Cool, Kitsch and Fun!
I went here for a private party and the loved it from the very first moment of walking through the door. The staff were extremely good. The owner Lorraine, used to run Sticky Fingers and it def has the whole rock and roll chick theme. You can imagine Kate Moss sipping her drink whilst chatting to Marianne Faithful about rock star boyfriends.
I loved it and would really recommend this as a brilliant place to come.

Great Italian food
This is a local chain, they have a couple of other restaurants including one right opposite the castle in Windsor.
I have been here quite a few times and its an inexpensive night out for a more independant feeling meal rather than Ask, Zizzi's and the like.
The choice on the menu is extensive and they also have a specials board. I have had the pasta with chilli and seafood which excellent and also the sea bass which was good too.

Nice spot in the summer!
A riverside location is always a bonus on a summer's day.
I had a glass of pimms and didn't eat, but saw that a lot of people were eating and it all looked very good. The bar staff were average, they didn't offer a tray for a large round of drinks and ignored me at first, but nothing major.
The car park next door which I think belongs to the train station is very pricey so try and find something on the road if you can.
The clientele seemed a mixture of trendy youngsters and older couples, which I tend to think means the food is probably good as it appeals to wide selection of people.
I would def go back and try their menu.

Great food and wine!
We have been here a couple of times and had a great time. The last time it was great weather so we could sit outside, which was gorgeous, and gave you a whole feel of the continental lifestyle!
I had the seabass and it was awesome. The fish otpions were varied which makes a change.
We had a couple of bottles of the chateau neuf de pape and I would really recommend this as a good price and an excellent wine.
The service was good. I noticed in the previous reviews they said it was packed with younger people on their way out for a night, this is true, but the bar area is seperate to the dining room, so if you are going for dinner, don't let this put you off.
Some friends of mine went there on a first date, which I always think is a good testament, the right mix of atmosphere but quite enough to talk!

Yummy!!!!
This is the best Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. The service is exceptional, the staff get to know regualrs and go out of their way to come and speak to you. I have been going with my family for donkeys years and have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and all sorts. Its a bit more expensive than the average restaurant but well worthwhile as the food is amazing. i would really recommend the drunken fish, the chicken and cashew nuts in yellow bean sauce and the duck! I am salivating writing this!

Great portions!
This is a really fab place for lunch or breakfast. The lady that runs the restaurant is very friendly and very pleasant. She loves animals and children, I have even taken my little dog into the restaurant and she gave him a sausage!
The food is excellent quality, and they have terrific portion sizes.
Its a bit pricier than a lot of cafes but well worth it.

great place for birthdays!
I have been there for several birthdays and my sister had her 30th there too. Its a great place as there is something for everyone. Upstairs is a normal bar/pub. I believe they do food, but have never eaten up here. The middle section is a live music venue. There are some great acts that appear here, including some famous ones, I saw Jamie Cullum and Tower of Power. They offer a semi-set menu and its a dinner and dance type affair.
The lowest floor is the nightclub. They seem to have the right mix of cheesy floor fillers and more trendy music.
I would really recommend this if you want to arrange a group night out.

Great location
I hadn't been here for about 15 years, and went on a really sunny day with my family including my 3 year old nephew. The location is superb, right on the river overlooking weybridge. Its a great place when the sun is shining, but insdide is quite dark and 'pubby' so don't know if I would like to go there in the winter.
We all ate and it was pub grub, not gastro by any means. Everything was absolutely fine, not outstanding but very edible. A great place to go on a sunny afternoon!

Average Indian
I had heard excellent reviews of this Indian restaurant, so when we moved to the area I couldn't wait to try it out. However, I was taken aback by how greasy the food was. In particualr if you get a takeaway, it is very noticeable.
The menu contains the old favourites.
Its a very quaint setting, in a building that was once the village school, hence the name.
Its very popular, you generally have to book on Saturdays.

Tastless takeaway
I wouldn't recommend this unless it is the only place open and you are starving hungry!
When we first moved to the area we had a take away from here. Its not too expensive and the food comes in the tupperware type containers. However, it is very bland, the sauces don't taste like I think they should and there seems to be a lack of meat in the dishes. The phad thai noodles are about the only thing that tasted recognisable.
