Woking

Woking is not a fine dining destination. More gastronomic choice can be found in Guildford, or by fast train to central London.

The predominant local cuisines are Indian and Italian, and numerous examples of these can be found in the town centre. The town's restaurants are located primarily on Chertsey Road, where there is KFC, Nandos, Pizza Hut, several Indian restaurants, an Italian restaurant, McDonalds, and Roosters Peri Peri a cross between KFC & Nandos. In addition, the High Street/Broadway has Sang Thai restaurant, kebab shops, some Chinese and pizza takeaways, more Indian restaurants. On Commercial Way is Noodle Bar (http://www.noodlebar.net/) a modern noodle bar.

Charlie Choys (http://www.charliechoys.c...) occupies a glossy site just under the railway site, and is much a somewhat more sophisticated alternative to the town centre's discount boozers, as well as a dining destination upstairs, offering a mixed buffet of various cuisines. Nearby is a more intimate choice, Enzo's a bar/restaurant.

A second dining/drinking location is Goldsworth Road, where there is first Barcelona a tapas bar most notable for its £6 daily lunch buffet (http://www.barcelona-woki...). Other restaurants here include Pizza Express and Zizzis.

So's Kitchen, on the Guildford side of the train station, operates a takeaway with adjacent restaurant, and is perhaps the best Chinese in town, although by no means fine dining.

The town centre chain pubs all offer cheap, low-quality food, for as little as £2.

For a more refined 'Surrey' dining experience, The Cloche Hat in nearby Chobham (http://www.clochehat.co.uk/), and Drake's in nearby Ripley 1 Michelin Star (http://www.drakesrestaura...) should be considered.
