Lovely range of food, best coffee in town. Food served quickly by polite and friendly staff. The cafe is clean and bright and has a toilet. Best cafe in Dorking!

Delightful find when visiting Dorking. Very light and airy cafe with good access for wheelchairs, pushchairs etc and enough space inside for them. Delicious soup and roll, with the option of having the roll warmed. Since I had only ordered a soup I received a complimentary glass of tap water. Cafe is staffed by young people with learning difficulties. I would definitely return when next in Dorking

I visited here worse for wear after coming off my bike. The staff were superb, they patched me up and then served up a fine coffee and cake. The staff and management were very kind and lifted my spirits on an otherwise painful day. Will definitely return when next in the area and hopefully, minus injuries.

I stumbled upon Aldag Charity Cups & Co during my first visit to Dorking, and what a delightful find it was! Walking down the High Street, my hunger led me to explore a random cafe, and I'm so glad I did. The charming appearance of the cafe caught my eye, and little did I know, it had a heartwarming mission of employing individuals with learning difficulties/disabilities. Although I'm quite particular about food, I decided to give it a try, and I must say, I wasn't disappointed. The flavors were on point, and even my discerning taste buds were won over. The standout for me was the sorbet, a burst of amazing flavors that left me wishing for a bigger serving – it was that good! The staff at Aldag Charity Cups & Co were not only well presented but also incredibly polite. The lady who seemed to be overseeing things was exceptionally sweet and attentive, making the dining experience all the more pleasant. The sincerity of the staff and the positive atmosphere they created added to the overall appeal of the cafe. If fate brings me back to the area, there's no doubt I'd make a return visit to Aldag Charity Cups & Co. It would be for that irresistible sorbet and a refreshing iced coffee. This cafe is a true gem, not just for its culinary offerings but for the positive impact it makes in the community.

What a find!! As soon as you walk in their’s such a warm welcome from the employees. I think it’s fantastic having a cafe in Dorking that’s giving people with learning disabilities the opportunity to work in the community. The service was amazing and the food delicious! I’m looking forward to going back and working my way through the menu! Compared to other cafes in Dorking it’s very reasonably priced. They also sell cards in there that are hand made by people who go to the grange. Our server called Guy was exceptionally helpful, polite and chatty. It really does make a difference getting a service with a smile! Another plus… it’s dog friendly! Can’t wait to go back.

I’m so pleased we took a spontaneous trip out to visit brewbird! The most gorgeous, secluded, peaceful coffee spot. The coffee was delicious and my toddlers ADORED their hot chocolate with marshmallows! So many lovely touches, such as bringing over beautiful wooden hearts for the children to colour and hang In the archway to keep them busy. How lovely to see so many walkers, families and doggies coming and going. There was such a lovely buzz. We will CERTAINLY be back! ❤️

If you’re in the Surrey Hills, BrewBird is an absolute must-visit! Susie, the owner, infuses this charming coffee van with her passion and warmth, creating a delightful hidden gem for all who wander by. Her homemade sweet treats (often using foraged local fruits) and savory lunch options are simply delicious. On a sunnier day I will try the homemade ice cream. The little touches—beautiful flower gardens, a cozy hanging love seat, lamb’s wool rugs on the benches, and fresh-cut flower posies on each table—make it an inviting and memorable stop. Plus, the yummy treats for furry friends are a wonderful bonus. BrewBird is a true testament to the joy of local, homemade goodness. Don’t miss out… we’ll certainly be back for a visit whilst out on a stomp in the woods again soon!

What a hidden 💎 very unique idea and that’s why I love it, it differs from all the standard cafes in the area. It’s definitely the cutest little countryside cafe that I’d recommend to everyone!! The attention to detail can be seen everywhere, you can see a lot of care and thought has gone into this. The cakes are delicious and homemade ice-cream (!!??) was a great hit. The lady who lives there also makes all the food herself which is very impressive. Coffee also came with latte art which is always a plus. Will definitely be back!

Incredible cakes, sweet and savoury tarts, soups and even home-made ice cream. Great coffee two. A fire and blankets on cold days and covered benches on rainy ones. Garden games, reading material and crafts often on-hand. A really beautiful spot and always a friendly welcome from the lovely owners and their gorgeous dog. The walking around here is brilliant, it’s a fun steep path up to Wolvens Lane with great views (and on to Leith Hill and/or Coldharbour from there if you have time). Or there are flatter walks to Dorking and Westcott. Strongly recommend for light lunch or coffee and cake with friends or family :)

A charming and delightful hidden little coffee oasis tucked away off the beaten track. No parking available, you can only get here by walking, huddle around the open pit fire place and enjoy a delicious cake and coffee. Open 10:00 to 15:00 on Saturday and Sunday only

Sell Electrical have been our preferred contractor for a couple of years now. They're an extremely reliable company with outstanding customer service and faultless workmanship. Sell have carried out a considerable amount of works at my home and business properties, and all of their team are a pleasure to work with. I fully trust and can highly recommend Sell.

