Borellis Wine Bar & Grill in Waverley

Awful place that calls itself a wine bar. The staff have no idea how to open or serve wine. With bottles costing up to £48, staff are not trained to open it let alone know what it is. I asked the manager if our table could be cleaned and she said she had done it already and walked away. Very rude - very expensive mediocre food. Won’t be returning. Used to be a great place.

As we left, we stated that we would definitely return as we had both had a delightful experience. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, polite and informative. We had tapas, and every dish was delicious. The establishment was clean and their prices very reasonable. A really nice wine bar/restaurant.

We had the best Tapas ever outside of Spain. Excellent value as about 8 different tapas [not small either] for 3, with one drink each, 2 coffees and one sweet, and including service bill was about £30pp. Cannot recommend more highly and if in or near Farnham definitely go there. Cannot understand why there were so few there yesterday lunchtime.

Fantastic Sunday Roast Lamb . 10 out of 10 Highly recommended . I’ve been here before many times during the week recently and it’s always been consistently good. I’m working my way through the menu. This was my first time having a roast dinner here and it was amazing. Great lamb and especially the gravy and roast potatoes were delicious.

A really comfortable and inviting place. I loved the selection on draught, especially the Veltin’s Pilsner, definitely worth a try. Food was fine, but bases of pizzas 🍕 were charcoaled. Nevertheless, this was dealt with quickly and professionally by management, which was testament to their excellent customer service. I would be delighted to visit again and hopefully get luckier with the quality of food served 🍻👍

Lovely clean excellent deals and offers. Sunday roast was very good and plentiful. 4 choices. Potatoes a bit undercooked but fine. Staff friendly. Lovely ambience.

Yet again another Sunday lunch at Borelli’s, this time we took friends who wanted to see what it was like as we had praised it several times previously. As ever excellent food well prepared and good service - they thought highly of it and have said they will go again.

I am not local, but I booked it to celebrate my birthday with my family We were running late unfortunately, they rang to see if we still wanted the reservation , which I thought was very good. There was plenty of choice , something for everyone on the menu and was reasonably priced The waiters were nice , attentive , but not overly so,nothing was too much trouble It was a Saturday night so atmosphere was quite buzzy They brought my cake I'd brought with me to the table and sung Happy Birthday, which was a nice touch and a complimentary glass of bubbles , again a lovely touch Went downstairs for a drink , but was full after food so didn't stay long , one of the staff who served me earlier wished me Happy birthday, as we left .. aww lovely I had a great evening, thank you for making my birthday feel so special x

I had a lovely valentine meal, with a free glass of prosco everyone was very friendly and helpful. My chocolate pudding was nice but a bit rich for me. Would definitely recommend

A really delicious lunch that was very good value for money. Excellent service and a chic setting. Highly recommend!

Thursday lunch time visit. Had the tapas, all of which were very good. We ordered 5 including the antipasto - everything came at once after quite a wait & it would have been better to bring the antipasto first. Service good and staff friendly.

Another Amazing experience. Great food and wonderful service.

Great value meal as part of an offer. Tasty, nicely cooked, lots of different veg and handmade Yorkshire puddings! Attentive service, just need warmer roast potatoes next time :)

Good little tapas restaurant. Very convenient for parking. Will definitely be back.

Just had a fabulous lunch and very attentive service

What a lovely place to have wine and Tapas early evening. Great staff especially Sacha who was brilliant. Food was amazing, fresh and so much choice . Great value as well. Highly recommend!

Fabulous , lots of offers to be had all through the week. High standard of delicious food and great attentive service

Have eaten regularly in Farnham but have not been to Borelli’s for some considerable time, took advantage of a Groupon voucher and went for Sunday lunch. Quickly realised what we had been missing, excellent service with great food - overall one of the best Sunday lunches we have eaten recently well presented with beautifully cooked food. Somewhere to be highly recommended and where we will return soon.

The standard of the roast was excellent. Good selection of vegetables and well cooked meat. We were served fairly quickly, and they checked to see if everything was in order.

Lovely roast. We both had the lamb rump and everything was cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. Generous portion. Leech was performing and we were both pleasantly suprised with how good he was. He played the guitar beautifully. Nice vibe, service and food!

The Sunday Lunch was absolutely delicious when it eventually arrived. We got our drinks quickly but then our food didn’t arrive for another 50 minutes. It didn’t seem particularly busy but there were only 2 staff serving so maybe that was the issue. However, we did enjoy our dinners and our dessert which came a lot quicker. We had a Groupon voucher so it was very good value for the money.

As always great food, great service and great price. The food, particularly the tapas, was excellent. Ambience is good and the service excellent. We always enjoy a meal at Borelli’s.

Another great evening at Borelli’s. Great service, food and price.

