The Bridge Grill Restaurant 1 Cross Road, Tadworth KT20 5SP

"We ate here last night. We were booked for 10 people however one of our guests did not turn up because they had Covid. I was a little disappointed as the portions were quite small. It was the first time we’ve ever eaten here so I don’t know if it was just bad luck. I ordered my meal and a side dish to come with it. My meal turned up and no side dish. My meal definitely needed the side dish with it as it was quite small. I had to wait a further 15 minutes for my side order. By this time my meal would’ve been cold. They had forgotten the side order so it had to be prepared. I asked if they could take my meal back and heat it or keep it warm. By the time I got mine everyone else had finished. It was actually my birthday so a little disappointed to eat on my own. They don’t offer soda water on tap. So a soda water with your drink was nearly £4. We had chosen this venue because we understood there would be a belly dancer as was looking for a party experience. We were sad to find out there was no belly dancer and no explanation for why she did not make an appearance. Three of us wanted the lamb shank and and the restaurant had run out. We were booked for 730 and would’ve ordered by 8 pm. I did get the lamb shank which in itself was beautiful however should’ve come with mash and there was absolutely no mash instead there were three tiny little new potatoes. Thankfully the side order I had chosen was sauté potatoes. I have eaten in many similar restaurants with the same cuisine. And all though the quality of food was good. I do feel you need to look at your portion sizes. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The food was nice but just not enough of it. In your response to my daughters review you have said you have a policy for no children in the evening. We did ask if children were allowed and you said this was okay. Our children sat at the table and didn’t move from their seats and were impeccably behaved. The staff were really nice I can’t fault them. It is very rare that I feel the need to leave a negative review and I really hope that you can improve on this because you do have a lovely restaurant."

"The staff were really nice and the layout/decor was great. I did think they had a belly dancer on a Saturday but unfortunately they seemed a little quiet and no dancer in the two hours we were there. Food wise what we ate was nice but the portions are ridiculously small. We had wished we ordered a few sides with our mains however when paying £22 for a dish you shouldn’t really need to. I also wished we hadn’t bothered ordering the sharer platter starter as it had 8 items on it (4 each as was a platter for 2) for £18 seemed a bit extortionate. I personally wouldn’t go again as I didn’t feel we got value for money with the bill coming in at £364 for 9 of us (7 adults and two kids). Big thanks to the staff though for bringing out the birthday cakes and making us feel special. Just a shame prices aren’t more reasonable."

"An excellent meal in a lovely restaurant. I had the lamb and chicken shish kebab, and it was delicious. Treated myself to the flourless chocolate cake for dessert, which was rich but not too heavy. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the service was good too. Highly recommend."

"Great food - a combination of authentic Turkish dishes with other Mediterranean influenced options. The staff were very accommodating and aware of dietary requirements. Have been twice now and enjoyed it both times, will definitely be back again!"
