Cuisine inspiration in Esher

“Have dined a number of times and never been disappointed. As it was bonfire night a friend and I decided to get a takeaway. The food was beautiful, hot, with all the right spices, making it the same as if dined in. What was exceptional was that 2/3 minutes after opening the takeaway bag I realised that one item was incorrect but as we liked this starter anyway we decided not to bother to do anything. However the phone went and panorama rang, full of apologies and sent a driver out with the item we had ordered. I said it didn’t matter but they insisted. I thought this was great customer service. Amazing food, never disappointed completed with great customer service by lovely people”

“Yet another delicious meal at Cotes, Esher. Atmosphere is always welcoming, staff are extremely friendly and professional. The place is always clean, service excellent and good value for money.”

“This is a large brand new quality Café, situated south facing on to a cricket pitch. Hence why its called the Pavilion There is plenty of inside tables, outside tables & chairs and bench tables. There's also bike stands. The cafe is about 50m from the children's play area. The service is excellent, with a wide choice of usual cafe style items. It will officially open April 25th, but is actually open already.”

“My husband and I had dinner here last night, and we were very pleasantly surprised. There was a menu stacked with options, and normally this is a cause for concern because you can't get that many things right. Except that they did. We tried two of their specials: the prawn croquetas and the goat's cheese filled courgette flowers, which were both brilliant and absolutely moreish. We also gad a delicious runny tortilla, pan con tomato, chipirones, lamb pinchos and berenjenas from the main menu. It felt like being in Spain. The recipies were authentic, and you can tell that the chef does not skimp on ingredients. The service was warm and friendly and quite professional. It did not feel like they had only been open for a few weeks. They had a reasonable wine menu which worked with the food. Definitely our new local date night spot!”

“Packed, toasted sandwiches No nonsense!! Recommended”

“Huge fan Spanish food so thought I would give this place a try for lunch on a Saturday. Really pleased I did. Loved the modern take on traditional Spanish Tapas. Ordered 6 items from the Tapas menu between two adults and each one was fantastic. Had kids with us too and they all cleared their plates although these were more traditional Brit offerings of burgers and sausage. One of the kids has a soya allergy and the waitress provided an allergens chart which was very helpful. Will return and highly recommend!”

“Had a great night with the family for my daughter’s birthday. Great quality asian fusion food, very fresh tasting curries and good cocktails! It was also to party and dance there after your meal with the resident DJ. Thanks to all the team at Pounding Heart for looking after us.”
