Ten Tables Restaurant in Guildford

Driven past this hotel a few times and saw the sign outside for Ten Tables so decided to treat my husband. Great bar area with pretty array of filament bulbs and the restaurant is really lovely with just 10 tables as you would expect. Nice music playing and a lovely garden although it was dark and cold the evening that we went. We should have gone a few weeks ago but our booking was cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances" which it turns out was that the chef left (which is a real shame as his reviews were fabulous) but we were assured the new chef was just as good if not better. I had the beef short rib croquette to start (delicious ) and my husband had the scallops - well .... The plate came out with only 2 scallops (think they could have put 3 on for the price of £13 !). Nicely presented in their shells on a bed of greenery which we assumed to be a crispy curly kale or similar (the lighting is quite subdued in the restaurant). My husband tasted the greenery and declared it a little soggy so I tried it too. It had a very bitter, nasty taste and it made both of our tongues go numb. When the waitress came to clear the plates we asked her what it was to which she replied "You didn't eat it did you ? It's Fake Reindeer Moss". Apparently not poisonous thankfully and on checking with the chef it's also thankfully non toxic. 24 hours later and my tongue still feels peculiar. IF YOU CAN'T EAT IT DON'T PUT IT ON THE PLATE !! . The venison main course was delicious and we will go back on a summers evening so we can enjoy the outside.

The restaurant is a gem. You wouldn’t expect from the outside a fantastic dinning area with a lovely koi pond and stunning well looked after garden. The food is perfect balancing both modern and classical styles. It is also the perfect meal with all of the courses being well balanced and unique which leave you wanting more. Very hospitable and kind service. Combined with a well put together menu and dishes well executed.

The best restaurants in Guildford in my honest opinion! A hidden gem. Eaten multiple times here,& always fantastic food/service & even with staffing issues the latest time, still managed to accommodate us for a friends birthday. Can’t wait to go back 🎉

A lovely chef who likes to get to know his customers and enjoys a chat and conversation regarding food. Great presentation, very tasty well cooked dishes. Menu flexibility available. Very customer focused staff and the provision of an honest bar. I think this dining experience is excellent value and fully recommend it.

I would definitely visit this place again. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The restaurant is very quiet and cozy with modern decor. Great place to have a nice dinner! The service was very welcoming and nice which made the experience even better!

Went there on a date night last night and we both had a lovely time. The restaurant has an intimate, chilled feel and some very welcoming staff. The food was modern European with a range of seasonal options. The wood pigeon in particular had a lovely texture, while I'm still thinking of how rich and sumptuous the jus was on the lamb saddle. We had the toffee apple cheesecake for dessert, which was playful and creatively presented. It's definitely worth a visit and we'll be looking to go again in a few months.

We had and amazing dinner. Delicious and very tasty food. It’s really fine dining. The service was absolutely fantastic and we will be back!

Superb food and friendly service. Very much worth a visit to enjoy some delious morsels.

Absolutely outstanding!!!! What a treat to have such a talented chef in Guildford (Worpleston). Food was incredible, favours seasoning, presentation. Service was great, albeit a little difficult for the waitress from the other diners. Something to consider when you eat at a small restaurant is that it’s a small team. Delays are okay- have a glass of wine, look at the koi in the pond. Relax! The quail blew me away, as did every other course but this was my favourite. I cannot wait to return- pricing is incredible reasonable to!

A fantastic news restaurant with great service and lovely food! We had starter, main and dessert and it was all delicious. The service was really good and the atmosphere is lovely as the restaurant is small and overlooking a nice garden. If you’re in the area would definitely recommend!

Ten Tables had only been open a couple of weeks when we visited in April and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food. Everything was absolutely exquisite! The four of us had a lovely meal, enjoying three courses with complementary amuse-bouche and a botttle of wine. It's not a large restaurant, maximum 20 covers (ten tables of two) and, being recently opened, it was only half full. I suggest you go before they get booked up!
