Abinger Hammer Village Shop & Tea Rooms in Mole Valley

Yesterday I had business in the Surrey Hills and I do declare I ate the best ham, egg and chips that any kitchen ever put on a plate anywhere in the world! The winning establishment is the Abinger Hammer tea rooms. Service by the sole proprietor, Anne! I also picked up a couple of surplus squashes from a neighbour’s wall left out for passers by. Kindness and good service may still be a force to be reckoned with!

Vandaag samen met een vriendin genoten van een heerlijke high tea. Goede belegde verse sandwiches, gevarieerde gebakjes en scones. Een gezellig praatje gemaakt met de hele vriendelijke eigenaresse Annie. Wat een fijne plek om te komen, een echte aanrader!

Perfect scones fresh from the oven and tea in exquisite china cups. Lashings of cream and jam. Very English, very delightful and friendly

We have been visiting this quaint tea room for many year and been to several tea rooms (we are bored pensioners that have to get out)but there is no other quite like this.The staff are always friendly,the food freshly cooked to order,home made cakes and my favourit the flapjack.The tea pots,cups and saucers and plates are all very tastful aged decorated china.What a treat,a cup and saucer !!! Anne, the owner, always has time for a chat with us before we leave. Any one visiting Surrey Hills should call in for a little bit of "olde England"It is really a lovely quant little tea room.Highly recommended.

I've recently visited the Tea Rooms for an afternoon tea with a girlfriend. It was so lovely, all freshly prepared, lovely service. Will be booking again for a larger family Birthday.

Absolutely love this shop, from the tasty cream teas to the fantastic staff, I refuse to go anywhere else !! -Charlie

I just popped in here briefly, passing through to grab a bite to eat. Can I just say, they have one of the best sausage rolls I have ever eaten!

What a lovely lady the owner is. We had a lovely lunch after cycling and walking. She could not have been more helpful. Even got a passing customer to serve us which was very funny.

And boy, was it a welcome experience! This gorgeously quaint tea room doubles as a village shop. They were selling fishing nets for catching tiddlers and across the road children were using them to fish in the Tilling Bourne, while parents sat under a canopy and enjoyed morning tea. The perfect school holiday scene. It's the sort of tiny business that could have gone under during Lockdown, were it not for a resourceful owner who sourced items the supermarkets couldn't find, so that the shop became a magnet for villages all around. I was the lone customer for tea the morning I stopped by. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated. I had two poached eggs on incredibly buttery toast and perfect tea from the cutest pot. I bought a slab of that old standby, bread pudding, to take with me. (No one offers bread pudding any more.) I doubt I'd have made those long climbs up onto the Downs, all the way to Box Hill, without being able to break off regular pieces of pudding to sustain me. Hidden gems like this village and this little tea rooms need to be preserved. They are the essence of England.

Nice location though on a busy road. Friendly staff in a nice village setting with a community atmosphere. Close by is the idyllic river and the famous abinger hammer clock.

The tea shop is really cosy, with wonderful homemade cakes. The shop looks out over the village green. The service is always friendly.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and had booked a table, as we knew there are only 14/15 seats and the tea room is popular. Annie is on holiday this week, but we still had very friendly service, with tasty fresh bread watercress and egg sandwiches, amazing thick cut very hot chips (tempting!), and warm scone slice with clotted cream and jam. Quiet with no background music, quaint and homely. The service was not the fastest, as the lady was managing brilliantly all on her own, but this gave us time to chat with our friends. We will be back to try the range of home-made cakes. With the embroidered table cloths and variety of china cups, as well as fresh flowers, and smiling chatty lady, we felt very welcome. Very therapeutic after a hectic week - a lovely escape into another, more civilised world! Thank you for a lovely afternoon. Long may this tea room last!

Went for tea and cake with friends. Very strange old fashioned shop and tea room which seemed to be run by one lady.Good pot of tea and excellent scone which was different from the usual as it was cut from a large scone in a slice like a cake.Parking nearby very difficult.

Took a neighbour out for tea on her birthday and didn't know what to expect. My wife, myself and our neighbour thought the tearoom was charming with nice selection of cakes in a friendly atmosphere.

