Restaurant with a heart in Banstead

“Always a friendly welcome and good service: food was excellent today and full of flavour. The juices were particularly nice, the left one being The Trajner with lots of fruit, kale and chilli.”

“This restaurant is consistently great. Excellent food, helpful staff, very pleasant setting, parking available nearby. Highly recommended”

“Had a problem with a pizza earlier this month (day of England game) which arrived a little cold. Manager was very apologetic and of course shop was very busy and agree to send a replacement for next order. Just delivered the replacement and was hot!)”

“Have been two times before an afternoon walk in Banstead woods. Tried various omelettes and a bacon and egg sandwich, all were lovely. The omelette with sides is a big portion which I share with my 4 year old. It's my aim to return and try the delicious looking scones. There's only one toilet which can result in small waits but it was relatively clean. Environment busy but comfortable and pleasant on the eye.”

“Visited for first time today. Excellent service. Food arrived quickly and was first class. Definitely will be returning.”

“Always good food freshly cooked and fairly good portions, only minor gripe is the tables are tiny. Fantastic coffee.”

“We have dined in twice recently now, and ordered two takeaways for delivery. We've tried a variety of dishes (me chicken, partner seafood) and have really enjoyed the meals, whether in the restaurant or as takeaways. Friendly service and great food at very reasonable prices. Restaurant is un-licensed so is BYOB. Highly recommended.”

“My husband and I had a breakfast here today and all the staff were so welcoming and friendly.service was excellent and our cooked breakfasts were so reasonable and the best breakfast we've had out in ages.very clean and will definitely come here again.”

“This was our first time at Ciao Italia and it was worth the journey. The mackerel starter from the specials board was the stand out dish. We had a lovely bottle of wine and the staff were warm and attentive. Great meal.”

“I love this place! The service is impeccable, with the staff being friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing! Always busy so be prepared to wait. It's worth it though!”

“Visited the Caffè last Sunday with my family for a Sunday brunch. The choice of food and drinks was excellent and I personally had fried eggs on toast which was delicious. Service and atmosphere was very good and if you're in Banstead it's well worth a visit. Will definitely be returning”

“We travel quite a distance to come and have very tasty Fish and Chips at Seine Rigger. On this and many other occasions we have been very looked after by Sam and James who go out of their way to make sure we are well and truly looked after.”

“I have had 100 chinese in this area and others and this is hands down the best. Freshest and less salty than others! I love it, new favourite.”

“Chicken shish was nice, lamb shish cooked to absolute perfection. Chilli sauce well worth a mention too. We'll definitely be back!”

“Best roast dinner in Banstead!!! Delicious and great portion size. Definitely worth the money, great service and atmosphere. Will be back”

“Visited for the first time 3 weeks ago with friends for dinner. Excellent food and service. Lots of choices for starters and main meals, which is even better if you go in a large group, as you can try various dishes. Worth a return.”

“Very nice bar&restaurant with great deco and food. Lamb leg is divine. Portion not too big though”

“Lovely food here. Staff are great. The interior is nice looking. Spot on!”

“Moved in this area this week and got recommended by a friend and found their food very lovely and awesome price x Can’t wait to order again!”

“I found all the staff in this branch very friendly and polite and Elton is superb when it comes to customer service”

“Absolutely fantastic food and service. Super accommodating of allergens, loads of veggie options. I genuinely do not understand how this place has any negative reviews. I've ordered from here several times, so here is a breakdown of my experience with them: 1. They have a huge selection of proper vegetarian dishes, whereas most other Chinese takeaways have little-to-nothing. 2. The staff were extremely accommodating of my partner's gluten intolerance, going out of their way to double-check our chosen dishes with the chef, provide allergen information, express their concern over the suitability of other low-gluten dishes etc. and just generally made us feel like they actually care whether he would get sick or not. 3. The food itself is delicious. I mean really, really good. It arrived piping hot, portion sizes were great, and it had clearly only just been cooked (as opposed to pre-made then reheated) because the vegetables were vibrant and still had a lovely crunch to them instead of being pale and soggy. 10/10, highly recommended!”
