Historic buildings
Open tomorrow at 10:00-17:30 (admission ends at 17:00)
300***23:“Cardinal Wolsey purchased this area in 1514 and began construction in 1515. The palace was built entirely in Tudor style with 1,280 rooms inside, making it the most magnificent building in the country at the time. Later, because of his wealth, Wolsey attracted the king's dissatisfaction. After his death in 1530, the palace became the property of Henry VIII. Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn moved into the palace and began to expand it. King Edward VI of England was born here. It is said that Elizabeth I used this place as a love nest to avoid the eyes and ears of Parliament. Today, Hampton Court Palace shows the world two completely different sides. From the west, you can appreciate the charm of the red Tudor palace of Henry's era and the brilliant features of Renaissance garden art; and the ancient backyard is the magnificent symmetry of the Baroque style designed by Christopher Lane.”

Toby Carvery Redhill

4.3/525 Reviews
Open tomorrow at 8:00
TheForkUser:“I took a friend to the Toby Carvery in Redhill for the first time. While we were waiting to be given a table, the first thing we heard was a lady behind the bar angrily shouting at the restaurant staff: "What's the point of me being behind the bar and training you if you don't let me train? I might as well go home." This was very unprofessional and not a little embarrassing for us to hear. My friend was not impressed. However, once seated, the carvery food was great. Special mention to our waitress, Alex, who was lovely: very friendly and chatty. We wish you well, Alex - you'll go far!!”

Only annoyance was the waitress asking what drinks we wanted just as we had arrived and taking our coats off, also one of the group had not yet arrived. Apart from that, we all enjoyed our meals and the buzzy Friday evening atmosphere.”

Sorrel

Sorrel

4.0/51 Reviews
Open tomorrow at 12:00
噼里啪啦:“As a last resort, I booked outdoor dining at Sorrel and asked two friends to come over. Although we didn't have a tasting menu, we basically ordered everything on the menu. Although it is also a Michelin one-star restaurant, to be honest, it is really average. The appetizer was nothing memorable, and the truffle pasta sauce was a bit too salty, which really buried the aroma of the white truffle. The duck was the only good dish, but it was strange that there was a lot of fennel, which made the taste quite distracting. The sea urchin butter with grilled pork chops made me even more confused. The sea urchin butter did not have the sweetness of the sea urchin, but only the fishy smell of seafood. In short, I don't particularly recommend this restaurant, but during the epidemic, it is not easy to come out and have a good meal, so eat it and cherish it.”
