OldPost in Tandridge

A recent visit with a group of Cyclists and we do enjoy our Coffee & Cake stops. Looks like a charming place and the cakes on offer looked good but on ordering and trying to pay I was told they had a NO CASH policy?! How Crazy is that??? In my opinion a very unwise precedent for a Small Business that clearly needs supporting as apart from us and 2 other people, the place was empty. As absolute TRACKABLE CONTROL over EVERYTHING WE SPEND is a very clear AGENDA We should make every effort to use MORE CASH and PUSH BACK its removal in favour of the CBDC's (Central Bank Digital Currencies) the Government is gagging to inflict on us. Every Small/Med Business in these times of Crisis after Crisis after Crisis deserve to keep as much of their hard earned money as possible so, let's not be fooled into thinking everything Digital is purely for our 'Convenience' as nothing could be further from the TRUTH. I don't carry Cards when Cycling and I certainly wouldn't entertain Payments by Phone either but more Importantly ... We Have A Right To Use CASH as Legal Tender wherever & whenever we choose to do so. Out of Principle, I use CASH over any other payment now. As a result I went without and so did The Old Post and nor will I return or recommend until they embrace the use of CASH again.

OldPost is a beautiful cafe in Nutfield, the quality of food is great, the staff are really friendly and the service is excellent. Would recommend

Dropped in with the work team for coffee on a break, super friendly staff, great coffee and great cafe style food / pastries

I moved to the area a year ago and have found the most wonderful tearooms in Nutfield High Street. The OldPost serves THE most delicious breakfasts and lunches with the option of sitting in the courtyard garden which is so pretty. I regularly get my Flat White coffee from here when I work from home and look forward to my 2-3 weekly visit. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone visits. There is car parking to the right hand side.

I have driven past this cafe many many times, thought how lovely it looked and always thought I should stop by. Today I did. I shall not be coming again. The staff looked harrassed despite their being a small queue and few customers. Service was very slow. And having ordered a vegetarian sandwich and been presented with a bacon one I was told it was my fault. Clearly customer service is not a priority here

We popped in here quite randomly. Inside it’s a beautiful place: a spacious modern cafe with a lovely courtyard. Some really good design touches. Somehow it didn’t look so welcoming from the outside? The menu is limited but all three of our light lunches were excellent: chunky sandwiches, a very nice quiche, with really good coleslaw on the side. The coffee was decent, the milkshake was good. Worth popping in!

Disappointing visit as this is usually an enjoyable place to go to. This time it was a disaster. I took a guest and her baby for a treat but we had to leave without eating and go elsewhere. I had booked a table on their telephone answering machine stating our specific requirements and called the day before to speak to someone to double check that they could provide us with all we needed. However on arrival we were told they were unable to cook/serve what I had requested (although it is on the menu) until 45 minutes later and then only after 2 large pre orders. I was told (a) I'd booked an awkward time slot and (b) their policy was "on the menu" - which we didn't see until we arrived at the venue. Apart from the baby's needs one of us has complex special dietary needs. Neither can easily fit into a standard slot to suit other agendas. My question is why was I not informed that we would have to sit and wait 45 minutes before being allowed to order the item I specifically rang to ask about when I telephoned? I'd also question how good a telephone booking system is that takes your booking but then informs you that it won't confirm it. It feels very risky - hence my 2nd call. Finally I received no acknowledgement to my message to the owner. Not the best customer service I have received. Can't rate the food this time.

Took a while for our lunch to come, for which the waitress apologised. However, really don't think your food should come out in dribs and drabs. Side order of fries was delivered with no other food. Two lunches then arrived about 5 mins later but not mine. Had to wait a further 5 mins for mine to arrive. The chips were pretty cold by now. I ordered the quiche which I expected would be warm. However, it was ice cold and I couldn't eat it all as a result.

Love this place looks nothing on the inside as it does on the outside which looks like a 1980 cafe as you drive by .... inside is a light and bright chilled place with pleasant and mannerly staff even when they are busy.