Really lovely roast dinner and lady running the bar was very pleasant. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely atmosphere and meals for our girls' get together to celebrate before Christmas.

Christmas dinner today, fabulous. Thank you, Polly. for looking after us so well.

I like the sitting outside. But too crowded, slow service

The worst experience ever! We went to Borellis for roast dinner with a voucher we got off Groupon and it was absolutely awful. Our starters took 45 minutes to arrive and the soup was cold so got sent back, about half an hour later our roasts came out. The salt pot was broken and ended up all over the dinner, this was then sent back to the kitchen. When the new dinner arrived the meat was completely raw and inedible, terrible experience - do not recommend.

Cool little place, definitely not on the cheap side but food and service did not dissapoint, everyone was very happy with the place!

We bought a Groupon sun lunch, which was a bargain. The sun lunch was outstanding and staff were friendly and attentive, we will definitely return and happily pay full price for lunch . They also have live music on sun afternoon and other mid week deals. It's a lovely hidden gem in farnham that I would recommend visiting.

What a great place Borelli's is on a Sunday. Love music and a roast, what more can you want. Service great, good delicious.

As always at Borelli's, we had some great tapas served by lovely people!

I admittedly only the second time dining in Farnham. I was looking for a different place from the norm and the traditional when I came across Borellis. Wow - it really lived and exceeded expectation; charming place with great food variety and really friendly staff. And as a bonus, one of the most reasonably priced menu. All that with live music on Sunday lunchtime. You can’t ask for more. It has become a favourite and I won’t consider going anywhere else in Farmham. Thank you.

We had a great experience, food was very delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend, we will definitely go back again.

Food lacked seasoning, and wasnt fresh. Service was good but restaurant wasnt busy

Tasty pizzas, big portion. Unfortunately no menu for soft drinks,the waiter is happy to help with choice of soft drinks but not given the price of each or size of bottle /glass.

My wife and I went for Sunday lunch. It was amazing! I did not expect that, being a restaurant and not a pub. Everything was delicious and a good sized portion.

A little gem just off the high street in a lovely quiet courtyard . Attentive staff delicious affordable tapas . Will be visiting again soon

Hideously noisy evening - upstairs party out of control. Minimal bar service downstairs, tapas took 45m to arrive. I suspect the owners are trying to extract too much revenue from the relatively small building.

Friendly and professional service. Delicious tapas. Noisy environment and a bit uncomfortable high seats downstairs. But despite the latter will definitely return and recommend

For my birthday lunch, we had some fabulous tapas dishes; the cod fritters were our favourite. As always, the service was excellent and the ambience in the bar area was charming. I would highly recommend Borelli's to anyone, and will definitely be back for some more great tapas.

This place is fun if you want to go and continue the night on as one of the few places open past midnight in Farnham. Always an eclectic mix of friendly punters here, easy to make friends. Basic drinks that do the job. I would say this is more of a standard bar rather than a wine bar though. Reason for 4 stars is because it's not a special wine bar and drinks are basic.

Not good or bad, just another place As a reply to your comment, The food was not as good as you mentioned or deserving a 5star. Staff was OK, overpriced for the quality, yes, but unfortunately, most places are like this. The so mentioned 5 stars are for sure regular customers that live near or are friends, what it is ok and makes a house. This is my honest opinion, but no way would not wish you a great success for the future, and I hope you will remain in business for many coming years.

Lovely friendly and helpful Edwin who has just celebrated his birthday. Was a very attentive waiter and helpful to us in making our choices. Tapas was so good, and delicious we had to order more.

Great food. We ate here early on Saturday night and enjoyed it massively. All dishes were well recieved and Edwin's service was friendly but professional

Great place for lunch at great prices! We will be back.

Great Sunday lunch with family and friends - best roast beef - properly cooked beef lovely veg, such a good afternoon thank you to the staff for their excellent service

This was my first time at Borelli's, for a quiet dinner with my son. We enjoyed the quality and freshness of the food, and the professional, attentive service we received. The choice of dishes was excellent. The atmosphere was lovely and friendly. I recommend Borelli's and will certainly visit again with family and friends.

Fantastic food and even better service! Thanks to Edwin and the team for making our night so wonderful :) would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting Farnham as THE place to be.

Fabulous food, fabulous service - big thank you for a wonderful evening. Particularly impressed with the way Edwin made recommendations for us.

This is quite a find - tucked away from the hustle and bustle we found this lovely bar/restaurant for lunch this Sunday. We decided to go for tapas for a change and were not disappointed. The staff were particularly welcoming and accommodating and I will definitely be back for more next time I am in the area.

Amazing food and fantastic service from Edwin. I was surprised at how good the prices were too. Highly recommended, great fresh food ✊

A real find, so worth seeking out. Friendly service - we had delicious tapas and great sangria. The outdoor space, particularly at the back, is lovely on a warm day or if you're out with your dog.

