The best restaurants serving British food in Mole Valley South East

Staff not discreet about my food allergies. Didn’t like our choice not to use QR code. Food served tepid and not all meals together

Thank you, Garden House, for a wonderful lunch today. We decided to go for the lunch menu, and everything was delicious, from starter to dessert, and the service was fantastic.

Really enjoyed my meal but would have been so much better if we had been greeted with a smile. Front of house was a little moody but the waiting staff were very good.

The best pub in Bookham, good selection of drinks excellent service

Called your phone number but stating not recognised. Are you still open?

Wonderful Sunday lunch here. Bright, clean restaurant with amazing views. Servers were attentive, efficient and friendly. Food was perfect and well-presented. I recommend the roast beef. The roast potatoes were crispy with fluffy middle. My daughter enjoyed the cod. Atmosphere was relaxing - no noisy music or rowdy groups. Very impressed and we look forward to returning before too long.

The food was good, the service was not! Went as a family and basically got rushed off to leave as they had another booking. We didn’t get asked if we wanted pudding (which we actually did want pudding). The lady brought the bill over and stood there (desperate for us to leave). Never known anything like it to be honest, it really let the restaurant down, such a shame as the food was nice.

Everything was burnt or dry . Gravy was so thick- would never go back

A Most Precarious Repast at The Old House at Home There are few things in life as sacred as a well-poured drink and a sturdy table upon which to set it. Imagine my horror, then, upon entering The Old House at Home, only to find myself dining not in stately comfort but in a state of perpetual imbalance. One reserves a table with the reasonable expectation that it will, at the very least, stand firm beneath one’s elbows. Alas, what I was met with was a rickety, quivering contraption, trembling at the mere suggestion of movement. My fellow diners and I found ourselves locked in a silent contest of steadiness, each lifting a fork with the precision of a bomb disposal expert, lest we send our glasses skidding into oblivion. To make matters worse, this architectural affliction was not limited to my table alone; no, the neighbouring furniture appeared to share in this affliction, as if the entire room were engaged in some grand, lumbering waltz. A wonky table is not mere inconvenience—it is an insult to the art of dining, a sign of neglect so egregious that one wonders whether management has mistaken rustic charm for outright disrepair. One does not expect to endure a siege upon one’s senses simply to enjoy a meal. A man should be free to place his drink upon a table without fear that it may betray him. Until this most elementary of expectations is met, The Old House at Home shall remain, at best, a folly; at worst, a farce.

3 of us went for lunch and what a lovely time we had. We were greeted very warmly & took a seat in the cosy restaurant. Our drinks orders were taken quickly & then the lady came for our food requirements. Everything that we ate was delicious, well presented & extremely tasty. Afterwards we had tea & coffee & as the coffee machine was not working they were all complimentary, how kind. Our experience was totally relaxing, the ambience in the whole pub was so welcoming & the staff cannot do enough to help you. Absolutely superb, we were all very impressed and will be returning as soon as we can. Thank you to all the team, I very rarely say things were perfect, but this certainly was.

Great and tasty portions. Really helpful over the phone in terms of booking as we had a voucher and wanted to check what we could have. Scones were a real highlight. Staff were really lovely and really helpful - food obviously all came out together but kindly delayed the tea coming as my wife wanted it with the scones at the end.

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.

As usual our lovely place didn't disapoint scrambled eggs on granery toast very tasty plus my friend had a veggie breakfast very impressed with the quality ingredients lovely atmosphere with a warm fire place very welcoming

Absolutely fantastic food. Pleasant and attentive staff. A true country pub, highly recommended. Plenty of offb road parking Thank you

Normally you are asked to sit and someone will take your order. So we sat and waited and waited!!! In the end I went up to the counter to order. Staff unfriendly and quite dismissive. Table needed a clean but as we weren’t eating I didn’t bother to say anything. Second time I’ve been very disappointed in Handley’s in the last month so will avoid in future if their competitors across the road are open!
