Beaverbrook - The Garden House in Mole Valley

If there is a better location to enjoy a breakfast I have yet to see. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Excellent lunch, would visit again.

Beautifully created dishes in a cosy laid back garden house. Good kids meals too. Cocktails are great and there even was a Christmas selection. Only drawback is that we have been multiple times been told off by a rude lady behind us to keep our 2 year olds quiet. In the end a waiter even came to enhance this message, however, this restaurant is not marketed as an adults-only one, so we would have appreciated it if the waiter had remained a neutral position. Left a little bad taste to our experience.

Impeccable service and very good food. Delightful ambiance....

Had the most amazing time yet again at Beaverbrook, The Garden House. The food was absolutely brilliant, so was the wine and the service. Shandy, Pip and Hannah were so attentive and Adam the head chef came out to greet us as well, making it a very warming and special Birthday Experience! We will be back soon!!

To sum up in one word: OVERRATED! I came for my 30th birthday with some family, with myself personally choosing this venue for the occasion due to its reputation and being more special than the average high street restaurant. Well, I wish I had booked one of those instead. The menu is extortionate and not worth what you eat. I felt embarrassed to have chosen this restaurant as I saw my family grimacing at the prices, and ordering starters for mains in an effort to save money. This meal was also my gift from my Mum and Sister, who felt terrible that we did not enjoy the experience and this my present. A friend also phoned ahead and paid for a glass of Prosecco as a birthday treat for myself, which the team delivered to me on the day. They did not state that my friend had purchased this, and instead took the credit themselves as offering me a complimentary drink. Therefore, I did not thank my friend and she felt embarrassed to ask if I received it. Overall, unless you have a lot of dosh to spend, I wouldn't recommend the restaurant here for any occasion, particularly a special one.

Not sure about the restaurant after we ordered a crab pasta dish which used egg noodles instead of spaghetti and being half asian I know the difference between egg noodles and spaghetti! And seeing how much we paid for the dinner, it’s a little shocking. They could have just told us they ran out of pasta and given us another dish. It’s a shame as the waitress that served us was lovely and setting is gorgeous. But the food was a let down. *UPDATE: Have reached out to you/the manager with no response*

We had a fabulous dinner at the Garden House. The Robin's Nest bar is a very cozy and delicately decorated space to enjoy the amazing cocktails on offer. Do try the Maple Sour and New Cuban. Natasha at the bar was very helpful with her recommendations and passion. Fiona and Shandee were a delight and service was impeccable! We felt very well looked after. We had the Burrata and Shallot tarte tatin as starters which were very tasty and well seasoned. The wild boar ragout with dumplings was the perfect cold weather dish and simply delicious. The sommelier Andrea paired our dishes with amazing wines and he oozes passion for wines and hospitality which was a delight to experience. Thank you Garden House team for such a beautiful meal.

We were seated at the table closest to the entrance with an icy blast each time people entered/left. We asked to move and the waiter moved us to a table further down the conservatory, however there were people seated outside and we were opposite the entrance to their table, had the same issue and had to get up 3 times to close the door as it was left open. In the middle of November seating people by a door does not work. I did not mention again to staff as restaurant looked full and didn't want to create a fuss as I was being treated for my birthday. Food was good but was i was frozen and spoilt the whole experience. At this type of establishment the staff should have addressed the issue, they saw me having to repeatedly close the door.

Hostess for lunch was not helpful with a booking mix up. Rude and dismissive. Did not attempt to accommodate despite having a young child and dog.

Wonderful food and service Had a very pretty kitchen garden . Went to see the main house and was rudely turned away. Had intended to spend Christmas there with a friend. Not after that . We were even escorted off the grounds by a man in a buggy . That after spending nearly £300 on lunch. Anyway can recommend the Garden restaurant. Give the hotel a miss

Extremely average experience that was not worth the money. Having eaten at The Garden House many times before we were looking forward to sharing the experience with friends. Unfortunately the whole lunch was lacklustre and it felt like every aspect from the staff members who served us through to the food lacked the excellence we were hoping for. It genuinely felt like the chef was on holiday as our food was bland and uninspiring, and the service was slow. ‘Resting one one’s laurels’ might be the best descriptor for our experience.

Such a disappointing Birthday Lunch, organised by my well intentioned daughter. I wasn’t well and she tried to cancel with 29 hours notice but they wanted £20 pp cancellation fee. Salad’s are usually good but they can’t ever cook a decent main dish. We’ve been there several times, the first time was super but it’s been awful ever since and £45 for one medium glass of wine? We feel like we’ve been scammed. We’ve NEVER paid such a fortune for such an utterly disappointing meal we left feeling deflated and ripped off.

