If Steve Sung’s Reading restaurant – the original Kei’s – is anything to go by, this place will become a big hit with Surrey folk. This is a very smart place to eat and a good reason to visit Farnham. The range of food provides a wide enough choice for any palate; the staff are delightful, most attentive and very child-friendly. It’s open seven days a week, 12–2pm lunchtimes, 6–11pm evenings and then midday through to 11pm on Sundays. One of the best places around to hold a family get-together.

Sardinian restaurant/café in downtown Guildford especially praised by readers. No pretensions here, just great food and service. Wine is mostly Italian/Sardinian. Air-conditioned with 50 covers. Child friendly; a great place for family celebrations.

221  La Capanna
01932 862121
48 High Street, Cobham
http://www.lacapanna.co.uk
Inspirational Italian restaurant housed in a delightful 18th-century building that has played host to many celebrities from the world of film and music. Equally good for a quiet dinner or celebration, you can eat in one of three inside dining areas, including the lovely conservatory, or on the garden terrace overlooking the river Mole. Both traditional and contemporary leanings are in evidence here and a mostly Italian wine list with house wine at £15. ‘Wonderful food – for starters try the antipasto la capanna, a treat for both the eye and palette – gorgeous surroundings.’
