Hanana sushi and bento bar, Richmond
Kew Road, Surrey, TW9 2NQAsian food is on the ascendant in Richmond. I was alerted to the opening of Hanana, a new sushi and bento bar just by the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond by Ceviche chef and patron Martin Morales, who I interviewed for the January issue. It’s small, cosy and you’ll see the sushi prepared right in front of you. They do take away, too.

Itabashi Izakaya, Teddington
3 Church Road, Teddington, London, Surrey, TW11 8PFIf you’ve never experienced pub-style Japanese food before, then you must make a beeline for Itabashi, which opened in Teddington a few months ago. Izakayas are relaxed (but sometimes rowdy!) places in Japan, oft populated by salarimen letting their hair down for a post-work Mirin or three, while snacking tapas-style on the likes of yakitori chicken, nabe or gyoza.

Garsons Restaurant, Esher
Garsons in Esher continues to flourish with the opening of a brand new restaurant, marking the culmination of widespread refurbishment work. Diners can look out over the pick-your-own fields, which will also provide fruit and vegetables to the restaurant come spring.
"It's a pleasure for any chef to work so closely with the food where you've got the produce growing just outside the kitchen," says head chef Melvyn Redding. "We're using lots of local produce, such as our meat from Bevan's butchers, and other local suppliers for our breads and more, which is fantastic."

Grantley Arms, Wonersh
The Street, Wonersh, Guildford, Surrey,, Surrey, GU5 0PEA new chapter has opened for the Grantley Arms in Wonersh. The pub has been bought and relaunched by locals Richard Cryer and Chris Frederick who wanted to restore it to its former glory and place it at the centre of village life once again.
“The pub is still going to be a place to come and read the papers with the dog at the weekend and come to a quiz, but you have the option of eating dishes ranging from fresh diver-caught scallops to burgers, whilst you play,” says Chris.
Indeed, food will play a central role given that Head Chef Matt Edmonds is in charge; he comes straight from Searcy’s The Gherkin, and from the kitchens of The Army and Navy Club and Pennyhill Park before that.
On the menu, look out for South Downs vension, hay-smoked venison with blackberries, and pan-fried Cornish halibut with braised lentils and carrot purée (two-course dinner £28, three course £35).
