Places to Eat in Surrey

Surrey's dining scene runs from riverside pubs along the Thames at Staines-upon-Thames, Chertsey and Sunbury-on-Thames to village inns and country restaurants further into the county. Addlestone and Egham add a good spread of everyday options, from cafes to more formal dining, while smaller villages tend to centre on a single well-used pub that doubles as the local meeting point.

What suits best depends on the occasion. A riverside spot like those near Chertsey or Staines works well for a relaxed lunch or evening by the water, while pubs such as The White Bear or The Mulberry Inn offer the kind of proper Sunday roast and pint that anchors a village. Elsewhere, golf clubs and museums with cafes attached, like Kingswood Golf And Country Club or Haslemere Educational Museum, give useful options for combining a meal with something else.
