The best restaurants in Dorking South Mole Valley South East

Great fresh food as well as cakes to die for. Such a relaxed place to go for a break.the food is so fresh and delicious. The cake choice is fantastic and we seem to order an extra one to share.

Superb burgers... so glad I swung by and gave it a go. Had so many bad van burgers in the past that I usually give vans a miss. Not this one, I'll be back soon!

Very pleasant in every aspect but an outstanding chicken and vegetable soup was worth commending as was the pleasant atmosphere and staff

Wonderful food stall selling locally sourced food. It operates on Fridays and Saturdays. Apart from the regular items of meat, veg and bread etc, there is always something new to be found, depending on the time of year. Star service is friendly and helpful. A great place.

I've eaten a lot of Chinese food in my life. From Soho to Shanghai to Singapore. I've had the simple, the fancy, the obscure and the extraordinary. Some good, some bad and some unpronounceable. Chifan fits exactly where it should in the spectrum. It's tasty, it's reliable and the staff are lovely. I'd happily order in here anytime. Ask them what you want and they will do their best to help. Ask for wine and they'll produce a surprisingly good wine - list. In short, this is a restaurant that does exactly as it should. The owner, Jessica, should be proud of what she has achieved. The people of Dorking are lucky to have her.

We heard of Jon through the Guildford Butchery (which is also a hidden gem). I ordered the Reubens People Co. Chilli Con Carne seasoning kit, and the House Rub. I can safely say that the seasoning kit led to the BEST chilli con carne I have had. The flavours had punch, the heat was perfect, and the kit itself was greta fun to put together. The experience itself was over and above what I expected. Jon is onto a winner with Reubens People Co. and I can't wait to try out the House Rub and Jerk Seasoning next!

Holme from home. My absolute favourite place. Calming interior, fantastic food and lovely staff. Cinnamon buns are perfect 🫶

Amazing food, beautifuly prepared and served. They created a special menu for my wife as she doesn't eat egg. The restaurant has a relaxed and comfortable vibe. Also, loved the music playing quietly in the background.

Nice breakfast served by very friendly staff Will be back.

Great food and service. A high standard. The only downside is that the menu is a little too restrictive - too cheese based to offer many options to the non cheese eater to =r the dairy free, no gluten free desserts. Other than that, top marks

The coffee wasn't bad but there are no toilet facilities in the cafe. We were told that the nearest toilets were in Waitrose and that we would have to use these. We also thought they weren't very dog friendly. My wife had our small well behaved poodle on her lap, well away from our table and everyone else's table. A rather grumpy manager appeared and told us that all dogs had to have four paws on the floor, pointing to a sign on the wall. The manner of this delivery was sadly not very customer friendly. We of course complied but haven't been back since.

Great little cafe in the traditional sense. Italian theme but traditional English breakfast served. Clean and the staff were very helpful.

Hopefully this excellent coffee lounge will re-open soon. Visited just before the lockdown and had an excellent lunch in the sunny garden room. The staff were very friendly; the food was of high quality, well prepared and the prices were reasonable. It's well worth a visit, as it is home to a very large, fine quality antiques centre. We spent at least an hour browsing and purchased some silver (there is a wonderful selection of genuine silver and objet's d'art here). Dorking remains an old-fashioned market town and this tea-room is a gem.

Awful! We went to this wine bar for lunch and ordered sandwiches. Firstly the sandwiches were awful! We ordered a cheese sandwich and opened it to find no cheese inside! The staff then went on to have an argument in front of us, leading to a waitress snatching a lunch off a customer because they gave it to the wrong table. For being a wine bar you would hope the staff could open a bottle of wine instead she struggled and handed it over to the customer to open! The food was slow, well below average and awful service! Don’t go!

Myself and my partner had a great evening, 3 course dinner and a lovely bottle of wine plus after drinks under 100 pounds. The staff were really friendly and the service was fast. I had fish which was amazing with side of vegetables. Really good food. We were thrilled overall and we loved the experience!
