Squires Tea Shop - Carta

I have been a customer of Squires for many years. I used to frequent Garsons on my way home from work, but I have noticed that things are not up to par lately. The plants have been very dry during my last two visits.

This used to be a lovely place for a coffee and sandwich. Visited with my mother yesterday, poor choice of snacks/light bites. Prices are expensive. Lacked atmosphere. We won't be returning. Just one positive scones were very nice!

With only 5 staff on duty, all helped make our regular coffee/breakfast outing a relaxing and happy experience. Three friends attending for the first time and with 9 in total today, we were spread across two pre booked tables, and a great time had by all. Thank you see you next week! Ver carta

We call in every month when visiting Esher and always enjoy a light lunch. The coffee is pretty good and the soup is really excellent. Sandwiches are good and although we don’t often try the main courses they look good too. We always reserve a table online just in case it is busy and although service can be a shade slow at times we’ve found it friendly and efficient. Worth a visit for sure.

Covid aware! Samantha S lovely lady, lovely nature. Ordered a breakfast six items. DELICIOUS. The food was brought to the table on a trolley. Napkins, cutlery, salt and pepper. How safe as reassuring. Such a treat from our last visit. Tables were cleaned as soon as customers left, Yes it was not busy but you were aware this place was looking after us. AND the loos have been upgraded. Lovely place to visit.

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. I took my mother and mother-in-law for lunch, and we were rushed to order. The scones we ordered fell apart as soon as we tried to cut them, making it impossible to put jam on them. The coffee came in takeaway cups without any explanation, even though we were dining inside. The tables were covered in dirty plates, despite there being 4 staff members and only 5 tables of customers. I won't be returning anytime soon. Ver carta

Sadly the quality of the food not as good as it was. They were very busy, and the bacon came out rock hard and cool. It had obviously been under the hot plate or in the oven too long. Left it on the plate and the waitress said that she would inform the chef. Complained later as they were rushed off their feet. Emailed the manager and had a chat and she said I should have told them which I did and that it was a one off experience, which it wasn't. Reality of it is that it is not as good as it was, and I and my friends will not be eating there again and we were regulars there at least 3 times a week.

If you remember the type of food served on a ferry crossing in the 1970s, this restaurant is similar to that. It is extremely disappointing, highly overpriced, and serves very small portions (not that you would want more of this low-quality food). I do not understand why a reputable business like Squires, known for their excellent garden center, would associate their name with this restaurant. It is clear that cost-cutting measures are evident throughout, from the fake flowers on the tables (which is odd in a garden center) to the portion sizes, like a prawn salad with only a couple of prawns and two cherry tomatoes served on a saucer. The whole experience is pathetic and depressing. I only...

This has to be the worst garden tea shop I have ever had the misfortune to go to. Staff rude. One of the managers shouted at a colleague in front of us. Orders over an app only which crashes out due to poor signal Guest wifi password needed and not supplied When you tell them you can't order using app as it says site unavailable, I was told I must have entered something incorrectly. I was then told someone would take my order 15 minutes later they remembered. In the meantime, a waiter helped me and told me yes they were having problems with it, but it's not their fault? whose is it? Order took 20 minutes to get to us. Was left waiting on counter to get cold for 10. They remade it and got bot... Ver carta