I met a friend for coffee, staff not visible and when they came to serve seemed flustered and unsure of what to do. Asked for 2 coffees and was told there would be a 40 minute wait. Left as did not have that much time.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, good coffee and food. This Restaurant has a shop attached selling a variety of things, including an excellent choice of greetings cards. In the restaurant they have many chocolate products for sale, very tempting indeed. We live very close so use very regularly and am very happy to recommend.

Took my partner and two friends to lunch today. Service was unacceptably slow. It took 50 minutes for our sandwiches and salads to arrive, and that was after two prompts to the staff - who only informed me 40 minutes in that they were understaffed today (after they'd taken my order and money). There was also a lack of organisation, with people being serviced ahead of us, who had arrived after us. Not impressed and we won't be eating there again.

A nice little place I only found last year and popped in a couple of times with my late mum. She really enjoyed it, so it's always special to visit for the Old Post breakfast and a tea or coffee. The place has a nice relaxed atmosphere

Popped in for Coffee and was presented with the most delicious Walnut cake the slice of which was the size of a small island and for £2.95 is without doubt the best value Walnut cake in Surrey. Topped with a generous hot coffee this was a most rewarding visit !! So nice to see a coffee house that goes that extra mile !!

Had a date lunch with my boyfriend and it was such and cute, special hide away stop. The staff is so friendly too

Easy parking and entered through a pretty courtyard with a cluster of professionals services. It’s got a very pleasant ambiance and seems popular. I’ve marked it down simply because I paid £4 for 2 cups of tea served appallingly. A nice large cup with hot water and a tea bag floating in it! We got a jug of milk but why oh why not provide a tea pot. What a difference that would make but they just can’t be bothered.

Not good ordered cooked breakfast my bacon was overcooked, granary toast dry, poached egg was basically hard boiled egg asked for egg to be cooked again but came back same just runny on top half of egg. My wife had poached eggs on toast both eggs which were hard boiled but ate as does not like to send her food back. Staff did not enquire if i was satisfied after the second egg. If they cannot cook a runny poached egg they should not sell them . No refund offered. Paid nearly £20 for a breafast we did not enjoy. Shame as place is lovely.

I went for breakfast, it is a lovely building and they have spent some time and effort to make it look neat and smart.To start with they did not have all the ingredients for the breakfast I wanted, so i decided for very simple fare, toast and tea.It was not very busy at the time of ordering, yet it took over 35 minutes for the toast to come, served with two of the smallest foil wrapped butter portions I have ever seen, the brown toast was nice though.After 45 minutes the tea arrived, even after a polite prompts earlier on.The staff appeared to be disinterested and apathetic.I live very local and will not return, I do not like giving poor reviews, local business always needs support

Had lunch in a lovely courtyard. Served vegan options by very friendly staff. Also lovely to browse round the shop.

I think it's converted from old post office. The entrance is through a jewellery and craft shop. The cafe counter is deep inside. On the other side is a fitness center. A youngish girl was manning the counter. The setting is nice and cheerful. There were two sets of floor mosaic which I suspect were from the old post office. I had milkshake which was ok. Wife had walnut cake which she enjoyed. We were there Saturday mid afternoon it wasn't very crowded.

Dunno what's in the marshmallows but my boys have had Caramel ice-cream milkshake takeaways 2 days in a row - 'the best ever!'. I even got a hug from my 14-year old......'nuff said.

This has quickly my favourite cafés in the area. And old building which has been modernised but retains its character. The dining room is very bright and cheerful with a modern feeling. Large portions of everything.

This is a lovely cafe, it's spacious, light and quirky. The food and coffee is great. I would recommend to anyone over having a mediocre coffee or overpriced sandiwch from a chain and drive out here and support this local business. Will be back!

It’s a find!! I would visit every day if I could Bright and comfortable, with a good choice of food. A surprise especially as I am not familiar with this area Some nice independent retailers next door as well Worth a stop

We have been using the Old Post quite regularly, as the food and drinks were great. Unfortunately maybe because of their increasing clientele, and reputation, it's not as good as it was. This time my coffee was roughly 50 percent froth - I wanted a drink!

