Pickwick in Waverley

all food is cooked fresh so you wait a little longer - but that gives you a chance to catch up with family/friends! It is very close to the national trust - the devils punchbowl - why not stop here for a drink/cake/food rather than always go to the national trust cafe!? It's great to support local and you won't regret it. We go on a bike ride from Grayshott and stop here on our way home. My son loves a bacon sandwich and my daughter the all day breakfast - they were more than happy to accommodate personal tastes.

We visited mid morning while part of a sports event at the Devils Punchbowl. Despite having 3 over-excited children we were made very welcome. It’s not a huge menu, but there was no issue to adjust a couple of menu items for the kids and the food was tasty. Staff were lovely and they even gave the children some free chocolate cake (in case they weren’t excited enough!). Well worth visiting if you in the area. It seems a very good local business.

Very friendly place with great service. The owner went out of his way to be helpful. We had a lovely lunch.

Had lunch there on a Sunday with two young kids. They could not have been more helpful and food was great. Would thoroughly recommend. If walking around Devil's Punchbowl, this is a much better place to eat than the over crowed National Trust offering - its literally 3 min walk down the hill towards town.

So pleased we found this cafe. Comfortable, with very friendly and efficient staff, serving freshly prepared and reasonably priced food. And they have an alcohol licence! Highly recommended.

Ideal for anyone visiting the punchbowl common and wanting refreshments. There are a few outside tables which was nice as the road outside is fairly quiet these days. Dare I say a little expensive, but it shows in the quality.

Excellent food and service at the right price. By far the best at the Punchbowl. All day breakfast for hungry walkers and cyclists. Staff always finding time to engage in friendly conversation. Highly recommended!

Happy, helpful staff, lovely pot of Earl Grey tea and the best orange cake ever. Will definitely visit again.

Such a friendly atmosphere, very homely the breakfast was spot on! Very attentive and friendly staff will love to visit again

Been to this cafe twice now as I live round the corner and it's always delicious food served by friendly people. Breakfast is amazing and not too expensive either

If I've had a better breakfast or been better looked after, I can't remember! What an unexpected and outstanding start to my day.

I came here with my family for lunch and the food was amazing! Everything was freshly made and the atmosphere was lovely. Will definitely be coming back when we are back in the area.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here with friends. There was a wide variety of choice on the menu and the food was delicious. My children were made to feel welcome and enjoyed their meals too. This is a great place to visit after a walk around the Devil's Punch Bowl.

I visit Pickwicks every week after training and far prefer it to the National Trust cafe. The service is excellent and friendly, and Clive is such a nice person. The food is always extremely fresh and high quality, and the prices are very reasonable. I thoroughly recommend Pickwicks to anyone visiting Hindhead and the Punchbowl.

Not sure how many cafes is there but this one was good but avarage in same time. Food as expensive as in London, nice service but nothing unusual.

I visited here for a quick breakfast with my partner, we were very impressed with the friendly service and delicious food. Lovely, peaceful location.

Having just got off the boat at Portsmouth, making our way home from Portugal and Spain. Husband suggested we get a bite to eat.

Popped in here on our way to a local fete for coffee. Coffee was lovely and I tried the lemon and lime drizzle cake was delicious. Our server Charlotte was very helpful and pleasant, checking to see that we had everything we needed with a smile. This made our visit even more special. Call in if you are nearby

Stopped for lunch and coffee, food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. Delightful little place.

Brilliant friendly coffee shop with very reasonable prices and yummy food. We popped in a couple of weeks ago and were so impressed we planned our Sunday outing around a revisit.

Stopped for coffee and sandwich at this lovely cafe and was delighted by the warm welcome. The owner was extremely courteous and made the most delicious bacon sandwich, beautifully presented and with a warm smile and interesting chat. Would highly recommend visiting this establishment if in the Devils Punchbowl area.

A quick lunch, two salads freshly prepared and cheerfully served. Nothing was too much trouble, a delightful little place. Give it a try!

A visit to BMW next door and a waiting job kead me here. Clive the owner was very afable and test him he has a wealth of knowledge and history in life. I had a breakfast of my choice and enjoyed it all. The coffee was good and strong. even got extra toast. The setting is nice as the sun was out but inside was cool and able to do some catching up and notes.