I used this company for the first time recently to fit some wall lights. They were very efficient and nice to deal with. The price was reasonable and the electrician did a really tidy job.

I'd arranged for Sell Electrical to come out to my property to fix 3 issues that I had with sockets and erroneous spurs. The engineer Neil arrived exactly on the stroke of 10am as arranged, and he quickly understood what was required. He was very polite and disruption to the household was minimal. Any dust or mess was cleared up efficiently on completion of the work, plus I was given a full explanation of the what he had needed to do. It's unusual to work with tradesmen who don't suck their teeth in and shake their head when the required work is shown to them, and then explain how the job is so much bigger than was initially thought. I highly recommend Sell Electrical, and I shall be using them again whenever required. Thank you Sell Electrical! 10/10

We're new to the area and were keen to find really good local trades people for work on our new house. Sell electrical performed brilliantly. Initially asked to look at an extract fan replacement / repair, Jeremy arrived on time and was extremely helpful, not only with advise and repair on the fan but in helping me to understand other aspects of the electrical installation in our new house. All round great service and great value. Have already asked them to come back do more. Thoroughly recommend.

Early call-out on a Sunday morning due to a tripped RCD, Dune arrived within less than 30 minutes and was able to resolve the issue and get us back up and running within a couple of hours. Very friendly and price very reasonable. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!

Dune was an absolute star! He offered advice over the phone and then once we realised it was a bigger issue he was straight over and fixed the problem we were having with one of the sockets tripping. So friendly and kind and we will be using him for any future work we need doing and recommending his to our neighbours! Highly recommend!

We lost power in the recent storms and ZA Electrical was so helpful! Dune did a video call with us straight away and was able to sort our electrical issues very quickly. He was very communicative and knowledgeable. Will certainly continue to work with ZA Electrical in the future.

From the outset Dune was 100% engaged providing advice over WhatsApp in the first instance and then coming out late in the evening to swap out a defective shower pull cord (melted switch!) and install an outside light. He worked effectively, tidily and considerately during his time in my house, and did a great job. Highly recommended.

Justin and his team at CMD Electrical Services were very professional and experienced and we would definitely use them again for any electrical work that we need doing. They did the electrical work required in our newly renovated bedroom, fitted lights in our loft and hard wired our ring doorbell so we didn’t need to keep charging it. All work was carried out promptly and fitted in well with other trades that were doing work at the time. Very reasonably priced. Great company and highly recommend.

CMD are amazing. Their patience, customer service, friendly nature and their strong price competitiveness makes them a joy to work with. I cannot recommend them enough - I just wish all trades people were like them. I will have CMD on speed dial for any future electrical requirements! With CMD, I know I will get an amazing end result.

I recently had the pleasure of using CMD, led by Justin, for several electrical jobs spanning over several months. I must say, without a doubt, they are the best firm of electricians I have encountered in all my years involved in property management. One incident in particular truly exemplifies the exceptional service provided by CMD. On a recent Sunday afternoon, a tenant reported a sudden electrical failure in the kitchen. Concerned about finding immediate help, I reached out to Justin, who promptly responded and allocated time on a Sunday to address the issue. Despite the inconvenience and the need to travel to Central London, Justin arrived within hours and swiftly repaired the fault with utmost professionalism and efficiency. I was prepared for a hefty invoice for the emergency call-out, but to my pleasant surprise, the fee charged for the work done at such short notice was incredibly reasonable. This experience, along with numerous others, solidified my belief that anyone seeking electrical services should look no further than CMD. Justin and his team consistently demonstrate their dedication, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend CMD to anyone in need of a reputable firm of electricians. Their unparalleled professionalism, prompt response times, and fair pricing make them the obvious choice. You won't be disappointed! Marc.

It's a rare occurrence these days to find excellent service and expertise. So it's with a great deal of enthusiasm that I can actually say that Michael from Ambient Electrical Services displays both of those qualities and so much more. He recently fitted two electrical units for me, he responded incredibly quickly to my initial enquiry and fitted me into his already very busy schedule. Customer service fantastic, professionalism first class, value for money great. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Michael is an excellent electrician. We have used him at our business for the past couple of years. He is reliable, honest and trustworthy: what he doesn't know about 'all things electrical' is probably not worth knowing.

