Was told to sit outside and would come back to take our food order ..Never did but took everybody else's order & when we had had enough and just paid for the drinks we had he never even recognised us to apologise....Terrible service 😡

The coffee was strong and cold. I asked for a half strength which it was not. The side salad with the cheese on toast was brown lettuce and when I asked for this to be removed from the bill they said it was complimentary. And therefore would not discount the meal. It said the cheese on toast came with a side salad. The manager said only one piece was brown so didn't understand why I was complaining. All the edges of the lettuce were brown. It was unacceptable to serve old lettuce. The staff were not very friendly. I will not be visiting this cafe again.

Nice place to go and sit outside if the weather is nice and you need a break in between shopping. The daily specials, judging by my companion's meal are worth trying. The inside is OK. My bill was wrong when compared to the menu, but it was quickly sorted

Amazing. I took my daughter here last Sunday for breakfast. The place was really busy but they found us a table and the lady that looked after us was really friendly and welcoming. My daughter had the all day breakfast and it was an amazing generously portioned amount of food. I had the bacon sandwich which was one of the best I've had. Can't rate the staff, restaurant and the food highly enough. We will certainly go back again. Thank you

Drove a few miles out of our way and pay for parking to get an all day breakfast. Got there at 4.15pm and walked in, but I guess they decided they'd make up their own hours and told us they were done for the day. Not good business.

We’ve been here a few times and enjoyed it. Popped in on Sunday, around 2.30pm, took a seat and we were completely ignored whilst trying to order. The waitress wandered off then came back and started cleaning tables around us despite us trying to catch her eye. We waited 10 min (felt like longer) then overheard the lady in the kitchen tell the waitress not to take any more food orders. We couldn’t see any signs saying food was only served between certain times (we assumed a cafe served all day?) We got up and left, walked down the high street and found another lovely cafe. Won’t be returning for a while unfortunately.

£9.99 for handful pasta with cheese from microwave with old salad? Seriously? Dreadful interior in the middle of Dorking shopping centre …probably builder’s coffee shops looks better and serves better food for reasonable prices… Have to admit Chai latte was perfect, which could add half star to the food ratings, but unfortunately can’t add half star. Not surprised that peak time was half empty restaurant .

Busy, friendly and efficient. This is the best place for lunch in Dorking and if there are no frills, there are no disappointments either. Local produce adds to the menu and the specials and the staff try their best to best flexible with preferences. Matt, the owner, expects top class service from his staff and he gets it. The shortbread bakewell is great. I also like the ham, egg and chips. But there are always surprises on the specials board.

Popped in to grab take away panini. Not from the area and it looks nice on the outside. The man cooking was very angry and flustered. When they took our order, he said are you joking another food order? And then he shouted it will be 20mins. We were in a rush and we didn’t want to stick around after his attitude so we said we would leave it. He then started complaining about us and said they are not a Starbucks. The waitress looked mortified and apologised. I agree, it definitely isn’t any where near a Starbucks. The coffee was good so if your looking for a quick take away coffee, this should be ok. We ended up going a short walk down the alley to a lovely little place called Chimes. They did our paninis in 5mins.

Popped in for a late lunch, menu outside enticed us in but what we got was ok, at best. Found the gentleman there very abrupt, with an awful manner. Asking one lady who arrived with her son 'what do you want?'. Understand this is an obvious question when someone needs to place an order but the manner in which it was delivered was poor. Wasn't the only time I saw and heard him address people like that. The food was ok, but not worth the wait, over 20 mins, is excessive. Wouldn't rush back and will try other places in Dorking, which I wish we had in the first instance to be honest

Never again. Sat outside for a coffee with a friend. After we finished we went inside to pay as nobody was coming outside. At the till the lady seemed to have made up a total at random as for a bill around £4 she made us pay over £5.50 and when I questioned with the price list in hand she said it was a large americano (which it wasn’t, as when asked, my friend explicitly said a medium/regular) when I stated we ordered a medium another guy pulled up his shoulders like saying ‘who cares what you ordered. This is what you’ll pay for’ Horrible example of a con artist. Beware and check your bills before leaving. Also thank goodness we didn’t order food as the place inside stank . Yuk . As said, never Ever we’ll go back to this place again. 🤮

Went with family today Highchairs were filthy, so much so I kept my son in the pram to feed him. Doesn’t bode well for cleanliness of cafe itself… Ordered bacon, Brie and cranberry panini, bacon was very underdone, chewy and fatty, so disappointing. Husband ordered full english, bacon same as above, given half a mushroom and ketchup was foul basically red vinegar My mum ordered a chicken pesto sandwich on granary bread and got given a panini instead. Salad was well past it’s best and dressing was basically just vinegar. Ordered two pots of tea and just given one. Nobody came back to check our food was ok. Left without getting any cake and won’t be back. Unsure why it’s so highly rated as I thought it was all round pretty grim

I visited Burgundy & Black in Dorking with my parents (who go there at least once a week). We sat at one of the outside tables, which was very pleasant. The coffee was delicious and the danish pastries were hot, having just come out of the oven. Matt and William were, as usual, very welcoming and always make time to stop chat. William has been known to help my Mum to her seat if he isn’t too busy - if he spots her coming up the road as she does have problems with mobility. It’s the little touches that make such a difference. Highly recommended !

We were booked in for a birthday tea specially, even though they weren't doing teas that week. When we arrived a lovely big table with white tablecloth and napkins was ready for us. We were offered coffee and tea, which came promptly, followed by a plate of hot snacks and a cake stand containing a mouth-watering selection, including egg mayonnaise, coronation chicken and cheese and ham sandwiches. The bread was beautifully soft, with the crusts cut off. In addition were warm scones with jam and clotted cream, topped off by a selection of mini cakes. We were so full we had to take the cakes home! Thank you to Penny, who took such good care of us, and the other members of staff who made us feel very special.