This looked a good place to try for a lunch/afternoon tea with our nieces and their Grandma.

Service fine Have always enjoyed visiting the Old Post but on our last visit was disappointing because of the "all in one" coffee machine.

Great food and also great for Xmas shopping for special gifts. Have visited several times and always great

Have driven/ridden our motorcycles past this place many times but never stopped. Today out in car we were stuck for somewhere different to go for lunch so hubby & myself stopped.

Its always a pleasure returning here.I went with friends for Breakfast on 5th October,we were warmly greeted and found a table where we viewed the imaginative breakfast menu,catering for all tastes.I went to the counter and gave the order,this was followed by our drinks being delivered,and then our food came.The presentation and quality are always first class here.Sitting enjoying our food we could see the variety of gifts for sale around the very attractive room,there is also a courtyard at the back which is lovely when weather permits.We had a second drink then enjoyed looking round the other rooms filled with gifts and cards.The building is so very interesting having once been a Post Office and Stores.The staff said goodbye and we left.This venue is also perfect for light lunch or afternoon tea,or for just a coffee.The owners are genuinely friendly,and this comes out in the staff too,please don't ever change....Thankyou Stuart.....

Stopped here for coffee when we were passing. Set directly on the A25 it has its own parking area. The premises were a former post office so are quite spacious and offer good amount of seating. There was a good selection of cakes including gluten free options. Staff were friendly. Overall offers a good alternative to chain cafes

First time visit, food ok, notice took a while for them to clear tables.

This used to be Heaven, but changed hands and name, and now fulfills a similar role despite that. The food and drinks are excellent, the atmosphere is peaceful and there is off-street parking. It's an excellent place for a quiet break, a business meeting or a bit of me time.

A great coffee shop find by my daughter as she passed through the village en-route to another town.

Wonderful place to meet up with friends or family for breakfast, lunch or tea. Lovely homemade dishes. Great area to sit outside. Alternative therapies also available.

Great for a snack or a light meal. Interesting decor but also handy to get to from A25. Good parking. Includes a gym!

A good place to sit and natter over coffee and cake ir a light lunch. Lots of cards and bits and pieces for sale. Plenty of parking.

This place is a hidden gem; it is so pretty and you can get a fresh smoothie (or milkshake) which is my main attraction to it.

We visited here for the first time today for coffee and a second breakfast.

Lovely spot for brunch or a browse. Really friendly staff that make give it a welcoming community feel.

Our first visit, as we had wanted to go for a while, be it may be our last.

We popped in for some lunch with a friend, having not visited before and loved this place! Quirkly things to buy in the shop on entering and you are nicely led off to the restaurant at the back where we quickly found a table by the window. The menu offered breakfast up until 1130am and lunch from noon. We ordered two chicken caesar salads with some sweet potato fries and our friend had the New Yorker baguette (think large seeded rolll with pastrami and all the trimmings) with a side of skin on fries. All washed down with soft drinks and followed by coffees. YUM! There were plenty of other delicious looking plates coming out for other customers (plus a specials board) and some very enticing smoothies and milkshakes if you only fancy a quick visit. Overall, a nice little cafe for when we are passing, friendly staff and good food at a good price. Will be returning !

A warm welcome on arrival on a cold wet day,for Breakfast Wednesday 24th January,always a pleasure to return here.An imaginative breakfast menu,we made our selection,found a table,it was already fairly busy for a winter's morning,then our drinks arrived,and after a short while our hot breakfasts,we were asked if we needed anything else.The food was hot,fresh,and very appetising,the lady returned to check that everything was ok.Having enjoyed our food and a second coffee,we browsed the well stocked shelving in the gift area,a good selection of goods.We were acknowleged as we left,and went away very happy.Can't wait for the better weather to come to enjoy the lovely outside courtyard...Thankyou,Very Sincerely,Stuart....

