The Best Restaurants in Great Bookham, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Not the quickest, but the food is 100%, if it's busy you can have a wait but it's worth it, proper food at extremely good prices, really good coffee.

The chicken burger is to die for (so is the regular burger) and the english breakfast is scrumptious

Stopped here for lunch today - we knew nothing about it before we went, but were so glad we did. It's not glamorous but the staff are friendly, the food is great and terrific value. Well worth a stop if you are in the area.

What lovely, friendly ladies there. Park up and relax. Also, food is good 👍 😋

Best place ever! The food is so delicious 🤤 the atmosphere is like you are dining in a warm place somewhere in Toscana, the service is on top and it’s such a welcoming place with a great vibe! My guests loved it too and I was very pleased with all the food we ordered as it was fresh and the place really clean! Can’t wait to go back ❤️

What a fantastic new restaurant for Leatherhead. Ate here last night for a special birthday. The food was outstanding, everything we ate between us. The staff are so friendly and helpful without being in the least bit intrusive. The restaurant was quiet as it is new and people need to go and try it. You won’t be disappointed.

We had a wonderful meal here at very reasonable prices: three courses and a 250ml glass of wine for £45. The service was very attentive and the waiters were friendly and engaging to just the right degree without being invasive. It was a pleasure to chat with them actually. The food was extremely tasty, and when three of my mussels were left in the bowl because they hadn't opened, the waiter even offered to get me a small extra portion, but that wasn't necessary. Highly recommended.

Great service from Alfonso last week, loved the food too! The fact I was the only one in there didn’t take away from any of the experience, even then the atmosphere was great. Not least because of the quality music played! I’ll be back again more than once to try various other dishes I also like the look of

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.

Second time at the restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience. It was a mini honeymoon as we got married the day before. We went for the wine flight too and was served by Luke(?) who was very interesting and served some incredible wines. Flora (we think that was her name!) was our server and she was exceptional. And finally, the food was just brilliant and so so tasty. It felt a bit like having the best food we've had in ages in a family home type vibe, so lovely was the atmosphere. Obviously it cost and arm and a leg, but it's really worth it and you must have this kind of restaurant experience at least once if you're able to, especially for a special occasion, or if someone else if paying! Thanks again for making the effort with the flowers, personal menu etc. It meant a lot! Cheers, Dave and Chloe.

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.

Really wonderful hidden gem. So reasonable, and great service. Great coffee and cake too. Variety of dishes available and it’s really nice to know that you’re supporting a great cause. Will definitely be back!

Lovely place for a lunch and tea and cake...

Leatherhead is not too far from our London home , and it was our last night in London before returning home. I tried two other restaurants close by , however they were fully booked . Fortunately the Plough had one table available and It offered thai food in a pub . I have not had Thai in London so was looking forward to it . A j the bartender was really great snd had good coctails for ys . The food was ok , The best dishes were the Papaya Salad and Satay . The rest were edible nothing to write home about .Having said that the Restaurant was full.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Service was very quick and the food is absolutely amazing. Loads of Vegetarian and Vegan options across the board. Highly recommend!

Fantastic local and great thai food! Great, lovely staff! Tends to be fully booked during the weekends so do call in well before to avoid disappointment!

Would and have recommended this place. The service was impeccable. We booked for in the garden but it rained heavily and they had already replanned our table indoors. It was a surprise for my husband which they were great at keeping and everything worked out perfectly. So friendly and helpful and the food is delicious 😋. We don't eat meat but it is great for those that do or don't. The toilets are spotless and everything really clean and such a relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be booking up to go again.

Friendly local pub, with Gastro food, a relaxed rustic garden with trees that made a great sun shelter! Limited menu but with plenty of variety on it. We enjoyed the black pudding scotch egg, and chicken schnitzel. Nice sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble to follow. Kids menu was good and although we didn’t need them we spotted colouring pencils. (Also dog friendly 🙂)

Fantastic Sunday lunch and the loveliest young staff serving us, absolutely charming! Their huge beer garden was also nice. The food was phenomenal and well-priced for a roast. Good range of beers including local Shere Drop.

This is a proper pub that also happens to serve meals - you could go here for a few drinks very happily without feeling like you’re taking up table space from the food bit. That said, we mainly went to eat, and the food and service were excellent. The Plough serves pub food done perfectly in terms of the ingredients, portions and presentation, and it’s reasonably priced too. You will come across nearby Surrey Hills pubs that are similarly excellent in many respects, but The Plough runs them all close, especially in value for money terms. Will come again. Thank you.

