Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Dorking

Lovely restaurant with excellent service and good food. I’ve taken one star off ambience, because it would have been lovely to have an open fire with on such a cold day. 

Meeting our son and his wife for a birthday dinner. Food and service were excellent. The tiramisu was the best I’ve eaten since our honeymoon in 1988. Will definitely visit again.

On recommendation, we booked for 8pm and were met promptly and politely by the FOH Staff and led upstairs - the room was really pleasant, the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. Started with a couple of cocktails then the scallops which we shared then the bream and the sole. Both were excellent. We had the Chardonnay from the ‘other wines’ list and it matched perfectly. Finished with asking if they could make a Widow’s Kiss cocktail (they could and it was great) I didn’t know there was a ‘downstairs’ but we were shown it, it looked as relaxing as upstairs. What was funny was my jacket seemed to catch people’s attention - it’s an action-backed tweed sports jacket, if you’re interested! Yeah, we liked it. We will be back.

Our second visit. Had the set lunch menu, which is good value. Food was fabulous (quite spicy) and excellent service.

Had the fishcakes for starters and pork for main course. Food was well presented. Was freshly cooked and served hot. Food delicious and reasonably priced