Really lovely food, and the 3 for 2 tapas offer was a lovely bonus! Chloe, Daisy and Bella were all very friendly and attentive, and helped make this birthday celebration a fabulous evening!

Lovely food, freshly made so my dietary issues could be accommodated, nothing was too much trouble including many trips back and forth up the stairs to check ingredients with the Chef Delicious food. Fabulous staff too

Lovely food, the best pizza I have eaten in ages, coupled with a great cider and a superb Picpoul Rose wine. Decor, ambience and service (Chloe) were excellent. All in all a real treat. We will return. Steve & Liz (visited 22 Aug 24).

Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. We had a few tapas and a couple of glasses of very good wine on a Tuesday night in August. Highly recommend this wine bar

An excellent evening, thank you.

Came for lunch with my nan and cousin who both know the place well. I LOVED it! The food was insane, we shared tapas dishes, all were soooooo great! We were served by Edwin and Daisy who were both so lovely and helpful! I would thoroughly recommend this place and cant wait to come back!!!!

The food was absolutely delicious! We both ordered the pork roast and it was delicious. Roast potatoes were 10/10. Was so nice to taste fresh potatoes not reheated like most other places. Will definitely be back! Service was lovely, daisy and Edwin were very accommodating.

We had a great evening, service and food from the tapas menu was excellent

Excellent value and friendly service. Greek salad, croquetas and cod fritters were all very tasty and well sized. Our margaritas were also expertly made.

Great service from our waiting staff - Chloe - who was attentive but not instrusive. Food was very good - we ate our way through the tapas menu and can honestly say everything is worth trying!

Great evening, good service, Reece was very helpful, second time there, great place

Great spot, hidden away but well worth a detour

Good atmosphere, good band on that night “Bad weather friends” food good , will be going back

Excellent food, great service - and the band was brilliant - get them back SOON!

Stopped in for dinner this evening, had 2 for 1 deal on their Paella dish…. Loved it…. Beautifully cooked, lovely atmosphere… Will defo be back…

Tasty food ,well presented. We sat in the pretty Courtyard which was lovely. The only annoying thing was that there was a lady on the ext table talking very loudly.Obviously that is not the restaurants fault! Overall a very pleasant experience.

The food and service were excellent. We were able to sit outside which was lovely.

Highly recommend, lovely independent place to go for excellent food and drink

Good meal .. we had the pizza offer .. definitely come again

We went for lunch and although not very busy the food and service was very good

Absolutely loved visiting, the food is delicious the staff are wonderful and attentive. Highly suggest a visit. The cocktails are especially good and the tuna salad is fantastic 😍

Fantastic place to meet up with friends to chill out or sample the delicious menu on offer. Lovely atmosphere and made welcome on arrival.

Delicious food and one of the best cocktail and mocktails I ever had in a while. Staff were very friendly and welcoming

Very good food, reasonably priced and wonderful service from Chloe and Edwin. We'll be back!

Really lovely service and fantastic food! Would highly recommend for a special meal out

Ordered tapas. Very well cooked and very tasty. Our server Edwin was very engaging and helpful.

First time and will be back to try more dishes, hoping it is good again next time.

The food was genuinely fantastic! Staff were really nice, friendly and helpful. Atmosphere needs a bit of work- music was so quiet we couldn’t really hear it and decor could do with a little bit of work upstairs. Table cloths would improve the feel of the meal etc- this would match the quality of the food better. Thank you for a lovely evening 😊😊

Ate there for valentine's. Pork belly followed by steak. Wife had soup and seabass. Meal was lovely, food was excellent. It was quite quiet, but the food really was great, will be returning.

Great bar tucked away in Farnham. Fantastic Tapas.

Quiet at lunch time. Perfect service and delicious food

We’ve been wanting to try Borellis for a while and this week we enjoyed the most yummy Greek pizza and Hot & Spicy pizza, great value at 2 for 1 on a Tuesday. The menu looked so tempting we also ordered two very tasty tapas to enjoy with our pizzas, the Patatas Bravas and Garlic Fried Mushrooms. Delicious flavours enjoyed whilst soaking up the atmosphere of the historic location and stylish retro style of the bar area. The 1970/80/90s music choice complimented Borellis and the friendly bar staff are a credit. What fabulous cocktails too and good value at £9 for the quality. The bar staff know their stuff, made one of the best Porn Star and Old Fashioned cocktails we’ve had - fabulous. Looking forward to our next time. We intend to come very hungry 😋

Been a few times now, pretty standard nothing much to write about not bad not great, staff seem a bit listless at times and later in the evening starts filling of people who should probably be sent home and cant get in anywhere else. Not had the food so will withhold any judgements.

Our waiter Edwin was very attentive and professional. The waitresses were also very good.