Had two jackets potato’s and coffee so reasonable value for money and great food home made taste so nice lovely salad with it and the owner so nice and friendly would recommend it to anyone

After a walk at the NT Punchbowl, enjoyed a lovely lunch at Pickwick's. The whole family were made to feel very welcome and comfortable, including the dog! Staff were friendly, polite and attentive. The freshly cooked homemade meals were delicious and very reasonably priced. Will certainly be returning and recommending to family and friends.

I was enticed to try Pickwick by their board advertising bacon sandwiches on my way to my car service next to the overly busy NT café at the Devil's Punchbowl...a good decision...the owner + staff were very welcoming to both myself + my labrador, we sat outside, undercover + had a relaxed lunch...delicious sandwich + cake for me, water + biscuits for my dog. I will definitely go back.

Just stopped into Pick Wick for a bite to eat while traveling through the town. Food was great and nothing was too much trouble for their staff.

Attentive, friendly staff, delicious food (from a wide range of creative options), good atmosphere. Liked the artwork on the walls. Stylish outdoor area.

This is a very friendly, traditional, old fashioned (which I say as a compliment) café. Give it a go if passing. In my view it’s better than the café at the nearby Devils Punchbowl.

I have been here a few times now instead of the cafe at the Devil’s Punchbowl and have not been disappointed. The owner is very friendly and eager to make sure you have an enjoyable experience.

Wonderful service and food. Very hospitable host. Great food at reasonable rates, all cooked fresh to order. Very short walk from the busy and overflowing National Trust site at Devil’s Punchbowl.

It was good. The food was nice and the staff friendly. A nice spot for lunch before a walk around the devil's punch bowl

This is an excellent alternative to the rather limited catering to be found in the Punch Bowl Car Park. Staff were attentive without being pushy and worked hard to make sure we were happy. Just what one wants. No unnecessary frills - just rather good.

Wonderful little cafe, cake is amazing and coffe is prefect, staff are warm and welcoming, would highly recommend

We have started going to this cafe after walks and runs around the Devil's Punch Bowl just a few minutes walk away.

Very friendly staff. Very very nice cakes! Good coffee. Nice ambience. Will be back! Parking just outside or at the Devils Punch Bowl

4mins off the A3 at Hindhead and definitely worth it. The Owner welcomes us to this friendly cafe. Simple food cooked well. All with a glass of wine. Sat outside in this great February sunshine watching the world go by.

This is a lovely little cafe in a quiet road in Hindhead. Plenty of parking opposite. We just went in for coffee and cake.

Popped in for lunch and had a bowl of Chilli and rice with warm tortillas. It warmed my cockles for sure and was tasty and reasonably priced. Had a chat with the owner and will be booking into one of the themed meal evenings. Well worth a visit.

We went into the cafe looking for a takeaway sandwich before heading to a kids birthday party starting at midday. We have several food allergies so we were impressed with the owner’s willingness to prepare something suitable for us and serve it before midday which is when most other places would start serving their lunch menu from. At Pickwick we were able to get a homemade chilli with jacket potato and a freshly made salad as well other dishes to suit our dietary requirements of gluten and dairy free.

The perfect pit stop after cycling all the way up to Hindhead. There's always an assortment of cakes to pick from which go great with a nice warm coffee. Owner and staff are nice and friendly.

Good to have a warm welcome from the staff after our walk in The Punchbowl. The orange and chocolate cake is recommended it was delicious.

6 of us met at the Devil's Punchbowl for a walk and, rather than heading straight for the National Trust cafe, we wandered along the road to the Pickwick. We were made extremely welcome: tables were moved to accommodate us; we were advised that it was better value to order cafetieres rather than individual coffees and then, when we didn't order food, were brought a plate of biscuits!

Sitting in a light airy room listening to Sinatra and thoroughly enjoying the Avocado and Stilton toast that's just been brought by the friendly waitress. There are a range of cakes for afters including gluten free options. Just up the road is the beautiful Devil's Punchbowl. I'll be back!

What a welcoming café with a friendly host who made sure we had a tasty light meal even though it was the end of the day. Lovely.

A large group of walkers & a few dogs went here for a coffee. The staff went over & above the call of duty to make us welcome, bringing extra chairs out for us & bringing out extra coffee & biscuits, & even giving the dogs dog biscuits. Highly recommend it.

