GGA This was my first time here and everything I ordered was delicious. The staff were also friendly and the place was clean. The street the restaurant is located on is lovely, so you can spend time there too.

Fatma Ulusoy We had a fantastic dining experience here. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavour and freshly prepared. The portions were very generous and definitely satisfying. The price was also very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and the presentation was beautiful. We will definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food!

Maria Carolina Neves This place is so amazing. Every time I go it’s super busy. Marcio & crew always deliver the best Brazilian food. I’ve been a customer for year and can clearly see how much love there’s in each dish.

j Reviewing the cafe: loved it. We were actually looking at the menu in the window of a different cafe, when we fell into conversation with a woman, and she recommended Crates to us. So thank you, whoever you were. It’s a quaint and cosy little establishment. They do the sort of things that you might expect a corner cafe to do; but they also sprinkle in some interesting little treats. They also strongly favour local produce. I had a jacket potato with locally sourced crab and prawns - delicious and not something that you often see. Good coffee, good service, good value. Thinking through what I would normally include in a review of a cafe: there are a lot of vegetarian options on the menu; there isn’t really a children’s menu (but there is a doggy menu); and there are steps into the cafe (but level access to the outdoor tables).

Molly Curtis Loved Fran’s cooking class! Made some delicious food and learnt so much from it. Can’t wait to recreate the recipes at home!

Shipra Suman Garsons Garden Centre in Esher is a long-established and well-known destination for plant lovers, garden enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys a good day out. With roots stretching back over 150 years, it’s much more than a typical garden centre — it’s a combined garden centre, farm shop, restaurant and pick-your-own farm experience. The centre offers a huge range of plants, gardening supplies, outdoor furniture, gifts and homeware, and the sprawling layout means there’s plenty to browse. Many visitors enjoy exploring the colourful plant displays and browsing the farm shop’s seasonal produce and specialist foods. During festive seasons like Christmas, Garsons is particularly popular thanks to its award-winning displays and decorations, making it feel more like a seasonal event than just a shopping trip. Facilities Parking: There’s on-site parking available for visitors, making it easy to stop by whether you’re browsing plants or picking up lunch. (Standard for garden centres of this size.) Toilets: Public toilets and baby-changing facilities are available within the garden centre/shop areas, though facilities on the PYO farm itself may be limited or a short walk away. Family Friendly: There are seasonal events and a small outdoor play area, which are popular with families, especially during school holidays.