The staff couldn't have been more attentive, and super friendly. Tapas was ace, though little request: please can you put veggie meatballs on the menu too?!

Great place to call in and have a drink. We found the place very busy on Friday evening 29 Sept and ended up just drinking at the bar as nearly every table was taken inside and outside. The staff are very efficient and friendly. Drinks are priced realistically. We stayed about an hour but the noise level was so load we had trouble hearing each other speak so in the end we left. It was good to see they had security at the door when you arrived checking some peoples ID's and keeping a watchful eye on any trouble.

Had lovely tapas lunch and drinks, would definitely recommend. We had the sausage roll, whitebait and chilli prawns, all really tasty. Bella our waitress was very helpful and attentive.

This is a hidden jewel in the heart of Farnham. The food is great, atmosphere is amazing and great service too. We went for padron peppers, breaded mushrooms with garlic Aoli, onion rings, skin on fries, sea food paella, Greek salad and a Greek Pizza. You know a chef is worth his salt when the onion rings are light and crispy. The breaded mushrooms were perfect. I would have liked a little more seasoning on my paella. It also lacked the typical sea food flavour that would have made it amazing. I couldn't get enough of the padron peppers. A big shout out to Bella who waited on us. She was polite and friendly.

Went to Borellis for early evening cocktails. As usual the server did not have a clue how to make the cocktails and looked them up on her phone. Not a problem if she was a little 'humble' about it and had any personality but did all this 'with confidence' and no banter at all. Didn't even thank us for payment. Went to another pub up the road and saw another couple we had seen in there and they likened Borellis to a 'morgue'. Will not be returning.

Borellis is my favourite place in Farnham town & even though I’ve been coming here for 20 years, my recent experiences have been great! The Manager Martin is a very positive addition to Borellis. He is friendly, attentive & respectful to customers & staff alike! His personality & management style also comes across in his staff! The young servers are a delight! Especially Libby & Bella & of course the superb service of the lovely long term lady who always receives me as I’m there for the 1st time! That is Polly x

Great thing about Farnham is you can pop down some side street or alley and find a hidden gem When you delve into Borelli’s and sit in their outdoor area, you find yourself in a quaint little courtyard Outdoor heaters takes the edge off any chill, whilst providing ambient lighting The bar itself has that modern city feel to it There are scattered tables with lots more restaurant seating upstairs The staff were amazing Not only were they engaging - spent lots of time with our boy, with our main server encapsulating him with his knowledge and experience of all things Pokémon We witnessed all the staff being very busy and attentive throughout the evening The food is a Mediterranean attempt with mixtures of Spanish and Italian with the pizza, pasta and tapas We ordered the fish paella, spicy chicken wings, antipasto platter and the equivalent of potatas bravas (Koffiman fries?) This is where a 4/5 star rating plummets to a 3 for this review The coating on the chicken was spot on - nice and crunchy (like a KFC you can get in Malaysia or Singapore) The potatoes were nice and crisp too The antipasto…I felt like they came from a packet that I could pick up at ASDA And the paella…there wasn’t a single piece of fish and it didn’t taste like it was cooked in a fish or seafood stock In fact, the rice was almost like it came straight from Uncle Ben topped off with frozen prawns (cooked) as opposed to fresh It’s a healthy serving, just not appealing on the tastebuds We would we return…yeah, probably, cos everything else about the place was sound

Manager with glasses, treats his lovely staff with complete disrespect at the bar. Not impressed with what I’ve seen at all. Hope he learn to be a little bit more kind and courteous.

Entered the bar was greeted by 3 staff all with smiles and eager. It was very quiet i thought to myself why is this place so quiet. It must be bad. I asked to look at the cocktail menu. After looking I noticed nagroni wasn't on the menu. The manager (Martin) Asked if anything I was looking for in perticular. He explained he couldn't make a classic Nagroni. Due to not having Campari. He did offer to make it using Aperol. I was skeptical but wow. Best I've ever had. I've paid £25 for rubbish cocktails in London. This was £7.... yes it was during happy hour I might add but only £9 any other time. We had pizza we couldn't finish. Again the food was so spectacular I had to take it away. I come here years ago the food, service and staff are leagues apart. Anyone looking for a date night speak to Martini Martin he'll sort you the best cocktails in Farnham. I don't ever review and I felt I had too so people can go check out the fantastic tucked away little bar. Seriously though it don't make sense with the amazing food and a mixology master at the helm. Please anyone that likes pizza and cocktails go see the wonderful Happy team at Borellis

Excellent food and service. Good atmosphere. Portions generous and freshly cooked. Overall an excellent experience.

Had a lager only. Great atmosphere 👌

Good place to go but treats the staff terribly, I have been there many times and the way the staff is treated is disgusting they speak to each other with no respect and don’t have the decency to help someone instead they have a go at them for trying to do the right thing