Had lunch here last weekend. We had been looking forward to coming here for a while, and had been on our radar for some time. To be honest it’s ok, nothing to write home about. We were offered the sofa’s to sit on which at first looked nice but after 30 minutes we realised we would have been better off at a table with chairs. Nice selection of drinks, opted for a beer and two glasses of wine. Should have checked the price as the small glass of red was £35. My mistake. We were offered nibbles which we declined as opted for starters instead. Crab toast was nice. We then all had the pork main with some sides. It was a bit dry and on the overcooked side. The vegetables were ok, the carrots were a bit hard the mash potatoes were probably the stand out dish. As the main arrived we were bombarded by flies. Incessantly buzzing around us and sitting on the food. It was hot and the doors were open but this was more than the odd fly. Made for a very unpleasant dinning experience. TBH it was ok but not worth what we paid. Could have eaten better for half the price. It’s a nice setting and it’s in the Surrey hills but we will not return.

Nothing to do with the hotel. Just had dinner. Lovely but it was £££££££

Family birthday celebration today with grandkids and puppies in tow! Excellent all round today from the impeccable service to the delicious food under Chef Steve Rooney. Yes its expensive but it’s really worth it…..

This place is magical! A once in a lifetime experience! Everything at this resort is catered to a truly 5 star experience. We stayed in Thyme and it was out of this world! The private exterior garden deck was the perfect place to start our mornings with a hot cup of tea. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The room was perfectly appointed with everything you could possibly need or want. The staff- I cannot say more about the amazing staff who truly anticipated our every need. It was amazing and we cannot wait to go back!

There is a piece of magic in the Surrey Hills and it is called “Beaverbrook “. What an English gem it is for those who visit it - whether for a few hours or to stay. Yesterday, we delighted our American guests - with drinks on the terrace overlooking the incredible view (which of course always looks best if the sun shines, which it did). Later, we were served a delicious lunch at the Garden House. This was beautifully presented - our compliments to the chef! We were made to feel so welcome by all the staff and have come away with happy memories - thank you everyone!

What an intersecting place to review! Id been looking forward to visiting here and dining in the Garden House for some time. The setting is idyllic and we started our evening with a cocktail or 2 in Franks Bar. It is beautiful. Service was attentive, atmosphere was great and the delightful waiter was friendly. I particularly was impressed with his flower arranging skills on the tables! Simple flowers picked from the gardens was an understated but elegant touch. We were taken to the garden room and seated immediately. Lovely serving staff and the interior design is relaxed and very pleasant. Please note some of the sofas at the tables are far too low and you are advised to sit on the scatter cushions to reach a comfortable table height! Most uncomfortable So…. to the food. What a disappointment. The menu reads well. Simple sounding food. I chose the burrata with strawberries to start. Way too sweet almost like a jam. 3 others had the crab on sourdough which seemed to go down well. One member of the party has the fishcake as his main course. It is seriously underwhelming. Very thin, greasy and inedible. For £32 for 1 fishcake it was a huge disappointment. 2 of us had the spaghetti vongole. A simple dish to prepare but hard to do well. I make it myself! It was oversalted, dry and the clams were the smallest I’d ever seen. I repeatedly had to remove fragments of broken shell from my mouth which is unforgivable in a dish such as this. We spoke to the manager re the appalling fishcake, who was very gracious about it and removed it from the bill after explaining to us that the Sous Chef was on duty!! The staff were lovely, that aspect of the evening was faultless. So my advice… if you are looking for fabulous food , this isn’t somewhere I’d return to. Now cocktails at Franks bar in the sunshine next time hopefully, I would love to do again ! Charging top end prices for very mediocre food is not a winning combination in this foodies eyes! The one plus point for me is that I wasn’t paying!! I may have been more vocal re the food had I been.

Brilliant menu - Great location - excellent staff. Booking essential. Well worth a visit. Restaurant is a credit to the hotel.

