"We have been going to Phil's at least once a month, as a payday treat. i call ahead of the lunchtime rush to book our order in, and then when we pick up there maybe be a little bit of a wait, but as the food is amazing you can understand them being super busy at lunch time and even more so during the summer months. I have recommended Phil's to most of the people i work with, it's a good payday treat that we all look forward to. We have never had any problems with the staff, i have found them to be very friendly, even when busy."

"So glad to have discovered this little gem of a place. A no frills cosy venue. Yesterday 3 of us had lunch here. We opted for the afternoon tea, which was amazing!!! A 3 tier stand arrived first of all with very fresh well filled sandwiches arranged with lots of equally fresh salad in between. And large bowl of plain crisps on the side. Then once we'd devoured that another stand came along with very large scones at the bottom... Which tasted like they had literally just been baked for us, with butter/clotted cream jam in ramakins at the top. The middle layer had an assortment of cakes (3 options) that we'd chosen from a good selection nearby. This was £19.75pp which considering how beautifully presented super fresh it was I think it was good value for money. I think we could have had endless tea or coffee included but we just had one each. Nonetheless I still think it was good value for what we had. There is also an excellent deli section, a freezer full of delights some good basics available to buy like bread/newspapers/greetings cards along with some luxury items like Silent Pool Gin and chutneys etc. What's not to love?!"

"I recommend this nice little cafe. It has a great ethos of buying ingredients from small local businesses. The owner is friendly and welcoming. The menu is simple and not overloaded with masses of different concoctions which works well and on most days there is...a special which the owner makes himself. Generally the cakes are locally sourced from local cake makers which you can tell as they are tasty and haven’t got that mass produced feeling about them. The quality of coffee is good and if I were to be fussy I would say I need to order a large latte as the coffee shot is too strong for me when ordering the small. Take the ethos of the owner and support your local business the quality and personal touch beat the chain stores hands down."

"In my earlier visit, the food was truly excellent, and the manager took the time to chat with me. However, I noticed that no one mentioned the loyalty program. I found the display and the card only after we had already spent £50, which was disappointing. Additionally, while discussing my experience, the manager brought up an inexperienced employee who was just a couple of feet away behind the bar. It's frustrating when points aren't recognized, especially when there should be better communication among staff. Overall, it's a great place to eat, but there are some areas for improvement in customer service."

"Four of us chose to book at The Victoria in Oxshott for our Sunday Lunch today. We rarely go out to eat as it is such a luxury these days and our usual choice The Onslow Arms in Clandon was full. We arrived at 12:45 to The Victoria and while there was a fire burning, it had not matured and the restaurant was a little chilly my wife kept her coat on for most of the meal . Our table was ready and our friends were already sitting at it. The Victoria is self designated as Fine Dining in Surrey yet there were no tablecloths something that is sadly lacking these days and yet, makes such a difference to the feel. As it was a Sunday, traditional roasts were available although chicken strangely was not. Only red meats available lamb, beef and pork yes, pork is, as you know, a red meat . My wife therefore chose fish and chips, one of us had the pork and the remainder, the beef. However, our friends also chose a starter each the soup and the beetroot/goats cheese mouse. The starters were enjoyed they were certainly presented well and apparently were very good . The mains arrived and I could see the disappointment on my wife 's face when a small battered piece of fish adorned the plate, placed in front of her. While it all tasted good, it was mostly batter the actual fish within was such that she had finished her dish before we were halfway through ours. At £26, it was rather insulting. The roasts were adequate but again, the amount of meat on our plates did not reflect the price it absolutely does not compare to other establishments. Deserts: we all had a desert a 'Marathon Bar, Aero, chocolate sorbet ' at £15 !!! , two of us had an unremarkable sticky toffee pudding ' £12 each but worth not much more than half that while my wife had the 'Pineapple carpaccio ' but she lucked out again as this was absolutely tiny! The service was adequate for which a service charge of £30 had been added to our bill . Summary This is not fine dining although the prices suggest it is. Having said that, the food was fine nothing special triple cooked roast potatoes were soggy not crunchy but the meat itself was tasty and perfectly cooked. Absolutely overpriced for what was provided there are so many better options available if you book in advance. Consequently, we would not return. A combined bill including a bottle of wine was virtually £270 far in excess of what we should be paying for four Sunday lunches. Parking: I did not park in a paid parking lot so it may be free on Sunday I do not know but there is not parking at the venue."
