Open to the public
Located on the ground floor in the Rik Medlik Building, The Lakeside Restaurant affords a spectacular panorama of the beautiful University of Surrey campus. It is a fully licensed fine dining restaurant, run by the Manager, Tony Webber and his team of hospitality professionals based in the Surrey Hospitality and Tourism Management who train our International Hospitality Management (IHM) students. Tony and the team are dedicated to providing top-quality food and helping the students gain the experience and training they need to successfully complete their first year.

Private functions at The Lakeside Restaurant
The Lakeside offers our students an incredible and unique learning opportunity; equally, it is an important amenity within our local community.
The Lakeside can accommodate bookings from 40 up to 80 guests, who will receive first-rate food and service from our international hospitality management students and our employed students from all disciplines. Guests can expect top-quality food, designed and created by our excellent head chef with contributions from the students, all offered at a reasonable price.
Parking at Lakeside
Please be aware that The Lakeside Restaurant, as a training facility and part of the University, does not have its own dedicated customer parking.
Guests are welcome to use the North Car Park (staff and student permit car park). Please park in an available space and then enter your vehicle registration into the permit terminal located at the restaurant entrance.
While we are able to provide a parking permit, we cannot guarantee that a space will be available. Spaces are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you are unable to find a space in the North Car Park, pay-and-display parking is available elsewhere on campus, but standard parking charges will apply.
Thank you for your understanding.
