The Best Restaurants in Christmas Pie, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

I think Sorrel is one of the best restaurant I ever visit in Surrey Area , here is in UK since 9 years I live in this country. I am always amaze how the chefs are preparing this finest food by seeing the presentation with perfect real délice. We was 6 of us, and all my friends enjoying the food, from beginning till end of Degustation menu which the only one choice , and it was perfect, also the Wine list a lots of choice. Love the ambiance of the restaurant , so cosy and relax old house . And the service was also correct , so after all just perfect fine dinning restaurant in Surrey area. I am glad and happy as all my friends they like it and keep thanking me by introducing this place. Sure and certainly I’ll be back again before I left this country. Highly recommended for those who knows the real fine dinning restaurant with high quality food.

Fantastic culinary experience at Sorrel on Thursday evening! Had the taster menu with wine flight and it was an incredible treat, very clever indeed! Even got invited to look in the kitchen, looking to return in summer! For me the dishes that stood out the most were the scallop, barbecued quail, supplementary cheese course and the blackberry waldorf dessert.

The food was very delicious, the setting is pleasant and the seats are very comfortable. The service was very friendly, described all the meals well but unfortunately they were rather slow, it took several courses until we got to order wine, another wait was for the bill. In a casual restaurant we would not mind but when paying £400+ for the meal for two, we would expect much more.

The most stunning experience and unbelievable combination of flavours, textures and science. Everything from the vibe, food and wine pairing were perfect. Steve is a humble genius and its reflective in everything he does and the vibe he’s created.

The waiter that served as was so friendly, me and my friend enjoyed talking to him. He has a good vibe. The steak and fries is good. The pumpkin soup wasn’t good too sickening after few sip

We had a very enjoyable breakfast. The atmosphere is great, the staff very kind and attentive, and the food and drinks very tasty!

I like this place! I went a few times with friends, we had different food and deserts and we liked everything in this restaurant! The service was good, so friendly and with a cosy atmosphere.

It’s a very happy and wonderful lunch time with my daughter.She liked the orange confit duck leg so much. For me the pork belly was very special and yummy.The atmosphere was so relaxing and the team was very polite and friendly with smiling face!Good service at all!We would highly recommend our friends and family to have an amazing gathering here.

Although I m not really into English breakfast, the dishes that others from the group got were nice. I tried a nice caramel tart and a wake up juice. Pancakes and granola yoghurt also very good. Price above average, but it is cobham! Very nice and elegant atmosphere in a quiet Sunday morning.

I recently enjoyed a delightful breakfast at The Ivy Cobham Garden. The meal was excellent, and the green juice was particularly refreshing. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. While the restaurant offers private parking, the space is limited and fills up quickly. However, street parking is often available nearby, and there’s a public car park just a five-minute walk away.  The atmosphere is especially charming during the festive season, with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree adding to the cozy ambiance. In warmer weather, the garden seating provides a lovely outdoor dining option. Overall, The Ivy Cobham Garden offers a wonderful dining experience with great food, attentive service, and a pleasant atmosphere.

I love going here. Great environment and atmosphere but the food doesn’t match up to the price tags, neither do the drinks. No one seems to care as it’s always busy!

I booked the big round table upstairs for me and my friends for my birthday! I had heard good things about this restaurant and everything was true! The atmosphere, the character of the building and all of the staff were super pleasant friendly and amenable! In particular Tom took a shining to our table And the owner even came up to say hello! The food was delicious and authentic the Italian, I should know! I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough we will be back again sometime over Christmas, go and treat yourself! 🫶🏼

Fabulous evening for our Christmas work do. Pino, Isma and Tom were exceptional in their service. friendly and funny 😁 The food is amazing, authentic home cooked Italian. Many thanks for an enjoyable time. can't wait to return

Excellent food! Great service! Superb atmosphere , great price too! I highly recommended ! I had a really excellent time here, over my expectations!

Good vegan menu with lots to choose from. Amazing garlic bread and house wine. Cosy atmosphere

An absolute gem of a restaurant, the food was top notch, super fresh and really varied but with a lovely Spanish flavour running throughout. The seafood options were excellent and I’d highly recommend it for that alone. Not cheap but fairly priced in my opinion for the quality you get. Service was relaxed but attentive and recommendations were readily given, clearly there are a lot of regulars too which is no surprise!

First time at Acorn Restaurant, and I wish we could have attend it much sooner! Exceptional food and service. Instead of having a regular practice of starting off the dinner with the starters and the main, we were advised to have a “flight” with the selections of starters. Indeed a valuable advise, and our experience was more than delightful. High quality food, and very reasonably priced for the quality of food that exceeds many respectable businesses in London. We will be coming back to explore the rest of the menu, and will be excited for every upcoming specials. Thank you!

I understand that it’s Spanish fusion but I wished they didn’t put too much of chorizo flavour as my choice of the menu were v limited. I don’t eat pork. So I had gambas for starter and the hot seafood as a main. It was too much of almost the same thing except of course the main was a bigger portion with lobster and fish in it. The staff serving us were friendly and polite. Cosy deco.

