Halliford Mere Lakes - Spelthorne

The restaurant has a stunning location and I have dined here before. However, the quality of the food this time was not great. My seabass was tasty but served with boiled broccoli and tasteless, overcooked carrots that did not complement the dish. The menu stated it came with boiled potatoes but they were fried. The seafood platter was very disappointing for the price of 28.50, with no marinade on the mussels and prawns still having poo tracks on them. Additionally, we were charged 29 pounds for 2 small bottles of prosecco and 2 pints of still water. It is now clear why we were able to get a table last minute.

We recently discovered this hidden gem of a restaurant, located near Halliford Mere. The cuisine offered is traditional and delicious, with a touch of style.

My wife woke up and decided we should go out for Sunday lunch so I googled “riverside restaurants near me” and got the best ever recommendation in The Halliford Mere Lakes. What a find. Fantastic customer service and superb food in a wonderful setting. Currently working off a reduced menu to enable chef to produce top quality dishes given the restrictions on supplies caused by the market and the heat. Clever use of the best ingredients available and enough choice to satisfy the most critical palate. We even managed a beautiful walk through the trout lakes before desert and delicious decaf filter coffee. Lots of extra brownie points for my choice of venue at short notice. We WILL be back!

What a lovely setting the restaurant is in it overlooks trout lakes. The young waitress serving us was charming. There was four of us I had the fish soup for starter's the broth could have done with a bit more flavour but the fish in it did followed by sea bass which was cooked to perfection as were the vegetables all the food was fresh and tasty. I would happily visit this place again.

Have passed the sign on number of occasions finally tried it out. We went with another couple today for lunch, very good venue, young lady serving friendly and polite, booking over the phone answered correctly by text as requested. Food was good, not a cheap meal but I think it was good value. We will definitely be going back. My only observation , the fish stock in the soup was a little bland, but that is just my opinion, I like a little kick, but otherwise my meal was good.
