Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Stanmer

Our second visit to Fork didn’t disappoint! A real gem of a restaurant with excellent food, attentive and friendly service coupled with good value! The fixed menu @ £39.50 provided a diverse set of choices to suit all palates cooked in an open-plan kitchen on full display to the diners. As a wine nerd it was also fantastic to take advantage of a £15 corkage fee which is extremely reasonable. I had scallops in a celeriac purée to start, pork tenderloin with pancetta and then an apple pie to finish. All superbly cooked and presented. We will most definitely be back!

We went to Kindling restaurant to celebrate our son’s 26th birthday. The staff were all friendly and courteous, service was good and the food was exceptional, possibly the best steak we have had. It’s not cheap but then again a good cut of steak isn’t cheap and although you have to pay extra for any side dishes, they were pretty good portion sizes. We will definitely return sometime in the future.

We had to wait to be seated as we were told that our table was ready but then advised it was given to someone else and it would be a couple of minutes. That was not true and we had to enquire if the table was then ready, to which we were seated immediately. Although we were having the set Christmas menu we were also not offered a drinks menu, we had to pull this up via our phones. The server we finally had was nice, but we had to ask to do the Cluedo activity but he was attentive when serving the food. Normally it’s been really great here but the seating and no drinks menu was not the best experience.

The atmosphere was great the food was beautiful the only thing they were short staffed so the drinks that were unreal just couldn’t come quick enough. Staff were amazing did apologise and give us a free shot of our choice. Would 100% go back.

The food was lovely … we were celebrating my daughter’s degree qualification as a family. It was great- no one else there, nice food and expected prices- no surprise there. The waiter was really cool but was a ‘constant’ talking and engaging with us repeatedly. Could do with knowing when to talk and when to stay distant. Lovely man though - I just felt he wanted to join in all the time?
