The Best Cafes in Ash Green, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Super quirky, quintessentially English, engulfing ambience for coffee lovers, like yours truly! Brilliant coffee options, cakes, and menu! Highly recommended 👌

What an incredible, yet somewhat accidental find! Pinnocks is the most wonderful little cafe in the heart of Ripley. I wanted only to find a quick cup of coffee but what I found was an exquisite beamed ceiling and slate tiled floor, lovely farmhouse tables, a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Beautiful foods, perfect for a light lunch. There’s the gentle hum of conversation, a fresh produce delivery brought through… and what I was offered was not just a cup of coffee…At risk of sounding like a line from Rowan Atkinson in Love Actually…. This is SO much more than a cup of coffee! There are 7 different beans to choose from depending on your ‘roast’ preference. I chose Ethiopian and received a mug… Normally I prefer a cup, (because I’m a fan of delicate drinking!) but this wasn’t a chunky hunk of china. It was plastic and yet it didn’t detract from the coffee taste at all. Absolutely delicious! I cannot think of a better place to escape from the rain and enjoy an hour or so…I might be coming back for tea…

In my opinion one of the most underrated places to get a coffee in Surrey. The head barista really knows his coffee and they have a great selection of cakes. I asked for an espresso but was told it would be more like an aeropress/drip style. I was happy with that as I have one at home. I was recommended strength 6 and have to say it was very tasty. For cake, I had the white chocolate, pistachio loaf which again, was very nice. Service was friendly, fast and informative. Can’t ask for much more. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and coffee in a beautiful old building. Upstairs there are sofas. Be aware that the staircase is a bit steep and there are low beams. We have been here a few times and I would recommend their pancakes. The atmosphere is great however if you go in the winter, make sure you wrap up warm as it is a very old building and the heating isn’t great. In the summer, they do also have a bit of outdoor space. I would definitely recommend.

Great up-market cafe. It was pretty busy when we arrived although there were tables available inside and some more in the attached marquee. The food was very good and filling. The atmosphere was good too. Definitely worth a visit.

We stopped by for breakfast and I tried the Plucky Breakfast. It was delicious, and the bacon was definitely the highlight, it was perfectly cooked, which is rare to find these days. The staff were warm and attentive and the cozy atmosphere was just the cherry on top!

We had a great experience here the other day. This cafe restaurant was busy so we had to park a newlands corner across the road. The staff were friendly and even though it was busy the service was quick. We both ordered burgers for lunch, which cost £16 each. My own burger was the plucky pheasant beef burger, with cheddar and chilli jam. This was a mighty burger, that had a great taste, texture and was filled with toppings. It came with crispy french fries and a salad. Loved this burger! My other half ordered the Southern fried chicken burger which was also good, though not as epic as the beef burger. Worth knowing this is a dog friendly cafe, and at busy times like this there were about 10 dogs in the tented area where we were seated. All well behaved and a joy to see 😀 Updating based on our second trip here, as ever great atmosphere and place to get some excellent food. This time around I had a Moroccan lamb sandwich which was superbly tasty, my other half had the chicken panini which she wasn't too impressed by. The salad dressing looked a bit strange but worked well flavour wise . We sat indoors to order lunch, it was cosy, the staff were friendly as usual and food arrived promptly.

Lovely little cafe with tasty freshly cooked food The staff are really friendly and the food is reasonably priced Plenty of seating

Nice friendly service. I didn't order any food but the prices looked reasonable. Enjoyed a cappuccino and generous chocolate dusting

Jenny's is one of our favourite places to go for a cheap and cheerful breakfast. The staff are always polite and friendly and there are usually tables available though it can get busy at peak times! Definitely one of the best places for a 'create your own' style brekkie. They do loads of other foods including kids menus, sandwiches/panini's, burgers and so on. With great thick milkshakes too! Always tasty and served quickly, with a range of sauces available!

Never had a bad meal here. Food is always freshly cooked and delicious. Lovely staff, too. It has become our favourite place to have lunch at the weekends. Highly recommend 👌🏼

The Vale cafe is a nice family reunion n business. Polite and cheerful. The food is nice and plentiful, also very reasonable priced too.

Had a cup of tea here then we had a smoothly which was really nice. The only thing is that they only take cash not card.

Nice food, good value and service with a smile.

Let me start by saying don’t be put off by the bad reviews, most of them are because they don’t accept card, only cash or bank transfer. Which I think is great, cash is king, & too many people have succumb to this digital lifestyle after all the fear mongering Covid nonsense the government was spewing whilst they partied away in secret. Stopped here for breakfast/lunch one day was I was working in the area. Food is very good, it is your traditional greasy cafe without the grease. Good quality & good value, they use good bread, toasted perfectly & buttered generously. Chips cooked spot on, golden brown & still crispy, Good portions & a nice clean atmosphere. WiFi as well. Only thing that let it down for me was watery eggs, but over all it wasn’t enough to raise an issue. I’d definitely return when in the area.

A popular cafe which offers takeaway and eat in. We had sandwiches and tea. The sandwiches were made to order, with plenty of filling 😋. My husband used the facilities, he said was clean, but downstairs. I'm not sure if there's a disabled toilet that is on the same level as the cafe. Staff were polite, and we didn't have to wait long to be served. We called in at lunchtime.

First time we had a fantastic brunch today. Fresh and delicious. The staff is very friendly . It way to early to try the Hungarian goulash but definetely come back shortly . Thank you so much 🙏🇭🇺

Lovely little spot in the sunshine (when it's out!).... Always a great breakfast to be had there!

What a Gem 💎 of a cafe 😍 One of the best fry ups I've had in years and food all sourced from the local butchers down the road quality sausages and bacon ill be back for more...lovely clean premises

Great food. Lovely staff. Always return as a happy customer

Delicious brunch, lovely locally made sausages, poached eggs poached to perfection, all washed down with a lovely hot coffee. Service with a smile and great tunes 😁

Friendly, helpful staff. Great food. Reasonably priced. Nice cafe to meet folk for a catch-up. Customer parking outside soon fills up.