I definitely picked the wrong day to visit. I was starving. Ordered a coffee and sandwich. The wait time between my coffee and meal arriving - and as I type this I'm still waiting so hope it does - was over 45 minutes. I can't decide whether to give up and go somewhere else or wait!

Second visit, as I thought I’d give them the benefit of doubt following my first bad experience. Rude staff again. Very disappointing!

This was recommended to me by a friend and it was certainly worth a visit. We used to go here years ago when it was the Grace Barrand design centre and it was lovely. We had a very comfy seat and the food was delicious. With lovely dry crispy chips. The baguettes were generously filled with delicious feelings. We lingered and also enjoyed some of the cake on offer. We then had a look round some of the very nice things to buy. Parking is very easy here. My only criticism Is the peculiar bare walls. However we came for food and delicious food we certainly got.

Nicely presented cafe with sensible parking. Small menu but nice display . Experience ruined but a moody,unfriendly staff member. Attitude was all wrong.customer service is a big thing and first impressions very disappointed.

This great little place is in my Village, a few hundred metres from my door, dangerous as always good coffee and great food. The staff are great and Vicky, Lynne and of course Fiona in the engine room..

Contemporary Cafe, Modern Craft Shop, Beauty Spa and Gym - all in one venue! It was actually the Old Post Office converted.

Been here twice now and have loved this place both times. The lady who runs (and owns?) the café couldn't make you feel more at home or be more helpful. As cyclists trip one we were offered to have water bottles filled up, and trip two our wet shoes were dried! Food is excellent (brie and bacon panini is superb!), cake is off the scale good, and coffee/smoothies are delish. Very happy customers, highly recommend and will be visiting again.

Was zeer verzorgd en lekker. Ingrediënten waren naar onze mening vers en verzorgd. Bediening is correct en vriendelijk, aangenaam om er te zitten, alleen tikkeltje te duur voor wat men krijgt.

Apparently don't allow buggies due to fire safety!? Wasn't allowed in even though my 2 yr old was fast asleep so couldn't eat there.

Drive by this daily, finally made it in for a visit. Very nice looking cakes, salads, and sandwiches in the display case. Good selection of cold beverages, tea, and espresso drinks. The quirky housewares in the back, fitness studio, beauty salon, and jeweller all add to the interest of this cafe. I enjoyed a panini on the patio with a cold drink. Pleasant service. Good use of space in the quiet back patio with lovely fountains. Dogs allowed only on the patio. A nice afternoon.

We had decided to try using more local establishments. The Old Post has only 'recently' come to our attention. Our first impressions were very good, especially as the food is very good & its a quirky location. However we've recently wanted to grab a coffee but found the car park fully packed out, or we've missed their 1600 shut down. Hey ho.

So so unique. Really lovely food mixed with great surroundings. Just the sort of tea room that is so much more than a Tea Room with all the comforts you dream about.

Driven past this building over the years but never popped in. Went on Tripadvisor recommendation and very pleased we did.

I hesitate to recommend this little gem in case we can't be seated on a return visit but it deserves to be successful.This place is a bit quirky ,totally welcoming and we will be returning next time to try the tempting array of cakes.

Met up with a couple of friends last week easy to find on the A25 at Nutfield, reasonable range of food items on offer although good quality a little expensive but I would go there again

Been going regularly for a few months and very nice place, warm welcome, innovative surroundings and good service and staff and the foods good too. However I have heard from a family member that they are no longer doing rustic rolls .......... rather boring, omnipotent, bland panini/ ciabatta options only. Don't think these will complement their nice fillings and they will have lost an important (IMO only of course) point of differentiation. So please bring these back or it's back to the priory garden centre for me - hard life eh!

We regularly pop in on a Saturday morning for breakfast. It's a healthier affair than lots of places, with scrambled eggs, avocado and tomatoes on the menu, as well as scrambled eggs and salmon (but they do classic items like bacon sandwiches too.)

Excellent cafe which I visit regularly. Very friendly staff & tasty food. Lovely selection of gifts & cards too.

We made our first visit to OldPost yesterday for brunch and loved it. Lovely smiley service and lovely food. Great portion size and the scrambled eggs in particular were delicious! Lovely surroundings and cute shop with lovely Homeware. We will be back!

