer and Andy and Jackie are to be congratulated on running a “proper pub”! We’ll be back……..!"

"My first visit to this restaurant was quite disappointing. We were not asked if we had been there before and had to wait 25 minutes for someone to take our order, only to be informed that orders had to be placed and paid for online. We were then given a QR code hidden among other papers on the table. We ordered drinks, tapas as a group starter, and mains, but everything arrived at once, making it difficult to find space on the table. One of the mains was missing because it hadn't been captured on the website, and one of the tapas dishes from the online order never made it to our table. The tapas and burgers were good, but the mains that did arrive - the lamb curry and bang bang chicken - had an overpowering vinegar taste, and the Nasi Goreng was mostly rice. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. If you do decide to go, stick to ordering tapas and burgers and avoid going on Saturdays. The decor, however, was nice."

"this restaurant is a hidden gem! the best Italian restaurant where we were in Britain so far! (confide in me, we love Italian food, and this restaurant food returned us back in sunny italia). I can't recommend it enough to eat is sooo amazing that after we ate, take away the rest of the menu we ordered, as they really want to try everything! Many thanks for such a good evening meal, long time we were looking for such good eating, service and atmosphere. See you soon!"

"Where do I start? The rice was cold and bland has no flavour what's do ever, I asked for meat Curry no veg, it came with veg and prawns, after spending 10 mins taking out all the veg there was less then half the box left!, The curry sauce was watery, and the sweet and sour was the worst we've ever tasted! The salt and pepper ribs were dry and tasteless, we asked for 2 big bottles of coke and they send 2 small ones, the only nice thing about it was the crackers and the chicken balls, definitely won't be back, waste of £40!!
