I have driven past this place many times and had always promised myself one of their full English breakfasts. It was around 930am on a Wednesday morning on a glorious sunny day when I went past the entrance and decided that today was the day I'd fulfil my self promise. Drove up the drive and turned into a reasonably sized grass covered car park. Parked up and made my way into the Farm shop and ordered a full English and a cuppa. Came to £10.90. Went outside as it was such a nice day and found an empty wooden table with bench seats available, sat down and enjoyed the sunshine and watched children playing on the fort and rocking platform whilst waiting for my breakfast. It wasn't long in coming. A nice full English two eggs, two rashes of bacon, a couple of hash browns, a couple of sausage patties, half a tomato, mushrooms and a couple of slices of toast and butter plus a cup of breakfast tea - should have taken a photo of it but was more focused on eating. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. As I ate a succession of cars appeared and the car park and tables filled with families, Many with young children. Seems I had timed my visit to perfection. I shall certainly be returning.

This is a wonderful little farm shop that has some fantastic food and friendly service. The shop is lovely. Seems to be all home made food very nicely presented. Service is friendly and efficient. The seating area is quite large with some big tables. Outside area is also available. Would really recommend a visit.

The most beautiful coffee shop, in an idyllic setting. The food is diverse and caters for everyone. The staff are super helpful and it is dog friendly. They also have two beautiful donkeys in the paddocks. You can also buy local produce and homemade items. Why go to Costa when you can go somewhere like here.

If you’re looking for authentic Indian food, I highly recommend Tikka Nation Restaurant in Dorking. The food is delicious, with a wide variety of options available. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. It’s a great place to visit with family or friends to experience the flavors of India.

A Family-Friendly Spot with Flavorful Fare Tikka Nation offers a great option for a quick, family-friendly meal. The diverse menu, including unique street food options, caters to a wide range of tastes. The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. We enjoyed a delicious meal, with highlights being the butter chicken curry, chicken tikka loaded fries, and chaat platter. The chaat platter was particularly impressive, featuring a combination of flavorful dishes like samosas, chickpeas, and puri-based treats. Our daughter's chicken tikka nan wrap also looked appetizing. While the parathas decent, the naan breads were a bit disappointing, being flatter than expected, the overall meal was tasty and reasonably priced. I would rate this restaurant 4 stars.

Me and my friend had an occasion to try some food here. Must say people working there were really nice and helpful. We order quiet a lot of food, dished were served quiet quickly, All the starters were delicious, mains piping hot, the only down hill was a lamb curry which I would of expect to taste bit difrent. But other than that I would recommend this place to everyone.

Excellent place for breakfast, decent portions with quality ingredients for a good price and friendly staff. Even better without the yappy dogs that came in, but don't let that get in the way, this is a great café.

I had the main Fuse box changed and an EV charger installed. SES were professional, friendly and explained the benefits of what was being changed. Very pleased with the outcome. Would definitely recommend them.

Fantastic company! I accidentally drilled into a power cable and was panicking that a fire or something would start! Felt so stupid... but called these guys and they were brilliant... and on a Sunday evening too! Came out the following day and sorted my mistake out for me, and at a very reasonable price. I'll definitely be saving their details for any future needs... thank you so much... 5*

After being messed around with our EV installation, we contacted Jay and arranged a quote, they were quick to install and works were carried out to the highest standard. Would highly recommend.

Didn't know this place existed until recently. Went looking for toilets for the kids when doing our usual walk at Boxhill and discovered this gem is a place. It is advertised as the oldest bikers restaurant but has a wood fire pizza place and a lovely and affordable menu. There are toilets on site and also parking. There outdoor area is quite large and cozy. The staff and service was awesome too. Will definitely be returning.

The best biker cafe I have ever been to. Great collection of motorbikes to watch, very social ambience and good food. Don’t miss their smoothies and strawberry milkshake.

Rykas (now refurbished) is great. Really good smash burgers and pizza. Big screen for sports and friendly service. Especially busy in the summer on Sundays when there can be hundreds of bikes getting up.

A great biker and petrol head meetup cafe. We had a nice cheeseburger and fries (although the fries had a sprinkling of a strange unfamiliar powder). Mocha and cappuccino were brilliant. Loads of parking. Limited indoor seating but it also has a covered seating area in a high tech tent.

I absolutely love this place. Been coming since I was a kid (31 now). Food is delicious, atmosphere is brilliant. And now it’s been refurbished there’s a great space to watch live sport outside. The vegan burger called Plant Power, is the BEST vegan burger I’ve ever had. Bloody lovely!!

First time to this cafè as I was in there area. Very nice cafè with good social distance measures in place. I ordered ham, egg & chips and was nicely surprised to see I got proper ham (thick ham) not the thin ham from the packs. Prices are fair and food is a good standard. Staff are friendly. If your in the area you should pop in.

