Steak dinner in Woking

“Amazing concept, great delicious food and the most attentive service that I have experienced at any restaurant. This about sums it up for me. This is a great & welcome addition to Cranleigh. We visited last night (Monday night). It was their first day after their busy weekend. We wanted to wait a couple of days until after the initial rush of people excited to try it out. They were quite busy for a Monday night and I saw the manager (whom I later found out was actually the owner covering for the manageress who was off sick) chatting with a couple of tables who had visited on the 1st or 2nd day. So clearly they are already having repeat customers which is always a great sign for a new restaurant. The table next to us was telling him how much they enjoyed the food, that they will be regularly coming back. I had the Chicken Fajitas it was perfect. The portion is huge and comes with a good amount of chips, coleslaw and a small side salad. Most other restaurants charge you extra for the coleslaw or salad. But here you get both for free with the dish. I've been to restaurants where you order a burger and it comes by itself on a plate with a side of chips. My friend had their burger, it came with 2 succulent Wagyu beef patties and it came with onion rings, salad and coleslaw. Again this was delicious. My other friend had the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. She said it was the best she's ever had. I can see some people have been complaining and moaning about the time it takes to get the food. Our starters (buffalo wings, cheese nachos and Halloumi fries) came within 12 minutes of us ordering them and they were all great. But we didn't have to to wait to start enjoying the food as when they give you the drinks, they bring out a sharing bowl of corn chips with delicious Salsa for you to enjoy while you wait for the food. And it's free. I think that's a great touch. In today's day and age, nobody gives you anything for free! Our mains came 15 minutes after we first got the starters which is good timing. I guess it would take longer for bigger tables which is understandable. The table next to us was a group of 7 adults and a little girl, with a really horrible lady. They got their drinks immediately after ordering and said they wanted to order the food after getting the drinks. Before even ordering, the lady asked the owner how long it would take for the food, he said it would be 25 to 30 minutes for the mains as it's a group of 8. The lady started complaining that this is not acceptable and that the child was hungry. It was shocking that the lady was complaining before she has even ordered! And the owner told her he would expedite the child meal before the adults. He said he'd rather be honest than lie and say 15 minutes when it would take longer. Another lady in the group said they would have to think about it and they were most likely going to leave without ordering and asked for a few minutes to discuss it. I could tell it was tense, but the owner was polite and told them it would be a shame for them to leave but if they decided to leave it would be fine. I couldn't believe what happened next. The owner went into the kitchen and came out 5 minutes later with a plate of chicken tenders, onions rings, chips and a salad and gave it to the mother of the little girl and said that he made it quickly for the little girl as she was hungry and that it was complimentary whether the group decides to stay for dinner or leave. He said he didn't want the little girl to leave hungry because he has daughters himself. The mother of the girl was appreciative and they eventually stayed for dinner. Honestly, I have not seen this level of service, and that in spite of the lady being extremely rude to the owner. He even brough a free slice of chocolate cake for the little girl. If I was in his shoes, i would just have let them leave!! Prices are not expensive as others have said and the value for money is much better than other places such as Richard Onslow. We would definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place.”

“I really love the Anchor. Such a fine example of a friendly, relaxed public house, and that view, it really is something to marvel. I often end up here just before the rush hour starts if the weather is nice . Weirdly I've never struggled to get a prime seat and have always been delighted by the service here. I highly recommend it to anyone looking at their watch and realising its pimms o'clock! Food looks great but that's something I am yet to try. I shall update that once I've returned but I'm sure it's just as good!”

“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.”