A total disappointment of a dinner. Considering the above average prices like something you'd see in a Michelin star gastropub in Bray, we expected a similar experience. On arrival a member of staff led us to a wobbly table, right next to fire extinguishers and next to a very busy staff area. So the whole night you get to experience the waiting staff squeeze past your chair which is great obviously. The chairs had bread crumbs on them which the waiter promptly brushed away with his hand, wonderful little detail that adds a lot of authenticity to the experience. The chairs themselves are amazing, you can clearly see deep indentations of countless buttcheeks that sat in them, probably dating to the time the place was opened. Maybe they are memory foam? Wonderful, fits like a glove. The menus are a scrambled mess of disorganised papers not connected in any way, leaving you with more paperwork at a dinner table than you probably get in an office. I ordered a 12 pound mocktail with a fancy name that ended up being just lime cordial and some lemonade. Exquisite. The starters were courgette salad and a crab on a brioche bread slice. Salad was honestly the best part of the whole dinner, simple yet tasty, maybe a bit bland but inoffensive. The crab was a complete disaster. The layer of crab was barely visible and brioche bread was tasteless. I did appreciate a single radish as a decoration on the plate, nice touch, goes really nicely with crab or rather a ghostly presence of it, a faint memory of it maybe. The mains were porchetta and a duck breast. Porchetta came to the table as if it was thrown into the deepest fires of hell, completely burnt, dry and oversalted. The skin was black in places, completely charred rather than being deliciously crispy. Cutting it with a table knife was a good workout though. The stuffing seemingly consisted of mashed black pepper and more salt. Really bad, I'd be embarrassed to let a dish go out to a customer like that. The duck was alright, a single breast cooked somewhat evenly with a bunch of random sides that don't enhance the taste of the meat at all, not terrible not great. The final bill was 170 for 2. Never again, save your money, go somewhere else. The waiting staff are all nice though

This is a lovely location accessed via a long drive through a beautiful golf course. The restaurant is nicely decorated and set in a kitchen garden. Service was friendly. The menu was somewhat limited as several dishes featured garlic and there was a focus on cold dishes/salads which was a shame on a cold evening. It was very expensive. We spent nearly £100 on what was essentially one three course meal shared between two people and no alcohol. The main dish did not come with any sides which for £40 including service is expensive for what it was. It would be helpful to review the menu in advance which we didn't do.

We had a wonderful experience at the Garden House restaurant. The food was extraordinary and every member of the team was hospitable and very attentive. A unique experience and a highlight of our stay in England

I honestly don't know where to start with this! I was taken to The Garden House by my daughter and son-in-law as a treat for Mothering Sunday. This, of course, made it impossible for me to complain on the night - it would have seemed so ungrateful as The Garden House is extremely expensive and my lovely children are by no means wealthy! The greeting, ambience, facilities, decor and staff were all great (bar one young man who said all the right things but had a sneering expression and distinctly gave the impression that he was far too good to be working there!). The menu, though, was very odd. Two of us are vegetarian, and one eats meat and fish. On the main menu there was really very little for the vegetarians, so we were offered the vegan menu. Most of the dishes listed there had hardly anything in the way of protein - in fact most of them were not really meals, as such, but rather combinations of different bits of food that did not seem to be natural companions for each other. I opted for the mushroom starter which came on a slice of bread and was garnished with truffle. The mushroom topping was perfectly pleasant but the slice of toasted bread was so hard (not burnt, just rock solid) around the edges that I had to leave all but the centre of the slice. My main also came from the vegan menu and was called a salad of roasted vegetables with grains (so I hoped for a little protein there). What I received was a pile of vegetables that had clearly been the lunchtime serving to accompany a classic Sunday roast dinner (perhaps Mothering Sunday lunch did not prove as popular as they had hoped!). There were four small roast potatoes, a couple of baby parsnips, some carrots and lots of assorted cabbage-type leaves. That was it. No grains. A mushroom gravy arrived after a short while; a little unimaginative, as I'd just finished a mushroom starter. None of the vegetables were seasoned (although this is far preferable, I think, than things arriving horribly over-salted). I'd really lost patience with the whole thing after two courses, but ordered a dessert as my daughter knows that I love pudding, and I didn't want her to know how very dull I thought the whole thing was (my daughter's food was equally odd; my son-in-law fared a little better with a crab pasta dish). Perhaps they just don't 'do' vegetarian food... My dessert was poached pear, ginger and lime, with coconut ice cream. The ginger was in the form of some kind of broken up pieces of cake that were partly powdery, partly cake-y and, largely, rock solid like the bread in my starter. I truly feared for my teeth at times. Again, it really didn't feel at all like a dish - just a random selection of ingredients thrown together on a plate. There was no sign of any lime. My daughter chose a millefeulle, but sadly the menu didn't say that it was deconstructed, as she would probably have chosen something else. She described the pastry as 'oily'. I didn't see how much the bill came to (thank God none of us drinks alcohol!) but having seen the prices on some of the menu items I can assure you that it absolutely was not worth it. Two additional points - we were not offered any bread for the table (which in my experience is very unusual for what is supposed to be a top class restaurant - perhaps it was all too hard to serve!), and the dessert menu is extremely limited. On reading the huge variety of reviews of The Garden House (mainly very good, or very bad, with little in the middle) I'm left wondering if they have two chefs and one's experience of eating with them depends entirely upon who's on duty. Never again! (My teeth still hurt!)

