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.

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!

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.

Had a lovely breakfast at the dabbling duck. The staff were all very friendly and service and food could not be faulted. There was only one fly in the ointment. We sat inside the cafe as did a lot of dog owners. My friend has allergies and is a bit wary of dogs so it was a bit off putting to her. They were also all a bit over excited and ‘talking’ to each other which made it hard for us to converse. I’ve no objection to well behaved dogs but not everyone feels the same for various reasons and they are not necessarily just being intolerant. The Dabbling Duck has a large heated marquee outside as well as covered heated outdoor seating. Would it not be a good compromise to welcome dogs only to these areas and keep the small inside seating area pet free. Other than that small niggle it was a lovely brunch before a bracing walk in beautiful countryside surrounding Shere.

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.

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.

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…

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!

Came for the italian style hot chocolate and it didn't disappoint. It's very rich and decadent so even though I really enjoyed it I couldn't finish it. Next time I think I'll get something savoury to go with it. Service was also very good and friendly and it's seemed to be very popular.

If all you want is a sandwich and hot drink, this is the best place to go in Guildford. The thick hot chocolate is awesome, you have to spoon it out. Chicken and pesto hot sandwich also a big hit. Outside seating, but covered with heaters, so no complaints!

Lovely italien coffee Shop serving Illy frozen coffee as well. They have also a good selection of paninis, Italien doughnuts, arancinis and more. When the weather is good you can enjoy your coffee and snack outdoors as they have plenty of seats.

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 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.

Emailed to book for lunch on 30/12. Responded quickly confirming our booking. As ever the welcome was warm, the service excellent and the food delicious. Highly recommended as ever. I love that you have such a great choice of small plates and large dinners along with a good selection of yummy cakes.

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!

I go to Natters for a filter coffee and a cake every day and have done so for many years. The best ''Guest' filter coffee is precision made at the table, the cakes (my favourite are Tiffins) are Vegan. The coffee and all their cakes are excellent. The young staff are friendly, kind and hard working. When it's very busy there can be a delay but it's worth the wait. The best place for coffee in the area.

The food was amazing and staff were great, they accommodated to my dietary needs without hesitation(which are not the easiest to accommodate to!). The food tasted great and the service was top notch. Not forgetting this cafe makes the best coffee I’ve ever had and the staff are always happy to help if you’re not sure what to choose from the menu. Great experience 10/10

Adorable cafe with inside and outdoor seating. I saw on the menu they do a pre-book afternoon tea as well! The loose leaf jasmine tea was a bit strong, but the pot was a very nice piece and my avocado toast was the delish. They compensated for our group of 6 and we all paid separately very easily!

Amazing little hole in the wall. Tasty coffee but it’s their incredible toasted sandwiches that stole the show. I would go as far as to say… best toastie I’ve ever had! (P.S. my pic does it zero justice.)

Such a great coffee shop. My husband is a coffee snob and highly recommends the authentic and variety of coffee here. The people were very friendly as well. Only lost a star because there really isn't any seating (I understand it is limited to their space) but great idea to have two ordering stations to keep the shop from overcrowding. Wish there was one closer to us!

There’s a charming café in my area that I’ve been visiting for several years now, and every time I go, it brings me so much joy. It’s not just a place to enjoy a good cup of coffee; it’s a space where friendships are made and cherished moments with loved ones take shape. They offer a small selection of delicious snacks—simple yet incredibly tasty. As for the coffee, I always like mine prepared a little differently than most, and they never fail to deliver an amazing taste every time. What truly makes this café special is the friendly and welcoming team. Today, in particular, I was impressed by Bogdan, a kind Ukrainian barista who has been working here for a while. His warm service and attention to detail finally inspired me to leave a well-deserved positive review and write a few kind words about this wonderful place. You guys are doing an outstanding job, and I wholeheartedly recommend this café to anyone looking for a cozy spot with great service. Wishing you all continued success—keep up the fantastic work!

We stopped at this spot after a long flight and it was just what we needed. It should be on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives - not a fancy place, but good food, good service for a good price. So if this is what you are looking for (see photo below) this is the place.

Best fry-up I've had for ages - decent ingredients perfectly cooked, with friendly service. And the majestic sauté potatoes should be mandatory on a fry-up... A far superior potato product to the tasteless, cardboard triangles of misery that have become the norm. Top marks.

My friends and I went here last weekend for brunch, and the experience was fantastic! It was super busy (as expected on a Saturday), and since we didn’t have a reservation, we had to wait an hour. However, despite the crowd, the service was excellent. A special shoutout to our lovely hostess, Hannah, who made us feel so welcome. The food was amazing—great taste, generous portions, and definitely worth the price. We tried the English breakfast and the burger, both of which were delicious! Plus, they serve brunch until 5 PM, which is perfect for late risers like me. The freshly squeezed orange juice was a refreshing bonus. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Bills are coeliac accredited, so always a good chain restaurant when looking for somewhere to eat with gluten free options. The gluten free menu is still quite big and the food is always good. Pretty decent size meals too.

Come here for fast, affordable, healthy option meals. I massively underestimated Bills, considering it just another chain restaurant, but in reality serves a range of great, well balanced, well portioned, reasonably priced tasty meals. I came here for brunch and was not disappointed. The vegan selection is varied enough to cater for most.

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.
