Silver Spoon - Reigate and Banstead

My first visit to the Silver Spoon and I have to say, what friendly staff we encountered. We were greeted as we entered and allowed to chose where we wanted to sit. As we picked up the menus. we were asked if we would like a drink, our coffee was soon brought to the table. Having made out choices for lunch, we ordered and the meal came out, hot and well presented on the plates. At no time were we hurried, even though we sat there at the table just chatting.

I cannot comment on the supposedly poor quality sausages previous reviewers have posted, since I never eat anything other than quality sausages from a locally based organic butchers where you know the name of the farm where they were sourced: I can, however, say their bacon, bubble and poached eggs is first class, and their chips are always crispy, tasty and freshly cooked.

Great looking cafe, clean and bright. Makes good tea. However, very expensive for what you get which is 'super economy ' poor quality sauaages (at £1.30 EACH! and fish fingers. The toast was nice, but then again the '3 egg scrambled egg ' must have used three of the smallest eggs known to man.

Disappointed. Diner looks so nice from the outside. Today we decided to go with our 2 year old grandson. He had fish chips and beans. The fish was grey inside and it tasted really was awful. My husband added two sausages to his 3 egg scrambled egg 3? more like 2 small) and the sausages were simply cheap and tasteless at £1.30 each. Luckily, you cannot go too wrong with a poached egg on bread so my lunch was ok. The person I complained to was arrogant instead of just simply apologising. I had to ask for the bill to be checked as to me £17.50 was too much for two adult meals and a child meal but was told that other places charge £30 for a two person meal so their price is good in comparison. If you think charging this amount for poor quality food to serve customers is ok then you are sadly mistaken. I will ensure my family never go to your diner in the future.

I live locally in Nork and hadn’t visited this cafe for about ten years, until today. It is a gem friendly service and tasty food. Two “mega breakfasts” with toast drinks for under £18 good value for money. My partner I won’t leave it quite so long until we visit again. Highly recommended.
