Rubys Cafe Fishing Lake Wigmore Lane in Mole Valley

Visited today, after reading the reviews, l couldn't believe l went to same place. My husband and l dont do posh, we like plain and simple but we were so disappointed in the place. It needs a lot of TLC to bring it up to scratch. Table coverings were ripped, and if they dont tackle the weeds soon, they wont have a seating area. We wanted chips, sorry no chips. So we had 2 bacon sandwiches. Bacon was ruined by cooking a couple of times. The tea was good. I am afraid we wont be returning, such a shame. Well, l have been forced to eat my words. I said we would not be visiting Rubys again because of the state of the place but, we decided to go and have a look to see if it had gone down hill even more, and so pleased we did. It is now under new management, the place has been given a complete face lift. Weeds under control, no torn table cloths, major alterations being done. All the girls that work there are really friendly, the food is all freshly prepared. It is now a joy to go there, which we do most weeks. Went today, and it is all nicely decorated for Christmas, even had the wood burner on, very cosy. Well worth a visit !

Great local eaterie. Beautiful location - great coffee and breakfasts - and lovely friendly staff

Nice cafe off the beaten track.Friendly staff and nice tea and homemade cakes.Seating inside and out with swings and a slide for children.Also a small fishing lake that looks interesting,will return with rods.

Just been for lunch and unfortunately left disappointed. We ordered cheese and ham baguettes but got a bap, when we questioned why we got bap, they said this is their "baguettes", but it's not baguette bread, the cheese is also a cheap grated cheese, not tasty. Rubbish on the floor, damp napkins, bit run down. We also had the omelette which was actually nice.

Came to have a look around the lake for fishing with my family, the lake etc was a bit tired looking and could do with some neatening up, the cafe itself seemed nice but we only had a cup of tea, but that was served very well in nice mugs, saucers and small jug of milk, will return for food another time, my brother in law commented that the toilet ( which looked awful from the outside) was actually spotless and well kept.

Beautiful location in Surrey on this privately owned lake .. the food is freshly cooked & scrumptious we had breakfast lovely hash browns tasty sausages thick bacon good portion size. Staff are friendly and helpful..You can even fish on the lake with a day ticket kids free with the owner Jon supplying fishing equipment what a star . Great place all round .

This is a really nice quiet spot next to a beautiful lily lake with good honest café food and an excellent coffee.

Awful breakfast quality was awful

We went to Ruby's cafe recently and had a lovely lunch, the staff were super friendly and the food was really yummy. Although it was very very busy the food came out quickly and the staff couldn't do enough to help us. Really lovely cafe and looks super nice since there has been improvements on the outside cladding. 10/10 would recommend!

Lovely place, lovely people, lovely food!

Delicious freshly cooked food, served by lovely friendly staff.

This little place is a rare find. Small cafe by a lake with seating outside under canopies. Good simple well cooked food served. Extremely reasonably priced. What makes this place really stand out though is the staff. It is rare to find good service these days, but exceptional service near impossible! The staff at Ruby's are polite, attentive, skilled, friendly - I could go on and on. This is what keeps people coming back here. Congratulations to the amazing staff at Ruby's. You are all rare gems!

Such a lovely place to sit outside and have a peaceful breakfast by the lake. The service was amazing along with the food too. Would recommend to everyone. such reasonable prices too.

Great cafe by the beautiful lake. The breakfast was super tasty, big portion too. Coffee also good. Highly recommend!

A hidden gem. Set by a lake this cafe provides a relaxing experience, especially on a lovely sunny day. The mushroom omelette is great. The food, mainly from all day breakfast items is locally sourced.

Had a medium range breakfast at Ruby's and it was brilliant, beautiful scenery, tranquil and great service, will be back 😊

It's nice to see it has been tidied up a bit with painted tables and a small play area. I see the toilets have been moved.

I don't really want to share this café, because it's so dam good. Hopefully you won't be able to find it, and I can get a table when I go for breakfast. If you are able to get here you will have the best fry up you have ever tasted. Seriously it's that good as the Heineken advert says "probably the best breakfast in the world".

Simple delicious food using good quality ingredients in a relaxed lakeside setting. The recent renovations have made it even better. My favourite cafe by far.

Consistently tasty, well cooked produce that tastes amazing. Nestled in a beautiful and peaceful setting with a fishing lake surrounded by trees and little sculptures. There are also friendly resident ducks who love to have your leftovers (not that there is any!) The staff are attentive and always serve your food and drinks with a smile. There’s nothing not to love about Ruby’s

It was our first time at Ruby’s and we were not disappointed we had a little walk around the lake and then had lunch , lovely food 🍱 cooked and served by Lily , will definitely be going back .

Couldn’t find it. Not sure it exists. Maybe closed down. Only private road there, no access

Very nice, inside or outside. Non greasy breaky!

Fabulous cafe tucked away of the main road into Capel. Nice breakfast, seating outside overlooking the lake. Friendly staff, very peaceful place. On a cold frosty morning warm yourself up inside in front of their real log fire.

