The best restaurants in Dorking South Mole Valley South East

I think previous reviews haven’t made the distinction between the Tanhouse Cafe near Newdigate and their other branch, the Tanhouse tea bar at Leith Hill Tower on top on Leith Hill. They are associated but not same place being five miles apart.

Food was lovely and fresh with a great variety, service was lovely and very friendly.

Pub Quiz night.....great fun Really friendly atmosphere

Greasy. Ordered a chicken wrap with chips, came to £16 so was expecting something half decent....I was wrong. Couldn't taste chicken, just oil. Couldn't eat here again.

I've got reason to believe this place has been consistently overcharging me for some time. Since April they charge £5.49 for a mega box. The menu in the shop says £4.99. All the stores I've been to London and rest of Surrey charge £4.99. But at the till they charge £5.49. When I call them out on it I get "sorry, the menu is wrong, we can't change the till price, call customer service". This meal cost £3.50 last year. Like their wrap which cost £1.99 before last Xmas and now costs £5.49 but with crisps and a bottle of water. If they had significantly upgraded the store and food in this timeframe I'd get it but there are literally rats running round the shop, google this for evidence. The food isn't worth the price either. Always a tiny leg of chicken with dry hard skin and a weird colour. Lord knows how long they've had the chicken lying there for. If I ask for a thigh I get told they're for customers who order the bigger buckets. Does it really matter that much to you? If someone is ordering a big bucket anyway do they need the extra big pieces? Also there was a well publicised rat infestation in 2024. The only good point about this store is there is a toilet, but more often than not there's kids vaping in there

The manager, Mel, is amazing. She is so welcoming and efficient, and has trained her staff beautifully. She knows my regular order without me even having to order it! She manages a great team and should be highly commended for great leadership and customer service. Always a pleasure to visit.

The manager Ava was very rude towards her fellow employee. As well as that her employee was also very rude towards me. He seemed like he didn’t care and kept acting irresponsibly. The bread was stale and the salad bar looked off. Clearly he wasn’t paying attention to my order as he gave the wrong cookie. He also made me pay twice and accused me and not telling him it was a meal. Not impressed.

Had a lot of orders from seabreeze ! All were amazing apart from one ! And they have covered that no problem. ! Great people highly recommend 👌

I ordered some ice cream and cookies and the cookies were absolutely lovely however the ice cream was out of date and the brownie pieces were moldy I called back up and reported this and they apologized and told me I would get a full refund and voucher however I received neither of these and it has been over a week. Very disappointing and disgusting experience however employees were lovely

Unfortunately the Food was terrible Pancake rolls where full of grease I ordered an item and was sent the wrong thing , then although I never have before and they have always sent the right item when I phoned to complain, was told to order with the Chinese item on the menu , no apology or offer of correction The rice had gristle and soggy skin in it And the curry sauce had a burned flavour Only one dish was ok We have used this shop for years But won’t for a very long time , if ever again A real disappointment

First time back after their revamp and totally changed with great coffee and great food options, will be back for more soon

Service was prompt. Unfortunately the chicken fillets were very salty and chips soggy. Expensive. A week after my visit I was dismayed to learn in the local press that a rat had been reported on the premises!

Had a burger that i needed to spit out and throw in the bin. Made it through about 2 bites. Burger was made up of beef mince, and had no flavour to it. Inside a stale bun covered in basic cash and carry source.
