Best Restaurants for Foodies in Walton-On-Thames

Incredible pizza, lovely place and great service. Check out their deli a few doors down as well!

What do you really want from a restaurant? Maybe a warm welcome, comfortable and stylish atmosphere, attentive service, talented chef, knowledgeable sommelier, clean toilets? Sounds easy but so often I’m disappointed by places that can’t deliver these basic elements. Clava, in West Byfleet, opened a couple of years ago by Chef Valentino, does all of this with effortless competence. It becomes self-evident when you’re eating food that takes years of training and practice, days of preparation and moments of brilliance to deliver. It doesn’t want or need Michelin praise, it’s so good. I hesitate to share this because I want to be able to get a table before word gets out. Try it while you can.

Always a pleasure eating at Roots, the service is exemplary and the curry’s are beautifully prepared and not the generic brown sauce that you get given at other Indian restaurants in our area…a must for curry lovers.

The food was presented beautifully, and the service was great. The flavours and combinations were delicious, some small issues but made the chef aware and they took it on board gracefully. Also, there was no a la carte menu which was a little disappointing as we had planned what we wanted to order, but only a set menu was available on the day. The octopus was deliciously tender and flavoursome! And although the portions looked small, we were so full we didn't make it to dessert. Would expect the surf and turf to be a larger portion for the extra supplement of £15, not much meat, but we were still full at the end of the main course. The staff were very pleasant and friendly and as we were the only ones there we were waited on hand and foot, planning to go back when it is busier for sure. The cocktails were quite yummy and the restaurant is very smart looking, but the toilet area needs work. Thank you to the whole team for being so attentive and welcoming!

The food was delicious as usual . The service was excellent. All in all great value for money as well. We will definitely come back again and again .
