"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!"

"We booked and attended during COVID times so please bear that in mind when reading. The wifi didn 't work and there was nothing to say that they knew of the problem, so spent ages (add did many others because mobile reception is poor in the area) trying to log in to order food and check in with the COVID app before asking and finding it would just say 'connecting please wait '. We ordered and then waited 90 minutes for the food. Shortly after ordering a burger we were told that they had run out of all burgers. A short time later another table had the same response but then were told that they had one left. The food was OK but certainly not up to the prices quoted. The soup was luke warm and in desperate need of seasoning. Mac and cheese tasted like it had come from a tin. It possibly hadn 't but that was the impression. The pork curry tasted like pork in blitzed tinned tomatoes with some onion and pepper to give some spice. Again, needed seasoning. Just nothing special. They did provide (unrequested) some free bread and dipping oils whilst we were waiting. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant. The Deverill beer, a local ale was excellent and tasted well conditioned. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant. The pub was scrupulously clean with good COVID compliance. We would go back to give them a second chance these are difficult times especially for the hospitality trade."
