Very fine Persian café Exceptionally good value place with a spectacular bread baking cabaret. Go for the mixed starters and the mixed grill platter. Not licensed but BYO from the off licence next door.

A good value “Italian” with excellent service and half sized portions! Short and exciting list of daily specials. No booking ( unless you have a party of 6+) and you may have to wait if you don’t get there early.

Open daily at noon

Large (Wetherspoon’s) with outstandingly cheap (by Surbiton Standards) beer and very good value food. A fine and cheap night out. The only minor quibble is that the beer is a little cold for English curmudgeons. Opposite Surbiton Station

Open all day

Fine, old fashioned, pub with a small range of authentic (not cheap) English beers. A board of English cheeses complements the beer and the cows which produce the cheese are known to the owner. Lots of character.

Open from noon till late.
