"I met up with my brother Chris and his wife Jean this week and they chose their local Italian restaurant La Meridiana in East Horsley for our meal. It’s a lovely airy venue in a small Surrey village with comfortable chairs around roomy tables which have lovely white linen cloths and napkins. We received a prompt and friendly greeting from the staff and we decided on their Lunch Set Menu. For Starters we all chose Bianchetti Fritti(Deep-fried breaded whitebait with tartare sauce)which was hit, crispy and excellent. For Mains Jean chose Panciotti di Melanzana e Ricotta (v)(Stuffed pasta with Ricotta cheese eggplant with spinach puree cream sauce)which looked interesting. Chris went for Pollo Monte Bianco(Pan fried chicken breast with mushrooms sauce served with new potatoes)which looked appealing and they said they enjoyed their choices. I decided on Lasagna Al Forno(Layers of pasta with Bolognese sauce parmesan cheese, baked in the oven)which came piping hot and was a very authentic, generous and very tasty portion. We accompanied this with a very good Nero d'Avola for Chris and I and a Rosé for Jean. I decided to forgo Desserts because my delicious lasagne was very filling but Chris and Jean went for Homemade Tiramisu which looked amazing and they said was lovely. We finished with Italian coffee, double expressos for Chris and I, and an Americano for Jean. We all really enjoyed meeting up in a lovely restaurant!"

"My friend booked here for afternoon tea for 4 people and received confirmation. Upon arriving at 1 p.m on a Saturday afternoon the place was empty which was very surprising given that other nearby venues were crowded, they also didn't seem aware that we had booked for afternoon tea either. Alarms bells started to ring when the waitress asked for our drinks order my friend asked what type of teas there were, to which the reply was PG Tips and then she advised that she would see what the chef could put together. It got worse from there when the afternoon tea selection came out. Cheese and onion and some unidentifiable meat sandwiches, slices of quiche and a small selection of macarons,tiny doughnuts, scones and profiteroles minus the chocolate. It looked very unappealing so we decided that we didn't want to contemplate eating this and there was no way we were going to pay for this either. We decided to leave after speaking to the staff who in all honesty were very apologetic and said that we didn't have to pay for our teas and coffees even though we offered to pay for them. They even said we could still stay and eat what they'd brought out and we wouldn't have to pay but we politely refused. Please be very aware that the menu advertised on the website is NOT what we were served. How this place is still in business is beyond me.....just don't even bother going here."