After our dog walk at Devil`s Punch Bowl we were hungry and found the little restaurant. We had the baked potatoes with chili and it was delicious. Also the coffee was really good.

We we went as a family of three. Lovely place, super friendly nice food and generous portions. Couldn’t do enough for you.

Had a great time at this cafe. Delicious tuna sandwich and chocolate cake, in a lovely homely setting. Would recommend

We needed to find a lunch around Haslemere promptly that had vegetarian and gluten free options. It is close to the PunchBowl, and we found easy 2 hour parking bays directly opposite on a Saturday lunchtime.

Thank you to the lovely Clive for letting us sneak in before closing. Lovely cosy set up, great choice of drinks and cake. Looking forward to the intimate celebrity chef “Supper Evenjngs”. Thanks again Vicky & Daniel

Pickwick offers all that anyone could want from a cafè restaurant. The food is good, the coffee is excellent, the ambiance is delightful and the owner and his staff are charming and helpful.

Me and eight other wet and cold cyclists turned up at the cafe door on Sunday having ridden down to the Devils Punchbowl from near Reading. The cafe owner welcomed us in with a smile and warmed us up with coffe and cake. The place was very clean and homely and the cake was amazing! I had the chocolate orange sponge cake and it was great (much better than the dry cake at the National Trust cafe up the road which I’ve been to previously). The owner was a really nice guy and went out of his way to serve us. Definitely recommended if you are out this way to visit the Devils Punchbowl.

I had a really delicious open sandwich here last week, lovingly made. It's always special to discover family run establishments. You get a different level of service - an entirely different experience from say, eating up the road at the factory-esque national trust caff. The maitre D served me up a special avocado toast, and noticing I'm the sort with a big appetite, he chucked in an extra avocado and bacon at no cost. Thank you very much!

Came in to Pickwicks after walking around the punchbowl for a snack and drink, Enjoyed our sandwich cup of hot chocolate water and piece of chocolate cake Yum Yum , All ingredients and cake was fresh, We sat talking to the owner and for over 30 min, A very friendly environment both owner and staff was very welcoming,

Three minutes walk down the road from the Devil's Punchbowl, we came here for lunch before our walk. It was very chilled and friendly. I had an avocado, bacon and tomato open sandwich and my husband had a prawn and smoked salmon baguette. Both were delicious. There was a good selection of sandwiches and drinks. We always try to find locally owned places to go and this didn't disappoint. Very friendly owner and staff. We would definitely return when down again.

5 ladies that lunch we met here for the first time ,all enjoyed our lunch, very nice owner, lovely atmosphere. will be going again ,

We'd seen this place as we were driving past and thought it looked nice. We made sure that we went before leaving the area. We arrived at opening time. The owner immediately welcomed us and asked where we preferred to sit and set a table up for us. He explained that he could do breakfast but nothing fried bacon scrambled eggs sausages all cooked freshly and to perfection. Hubby wanted a bacon sandwich but he likes his bacon well cooked it was perfect for him. While we were waiting for breakfast we were given a caffattiere of coffee which was lovely hubby had 2 lattes because he enjoyed them so much. So if you want top class food freshly cooked coupled with a warm welcome this is the place for you.

We came here with our daughter a little while ago to try something new. The food was absolutely amazing (fantastic tuna bagel) and the owner was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning next time we go to the Devils Punch Bowl!

We decided on Pickwick's for our breakfast we always Google best for breakfast :-)

Sincere gratitude to The Manager Clive;your hospitality is impeccable. Your facilities are delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed pleasant conversation with you as much as I enjoyed my lunch and glass of Italian Red Wine.

Don't usually do reviews and worried as others that my endorsement will encourage others to go! This really is a warm and friendly place to visit with great home cooked food and freshly prepared sandwiches. We have been back several times which is an endorsement in itself and always made very welcome by Clive and all staff members - a personal touch is always appreciated. We have been as a couple and with family and baby in pram has always been welcomed with high chairs and suitable toilet for changing nappies!! We will be back again soon and travel 200 miles just to eat here!! (and visit family!)

