The Ashley Park — Restaurant in Elmbridge

Overall the Ashley is great value for money and my son and I will visit now and then as a treat. Over the years it has been one of our favourites places to go. However, on our last visit we discovered since recent menu changes, if you order from the daytime fixed menu the portion sizes are smaller than that of the evening fixed menu and the difference is noticeable! Also, if you order some items on the menu you end up paying extra even if they are part of the fixed offering. The kids menu is reasonable but is really only suitable for up to 10 year olds at a push. Overall the service is great and Tracey ( a new edition to the team) made sure that the service was on point especially when the order came and portion sizes were not up to scratch. The food was cooked to perfection (for us) and tasted great. The atmosphere as always was good and with children and dogs both welcome and being opposite the train station, it is ideal if you want to stop off on the way back from your travels. However, the outside area is paved and not very big but it is there! Overall, well worth a visit if you are in the area and have never...

I don’t normally give reviews but I stayed at the Travelodge next door and thought I’d come in to get some dinner as it was quick and easy. There was a lot of variety on the menu and I hesitantly went for a salad because I’m trying to eat healthy, but normally salads I order and pubs are underwhelming to say the least. I got the avocado and grains salad and added a chicken skewer and sweet potato falafels. I was really impressed with the size and quality of the salad, it was very filling and I loved those falafels. I couldn’t finish it all because of how much it filled me up so I had to leave some but it wasn’t just a bland salad you usually get it actually had dressing and was filling. Tom was the waiter serving me and he was the loveliest person I’ve encountered in a pub/restaurant. He was really friendly and as I was dining alone he made me feel at ease and comfortable and really made me happy with how attentive he was to what I wanted. Tracy behind the bar was also lovely, warm and welcoming and I would definitely come here again and bring the family next time. Thank you for a lovely...

The Christmas Day menu states on Turkey main course: Stuffing ball, pigs in blankets , roast parsnips and roast carrots - none of these were present on our 3 plates . What was included were small squares of parsnips and squares of carrots , which were not roasted and they were so very hard one was unable to even prong them with a fork let alone eat them. The sprouts were soggy and full of water when cut open As for the roast potatoes they tasted musty as though they had been cooked previously and kept warm for some time. My wife and I plus my elderly mother were so upset with such very poor food, I asked to speak with the manager. Unfortunately , before I could actually say more than I was making a complaint regarding the meal , he promptly produced a list of clients, and told me that out of all the diners no one else had complained ! In fact he was immediately on the offensive, and there was little point in even trying to say any of the above. Very unprofessional behaviour and...
