Best Modern European Restaurants in Walton-on-the-Hill

Had a really great experience! Took my partner out for lunch and as he is a coeliac it was the perfect spot but even for me who can eat gluten loved the food and wouldn’t have known any better. Highly recommend and the lady serving was very friendly and accommodating

Still our favourite restaurant in the world. What Sarah and Eric don’t know about fine dining hospitality isn’t worth knowing. Perfection every visit.

Inspite of the rain a warm smile awaited us at the Lighthouse. There are a selection of round, oblong and Square tables in this bustling restaurant. The menu caters for all tastes and the waitress was knowledgable on all the dishes. A tea candle was lit and our evening commenced. My partner chose the ham hock & veg broth and I had the salad of feta, beetroot, apple, fig salad vinaigrette. Both a good size and tasty. My companion chose chicken with veg and chips and I had the steamed hake . I chose some greens as a side to share. Both plates came within a reasonable time and were beautifully cooked . My rice pudding with warm plum jam was devine! There is a pleasant level of chatter but it's not intrusive . The cost reflects the quality of the food and service. We have been eating here for many years and have never been disappointed.

The food was presented beautifully, and the service was great. The flavours and combinations were delicious, some small issues but made the chef aware and they took it on board gracefully. Also, there was no a la carte menu which was a little disappointing as we had planned what we wanted to order, but only a set menu was available on the day. The octopus was deliciously tender and flavoursome! And although the portions looked small, we were so full we didn't make it to dessert. Would expect the surf and turf to be a larger portion for the extra supplement of £15, not much meat, but we were still full at the end of the main course. The staff were very pleasant and friendly and as we were the only ones there we were waited on hand and foot, planning to go back when it is busier for sure. The cocktails were quite yummy and the restaurant is very smart looking, but the toilet area needs work. Thank you to the whole team for being so attentive and welcoming!

A lovely restaurant with great choice and quality of food. Service is excellent too. Best restaurant in Richmond in my view.
