"Used to be good, but had a poor experience last night. We went as a family of four and had a meal in the left bank restaurant. The table service was quite poor and the bill had a £13 service charge slapped on automatically. The total bill was £126 plus tip, making £139. I left £130 truly believing it was sufficient under the circumstances. The waiter came back twice saying it wasn't enough money. I explained once that the service charge was optional and that I have left enough including an appropriate tip. This was rejected and the waiter again insisted I pay the full amount as it was not enough. I explained again about the tip. He came back yes again to query how I would make up the shortfall in the bill. I was forced to stand my ground and insist in front of everyone that I wasn't paying the full tip. Automatically slapping on £13 tip for poor service is one thing. To then repeatedly question and confront a customer over not paying the full tip in front of everyone is quite another thing altogether. I left the restaurant feeling both humiliation at the confrontation but also annoyance knowing that actually I was right. The tip is optional, discretionary, and voluntary. Putting it automatically on the bill could be seen as a helpful reminder, thank you, if you want to see it that way, but repeatedly insisting it is paid and that I have made a mistake in leaving a smaller tip and ignoring my explanation is just plain wrong."

Plenty of choice for all three courses with good service. Eat as much as you can for £38 plus drinks. Nice walk along the river and lock after the food.

The meals and service were beyond my expectations. I surely liked the environment of this restaurant. Fantastic restaurant to take my family out for lunch.

This is the main restaurant at the awesome Runnymede hotel, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had several meals here during our hotel stay in December 2021, with the food absolutely fantastic every time. The staff were always smiling and helpful, making for an amazing experience. Well done to all the kitchen and wider team for being so awesome!

Gorgeous buffet style restaurant, but not your average buffet! There is so much choice of starters, soup, pasta sltation, noodles station, mains buffet with 3 or 4 coices including fish and vege options. The dessert table is to die for though, wear elasticated waist!! Have a stroll along the Thames after dinner to get your digestion working! Rexommend for fussy eaters and special occassions. Book well in advance!

I have been coming here for years. The starters and desserts selection are great and incredibly delicious. The Sunday roasts are just OK for me now. When you have to argue with the chef that you want it rear, and he says that 's all he has (well done, not even medium), when you can see in the back, 10 more roast pieces, you wonder. Attitude for him was more important than service. The service otherwise is great. Except for that younger chef ...

Fresh, diverse buffet of English/French/Mediterranean catering to all likes. An excellent venue for any occasion with an impeccable drinks list, ranging from the healthy smoothies to the fine whiskeys and cognac. The kitchen staff are well versed in the food production, give great descriptions and provide excellent recommendations. I love this restaurant. The food selection is presented elegantly and the depth of flavor is very impressive. 5 stars that are well deserved. Thank you very much.

Booked in for dinner but very disappointed, food was cold, tasteless and dry. £68 for 2 people without drinks I expected a lot more. Not many options or varieties, the only thing that was nice was the two tiny bits of lamb we were given. Desserts were awful and dry. Also had breakfast which was slightly better but still not worth it for the price. Scrambled egg is tasteless watery mush with a crust on top, 4 different types of bacon that taste the same and full of fat. The sausages however were lovely. I'd say for that price range it's one of the worst meals we have had.

We have been visiting Runnymede Left Bank for over 7 years, and in recent experience the quality, options and service has deteriorated massively. Especially, if you have gluten intolerance, options are very limited. I remember from years ago, where the on demand mains were prepared with flavours, fresh and good quality. My latest experience was a disaster, where vegetarian main options were roasted peppers, flavourless pasta and greasy pizza. I would highly recommend the management to consider a different, fresh and latest menu with more vegan, vegetarian and free from options. Not changing with times is not an option and I would be really sad to see if they don’t do keep up with changing co...