Popped in for a coffee and cake with my son after a stroll around the area. Very relaxed friendly staff, chatted for a while as I had recently traveled in from Melbourne. Sorry about the $50 note lol Lots of recommendations for me to go and visit. Thank you... you guys were just lovely! Coffee and cake was great :)

Popped in last minute breakfast before golf. Top quality food and great service. Cooks bacon to perfection !!!thanks from the Scottish lads x

Now opens some evenings. Perfect for a light supper and a glass of wine. Lovely friendly staff and only minutes away from the punchbowl. Can't wait for the summer evenings and a relaxed meal with friends. Perfect combination

Dropped in yesterday after family bike ride. Amazing. So much more chilled than the NT cafe.Staff were reallyhelpful, owner ever present to make us feel welcome. Great food reasonably priced.They bent over backwards to make us feel welcome .Highly recommend.

After a long walk around the Devil's Punchbowl, 4 of us decided to stroll down the road in search of some refreshments. Glad we did, as this was a good find!

Nice home cooked food, good Panini, cake and coffee and all served with a pleasant smile ! Didn't have my dog with me so don't know if its dog friendly. will find out next time I visit.

Wow just a few yards downhill from the car park what a find! The staff were warm and friendly and gave great personal service. We had two wonderfully freshly prepared salads and had a cup of really good quality tea whilst we waited, the wait was worth it. They also make a variety of sandwiches and baguettes to order, jacket potatoes and offer a good selection of cakes, biscuits and toasted teacakes. They do takeaway too!

I went for a walk around the area and popped in prior to driving home. Glad I did it was lovely. I had the chilli and nachos and it was first class. Clearly home made and pipping hot. Super friendly so see you next time

Keely and Clive looked after us and our children with smiles late on a Sunday afternoon. This place is a bit of a rarity nowadays - not only for the warm welcome, in contrast to most other cafés on a Sunday at 4pm - but also for the menu. They had a decent selection of freshly made sandwiches and paninis (with an interesting salad garnish - not just a leaf of lettuce and half a piece of tomato) and some good salads as a meal in themselves eg warm chicken salad, on the menu. To add to this they had nice fresh crisps and cakes and the house white (wine) is not bad either. We polished off the lemon cake with tea from proper teapots in nice china cups. The location near the lovely Devil’s Punchbowl National Trust property means you can walk off the goodies afterwards too.

Called in whilst car was being serviced. Enjoyed lovely chocalte cake,teacake and two lattes. As one of us likes weak coffees prepared one with one shot and provided extra hot milk. Keely was most helpful and friendly. Will definitely call in again.

A really friendly and welcoming place right by the Devil’s Punchbowl. Good range of interesting meals, freshly prepared from local suppliers. I have been there a few times, and am always happy to go back.

Lovely fruity toasted teacake and hot drink after a slushy walk. The staff are friendly and efficient and the cafe is clean and pleasant.

As a newish establishment the staff have decided to offer a limited menu to begin with, although there are some very interesting selections to choose from. The staff are friendly and helpful and the restaurant is very clean. Well worth a visit.

This little cafe caters for everyone. Nothing is too much trouble. Quite happy to vary fillings and salads according to your taste. And when the food arrives, it really is delicious! I love the open plan kitchen so you can see your food being prepared. The lady in front of house is so friendly and helpful and very quick to take your order and then to clear and clean. I unreservedly recommend this cafe to everyone. In addition they have the most wonderful selection of home made cakes, in case you have room!

Had a lovely coffee and cake stop here with a friend and her daughter after a very cold walk at the Punchbowl. Fantastic, friendly and very helpful staff, including Clive, the owner. Delicious, locally made cakes. Dogs not allowed inside but there is a lead-hoop outside under the sheltered open terrace - and Clive even asked us if he could take some dog biscuits out to my friend's dog! Great, local cafe - breakfast and other food also available and very child friendly.

We were a group of 11 having coffee and cake before a walk up Gibbett Hill. Warm, cosy cafe, friendly service, very easygoing. We’ll be back!

We were unable to get lunch at the nearby NT cafe, which stops serving at 2pm so used Pickwick for the first time. The staff could not have been more friendly, even giving some dog biscuits to our puppy. The food was delicious and fresh.

I went for an early lunch with my wife and two small daughters. The staff and food could not have been nicer.

