The Best Cafes in Abinger Hammer, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

I had the best brunch dish I’ve ever had here on Saturday. The duck and waffle is a must try on the menu! It was so delicious, I even enjoyed the kale and I normally hate kale! The service was excellent as always, flat whites were so good my friend and I ordered a second one each and just a lovely atmosphere in there. Great brunch spot with parking round the back!

One of my absolute favourite places, and can't believe I haven't written a review before! Fabulous food, both brunch and pizza. We always feel very welcomed and whenever the menu changes it's super exciting to find out what absolute genius meals they've come up with again! (Although I do miss the Mexican eggs, so crossing my fingers they'll be back this summer!) If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

So glad we stumbled across this little gem on our visit to Dorking. Delicious home cooked food, great drinks and super attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommended 👍🏻

What a beautiful place! My husband and I popped in for breakfast, and every part of our meal was fantastic. The ingredients are really topped quality, and cooked with such attention to detail. Service was fabulous.

Booking can be done online and thank you to the staff who remembered that it was my friend’s bday (i placed a note during online booking which i forgot lol) - they gave him a glass of wine upon arrival. Food wise- it’s reasonably priced. Huge serving and delicious. We got pork cutlet for main and lentil soup for appetizer. Dessert is just okay the brownie bite was kinda hard but overall it was an amazing lunch experience. Theres an art gallery within the estate and gift shop worth visiting. We werent able to do a vineyard tour coz it rained but we will definitely come back. Shout out to Kai- she’s very accommodating and warm to the gallery restaurant customers. She’s the one who took our order and served the food. All staff were lovely.

Really lovely tour. The train car ride was my favourite bit. The views were STUNNING. The only reason I’m not giving full 5 stars is because I did not enjoy the wine tasting. It felt incredibly rushed and we only tasted 3 wines, all of which were similar, I would have liked a bit more variety. As well as it felt like everything EXCEPT wine was being promoted. Really beautiful place though Lunch was AMAZING

We recently visited the Denbies Wine Estate and had a lovely time! The vineyard was beautifully decorated, creating a festive atmosphere that our kids absolutely loved. They especially enjoyed the train ride and meeting Santa Claus and Elves.

I would highly recommend the Wine tasting and cellar tour. Very informative and great to learn the history of the estate. The food in the Gallery Restaurant was exceptional with stunning views and first class service by our server Chloe.

Fabulous cafe tucked away of the main road into Capel. Nice breakfast, seating outside overlooking the lake. Friendly staff, very peaceful place. On a cold frosty morning warm yourself up inside in front of their real log fire.

Had a lovely chill time at Ruby’s and wondered round the lake. Vegan alternative was made and well enjoyed. Emma was serving us and gave us a lovely service. We were made to feel welcome to take our time and wonder the lakeside. Super relaxed. Good place for pondering. Friendly neighbour cat visited too!

We went to Ruby's cafe recently and had a lovely lunch, the staff were super friendly and the food was really yummy. Although it was very very busy the food came out quickly and the staff couldn't do enough to help us. Really lovely cafe and looks super nice since there has been improvements on the outside cladding. 10/10 would recommend!

Breakfast this morning with my amazing big sister, brother in law, nephew and Max the dog. They travelled 150 miles to get to me and I truly believe that empty plates, full tummies and smiles all round - speaks VOLUMES. Thank you so much lovely ladies for scrumptious food, welcoming atmosphere and I the beginning of a new tradition - SO VERY GRATEFUL Gem 💎

I enjoyed my late breakfast at Esquires today. The two staff ladies were very friendly and attentive. Loved that I could get a large table so my dog had more space to lay on the floor and have a snooze 😆. Food was good, coconut latte was good too. I will come back again.

Great community cafe with good choice of food and hot/cold drinks. We sat outside in the sunshine and shared a pot of tea with 2 scones, jam & clotted cream. The waitress was very helpful and the prices were reasonable.

Only really go for the under-5s soft play. The coffee has always been good, and the children's food is great. The soft play is decent for the size of the place and is a nice bonus. Could probably be a bit cleaner, but the children certainly don't care.

Having walked the length of Dorking high Street looking for a light lunch of soup the ONLY restaurant we could find was Burgundy & Black in St Martins walk & better still it was homemade, tasty & just what we needed on a really cold day. THANK YOU.

Amazing. I took my daughter here last Sunday for breakfast. The place was really busy but they found us a table and the lady that looked after us was really friendly and welcoming. My daughter had the all day breakfast and it was an amazing generously portioned amount of food. I had the bacon sandwich which was one of the best I've had. Can't rate the staff, restaurant and the food highly enough. We will certainly go back again. Thank you