We visited The Garden House restaurant yesterday 15 March for lunch. We were a party of four. The food I must say was excellent but the service appalling. We all opted for the two course set menu. My partner and one daughter opted for a...

Having been a fan of this restaurant, I must confess food standards have slipped. Veal overpowered with salt and rosemary. Broccoli and polenta bland and uninspiring. For such a great restaurant to have slipped so far, it Is truly a shame. However, the scallops were...

We arrived at 7pm on a Friday and it was disappointing that the restaurant was full of young children but hey ho! I though that the wine list was very pricy for a restaurant at this level and it turned out that the food was...

So embarrassed to have taken friends to celebrate their 70th birthday here. The “bar” was a dark corner with no bar in sight. Our table was centrally placed and only two other tables had guests. We needed several cushions to reach the table comfortably. And...

Visited here with family. The setting is unquestionably stunning, in a beautifully restored mansion in rolling Surrey countryside. That is where the positives end however. The restaurant was not full but service was incredibly slow and haphazard - I asked 2 people to order a...

My sisters and I had a beautiful birthday lunch here and it was made very special by the very friendly staff and service, they were very accommodating. I would definitely go back. There were also some gorgeous robins sat next to us.

Nice setting but very overpriced and service shocking! I don’t mind paying for good food and service, generously tipping for quality etc however this place is just ridiculous. I have been. Several times now because I desperately want it to be good as it’s on...

Yet again, another poor experience at the Garden House - staff are uninterested and offer very poor service. The food is good but certainly not worth the eye watering price! In fact a lunch for 2 (3 courses) without water or wine, cost us over...

Enjoyed a lovely meal for my Mother's birthday. Food was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend

I chose the Garden House to celebrate a special occasion with friends, and it was an excellent decision. The staff are wonderful, the food is excellent and the drinks menu is extensive - I was designated driver, and can highly recommend the non-alcoholic cocktails.

Great food and excellent service

A very underwhelming experience at a very high price. Service was average, food was only okay but prices far too high. A side order of chips cost £7.00 which seemed expensive but then to discover that they were only the ordinary frozen type you would...

A bit pricey but overall a good experience.

Very disappointing. Food was OK. Very high price tag. Priority is given to golf club members so we were not allowed in the bar area for a pre-lunch drink or coffee afterwards. Very poor customer service and we felt deprioritised. We will not be returning...

Food tasted good apart from the sunday roast which was dissapointing. Big portions. Would visit again.

Fantastic food. Fantastic members of staff and wonderful place.

An excellent experience from start to finish. A cosy bar area for pre or post dinner drinks & the restaurant itself has understated, comfortable interiors. Vegan food options were beautifully presented & full of flavour, there’s clearly a v talented passionate chef behind it all.

We had a lovely evening at The Garden House, the service was lovely, food was delicious as always. 4 star's because it's reassuringly expensive..

It’s always a treat to eat at Beaverbrook & we visited recently having not been for a couple of years. It’s a beautiful restaurant with fantastic food and super attentive service. We enjoyed some really excellent dishes and being positioned near the kitchen we could...

We ate at The Garden House for my birthday. Aside from the fact the decor looks like the Oxford Street Anthropologie store exploded in there, we were completely dumbfounded by the substandard food; gastro pub quality at best. Our starter was beef carpaccio: too-thick sliced...

Amazing Food, fantastic service and a wonderful atmosphere. Really couldn't fault it. We had the best 21st birthday celebration. All the staff went above and beyond to make it a very special evening. Thank you all very much

You drive more than a mile through the lovely grounds and past the hotel to get to the restaurant. Light and airy they have a small bar for drinks and then into the restaurant where the tables are well separated. The food is very good...

We had a wonderful evening at the Garden House - Oliver and Kirsty were amazing, they were extremely friendly and made our visit so lovely.

Absolutely the worst food I’ve ever tried, had pain in my belly after every single meal 🥴😭🤮🤢 Low quality food and overcooked with butter and oil. Sick of this food, the smell just awful. Appreciate the staff trying their best, but the food makes me...

Definitely get yourself down here for a late summers evening meal and drinks! The setting is beautiful!

