Deborah Bynre It’s great to see Thai food back on form in Reigate with the reopening of JusThai, formerly known as Thai Taste. The previous restaurant was sorely missed locally, so I was eager to try a takeaway and see if the magic was still there , I’m happy to say it absolutely is. I started with the duck spring rolls, which were excellent. The filling was rich and juicy with plenty of flavour, wrapped in a crisp shell that had clearly been cooked fresh rather than sitting around waiting to be reheated. For the main, I chose chicken chilli basil with steamed rice. I asked if the kitchen could prepare the chicken in the traditional Thai street-food style , finely chopped and add extra chilli and they were more than happy to accommodate. This attention to authenticity really paid off. The dish had a wonderful balance of heat, savoury depth, and fragrant basil, delivering that unmistakable Thai street-food character. The steamed rice was also perfectly cooked, light, fluffy, and distinct grain by grain, which is often overlooked but makes all the difference. Even as a takeaway, the food was still piping hot by the time I got home, which speaks to the care in preparation and packaging. If this meal is anything to go by, JusThai is a very welcome return to the Reigate food scene and one I’m very happy to see back.

Tom Raffield As a family, we are always on the lookout for a decent breakfast. Bills has been on our radar for a while but when the kids said they were keen on pancakes, we decided to dive in and give it a go. We booked the night before and headed over in the morning. The place was really busy and had a steady turnover of people whilst we ate. We were seated and told, as it was a busy time, we had an 80 minute table time. This was not an issue as breakfast would never be a long affair for us but might be off putting for some as we were not told in advance. Our order was taken swiftly and everything arrived in good time. Two cooked breakfasts, an adult 3-stack pancakes (for our 7 year old) and a child pancakes (for our 5 year old) were dropped off at our table for us to tuck into. The food was cracking, really tasty and plenty to go around. I would happily return for another breakfast... Or to check out the lunches... Or indeed for an evening meal (child free would be nice!). The cost was more than we were used to but then we have found places where kids eat free. That said, it was still a very decent feed for a very decent price. My only gripe related to service. Whilst the waiting team were attentive and keen, this perhaps went a bit far. At one point, a waitress leant over our children whilst they were still eating to take our plates. For some this might seem attentive but for us, plates should be left until the whole table have finished. We were also asked shortly after whether we were done and yet our children were still clearly eating. Nevertheless, we were impressed with the food and setting and will definitely be back again - next time, with other breakfast lovers too! #familydadventures

Candice Siege That was my first time doing a click and collect order from giggling squid, but despite the slight delay on a Friday afternoon takeout collection, the food was absolutely incredible and definitely something I will order again. I loved the packaging and the fact that you could reuse the bag well done to the owners. You have an incredible business.

Johnny Horth Friendly craft beer bar. Great selection of keg beers, three hand pulls and a very nicely curated collection of spirits. The service was fantastic and the regulars around the bar a joy to chat with. Free evening parking outside too. Highly recommended

Graham Hilldrup I visited The Black Horse for the first time today on the recommendation of some neighbours. The food was very good and much better than other pub food that I have eaten recently. The service from Magdalena was excellent. Both of us have allergies and she very attentively checked the menu and informed us what we could eat. My friend is normally quite critical of some of the places I have taken him but on this occasion he walked away very happy. I will definitely be taking other friends there.

Gustave Xavier Azorin Officially our new favourite brunch place. It makes a massive difference when a host shows concern of providing a proper service: well paced, attentive, friendly and efficient. The food - lip smacking. The music at the right volume and the place beautifully decorated. The only thing that could be improved is the temperature in the toilet, I guess something was wrong with the heating that day as also the hot water wasn’t working. See you again soon!
