South East Restaurant Guide

Al Fassia

In one respect at least I tend to think of restaurants rather as I do of my fellow human beings. Flashy on the outside can lead to subsequent disappointment. A trifle drab on the exterior can often reveal hidden pleasures.

Alexander's at Limpsfield

Just under half an hour away by train from London, Limpsfield is a picturesque village nestling just outside Oxted in Surrey.