Welcoming owners, dog friendly, indoor tea room with china teacups and embroidered tablecloths, and outdoor seating too. Like going back 40 years, but in a nice way! Tasty home make cake. Pretty village green and stream across the busy road, and the quirky clock on the building down the road. Small village shop attached to tearoom.

Unfortunately the reviews on here didn't match our experience of the Tea Rooms. Although there was a very quaint atmosphere and the owners were lovely, I can't say that the food was great. It was somewhat below average. We ordered milkshakes that didn't meet our expectations - it literally was milk with nesquik (or something of the sort). I know this is the "old fashioned" milkshake but now a days you'd expect ice cream in a milkshake - perhaps changing the name of the item on the menu would help manage customers' expectations. Our sandwich took far, far too long to arrive (over 30 mins) and the Marie Rose sauce was very watery, although overall the sandwich tasted fine. The toffee, pecan and cranberry cake was too dry and you couldn't really taste the toffee or the pecans. It was an okay cake, but for a tea room it was disappointing. Overall, it was an okay experience - prices were adequate for the food - I just wish that the quality of the food had been better.

I had excellent home made sandwiches and cakes as part of the High Tea. Well presented and delicious. Only £12.95 per person. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Had to take own high chair for little one and needed to carry pram up steps but defintely worth the effort. Will definitely go back!

My sister and I took our mother here yesterday for Mother's day. What a treat! We really couldn't fault our visit. Afternoon tea was absolutely delicious. Beautiful old tea sets and crockery, and two lovely friendly ladies serving and stopping for a chat. The tea itself was enormous so we were given doggy bags to bring the rest home! The best home made scones and thick clotted cream ever, loads of choice in a great old fashioned tea shop.We will be back soon!

We have just been here for afternoon tea and it was absolutely wonderful. Really good quality home made cakes and sandwiches. The meringues were a real treat. Lovely china and attentive service. Very good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

This was for Grandpa’s seventieth Birthday tea. We had to order a “high tea” in advance which for £11.50 per head was an amazing spread: little sandwiches, scones with cream, bread pudding slices, quiche, meringues with cream and raspberries, macaroons and Victoria sponge cake. Remember, you are not going for the decor, which is very simple - but the this is its charm. There are only a few tables, but the attention is all there for you, so enjoy the experience as these little tearooms are few and far between.

We stumbled across this lovely little tearoom were made really welcome and the service was great great fresh food and a nice cafetière of coffee really pleased we fell across this place

We just stumbled across this tea room. It is just perfect, clean and pretty and the food is all home made and very tasty. We sat for an hour and had afternoon tea, and just let the world roll by. Next visit we will try the cream tea!

We had tea, coffee and a good selection of cakes with lovely garden table or inside. Entrance through village shop. Space for the bicycles in the garden.

Hidden gem inside Abinger Hammer post office and shop; a traditional tea room, serving a very good, freshly cooked, egg and bacon toasted bap (decent bacon, perfectly fried egg, artisan-style bread) with Kingfisher Watercress on the side. Small but light and sunny room, with just four or five tables, set with lovely mis-matched crockery. Proper tea. A must if you are walking around and about Abinger.

Have just enjoyed another stop at Annie's lovely, traditional tea-shop behind her village shop in The Surrey village of Abinger Hammer. Its a mecca for cyclists, walkers and anyone who wants to experience the old-style teashop with home made cakes, super service from very nice ladies and Annie's tasty cream teas.

Really pretty tea room. Amazing breakfast freshly cooked to order and served by very friendly attentive staff.

A really nice tea room with good friendly service. We called in late afternoon halfway through a family walk and ordered cream teas, cake, ice cream etc. The tea room is accessed through the very useful village store and post office.

Attractive tea room in a great setting in Abinger Hammer. It overlooks the Green and the Tillingbourne stream. Jack Hammer is 20 yards down the road. I have stopped there for a light lunch when walking from Dorking to Guildford. On this occasion I was cycling with friends. On every visit I have had excellent service and snacks. The cream tea is particularly good value.

Lovely and typical English Tea Rooms in the gorgeous village of Abinger Hammer. It is opposite idyllic green and stream. Enter via the Village Shop and Post Office, and enjoy a very relaxed tea and cake or more substantial snack. Warm and welcoming, good value and all home/local made.
