Classic cocktails in Woking

“First time we ordered and couldn’t have been more happier. Delicious fresh food! Will definitely be ordering again.”

“Absolutely amazing, no words. Tried rare med ribs eyes and Pialard salad and for dessert frozen berry with vanilla sauce. Will go again and again”

“Great place for sports, rugby one end football the other. Staff seemed to be friendly, however my family sorted out the afternoon requirements, beer, felt relaxed and the time went so quickly. We will be back soon. Keep the good work up.”

“Had a great experience here last night with friends. There was 4 of us and 2 babies… they made sure they gave us a table with plenty of space for the pushchairs and were very accommodating. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and had a good atmosphere... also felt it was very reasonable price wise. There was also a few parking spots out the front too! Will definitely be visiting again!”

“Excellent hearty food and very tasty. No hesitations in ordering again, just good quality home style cooked food. The pork shish kebab is brilliant and the soup (Solyanka) is delicious.”

“First time at this restaurant, and we were very satisfied with the food, wonderful food, wonderful drinks, the service was very good. I recommend”

“Wonderful food, wonderful hosts, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The rice is absolutely divine. The mashdi bademjan is delicious. The chai is great. Will definitely be coming again to get some local and authentic Persian food.”

“A really excellent meal. The stand out dishes were our starters - beef carpaccio which was excellent and an equally good trout in Thai green curry. So good in fact that I forgot to take photos and just ate them instead! Did remember to take pics of the main course though.”

“This place has it all! Just listen to the sound of my posted videos :) The best flavour for Chinese food. Once a week they visit our campus at Reading Uni and serve us traditional, delicious dishes. It works like a lifesaver at uni to have such a special restaurant serving at hour place. I usually go with porkbelly or beef with noodles. The meat is always soft and incredibly good spiced. The noodles absorb the sauce perfectly. I add spicy and sesame sauce along with cilantro and crushed peanuts as a topping. Definitely a must go if you are on Thursdays at Reading Uni or Wokingham.”

“A gem of a good old fashioned pub! Warmly welcomed by the Landlady and the locals drinking there, also met the Landlord later, again very friendly. If you’re looking for a gastro-pub this probably isn’t for you, but if want a drink in a great pub with atmosphere and friendly locals then look no further, highly recommended.”

“We love going to the Jovial. The team are always absolutely lovely and go out of their way to make you feel as welcome as possible. We popped down for Mother's Day and enjoyed the carvery with a group of 14. Big shout out to James for helping with our numerous table size adjustments (and always with a smile), and to Mark for the food which was absolutely top notch!”

“Music in the Marsh was fantastic, a great mix of different bands and well organised. Fabulous fun atmosphere. Had a fab afternoon.”

“My wife and I have visited the Crown and Anchor on a few occasions since the new owners have taken over and always had a lovely time but have never sampled the food. On Saturday 1st October we booked lunch with 9 family members to get together for my dads birthday who we sadly lost 13 years ago. The food was out of this world, all home cooked. I had the cheese burger which I have to say was up there with the best I have ever had. Lasagna, pizzas, Halloumi burger and the liver and bacon were ordered (dads favourite, which my mum had and said was incredible, her words). Everyone said how amazing their food was. (Kids food was great too). The beers we ordered were perfect, these guys really do know what they are doing.m when it comes to pouring the perfect pint. Can’t rate and thank Wendy and her team highly enough. Nothing was too much, we really did feel like royalty. The tribute to dad was incredible. It was the perfect place to go with Wendy and her Husband Marco being Crystal Palace fans as so are we as a family. Wendy put a palace scarf on the table and put a pint there for dad. It’s these sort of touches that mean so much. We told them we would be bringing our German Shepherd with us and we couldn’t believe what they did, a lovely bed at the end of the table for him to chill in. We also ordered a lovely dinner for him which he really enjoyed. Such a lovely dog friendly pub. The play kids area is amazing, kept the little ones entertained for ages. Wendy even set up an art and craft table for the two little ones while we had our lunch as they had theirs first, again kept them entertained. She ended up being like the pied piper with all the kids in the pub following her around. She took them down to the river that runs along the back of the amazing garden to feed the ducks and swans. So way and above. Again, thank you so much guys for the most amazing afternoon, we really can’t thank you enough. I urge everyone to try this pub, you will not be disappointed. And lastly let’s not forget the barman (sorry, didn’t catch your name), amazing service, always remembered each round and couldn’t do enough for us. One last thing, The Crown and Anchor take food allergies really seriously, there are no nuts on the premises, so if any of you have an allergy, another reason to try this wonderful pub. Thanks again and we are really looking forward to seeing you soon.”

“The exceptionally handsome manager (think his name was Josh) that served me was an absolute dream. We ordered too much food and he kindly got takeaway boxes and packaged everything up for us. Even gave directions and recommendations for things to do in the evening! Wish I could have taken him home instead of the food”

“We had a really lovely time there, the female waitress with pigtails was the most friendly and very helpful, all the staff couldn't do more for us”

“First visit today to meet a friend for breakfast. They have a nice selection of breakfast options on the menu all freshly cooked once ordered. The staff were very nice and we had a warm welcome when we arrived. The service was excellent and very attentive. The food was very good and generous portion sizes, You also get unlimited toast and preserves with your order though we couldn't eat too much of that as the main meal was so filling. It was reasonably priced too, there were 4 of us and it worked out at £9 per head when the bill came. Will certainly go again we had a nice visit and a good first experience.”