We have known Michael for many years. He is very professional, dedicated and hard working. No challenge is too big for Michael - he has sorted our garden lights problems, despite a very wet environment and many faulty parts, saving us the need to replace the system at an enormous cost. I highly recommend Michael!

We have used Michael at Ambient for many years, both personally and for our business. He has become a member of our team, having used him more than several times. We can rely on his honest and considerate services. He has never failed to fix every issue we have thrown at him. From basic lighting to fitting new heating and even assisting in our solar energy project, he has delivered every time.

I’ve lived in Dorking for just over a year and walked past this little cafe every single day, always looked in but sometimes it’s just a bit busy for me as I start work early, made me even more curious! Definitely waited too long to try it out!! I love their coffee! Not sure but I think it might be Lavazza!? This place is great! I can taste the freshness of the food every time, I just bought an Italian Herb Chicken baguette but I’ll have to save half for a bit later eheh.. I saw in a previous review that they are a bit pricey, I don’t think so at all, the food is delicious and whenever I go there I don’t even look at the price because I know what I’m getting is so worth it!! :D

The food was very delicious, the setting is pleasant and the seats are very comfortable. The service was very friendly, described all the meals well but unfortunately they were rather slow, it took several courses until we got to order wine, another wait was for the bill. In a casual restaurant we would not mind but when paying £400+ for the meal for two, we would expect much more.

I think Sorrel is one of the best restaurant I ever visit in Surrey Area , here is in UK since 9 years I live in this country. I am always amaze how the chefs are preparing this finest food by seeing the presentation with perfect real délice. We was 6 of us, and all my friends enjoying the food, from beginning till end of Degustation menu which the only one choice , and it was perfect, also the Wine list a lots of choice. Love the ambiance of the restaurant , so cosy and relax old house . And the service was also correct , so after all just perfect fine dinning restaurant in Surrey area. I am glad and happy as all my friends they like it and keep thanking me by introducing this place. Sure and certainly I’ll be back again before I left this country. Highly recommended for those who knows the real fine dinning restaurant with high quality food.

Second time at the restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience. It was a mini honeymoon as we got married the day before. We went for the wine flight too and was served by Luke(?) who was very interesting and served some incredible wines. Flora (we think that was her name!) was our server and she was exceptional. And finally, the food was just brilliant and so so tasty. It felt a bit like having the best food we've had in ages in a family home type vibe, so lovely was the atmosphere. Obviously it cost and arm and a leg, but it's really worth it and you must have this kind of restaurant experience at least once if you're able to, especially for a special occasion, or if someone else if paying! Thanks again for making the effort with the flowers, personal menu etc. It meant a lot! Cheers, Dave and Chloe.

Fantastic culinary experience at Sorrel on Thursday evening! Had the taster menu with wine flight and it was an incredible treat, very clever indeed! Even got invited to look in the kitchen, looking to return in summer! For me the dishes that stood out the most were the scallop, barbecued quail, supplementary cheese course and the blackberry waldorf dessert.

I've visited for lunch and dinner on a number of occasions now, and always the food and service are just excellent. The staff are warm and attentive, without being over friendly. But when you open up a conversion yourself, they are more than happy to engage with you for a chat. The food is without fail both delicious and beautifully presented. Great wine choices too. It's a restaurant that seems to like to play down its presence in the town - there's no shouting about special offers on social media. And they've never asked us to do a review (which is partly why I'm doing one!) But the truth is that it's my absolute favourite restaurant in Dorking or anywhere nearby.

I don’t normally ever leave reviews but I drove over an hour to meet a friend for dinner and it was well worth the drive! The staff were lovely and attentive and it had a few parties even on a Tuesday night. All of the food was delicious and really generous portions.

An outstanding evening meal for a family birthday. This is the second time I have eaten here and it really is superb. Beautifully decorated, with luxury touches. The menu is detailed so needs to be studied. The food is cooked and presented to perfection. Even the salad leaf, tossed in oil tastes amazing! We were a party of 5 and ate starters, mains, just 1 dessert and coffees. Everything we had was exceptional. The owner greets you like family and really makes the experience a special one. We visited on a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was busy.. this isn’t surprising considering the quality of food, service and ambience. One of the nicest local restaurants I have been to. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Food is beautifully served with large portion sizes at a reasonable price. I would recommend either having lots mezze or having a main as having both can easily lead to ordering too much food. The service very efficient and friendly and they were kind enough to put our excess food in boxes to take away, rather than have us do it ourselves.