My personal experience of Acorn was fantastic. Went for the catalan bread to start/share which was unusual and interesting... Best described as a cross between a foccacia and a pizza. Main was the sharing hot seafood platter. This wasn't what I had in mind when I think platter. It's more a collection of seafood within a seafood bisque. Naming preconceptions aside it was DELICIOUS. perfectly cooked lobster scallops, monkfish and prawns in a rich seafood bisque bursting with flavour and rich intensity. It was outstanding. Desserts were a catalan version of pain perdu which was very pleasant. The tarte tatin was the better dessert for us though.. Bitter, sticky caramel balanced by the sweet apple heavy top. Served with a tangy and sweet whipped yoghurt. Service was very friendly and efficient. Chef likes talking to the customers which adds a very personal touch. Ambience slightly lacking but less to do with gwthw overall decor and lighting which was nice enough.. But more to do with the fact it was a midweek dinner and the restaurant was relatively empty. Although in my opinion it shouldn't be.. We had a terrific experience and will definitely come back again to try other dishes.

Booked this lovely pub for our 21st Wedding Anniversary as I have passed it many a time on bike rides with my club and always thought of giving it a try. The pub is in a lovely setting in the Surrey Hills and has a lovely country/gastro pub vibe to it with good parking and spacious garden area with rattan furniture. Inside is very modern and clean, staff are super friendly and attentive, with food coming out in a very timely manner. The menu has lots to choose from with plenty of vegan options so shouldn't be issues with food selection. Drinks are of a good selection with a cocktail menu and are freshly made without pre-made syrups. All in all a great place to celebrate our anniversary and if you're not celebrating anything, a lovely place to eat and drink in the Surrey Hills.

What a find, wonderful service, grateful food, and warm cosy atmosphere. A Soth African chef who understands how to grill meat!! Highly recommended! We will be back!!

Been here twice now and will definitely return. Food is a little pricey but it is worth it. Great menu with lots of tasty vegan options for starters, mains and dessert. Had the garlic flatbread with black olive tepenade, banana blossom "fish" and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce and to finish, sticky toffee pudding with oat flat white. All really lovely and service was brilliant. Look forward to returning.

I read somewhere that this place boasts the best Roast in the county, and they're not wrong. Big, hearty portions with a great range of offerings in additions to the classics. Desserts were the surprise package, get the Yorkie & Butter pudding, unbelievable Jeff. Staff looked after us really well and the setting is delightful. Top marks all round!

A fabulous pub. The staff were wonderful and made a big fuss of my dog, the food was to die for and the service was delightful. They even kept the kitchen open a little bit longer so I could have their vegan chocolate mousse (highly recommended). We will definitely be back.

Really friendly pub with great food and very delicious desserts. Highly recommend

My partner and I had such a wonderful experience. The food was incredible, extremely accommodating if you need to change something from your choice of food. Service was 10/10 and the waiters have a great sense of humour! Perfect, quaint little spot! We will be returning :)

First time visiting after wanting to for years! Really enjoyed our meal. Great, friendly service and food. Really liked the extensive menu and especially the dessert trolley! Looking forward to returning.

Excellent on every level. Food was amazing, the service was fun but unobtrusive and the building is amazing and seems much older than 1890 when it was (apparently built). The Beef Wellington is amazing and my whole group all enjoyed their meals. The price is according to the quality.

We found this place thanks to Google map reviews so I am returning the favour by adding a review. As others have said, the decor is dated but the food is delicious and the service quality is top notch. I loved the dessert trolley. Our waiter Mark was excellent. I will definitely be returning and will bring friends and family.

We’ve passed by this restaurant so many times and finally decided to try it. And we’re so glad we did! The food was outstanding. All the favourites were in the menu, plus great modern takes on the traditional dips. Especially loved the butterflied sea bream, the crispy Hake fillet, and the moussaka. And the freshest calamari! The great food was completed by the light and welcoming decor, staff and ambience. Not to be missed if you love Greek food. We’ll definitely be going back for more!

We had an incredible dining experience at *Theion*! The food was absolutely amazing, with each dish crafted to perfection. The starters were a highlight, spoiling us with fabulous flavors and presentation that set the tone for the rest of the meal. To make the evening even more special, they surprised us with a thoughtful touch by writing "Happy Anniversary" on our dessert. It was such a lovely gesture that truly made our night. Exceptional service and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended for a memorable meal! --- Feel free to modify it as you see fit!

Beautiful venue. Amazing food. Great service. Highlights were everything but especially the feta, and everything else to be honest!

What a find! This place has very charming interior with very high ceilings and stylish tableware The food was a 10/10, with presentation being very aesthetic, and every dish being extremely tasty and full of flavour. We loved the dips with pita bread, fried feta in honey, and beef croquettes For the main we shared lamb and sea bream. Will absolutely come back again

Absolutely superb; head chef Charles introduced himself before dinner so you can ask any questions before you order. The food taste and quality was excellent with a very good wine menu. All the staff were welcoming and very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. An excellent intimate dinning experience and highly recommended.

A lovely chef who likes to get to know his customers and enjoys a chat and conversation regarding food. Great presentation, very tasty well cooked dishes. Menu flexibility available. Very customer focused staff and the provision of an honest bar. I think this dining experience is excellent value and fully recommend it.

Absolutely outstanding!!!! What a treat to have such a talented chef in Guildford (Worpleston). Food was incredible, favours seasoning, presentation. Service was great, albeit a little difficult for the waitress from the other diners. Something to consider when you eat at a small restaurant is that it’s a small team. Delays are okay- have a glass of wine, look at the koi in the pond. Relax! The quail blew me away, as did every other course but this was my favourite. I cannot wait to return- pricing is incredible reasonable to!

The restaurant is a gem. You wouldn’t expect from the outside a fantastic dinning area with a lovely koi pond and stunning well looked after garden. The food is perfect balancing both modern and classical styles. It is also the perfect meal with all of the courses being well balanced and unique which leave you wanting more. Very hospitable and kind service. Combined with a well put together menu and dishes well executed.
