The Best Restaurants in Westhumble, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

So happy to have found this gem. Welcoming, beautiful venue, with easy parking and space to enjoy a peaceful meal with a friend or have fun in the bar area. Wonderful food, and not too spicy, just delicious. The staff were extremely helpful and kind, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the prices. Impressive menu options and a good vegan selection too. They've obviously put a lot of thought and care into all the details.

Super yummy Sri Lanka food a real depth of flavour and incredible service, extremely attentive staff. It appears it might be fun later into the evening too, cocktails and darts became popular and the music ramped up as the evening went on…

Four of us visited for dinner on Friday evening. Delicious food, beautifully presented and all with the loveliest smiles. Sadly, there was hardly anyone else there, so we are really hoping they are able to survive. Having never had Sri Lankan food before, it's definitely now our new favourite cuisine.

Found this unique gem off the main drag in Dorking on a mini pub crawl... only came in for beers not knowing anything about the fabulous fusion of Sri Lankan food, and its still a proper pub! Had great tap beers and small bites - mutton rolls & fried whitefish / whitebait, served by super friendly staff who also love dogs! Came back the next week on a quiet wet night with my son, this time focus was the food, we weren't disappointed. 3 starters for £12.95 (popcorn chicken, whitebait, prawn tempura) followed by fish cutlets and spicy fries - definitely my favorite 'fish & chips' We only tried fried dishes this visit, but all were really well cooked, nothing greasy (or mullered either!). Can't wait to come back and try the curry's, hear the Sunday buffet is excellent. Chefs Samantha & Yohan with a great bar team headed by lovely Jane, but credit to the enthusiast Ellen who won us over the first visit to have more than just a few beers to resume our 'crawl' We'll be back!

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Food is beautifully served with large portion sizes at a reasonable price. I would recommend either having lots mezze or having a main as having both can easily lead to ordering too much food. The service very efficient and friendly and they were kind enough to put our excess food in boxes to take away, rather than have us do it ourselves.

An outstanding evening meal for a family birthday. This is the second time I have eaten here and it really is superb. Beautifully decorated, with luxury touches. The menu is detailed so needs to be studied. The food is cooked and presented to perfection. Even the salad leaf, tossed in oil tastes amazing! We were a party of 5 and ate starters, mains, just 1 dessert and coffees. Everything we had was exceptional. The owner greets you like family and really makes the experience a special one. We visited on a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was busy.. this isn’t surprising considering the quality of food, service and ambience. One of the nicest local restaurants I have been to. Highly recommended.

I don’t normally ever leave reviews but I drove over an hour to meet a friend for dinner and it was well worth the drive! The staff were lovely and attentive and it had a few parties even on a Tuesday night. All of the food was delicious and really generous portions. It was easily located with free local car park close by. We will definitely be back!

Best restaurant in Dorking! Another great evening and amazing food at Rooster Kitchen. Always friendly and good service. Food portions very large and tasty. Thank you for the great service and food. Shame we will be away from Dorking soon but will definitely be back again when we are in the area.

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.

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 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.

Popped in for a coffee. The cappuccino and the frappe were both lovely. Waitress took her time with us and gave advice as to what she'd pick. She was right. Friendly staff. Halloween look inside with a Christmassy smell was perfect to have a relaxing moment.

Incredible restaurant! Could not fault it if I tried. Service was so caring and fast, we were looked after by Dilshod. The food was some of the best I’ve ever tasted, so fresh and the meat was cooked to perfection. The cocktails were splendid, and the desert was delightful. Just perfect. Although we were sat in the peaceful outdoors the inside was immaculate, and had a beautiful moody but classy interior. My favourite being the bathrooms, very clean and beautifully designed!! I will be returning frequently to this hidden delight. 10/10

As soon as we got to the door, the lovely staff opened the door for us and showed us to our table. Very friendly and smiley. It was a lovely welcome! We ordered food and drinks, both came promptly. The mezze platter was amazing! Such lovely flavoursome bits to share. The chicken shish was divine! Full of flavour, juicy and the rice was so good. My friend loved the mixed grill. We asked for the bill and a plate of baklava and tea appeared. The baklava was soooo good! Not too sweet. The tea was a lovely way to end the meal. Highly recommend Turkuaz. Lovely staff, great food!

Really nice restaurant. East to book online. Nice venue. Lovely staff. Good selection of dishes and foods good as well as good value This time was a Sunday brunch for 4 adults but also previously cateredfir our veggie familiy and grandchildren. This is why we returned.

Delicious Lunch at Arto, Dorking I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arto in Dorking for lunch, and I was thoroughly impressed. I opted for the duck breast, which was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The dish was complemented by perfectly cooked broccoli, adding a lovely crunch and freshness. The dauphinoise potatoes were absolutely divine — rich, creamy, and indulgent without being too heavy. The balance of flavors and textures was spot-on, and the presentation was beautifully done. The service was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Arto for anyone looking for a quality meal in a charming setting!

Stopped in for an early lunch. Very friendly staff, quick service and lovely food. Lots to choose from on the menu.

We were greeted at the door with a friendly smile and shown to a clean and well-presented table. The menu offered a good variety of food, and the dishes were beautifully cooked with generous portion sizes. The staff were friendly, helpful, and engaging, and we want to give them a special thank you. We will definitely return when we visit Dorking again.

Fantastic views from the lovely terraced beer garden. Friendly, attentive staff. Great beer and food. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic country pub with seating inside and outside. There is covering on some of the outside seating on less sunny days. Very dog-friendly. The view is fabulous, as is the food. Superb roasts, ploughman’s and desserts with a good selection of drinks. This place pairs beautifully with the plethora of gorgeous walks and rides all around the area. Booking at the weekend is strongly advised - it’s rightfully very popular.