Proper breakfasts, great portion sizes and good prices! The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful, they let me choose just the bits of breakfast I liked which was really appreciated. Delicious breakfast, really well cooked and high quality ingredients, and the coffee was absolutely fantastic as well. This is the only place I’d come for breakfast in Dorking now! Thoroughly unpretentious and delicious.

This is just a refreshing break of the hustle and bustle of the High Street, it feels like an oasis of calm, and a friendly space where you can enjoy a cup or two by yourself or with friends. I really enjoyed having a cuppa here

Fantastic local, family owned coffee shop. As a self confessed coffee snob, this is by-far my favourite coffee shop. The staff are excellent, always friendly and take care and attention when creating their masterpieces. The coffee is amazing- I drink cortado’s and whenever I order one elsewhere, I’m so disappointed! The sweet treats are wonderful. They have a selection of classics (brownies, tiffins, granola slices, pastries ect) but also have incredible fancier options to indulge in (opera cakes, cheesecakes, Mille-feuille, macarons ect). The prices are so reasonable, especially for the quality served. I always recommend this place to my clients. The only danger of this place is that I work on the high street and can’t help but visit once a day 🙃

Been to this lovely pub many many times and plan on going there many more! Good prices and as lovely as it is inside the outside area with the little booths takes the cake for me! Tried one of their hot dogs on my most recent visit and it was huge as you can see from the pictures and absolutely delicious! Messy to eat but it was honestly so good I didn't mind one bit!

Lovely pub with some great features! Food great and huge portions. Because of where we were seated (tucked away just outside Narnia) I think the service could have been better. But not really a problem. Would recommend.

A few weeks late in writing, but as promised here’s our review.. After a long walk around the Dorking countryside we ended up here .. amazing food, we all had the roast chicken and all throughly enjoyed it, large portions and crispy potatoes. I would recommend a visit maybe book before .. we were lucky and they had a free table but it was very busy.. the pub had a good vibe and really friendly staff.

Absolutely superb. It was difficult to choose something from the diverse menu. I eventually chose the ravioli and it was nicely presented and absolutely delicious. It is extremely rare that I finish a meal, but I did this time, and it was wonderful. The levels of customer service were top-notch. The members of staff were lovely, exceptionally welcoming, attentive and knew the menu. They were able to answer questions adeptly. The male member of staff who served me was really nice, friendly and had a good sense of humour. The restaurant was very clean and I liked the way in which it was decorated. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I would recommend this place 100%. ***We attended this restaurant again, namely in March 2022. The members of staff were exceptionally welcoming. again, I was impressed by the diversity of the menu and the excellent range of vegeterian and non-vegetarian options. Throughout our time at the restaurant, the members of staff were constantly cleaning and taking an interest. The table settings were really nice and there is clear evidence of effort being placed in the decor.***

We were greeted at the door with a friendly smile and shown to a clean and well-presented table. The menu offered a good variety of food, and the dishes were beautifully cooked with generous portion sizes. The staff were friendly, helpful, and engaging, and we want to give them a special thank you. We will definitely return when we visit Dorking again.

Delicious Lunch at Arto, Dorking I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arto in Dorking for lunch, and I was thoroughly impressed. I opted for the duck breast, which was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The dish was complemented by perfectly cooked broccoli, adding a lovely crunch and freshness. The dauphinoise potatoes were absolutely divine — rich, creamy, and indulgent without being too heavy. The balance of flavors and textures was spot-on, and the presentation was beautifully done. The service was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Arto for anyone looking for a quality meal in a charming setting!

I visited on a business trip and was not disappointed. The service was extremely friendly and helpful. They food was great and the menu nicely varied. Of course, we had gelato for dessert! I chose two different flavours and I hope to sample more if I end up in the area again. Thank you for a lovely evening! Pictured is the gorgeous starter I enjoyed.

My wife and I have been to the Rialto Lounge restaurant several times in the last two years and were always happy with the food and service, but on our last visit I ordered veal. I thought it looked like chicken as the colour of it when I cut it was white. I queried it with the staff and they said it was veal. Now I am a regular eater of veal at home and this was nothing like it. So I ask the person that cooked the food to explain what was going on and admit that a mistake had been made, or they will lose two happy customers.

We got the seafood spaghetti and the veal. I loved the generosity of the seafood, I kept finding more Mussels. I veal was a bit disappointing, but overall happy our meal. The gelato is a must! So many gorgeous flavours to choose from.

Had a really solidly good meal here. Between us, we had tasty pasta, pizza and a veggie burger, followed by gelato and cannoli. Really good virgin mojito. I didn't get a photo, but the interior is painted like Venice - nice touch. There's a little bit of outdoor seating for the good weather too. Totalled about £90 for two adults and two kids.

We were passing from the area and it was recommended by another store employee. The place inside is simply but nicely decorated with the murano glass chandeliers and the wall painting indicating where its name come from. The Italian style burger was simple and nice, as were the pastas. The gelato was also nice and in decent quantities. Paid 120 gbp (including tip) for a company of 4 but didn't get antipasti.