Cannot be beaten, best cooked breakfast around. Chef always happy to tweak menu so that you get just want you want, you are never rushed and always made to feel welcome. Excellent service.

Great place for breakfast. Service was slow, but the food was worth the wait.

Lovely breakfast and coffee at Ruby's. Be going again

Had a lovely chill time at Ruby’s and wondered round the lake. Vegan alternative was made and well enjoyed. Emma was serving us and gave us a lovely service. We were made to feel welcome to take our time and wonder the lakeside. Super relaxed. Good place for pondering. Friendly neighbour cat visited too!

Stopped here for lunch, a bit rustic but lovely position on a lake. Instead of seagulls & pigeons begging for food you get ducks!

Food was excellent. It seemed really fresh, it was cooked well and plentiful. Sadly the food took over an hour to arrive, which seemed a lot considered there weren't many people and the menu isn't extensive. But they were aware of it without us asking or chasing, and gave us more food because of it so that's a win. I'd go again!

Couldn't ask for better. Slightly dearer but you get what you pay for and more.

Great snack stop off the beaten track. Fast friendly service. Right by the lake. This will be the new regular stop off.

Great place to go on a sunny day to sit and eat/drink by the lake, feeding the ducks. Great breakfast. Pleasantly unpretentious.

Just off the main drag lovely location right by the lake good food and coffee

What a cracking find. It is open on a Monday. Beautiful setting. Lady who served me mega friendly. Coffee and a burger watching the wildlife

Nice location . Friendly service . Cheese burger with pickles arrived after 25 minutes without the cheese and undercooked so I left most of it and couldn't be bothered to bring it up with the seemingly overstretched lady in the kitchen and wait even longer but the coffee was lovely. Will try out the cafe again but ask for a well cooked burger next time.

I came on Saturday two weeks ago. Food was beautifully cooked. The waiter and waitress were lovely, very helpful. I will be returning with my two kids and husband!

Came by few days ago. Undercooked and super long wait.

Waited 30 mins to be told that they had no salmon (which was the special of the day) Waited another 30 minutes to receive the worst breakfasts we have ever had. My toast wasn’t even toasted… The hash brown was actually grey… The kid behind the counter was apologetic and it wasn’t his fault, apparently the most senior person there was the chef and he didn’t come out to help deal with the complaint Unless you like sitting around waiting for disappointment then I would not recommend it

Beautiful location by a small fishing lake and fenced of for safety. Simple but clean cabin toilet facilities. Inside and outside seating. Now to the most important part. Once again, very Impressed with the breakfast, locally sourced sausages/thick cut bacon and homemade hash browns, free parking. Well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed. 👍

Great little cafe on the edge of a fishing lake with plenty of dog walks nearby. Locally sourced and good quality produce seems to be the order of the day. Yum!

Place is closed and it's not updated on google. I drove 12miles just to find out.

A cafe in the old style. Good grub without fancy decor.

Used to be really good. I haven't been up there for while, so I took my daughter and wife to have breakfast and it was disgusting sausages wasn't cooked properly and I wont be going back again. Such a shame

Delightfully dilapidated cafe with tranquil lake view and excellent greasy spoon style cuisine. Not greasy though - high quality ingredients well prepared. Charming.

Had a really nice breakfast in beautiful surroundings. Really good homemade food, clean air, ducks and even the cat joined me at my table. Such a shame the recent heatwave has impacted so hard on the fishing lake.

What a lovely find. Tea, coffee and all-day breakfast. All very straight forward. The location is beautiful by the lake.

5 star for location 1 Star for terribly slow service Food is ok. Nothing Special If You're in a hurry forget it

4 of us arrived last Saturday 18th , placed our breakfast orders and waited.. and waited..the kids working there came back 30 mins later to tell us we have run out of sausages, so we said to substitute for more hash browns etc, he went away only to come back 10 mins later saying they had run out of eggs, meanwhile still waiting for our cups of tea! Eventually our orders started to arrive one at a time! All were badly over cooked, with burnt bacon etc. The lads were apologetic and kept saying sorry for the misshaps, but this was not their fault as they had obviously had no proper training from their boss who was hiding in the kitchen whilst this was going on. Sadly we won't be returning to this epic mess of a so called cafe. Absolute joke!

We had Sunday breakfast here in June & thought the place was such fun, no pretentiousness just honest food in a tranquil surroundings. Perfect for dog - toddler- mum & dad + grandparents. Definitely will visit again.

The food was fantastic, the staff were lovely and it has a lovely cosy atmosphere would definitely recommend

Perfect point for enjoying nice weather next to lake and fishing. Staff is friendly. I just had a tea but i would like to have a nice meal next time.

Fantastic setting. Very peaceful, just birdsong to accompany a great breakfast. Food top drawer, love the homemade hash browns. Excellent value. Smiley friendly service

Poped in for a small late breakfast, it was perfect. I can't say any more, except, I will be returning!! Thank you.

Beautiful little cafe in a lovely setting. Staff our fab and always offer our dog fresh water and a treat. The breakfast is lovely and good value for money. Our new favourite cafe on a Sunday.

