Rye Cafe and Juice Bar — Restaurant in Mole Valley

I'm not usually a selfish person, but if I could, I would keep the Rye Cafe all to myself. They offer a brilliant selection from their usual menu, and Robbie, the chef and owner, usually has daily specials. The only real resemblance to a normal community cafe is a general friendliness and abundance of local regulars - the food is anything but typical. Yes, yes, of course you can get a bacon or sausage sandwich, but these are made from all locally sourced ingredients and cooked to perfection - seriously! Juices are all made to order. Sweet treats and bake goods - what he doesn't create himself - also come from local one person/one kitchen set ups. Robbie draws on his years of being a top hotel chef in Dubai and Southeast Asia to bring you special delights with a kick. During the Virus, Robbie has also maintained an excellent delivery service, with to-die-for burgers, slow cooked brisket and other fab foods. Order early, especially the weekends. And his community spirit means he's been cooking for the NHS and elderly sheltering. Great guy, great food, great cafe.

The best little secret in Ashtead... Masterchef Robbie’s incredible culinary skills are matched by his kindness & compassion for humanity, family. And he’s very witty / funny but don’t tell him 🤣 We work from home mostly so are missing our delicious lunch outings to this gem tremendously. Add the fact that he supports lots of local businesses including the best artisan coffee (Alchemy that’s owned by an Ashtead couple) - what’s not to love?????

Edit - addition 12/1/21 What a divine Lockdown lunch - That roast chicken was just what the doc ordered! And thank you for the treats, Nico loves fudge and the dipped strawberries are just absolutely awesome. Thank you so much Robbie- a much needed lift of spirits 🤗 You are a star 💫 and an angel. Love you and what you...

Rye Café and Juice Bar is an absolute asset to the local area. All of the ingredients are sourced locally from the greengrocer, the butcher and the baker. This, accompanied with the owner, Robbie's, excellent hospitality and attention to detail, make Rye Café and Juice Bar an excellent place to have a tasty meal.

During lockdown we enjoyed deliveries of Robbie's fantastic food at least once a week. They were always delivered hot and on time. The brisket was incredible and the burgers were great.

During 'normal times' we have also enjoyed afternoon tea, brunch, smoothies and cakes at Rye Café. I would highly recommend the poached eggs, avocado and smoked salmon.

Such a great family run...
