Late lunch stop after visiting Winkworth. Dog friendly easy and plenty of parking. Nice clean place excellent lunch.
A lovely little gem within a working farm but quiet enough to hear the peace and quiet. A nice restaurant which claims to be a café but has restaurant prices. Food is very good and facilities are beautifully presented (& clean). Staff are very friendly and good fun without the pomposity you'd expect from a restaurant. Came there for breakfast and decided to come back for lunch as I was working in the area. Will definitely go back when im in the area - If they'll have me! Well worth a visit.
Absolutely beautiful cafe! It is so nice to go to a cafe that does different types of food rather than the standard toasties and avocado on toast. This cafe does beautiful, seasonal food with locally sourced ingredients and many items either from the farm or locally foraged. The taste is beautiful and fresh. The cafe itself is tastefully decorated with an open kitchen. We visited on a sunny day and it was fresh, airy and open. The tables are a nice distance apart and there is no blaring music. The service is also top-notch thanks to the very experience Angela. We were well attended to and everything ran really smoothly. We will be back and would highly recommend.
Been working our way through the menu on multiple visits and everything is amazing! The Sunday Roasts are an absolute must. Consistently fresh, amazing quality and tasty food. Also a suntrap so make sure to sit outside on a nice day
First time visiting, had a delicious Sunday roast today. Incredible looking menu made it very difficult to decide, including some really tasty sounding veggie options. Very friendly welcome and service. Were happy to make a child's portion out of any of their offerings. Dog allowed in. Really good value for some exceptionally tasty food! Wish we lived closer, would certainly go again and recommend to others.
Such a hidden gem! Always love to come here, food is just so nice and locally sourced if possible- staff is accommodating, always try to find you a spot, they do really care what they do and you really feel it with starting from crockery to the toilets everything is thought trough! I would say best cafe around Cranleigh!
Great cafe, recommended to us by the cat salon lady. Food was yummy, we ordered french toast but it was very different to the usual french toast (just letting u know). Atmosphere was great and yeah overall lovely!
We had two courses - steaks and dessert (white chocolate mouse is recommended!) with drinks and a round of coffees afterwards. The food was absolutely delicious! However, we were rushed out by being asked twice if we were still eating even though and though we said yes, we given the bill before we were finished with our desserts. The restaurant was half full with 3-4 empty tables while we were there and with a bill of £50/head felt we should have been allowed to take our time to enjoy the meal.