Went here on our anniversary and it was a great evening, couldn’t fault anything, I guess this is why it’s Michelin rated! Of course you pay the premium for the type of food and service! Lovely venue too

Visited the Garden House yesterday for lunch. Interior and terrace seating available, but bookings required. Good parking close to the restaurant. COVID compliant, but not intrusive, temperature tested on arrival. Very attentive and friendly service, superb views and comfortable ambiance. Menu is not extensive but...

We went there last week, the place has beautiful views and stunning herb garden’s. Food was amazing, service was excellent and friendly. This is a place definitely worth to visit. Perfect place for kids and dogs. Definitely will be returning.

This is the most gorgeous restaurant. The staff are brilliant, so welcoming. Service is spot on: Oliver was phenomenal! Shandi and Skye were great too. I didn’t get everyone’s name but they were all lovely.. The food and cocktails were awesome - unbelievably fresh. The...

This restaurant is amazing. They have an excellent environment and a friendly service. The view, the food, the wine… It was perfect! We hope to return soon.

I COMPLETELY disagree with the previous review where the “anonymous” review (funny that) describing the venue and the sommelier Oliver. I am a foodie and love my fine wine. I have dined at restaurants globally from 3 Michelin to AA rosettes. The Garden House made...

Excellent environment, friendly service, great menu choices and really good food. Definitely hope to go back. The best restaurant in town.

In upmarket restaurants, the vegetarian option often feels like an afterthought - something added to the menu for the weird veggies. At the garden House there was no such feeling. The vegetarian options were clearly thought through, creative and made great use of the produce...

This was our first time here, a Sunday lunch for three and it will probably be our last. The drive through the wonderful estate and the walk through the garden to the restaurant entrance promised so much. Unfortunately, once inside, the promise was not fulfilled....

The food here is consistently good, expensive but not completely over the top. The service is charming, very attentive and friendly staff who take a lot of trouble. We had an excellent soup and equally good courgette flower, nicely glazed and grilled monkfish, and tasty...

Amazing breakfast in great surroundings! Then ice skating! A magical place! We were made to feel VERY welcomed!

Very mediocre service, waitress staff really need some training. Dishes placed down with servers cloth in the food, wine spilt, incorrect cutlery... Also, really cold, we asked twice to have the fire lit as it was cold, eventually it happened but then it was left to go out. As others have said this is a lovely venue that has become no more than a gastro pub with average food at high prices. We have visited on numerous occasions but fear this will be the last for a while.

What a welcome addition to the area! The perfect spot for a special lunch or dinner with children. The restaurant is very welcoming and I particularly love the open fires, perfect after a walk in the beautiful grounds. Very family friendly, we will definitely be back!

This is one of the best restaurants in the area. Great food, great atmosphere and the service is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. Love it and would recommend to anyone.

Prior to lockdown, this is the only place my family wanted to visit. For us The Garden House is perfect. Welcomes our children (teenagers) which is so important for us. The surroundings are relaxed, the service inviting and the food delightful. For us this equals perfection.

Had a lovely dinner here with family. The settings of the garden house is beautiful and the food was excellent. The staff were great at accommodating us and recommending dishes! I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend 😊

Shocked to read some of the reviews on here - the food is AMAZING! One of the best meals out I have had in a long time. You have to try the 50/50 mash and the lamb is just amazing. We had a lovely cocktail in a little snug area to start, as our table wasn't ready but it was the perfect start to our experience. I loved how laid back it was, not pretentious at all, but you could tell the quality of the food and drink was top notch. We finished off by having a walk around the grounds - they are stunning. There was plenty of parking, there is an overflow car park behind the restaurant and it was free to park. Well worth a visit - you won't be disappointed!

We love this place and have been more than times than i can count, choice of two great restaurants, Garden house is fantastic for families, the staff know us there and are so professional and more to the point .....happy!! In the summer the kids run freely in the beautiful wild garden out the back, whilst we enjoy good food and service!! Lovely gardens to go for a walk after the sit down ....if like me you’ve eaten more than you should have.The Japanese restaurant in the main house is more for grown ups, again a beautiful setting with very professional staff! We will just keep coming back! Well done Beaverbrook!!

Had a great dinner at The Garden House Restaurant at Beaverbrook with my family as our 'last supper' before being locked down for another month. Food, service and ambience are all great, totally worth it. Will be back once out of jail...

Unfortunately a first and last visit for us at Beaverbrook Garden House, the food was very average and nothing special in the slightest. The front of house were warm and welcoming however, the lack of service from the waitresses was completely odd. We were made to feel very unwelcome and the incompetence was appalling or perhaps they just don’t care, cutlery was placed upside down and water spilt over the table. The table behind us complained too about the poor food and service, such a shame for a pretty setting.
