Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Walton-on-the-Hill

A Perfect Post-Dog-Walk Spot! We visited The Blue Ball in Walton on the Hill after a lovely dog walk, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. There were four of us and four dogs, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a walk. The food was absolutely fantastic—clearly made with care and attention to detail. It’s not every day you find a pub that excels at both great food and a friendly vibe! A special mention goes to the manager, an Irish gentleman I recognized from a visit the year before. I didn’t catch his name, but he’s absolutely first class—fantastic with both customers and his team. His leadership clearly shines through, as both the waitresses and waiters were superb, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. The staff’s friendliness extended to our furry companions too, making it a truly dog-friendly spot. If you’re in the area, whether for a walk or just a good meal, I couldn’t recommend The Blue Ball highly enough.

Have been to all the iterations of this location for past 15 yrs. This was BEST food by far, but maybe a few teething issues with drink stock. Ran out of champagne and no fizzy water, but other than that it was highly enjoyable. Great place to meet up

A Wonderful Dining Experience We visited Trinca last night to celebrate a birthday, and it was nothing short of amazing. The food was absolutely fantastic—every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs take great pride in their work. The owner personally looked after us, making us feel truly special and ensuring every detail of our celebration was perfect. It’s rare to find that level of care and attention these days, and it made the evening even more memorable. The wine selection was impressive, offering something for every palate and perfectly complementing the meal. Thank you for making our celebration so wonderful—we can’t wait to return!
