"Working at the studios in Shepperton, Nando 's in Walton on Thames is more or less around the corner (if you don 't want to do Barley 's Mow . Take away usually works quite well, although you should check the bag you 're handed (most service crafts will ask you to do anyway , it 's often that over hectic that something might be missing. Since most of the people working there go out of their way to make it right , just try to be nice and you get a friendly smile in return.I am saying this for a reason ... Quite often I witness guests being rude to service people or other guests, I have the highest respect for the young ladies (and few guys working there.Food is good for the price (keep in mind that this is still London ish, so expect to pay slightly more for a full meal than you would, e.g., on the continent : salads are actually really worth their money. Although this is a chicken restaurant focusing on ... well ... erm ... chicken, you have some (limited choice on the menu. The Veggie Cataplana is my favorite being German I simply prefer a bit more material on the dish than most of the mains or pita or whatever : Service: As mentioned above, most staff members are doing their best and succeeding. There are hick ups at times when we visited last, we were directed to a table number only to learn that the table had been taken for quite some time, so we had to re order our meals at the service desk to be brought to a different table (that we chose ourselves, probably creating yet another chain reaction chaos later . Eating in: It 's just way too loud. It is SO LOUD that you have to raise your own volume over pain threshold, adding to the mix. If you 're fine with this atmosphere : Go for it."

"Our daughter just recently celebrated her 8th Birthday at Pizza express, Cobham M25 services. From the moment we spoke to Fazel, and Elise on the phone we knew it was going to be a great party, but they really did exceed all the expectations we already had. Upon arrival we were greeted by the very friendly team, and taken to our designated party area which they had decorated with balloons, they had created a pizza making station for the children too. When the guests arrived they were taken on a behind the scenes tour of the kitchen, and restaurant, which they loved! The chef then gave all the children a live demonstration on how to make different pizzas, from classic to romana. They were then off to make their own pizzas, they all loved rolling out their own dough and creating their own pizzas. The Children all went to wash their hands, chat for a few minutes then they were all ready very quickly. They were provided with Cordial and dough balls, the parents were able to order refreshments aswell. The pizza is great here too, next time we fancy our pizza express fix we will be coming here. The Chef and Fazel were engaging with the kids, cracking jokes and making it a fun experience for all the children. Afterwards the children were all awarded with personalised certificates, and we all sang happy birthday. The party was very good value for money, entertaining for children age 7-14, each one of the staff made us feel special, and nothing was too much. The atmosphere is lovely there. Olivia our daughter said it was the best party she ever had, we had great feedback from our guests, and our 14 year old son and his best friend had great fun too. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone for their childrens next party."

"Myself , husband , some and mother in law booked for Sunday lunch, having been about 8-9 times before we knew the meat could be a little hit and miss (sometimes really tough and chewy) but we thought we 'd go again and hope for a good day! We were the only table in for about 30 min then throughout the entire lunch only one other table came . The buffet style started was a let down all seafood its of boney fish nothing meat or fruit based my son (18months) loves fish but because of al the bones couldn 't really eat it, I we never order the soup as the times we have it 's been like water !! Sunday lunch is suppose to be comforting , lots of vegetable selections , lovely fluffy yorkshires it 's suppose to be like mum made accept this lunch the beef was so incredibly chewy , the Yorkshire would have been perfect if they weren 't swimming with oil. The potatoes weren 't brown and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle they were pale and bland . The veg was like something you 'd get in school dinner hall ... carrots, broccoli and cauliflower all cooked together in one pot . They use to have all the veg Separate and a much bigger better selection , there was no stuffing although when asked they do reheat some in microwave for me .. which was awful (unfortunately) The gravy was the only Good thing about the meal . The dessert table also use to be lovely except NEVER eat the cheesecake they always use gelatine and it 's never dissolved properly so you end up gagging on tiny bits of rubbery gelatine! They use to have a cheese selection they don 't seem to anymore . They staff were friendly but not very aware if all out played being full on clearing the table . Such a shame"
