Smoky Resto Lounge - (Near , london)

Cathy Williams On a recent visit to the UK, I got lost at night on Saturday 15 December. It was dark and raining hard. I ended up in the Liphook Service Station and asked for directions. The two staff members went out of their way to assist, printing out a map and talking me through the best route. Their kindness, caring and courtesy was exceptional. I would like to thank them personally for helping me get safely to my destination. And thank you Shell - this really is a service station.

Shay Owode MimiAnn Kitchen absolutely blew us away! They catered and provided waiters for our wedding of over 500 guests, and I honestly can’t put into words how grateful we are for the incredible service they delivered. From our very first conversation, Aunty Bola (the owner) made such a wonderful impression. She was kind, professional, and genuinely interested in understanding us as a couple and what we envisioned for our big day. She didn’t just take our brief and run with it, she took the time to ask questions, listen carefully, and make sure every detail was thought through. Her communication was always clear and timely, and it gave us so much confidence knowing that she had everything under control. And the food, wow! Every single dish was delicious. Guests kept telling us after the wedding how much they loved the food. The flavours, the presentation, the freshness, everything was top notch! You could really taste the care and passion that went into it. The service on the day was also amazing. The waitstaff were polite, attentive, and so efficient. Despite the size of the crowd, everything ran smoothly so there was no stress, no confusion, just great service and smiles all round. What really stood out to us was how the team respected the venue’s kitchen space. They actually left it cleaner than they found it, which says everything about their standards and professionalism. But honestly, what made the whole experience truly special was Aunty Bola herself. She’s one of the sweetest people you could ever hope to work with - calm, reassuring, and so full of warmth. You can tell she really loves what she does and cares deeply about making her clients happy. MimiAnn Kitchen didn’t just provide catering for our wedding, they helped create an experience. Everything about the food, the service, and the people behind it reflected excellence and heart. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. If you want your event to run smoothly, your guests to be raving about the food, and to work with someone who genuinely cares, look no further than MimiAnn Kitchen. They made our day unforgettable, and we’ll always be thankful.

Yaelle Candolfi GLUTEN FREE RECOMMENDATION. Most dishes are gluten free including desserts! It’s understated as they don’t indicate on the board but do ask - the waiter and chef are on top of it. The starters especially are really inventive and all the ones we tried so far are absolutely delicious. Can’t recommend it enough.

Sam Mackay Didnt stay here but ate at the restaurant. A Truly exceptional evening. We consider ourselves foodies and love nothing more than good food in great venues. This passes with flying colours. The service was really brilliant, attentive , friendly staff from the door to the table and beyond. Everyone was great. The food is delicious, elevated farm to table vibes, starters were decent enough, but mains and beyond were where it excelled ,.with some outstanding gnocchi and steak. The decor is beautiful, the surround area and building gorgeous. Genuine one of my favourite hotel restaurants in the country. Make sure to try the croissant fritters with the van de constance desert wine for afters if they have it. Absolute chefs kiss to end a wonderful mean. And also if you can lounge in the library /lounge area after for a little tipple to send you on your way. Wonderful place we will for sure visit again one day

Chris Diepstraten Very cute little place in a beautiful terrace. The food is well-priced and very tasty, although don’t leave it to the last minute as they run out as the day goes on! Sitting outdoors on the quiet road in summer is idyllic.