My family and I visited after an afternoon walk around the Devil's Punchbowl and it was just what we needed. Three children very happy with hot chocolate and marshmallows (with extras for my little girl!) and various teas for the adults. The service couldn't have been friendlier. Would definitely come back and try the food next time.

Delicious cake and tea. Good selection of cakes to choose from. Much nicer than the NT cafe up the road.

Very friendly, really nice lunch, good value! Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch!

Having pre-booked for fourteen of us to have a family tea party here, and after a great walk at the Punch Bowl, we were welcomed with a choice of delicious sandwiches and a great choice of cakes. Clive and his staff did themselves proud.

Although the premises are small the atmosphere is very friendly. We visited for a snack lunch and both chose to have sandwiches. They were freshly prepared and quite delicious. The other items on the various menus looked equally tempting.

We have popped in here while passing, for some lunch. We were very impresssed with the standard of food, we all had paninis and a large freshly made salad to share.

We popped in here on the off chance of breakfast as not advertised outside. We had just flown down from Scotland so were very hungry! The gentleman in the cafe said what he could offer and we were not disappointed; bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, baked beans and endless toast and tea. There was a toilet suitable for anyone disabled too. A great place to stop and we would definitely return if passing by.

Following a walk at the Punch bowl we wanted to find somewhere a little quieter than the NT cafe. By walking the 100 metres into the village we found Pickwick and were not disappointed. Pleasant welcome and service and a good selection of food and drink.. Great finish to a terrific walk.

Usually using the National Trust Cafe as a meeting place we were grateful to the NT for having started a full refurbishment as this meant we discovered this, relatively new, -- it's been open about a year-- small cafe/restaurant and were delighted to have done so. Pickwick is not simply just another small 'cafe' it is a truly special and very pleasant outlet where, even though the menu is a short one all the food is clearly prepared with real enthusiasm and care as well as being very good value and the welcome you get from the staff, including the proprietor, was really special.

Such a lovely cafe. Been here twice now with my baby and the staff made such an effort to make us feel welcome. They didn’t mind at all about me coming in with a buggy and made an effort to get a high chair. So friendly. Lovely hot chocolate.

Called for a sandwich and coffee following walk around Hindhead Common. Less than 50 yds from National Trust car park, it’s a gem. Very friendly service with owner putting own twist onto popular favourites. I can highly recommend the prawn and avocado.

We stopped for lunch here to break up our London - Poole journey and couldn't have been more impressed. The staff were so friendly, the waitress cheered up our grumpy 8-month-old baby and gave him a bowl of cut up veg. Our baguette and panini with a side of apple and beetroot salad was delicious. We'll definitely be back again.

Lovely friendly staff and the food was great. Poppy was catered for and loved having her lunch with Paddington Bear sat at the table too! We came once before just for coffee after a walk around the punchbowl and thought what a lovely place it was...we wish them well and will definitely come back.

Stopped by for a quick snack before a stroll round the punch bowl. What lovely, friendly staff! A good selection of food - our sandwiches and baguettes were good. We will definitely be stopping by again soon.

It was busy but some kind regulars made space for us. The staff were so friendly we stayed despite the wait (which we were warned about) and the food was lovely. Definitely recommended.

Popped in with the family as the National Trust Cafe had altered its menu and didn't look very appealing. Lovely atmosphere: intimate, warm and friendly. Good selection of food and drink. We will definitely go there again.

We always stop at the Devil’s Punchbowl when traveling to the Isle of Wight, we've often passed this café on our way to the NT café, which is 100 meters further up, decided to use Pickwick’s this time as there was a parking space right outside.

My husband and I popped in to the Pickwick for a coffee en route to the Punchbowl for a walk. We were both feeling very low as we had just lost our beloved cat in a road traffic accident. The waitress was so warm and welcoming and made us feel so much better. We ended up staying for lunch which was absolutely delicious. I would go here again and again. The lovely waitress made a very bad day very much better. Thank you so much. Jane and John Harris XX

Afternoon tea was delicious (the coronation chicken sandwiches were divine!), fresh and served with a smile! Highly recommended this place! Only 2 mins walk from the NT carpark.

They were just closing but still welcomed us in. Tea and cakes were delicious. Thank you, the Locke family.
