Chimes Café Dorking in Mole Valley

Attached to the Vineries Garden Centre. We visited this coffee shop, which overall in our opinion was below par. Uncomfortable seating and a very basic layout. The service was robotic. Coffee was OK but the cakes were poor and vastly overpriced.Overall it did not float our boat.We wished we had given it a miss

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.

Excellent food, great price, lovely service .

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 😡

Lovely vegetarian breakfast, great tea & coffee. Pub was spotless, service very friendly, great to use our local pub again.
