Phone shows restaurants from my home town when I search near me on holiday

On a trip right now and any 'near me' search on my phone gives results back home, hundreds of miles away. Location is switched on and maps knows exactly where I am. Why would search ignore that?
near search wrong

google is guessing your location from your IP or your saved home address because it can't get the real one. give the browser or the Google app permission to use precise location on your phone and search again, it should switch over.
