Town near M25 junction A3 (and restaurant)

[evedawn]

We need to meet up with some family in two weeks time and the most convenient place for everyone is...

on the M25, anticlockwise, on the A3 junction....


Anyone know a good town/village nearby (and hopefully a good place to eat)

If there are any gardening fanatics in the family, you really ought to visit the Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Wisley. They're only about a mile from the M25/A3 junction. It costs �8 to get in but it's a good day out and there's a licensed restaurant.

Alternatively, the attractive town of Cobham is only a couple of miles down the road from Junction 10. If you like (up market) Italian restaurants, La Capanna has good reviews. (�16.95, plus 12.5% service charge for a 2 course lunch). Website here:

If you'd prefer a French-based menu, The Plough might be worth a try:

It's about 15-20 mins to Ashvale and a pub called The Swan, great pub and lovely food.
