La Meridiana - Guildford

I am very disappointed with the restaurant at the caravan and camping club where I am staying. I had a bad experience and learned a lot about this trip. I might not come back. The attitude of the restaurant staff was disgraceful. I spent £40 to stay here and they couldn't even deliver a decent pizza. I am quite unsatisfied with this trip. It will depend on how I sleep tonight.

Was staying in the local area for a family visit to Chessington World of Adventure and identified the restaurant from other positive reviews. Food options were very good, with the specials at the front of the menu. Between us we ordered a mixture of pasta pizza dishes all of which were expectional. My eldest claimed it was the best pizza he'd ever had whilst my youngest's spaghetti bolognese was one of the best I'd tasted. The cocktail menu had good options, the mojito being very good (and I'm fussy about mojitos). Only the kids had dessert but they were more than happy with the ice cream selection. The staff were very attentive and seemed to take time to speak with all diners. Even the chefs kept the kids entertained, pulling silly faces at them from the kitchen window. Would happily return and recommend.

This restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine for those looking for a traditional experience, but also caters to those who enjoy a English twist on Italian dishes.

Tonight, our experience at this restaurant was a disappointment and the opposite of recent positive reviews. Service was slow, with long waits between courses. The calamari was unappetizing and my main dish was barely warm, even after requesting it to be reheated. Other diners around us were also complaining about cold food. There were multiple plates being returned to the kitchen while we waited for our bill. The service charge was removed from our bill, but there was no offer to discount the lukewarm food or a genuine apology. The staff seemed indifferent to our concerns. Despite being told they were busy, there were empty tables and it appeared that the kitchen was prioritizing takeout orders. We witnessed another diner finding a piece of plastic in their pizza. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and we will not be returning.

Absolutely Delicious food, the best authentic Italian outside of Italy! We sat outside in the front garden on warm summers night, watching the world go by. Service was prompt, polished but not intrusive- exactly how it should be. Outstanding few hours, can’t wait to do it all again. 2nd visit this year as this is fast becoming the No1 choice as you cannot fault it.
