The Best Cafes in Burstow, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

This is my second time in Shere and at The Dabbling Duck. I came last year as well. I travel from New Zealand and love coming to this place with my family here in England. Great food and staff.

Lovely dog friendly cafe in a beautiful village with lots of outdoor seating. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. They have a good selection of lunch options. The only critique we would make is that the coffee and walnut cake had little to no coffee in it. But lunch was delicious.

Cafe with quite a large garden area (partially covered - they have a heated yurt!) which is well done up and nice to sit in. Good selection of cakes and drinks with table service. A bit pricey though!

First time came and amazing village… we had latte and duck (which is full)breakfast which was very delicious. What amazed me was the breakfast was hot till half way through as I ate slowly… lol. Anyw, that was super tasty for me. The whole experience was lovely and we planned to come back again some time in the near future.

I had a very good birthday meal here! Sumiya was a very sweet and funny host. 5* food and drinks were great! All the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Great Sunday roast, great friendly staff. Loved that they spoke to my 10 year old directly. Really made it special. Sumiya was particularly friendly

We have become regular customers at the Cherry Tree since moving to Copthorne a couple years ago, and have introduced a lot of our friends and families to the restaurant. All of the staff are so lovely and accommodating, however a very special mention and thank you to Sumiya, Fatima, Lou and the owner and head chef Sherif, who are always so attentive and go above and beyond every visit. We have held two private events here within the last year, my baby shower for around 40 guests and my husbands 30th birthday catering for around 90 guests including children. Nothing is ever too much for the team and it really was the perfect day. Sherif was able to cater to the dietary requirements of some of our guests, and prepared a separate buffet board especially for them. The hog roast and bbq buffet went down a treat and every single guest commented on how the amazing the food was and how impressed they were with the venue and staff. We can not thank the team enough for the incredible service provided at the events and each time we visit. The Sunday Roasts are also a favourite of ours! *****

Fantastic place for cyclists to stop for a cup of coffee and a snack, or a full on brunch. Plenty of seats outside and 2 floors inside. There is a place to park bikes outside, too! Plenty of room all in all and no need to book in advance. Wide selection of cakes, pastries, scones and sandwiches, salads, what have you. Absolutely everything was delicious, and I loved your porridge. Thanks a lot, will definitely be back!

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.

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

A lovely service and beautiful food well presented and prepared the cappuccino is also top 😀 Notch..!!!

Flew in from Paris yesterday morning and straight to the Station Cafe for a tasty Mega Breakfast on recommendation by my brother-in-law living in Horley. Good service and ambiance.

Had an excellent breakfast freshly cooked with good quality ingredients - the sausages were especially good! Had a nice chat with the delightful Portuguese owner. I’ll be back!

Best fry up I've had in ages! Worth the reasonable prices and staff are friendly! Thankyou!

Have just moved into the area and decded to go for Afternoon Tea for my hubby's Birthday. The food was awesome with lots of coffee and tea refills. Had to grab a takeaway box as couldn't eat it all. Excellent value for money and now booked in to try their food in the evening. If it's anything like what we have had already then it will be great

Lovely pub with friendly and helpful staff, and cozy atmosphere. The fairy lights made it feel extra special. The food was reasonably priced especially the set menu for 2 courses at £18. We tried the gammon steak, chicken buttermilk burger and onion rings and can recommend. They also have a few vegan options as mains and 1 vegan dessert. Toilet was clean and tidy as well. Would definitely go there again. :)

Had a traditional pub lunch here. Food was nice and hot and overall everything was good. We choose because it was within walking distance of our hotel and had a good sized menu with varied choices. Prices where about average for the area and no one had any complaints. Being Americans we liked how old and traditional the building and decor was. Nothing really stood out as exceptional, but I tend to be tough when it comes to raving about how good a place is. Definitely worth a try if it's not to far.

We had a fantastic afternoon tea here on Saturday afternoon. The service was great, atmosphere lively and the food was outstanding. I am gluten free and I was so impressed by the delicious fresh food and variety. I have eaten several afternoon teas at some of the local high end hotels and this was by far the best! We will definitely return and recommend to all.

I don't know why but Costa Coffee in Horley just seems neater, tidier and calmer than other Costa Coffee shops. Spacious, calm friendly but not obsequious service, hot well made coffee...just a nice start to the day.

I had a free coffee token so wanted to try something different, but didn't want to go too high calorie. The lady was able to recommend a few options and I went with the Haze Maple Latte, which was real good.

Had a young lovely sever called Darcey she welcomed us with a warm smile she quickly and happily got our drinks as well as the brownie we went to go for as always it’s a must have it’s 1 of the best brownies I’ve had the pleasure to taste. Definitely recommend!! Chris at the bar was lovely to go up and get drink had a lovely chat. And a sever named Penny was warm and chatty looked like he enjoyed working there. Lovely place to visit

We came in for an impromptu Sunday lunch and the food and service were fantastic. Special thanks to Aaron, daisy and George who looked after us from the moment we came through the door. Always had a good experience here and this was an unexpected Sunday treat. Will definitely be back soon.

I absolutely love it here. The staff are very pleasant. The food is truly delicious. They offer healthy diverse choices. I wish I could eat here everyday. Thank you!

My husband and I and our dog went to the Shipley bridge and had the lamb shank shepherd pie it was amazing we then had sticky toffee pudding which was so nice . The staff were so lovely and friendly the service was great our dog was made so welcome too . Definitely will recommend the Shipley bridge to all my friends and family

We have had an excellent experience overall. We were a little early for check in, but we sat in an area that we could place our luggage while we had some lunch. We entered a nice, clean room that had very comfy pillows and large bath towels. The shower pressure was phenomenal. Everyone we encountered were extremely pleasant and polite. The area is quiet and lots of space outdoors. The food was delicious, and lots of options for different dietary needs. Very cute place with a relaxed atmosphere.

I’m blown away at how perfect yesterday was at the Curious Pig, celebrating the life of our Grandad Raymond. The front of house team, Jamie, Gareth and Georgie could not have done any more for us. They were so accommodating, allowing us private access to the entire pub until the evening and set everything up for us in the morning so that we needn’t worry about were to position photos, flowers and treasured memories we wanted to share with guests to look at on the day. The food was a hot buffet and was excellent! They literally went over and beyond tending to our every need, even down to vases at the last minute, and even plasters! We will definitely recommend anyone with a celebration using this pub and will be returning again soon. Thank you so much!

I found the experience here delightful. I had the turkey roast which was succulent and of a very good portion. Massive Yorkshire pudding exceptionally large carrots and a scrumptious rich gravy. It was truly grand. They gladly gave us extra gravy when asked and were attentive to our needs the entire meal. I do love good and friendly service. This is the place to dine. Lovely countryside surrounds your drive there as well.

Great food and great service

It's a cafe with good service and delicious food.