I couldn’t praise this place enough! The views are stunning, the atmosphere delightful. The food absolutely scrumpy delicious - quite a few vegan options which I appreciated very much! The staff is kind, friendly and helpful. I would have liked to leave a handsome tip, but I didn’t have any sterling pounder only euros (and they only accept tips in cash.) I highly recommend it!

This is my sister and I second visit as we couldn't resist making another visit. A real, old, traditional feel to the pub, it is an absolute delight. We have only sampled the calamari (delicious), each time with a side order of chips, but both were very good, and reckon the chips are some of the best we have ever had. Cat's cooking and presentation is superb, and Harvey a charming and solicitous waiter. We can't wait to return.

A few weeks late in writing, but as promised here’s our review.. After a long walk around the Dorking countryside we ended up here .. amazing food, we all had the roast chicken and all throughly enjoyed it, large portions and crispy potatoes. I would recommend a visit maybe book before .. we were lucky and they had a free table but it was very busy.. the pub had a good vibe and really friendly staff.

Pub 2 of our mini Dorking pub crawl. An absolutely fantastic pub. The barman even let us into the 'Narnia' room (Last Pic) which is closed currently but will be open once they refurbish it. Another dog friendly pub.

Great little cosy pub with great selection of beers and friendly staff

Been to this lovely pub many many times and plan on going there many more! Good prices and as lovely as it is inside the outside area with the little booths takes the cake for me! Tried one of their hot dogs on my most recent visit and it was huge as you can see from the pictures and absolutely delicious! Messy to eat but it was honestly so good I didn't mind one bit!

Great roast. Tender beef, rich gravy, perfect pudding. We also got crumble for dessert and it was one of the best I’ve had. I ate it before I could take a picture, but it had a perfect balance of fruit and custard. It wasn’t too sweet, which is perfect for me.

This was our first time visiting the Queens Head, me and my mum are moving to the area soon so we thought we'd check out the local pubs. We were so glad to come across this one, not only was it accommodating for our dog, the tipi where we were situated was perfect! Cozy, warm, festive and friendly. A special mention has to go to our waiter Zeke, who was brilliant! Super attentive, ever so helpful, and friendly, when you come across someone like this it makes all the difference! And definitely makes us want to visit again which we will be doing once we move. Thanks Zeke for being so great at your job, we hope there's a Xmas bonus coming your way! And what a great pub, I forgot to mention the food was amazing! I will be recommending this place to everyone.

Little trip to Dorking from London. No idea what to expect frankly having little experience outside London. Cozy pub with a great progressive menu, starring vegan, dairy free options, and wines by the glass via coravin. Would recommend the beetroot hummus for sure. Though they need to include double the amount of pita with it. We had to order another serving of pita. The short rib was huge and may be shareable if not starving.

The Queen’s Head did an excellent job of accommodating our choir’s party of 25 people (under a time deadline as we were due to be performing in the nearby St Paul’s Church). The service was friendly and the food good - most of us had the fish and chips which was super-tasty. Most impressive of all was the way they successfully dealt with the bill, with each person paying separately!

I would highly recommend the Wine tasting and cellar tour. Very informative and great to learn the history of the estate. The food in the Gallery Restaurant was exceptional with stunning views and first class service by our server Chloe.

Really lovely tour. The train car ride was my favourite bit. The views were STUNNING. The only reason I’m not giving full 5 stars is because I did not enjoy the wine tasting. It felt incredibly rushed and we only tasted 3 wines, all of which were similar, I would have liked a bit more variety. As well as it felt like everything EXCEPT wine was being promoted. Really beautiful place though Lunch was AMAZING

Booking can be done online and thank you to the staff who remembered that it was my friend’s bday (i placed a note during online booking which i forgot lol) - they gave him a glass of wine upon arrival. Food wise- it’s reasonably priced. Huge serving and delicious. We got pork cutlet for main and lentil soup for appetizer. Dessert is just okay the brownie bite was kinda hard but overall it was an amazing lunch experience. Theres an art gallery within the estate and gift shop worth visiting. We werent able to do a vineyard tour coz it rained but we will definitely come back. Shout out to Kai- she’s very accommodating and warm to the gallery restaurant customers. She’s the one who took our order and served the food. All staff were lovely.

We recently visited the Denbies Wine Estate and had a lovely time! The vineyard was beautifully decorated, creating a festive atmosphere that our kids absolutely loved. They especially enjoyed the train ride and meeting Santa Claus and Elves.

I had cycled past this pub many times and the setting and look of the place made me want to book a table for food. We were not disappointed. The staff serving us were friendly, efficient and attentive. I had a great pint of Shere drop to start, the meal was delicious and the house red was excellent. If you are looking for a great Surrey pub with a traditional feel this is just right. It has a roaring open fire as you walk in and sells some local Surrey beers. Great value, great food and will definitely be heading back.

I am so glad that my brother in law introduced the Running Horses pub to me and my husband on our visit to Dorking. The food is delicious and the space is beautifully decorated in a vintage British countryside style. The service is lovely and quick. The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially Mo was smiley, chatty and very attentive to details. We had a great lunch and experience at the pub and will definitely be back. Thank you!

Had a very nice lunch today. We had a bowl of olives to start which were very tasty and the braised venison was delicious. Apple and blackberry crumble with custard was very good although a little too sweet for my taste. Overall a very good meal with excellent service.

I literally picked this pub based on the size of the yorkshire puddings, and let me tell you this theory did not let me down. The food was amazing, literally the best roast dinner in a long time, especially the pork! Cooked the Italian way. OMG I'm drooling now thinking of it. The service was faultless. The atmosphere with logs burning and oak panelling was beautiful. Would highly recommend!
