The best restaurants serving British food in Mickleham, Westhumble and Pixham Mole Valley South East

Gallery restaurant, Denbies, Dorking, Surrey It started with the restaurant manager being difficult about opening windows on a hot Mother’s day afternoon. There was no a la carte menu, just a 3 course meal for £39.95 (which wasn’t made clear at booking with an annoying £10 per head deposit). The prawns were miniscule and the 1000 island dressing, hardly there. The leek and watercress soup clearly had never seen a leek and tasted more like fish stew. One and a half hours after we first sat down, the main course arrived. I do enjoy a roast sirloin of British Beef but not when adulterated with garlic (which wasn’t mentioned on the menu). Lucky I am not allergic to garlic. Most restaurants enquire about allergies when taking the order but not this one. The vegetables were hardly cooked and difficult to cut. No sauces or condiments were offered. Apparently, you have to ask. Sadly, I hardly ate anything of my roast dinner. We decided not to go for a desert, and management kindly let us have the 2 courses for £32. All mothers were given a small bunch of daffodils except for our two. We did ask and begrudgingly received two. I couldn’t wait to get out. Never again.

I was looking for somewhere in this area for afternoon tea. I couldn’t see a menu so emailed and was sent one quickly. This looked good as it had some interesting options, and a selection of savouries. So I booked for a friend’s birthday, but what we got was very standard, with no sausage rolls etc. I see the photo of the afternoon tea for Mother’s Day on Facebook shows ‘the full works’, but I wouldn’t bank on that being what you’d get. I did email afterwards with this feedback, but had no response. I’d suggest going elsewhere.

Lovely little bike shop. Popped in here to buy a few odds n' ends for my bike. Hard working couple in the shop. Scorching hot day but cool inside and purchased a tasty coffee to takeaway.

Love the views here! Great service and food, such a unique pub. We'll be back.

We had a great Sunday lunch meeting up with Friends it was an easy train ride from London and a nice walk up the lane to get there. Food was well prepared and presented, great portion size and menu options for all including the kids.

Very average meal, used to be really nice but seems like it’s changed hands. London priced food, but tasted not great. Would avoid in the future. Very limited menu.

A part of the restaurant of this charming pub was booked for a small family wedding reception . We couldn’t have been better looked after or fed any better. Preparations a week prior were all laid out and on the day nothing could have been done better. Food was absolutely excellent including a vegetarian option . Service was spot on, with all home cooked food . Well done for old fashioned service good food and drink at a fair price .

This is one of the greatest places on planet earth, I shed a tear eating here. This doesn’t just apply to me, all 3 of the people I came with all also wept tears of joy

Visited on Tuesday, we were meeting halfway between Windsor and the South Coast with friends. We didn't want a full hot meal however the alternatives were scarce and poor. 2 soups one looked unappetising and the other was empty so we went for a sandwich. The only choices were beef or sausage and egg. Hubby doesn't do egg so went for the beef. I had chips only. Beef was tough and the crusts inedible. I told the staff that the carrot soup was empty whilst first at the servery so after discarding the beef sandwich I went back expecting it to be refilled. I was wrong and when I asked again was told it would be 2 minutes. 10 minutes later I was offered the soup straight from the kitchen. A roll was offered and butter but I had to ask for this. By the time I managed to eat my food coffee and chips were cold. Overpriced and underwhelming with poor alternatives to hot food. We will not be back