Visited this lovely little restaurant for tea with a friend today and we were both very impressed with the delicious choice of food for both lunch and afternoon tea with a wonderful display of cakes and fresh food.

Was at a meeting nearby & arranged to meet the wife here for a coffee. Lively atmosphere, superb service & very efficient. Food does look lovely but managed not to be tempted yet. Seems to have a bit of a shuffle since my last visit some months ago, I think it has improved the set up. Yup the shop does give another interest while you're there. Will definitely pop in when around.

What a fantastic place to have lunch. The staff were so friendly and helpful when we were making our choice for lunch. Nothing was a problem for them to help us in our food choice. The display of filled ciabattas were fresh and loaded. We chose the warm quiche, salad and homemade coleslaw. The pastry in the quiche was to die for.... Not a soggy bottom in sight!!! My filling was bacon, Brie and tomatoes. A very tasty combination.

I don't usually review after one visit, but today, the food was so up my street that I wanted to share! I had a delicious New York baguette - excellent bread, fresh pastrami, gherkin and cheese with a great coffee. Mum had jacket potato with chicken and ham and we both had side salads and what appeared to be homemade coleslaw that weren't the usual accompaniment to be ignored, but delicious in their own right.

This was a fantastic coffee shop a year ago,, came back with a small group of friends to find it has gone so downhill.

I usually go to the Old Post on a Friday . The cafe staff are really friendly . I always love to browse in the lovely shop and they also sell some nice cards. It's one of my favourite places.

popped in for afternoon tea with a bite to eat on a nice sunny day sat in the garden and had a really nice time good service and good food well worth a second visit

I like the athmosphere,the serviceis very friendly, the food is good, love their scones with a cup of team. Find it a bit mean that one has to pay for everything sperately (toast and jam is to be paid separately).

Called in for coffee as friend had prev visited. Beautiful vintage gift shop with all the usual to buy.... cards scarves unusual jewellery etc ....on entering coffee shop was not welcomed v warmly as would expect . Staff member appeared not to be v happy ...and I suggest in not suited to the job.... shame as the place was lovely. Will not put me off returning though.

We visited the cafe with a young baby and the staff could not have been more helpful. We had jacket potatoes and a baguette which were packed with fillings. We had intended to have a cake but were too full. A great pity as they looked scrummy. Reasonable prices, nice staff, good food so it was a very nice experience. My companions were local so had been before but I wish we had a cafe like this near me!

Have visited several times now due to attending a course in their studio. On arrival the first time my friend and I were ushered into the courtyard as we had our babies' car seats on our buggies. We were told that there was not space for the buggies in the cafe so I assumed that it must have been busy and small. When going in to order drinks it appeared very quiet in there and seemed to be ample space to manoeuvre the buggies and park them without blocking the way.

This is another reincarnation of previous ventures. Visiting on a sunny day it was bright & airy with a lovely atmosphere. A small but efficient cafe, which seem to be doing what it wants to be, very well. Not sure what happens on a busy day as seating, space, is at a premium. Will definitely be popping in again.

i have been before and returned on Wednesday 10th March,at lunchtime with a friend.We were welcomed as we entered the very well stocked gift shop,well worth a browse,then went into the cafe part where we were warmly welcomed again.It was a cold day but the atmosphere and ambience were warm.We chose our food and a drink from a varied menu,my friend has food allergies which were gently taken into account,nothing seemed to be too much trouble.The lady serving was charming,as before on previous visits.We found a table and enjoyed our food and drinks which arrived very promptly.The shelves around the cafe area are well stocked with giftware too.The lady returned to check our food was ok,it was a genuine enquiry.We then left our table to walk back into the gift area and looked out remembering the lovely quiet patio that is at the back,and open in better weather.The lady in the gift shop was very friendly too as we left with our purchases,can't wait to return and to enjoy the patio.....Thankyou.. Stuart....

Visited this cafe with young children and found the place to be slightly disappointing.