Lovely little find on my travels! Breakfast was delicious! All homecooked, quality ingredients. Sausages were lovely and even homemade hash browns!! Very friendly staff! Will definitely be back when in the area. Thanks.

Lovely spot for breakfast or lunch

Lovely friendly service and tasty food at a good price

The food here is homecooked and truly yummy. Just so others know there is no disabled toilet but there is basic toilets for customers in outside cabin. Staff attentive and friendly. Will be visiting again soon.

Breakfast was good came out quickly. Lovely bacon bap in fresh farmhouse bread. Dog friendly

Pretty good but cake options were strictly limited. Nice spot.

Nice place to sit and enjoy the food

Great cafe, lovely staff,good food and charming location

Very over priced for average food. Wouldn't recommend it at all.

Rubys should make more of the fact that it has its own lakeside sculpture walk.

This place was an absolute delight, the area is beautiful and the staff at the cafe are so friendly. The food was absolutely brilliant and it was well priced. I would definitely recommend to come here with family or friends or anything really!

Lovely place for lunch great place to fish Very friendly would highly recommend it

Lovely tranquil place to have food! The food is lovely, home cooked and so yummy! Lovely people there! Would recommend a bacon bap!!

Amazing and warm welcome! With fantastic quality fresh produce. Burgers are consistently good and a full English breakfast is just that. Eating by the fishing lake and laughing at the antics of the ducklings, simple pleasures and a well kept local secret.

I love coming to Ruby's Cafe at The Hoyle. Proper good quality home cooked food in a quirky yet peaceful setting at reasonable prices. You can't go wrong. It is a great spot for a bite to eat in the daytime. This, coupled with the well-stocked lake, make it a great destination for the casual angler like myself. It would also be a great spot to take children fishing.

Fishing quite good. Excellent breakfast

Called in after a walk on the Surrey Hills, what a great find! The best bacon baps cooked just as we liked them, friendly, very helpful staff. Dog friendly, looking forward to our next visit.

Sitting by the lake, close nature, whilst waiting for a delicious freshly Cooked breakfast. What could be nicer. Very relaxing

Having only recently moved to the area Ruby's is new to my family but has quickly become our favourite local spot... good food at honest prices in a beautiful setting owned and staffed by lovely people - go, you won't be disappointed!

Lovely setting. Potential to be a really nice cafe. Unfortunately food is well overpriced and not very nice. Wont be visiting again.

Great find food was lovely and reasonably priced. Will definitely go back

Great place. Lovely food. 🍳🌭🥪🥧🥧💐💐

Rustic setting to enjoy a cuppa and breakfast outside looking out over the fishing lake - quiet and peaceful with friendly service.

First visit today, and I had the anglers breakfast, and it was lovely. I thoroughly recommend you try it out yourself

Friendly staff and good food, what more could you need.

What a gem! Had a great breakfast and a yummy donut. Served by a lovely lady who was so friendly. Will definitely be back!

Lovely setting by its own lake. Food and coffee is fab. Perfect coffee stop for cyclists!

Fantastic place to eat and visit. The staff are very helpful. The food is great value for money and I would highly recommend. Daniel

Very friendly staff. Tasty food. Quirky decor

First visit not to impressed may have gone on a bad day ordered cheese burger and chips my wife had tuner sweet corn sandwich sandwich was fine wasn't very busy after about 20 minutes got our food burger was nice but no cheese chips were Luke warm and soggy. But looking at other people's food fry ups looked good.

Fantastic little cafe .Delicious food and friendly staff .

This is a great place to get a great value breakfast. Staff are really friendly and we will be going back !

Nice food but silly expensive...

A beautifully tranquil afternoon sitting in the sun by the fishing lake. The afternoon tea was really enjoyable and very good value.

amazing food at a very reasonable price and lovely friendly atmosphere and staff would highly recommend it

Could be a lot better. Only had a coffee and cake but wouldn't go back. I have been to transport cafes with better service and as for the outside area I wouldn't bother. The cafe could do with a full rebuild especially the outside seating area.

Great food served by friendly staff. Well maintained grounds and fishing lake.

Friendly staff, lovely lake, great food, just a nice homely, unpretentious feel. Sitting having breakfast outside (or in) is just relaxing and unrushed. Great watching people quitely fishing round the lake, and fab ducks doing there thing. What a perfect chilled out place. Dogs more than welcome as well! Well done Ruby's. Ps you have to check out the hand painted toilet's, and bespoke steel art by local artists. keeping it local and real.

Superb breakfast in an ideallic location.

Quirky surroundings.Ideal fishing.

Lovely cafe, well cooked and presented. The best hash browns ive ever tasted, apparently home made

A quirky easy going. Place to have a bit of food. On a nice day outside is good. But they also have limited space inside. They get a bit overwhelmed if it's a little busy. Did was good they are friendly.

Great place for food a bit on the price side but great food and if you like carp fishing it on a carp lake

Wonderful run little caf! Amazing views and lovely owners. Food was the best. They make their own hash browns

Excellent place with good home cooked food.
