    It was the first visit to Clava for the six of us. It certainly won’t be our last! We all enjoyed the delicious meals chosen from the interesting menu. A great Italian restaurant that West Byfleet has been waiting for! Wine wasn’t disappointing either!

    We had a jolly lunch to celebrate a friends birthday. The ambience, food, drinks and happy birthday plate were so good. We shall definitely return and feel it has become our favourite dining place in West Byfleet.

    Fantastic local restaurant. Food was superb, interior decor fancy without being overbearing, and friendly staff. Truly a triumph of a "local" restaurant and perfect for when you want something a bit "special" without having to travel too far.

    After having my partner reject four of my previous restaurant suggestions, I widened my search area and found Clava. Clava delivered; the food tasted amazing, the venue had a great vibe and the staff were friendly and genuine. I would strongly recommend Clava.