Randomly popped in with my family for lunch on Saturday. Pub is not huge, but it filled up quickly I would recommend booking a table ahead. Chap serving us was lovely and we didn’t had any issue with the service despite the fact that he was alone balancing everything in the place! Menu looked quite simple, but it was absolutely delicious. Simple pub food made very nicely. Their gravy could be a bit thicker but that’s just could be me. We had three different desserts all as equally good as the other, icecream was extremely scrumptious! Food was reasonably priced, especially that other places charge more for inferior quality meals. Will be returning in the future.

I can’t recommend this place enough the apartment we stayed in was cosy and clean and exactly what we needed to get away from our busy life’s for the weekend, we decided to eat in the pub on Sunday and it was hands down the best roast dinner I have ever eaten and Iv eaten a lot! The food was superb, myself and my friend spoke about it for days after and having been craving the pork belly ever since! even the coffee is full of flavour. The pub itself has a beautiful feel cosy and warm but with a modern twist, staff were helpful, friendly and accommodating. We had some usually a little naughty dogs with us who also seemed to love it and behaved the best they ever have in a pub to date. Don’t hesitate, go, you will not regret it

My book club organised a Christmas lunch at The Queen Stage. The staff were lovely and very efficient. The pub was beautifully decorated as was our table which was set out with festive items and the food was delicious. I was very impressed and will certainly return for meals in the new year.

We had the Surrey hills English breakfast, it was excellent, fresh and hot. Maybe a tad expensive at £15 a pop, but I can't knock the pub decor very plush and comfortable. I would mention that parking is awful, all parking is on the very narrow street outside the pub.

Stayed for 4 nights in one of the apartments, really comfortable bed, lots of space and very relaxing. Had breakfast on all 4 mornings at the pub - good variety on the menu and always beautifully cooked. Also had lunch on 2 occasions and dinner on 1 - great menu and again food was fantastic. A great place to stay if you are exploring the surrey countryside or just simply relaxing with family and / or friends. I would highly recommend this to anyone and am looking forward to staying again.

Absolutely stunning venue, they pull out all the stops with their staffs friendly and professional nature, the uniforms, and attentiveness but not too much. The grounds are gorgeous and so well kept the building was so clean on the outside it's very well taken care of. We enjoyed an incredible hot air balloon dining experience, and the chefs food was insanely good as well as the cocktails. Would 100% recommend, they pull out all the stops at this place. A nights stay and spa is on the cards for us next here.

Called in on off chance as local restaurant we had booked had let us down and was closed. The Staff at The Old Plough were SO accommodating. From the person at restaurant entrance/maitre 'd'..the chef regarding my friends Nitrate allergy and the waitress was a cheerful delight. Service and food superb 👌 Absolutley can recommend and will def return. I had the fish sharing plate as a main and my friends had the salmon.. The chef made her a garlic butter sauce as she couldent have the mayo that came with the dish... Could not fault anything about our lunch and the staff 😋

Lovely pub with a nice atmosphere. I had a 3 course Sunday lunch. Roast beef was fantastic as was the chocolate brownie. However the prawn cocktail starter was very disappointing, not many prawns or sauce. Great service.

This place is fantastic, Very clean, easy parking, Clean Toilets, super friendly Staff and with “Good Food” as well. It was so good “we went twice”, so we could try what we didn’t have the night before. This place should have a “6 Star Rating” it’s that good.

Welcoming ,service and overall experience,very nice.! Our daughters salmon was very nice,my wife’s Caesar salad was nice but she considered it to be a small portion,I ordered a cheese and bacon burger , beef burger was excellent,I wasn’t aware of any cheese or bacon which was disappointing and the overall size of the burger was very small and I certainly would not pay £25 for a double burger! We did enjoy our visit but will not be rushing back as it was not good value for money .! Sorry! to the member of staff who did his very best to please.!

Beautiful country pub just outside of Cobham town centre. Small car park available which did get full quickly but there did appear to be some more parking available off the main road. Service was fantastic from Jarred. Lovely interior, food was sublime and the oysters were some of the best we’d had in a long while. Thank you to all of the staff for a great lunch. We certainly hope to be back again soon.

Celebrated sister in law's promotion Famous in steak Restaurant cozy and nicely deco, pet friendly at bar area. The cocktail was tasty and nicely presented. The food was great from starter to dessert. Highly recommend the oyters, beef ribs, and cheesy chips. The meat was so tender and full of flavour. Besides, the miso broccoli is nice as well. Beef tartar bit too spicy and over seasoned.

I love this pub/inn. It has a great cocktail menu and really great food. This time i opted for the asparagus, then the lobster and the banoffee pie for dessert. There was a tequila on feature this time and the drink I had was excellent.
