I'm a local to this cafe coming on a good few years now could say as a neighbour almost living across the road, and I'm really sadend to see the downhill spiral in which I feel the cafe has deteriorated. This used to have great staff, time and effort into food which was good quality and cooked well. To now being rushed and a stressful environment. With lower quality of food. And orders missing items either under cooked or over cooked. For example on 3 occasions we have ordered bacon rolls (crispy) we received first time under cooked bacon with lots of fat, to then asking for fat to be crispy and getting it burnt to a pole and cheap white bread instead of a roll this on 2 occasions.

We hope it improves, but for now we will not be using our local cafe but instead heading into town to the lovely Arto restaurant for an...

If you’re in need of a full English this is the place, no deep fried sausages or greasy spoon rubbish. Proper grilled breakfast.
I have seen others eating burgers that look amazing, big soft bread, lots of fresh salad and BIG. The omelettes look great too.
If you’re around Dorking and searching for somewhere to eat please visit them, it’s clean and tidy and always somewhere to sit.
Ps....the best grilled bacon, mushrooms and the most perfect fried eggs-a good choice of...
Read moreNothing major to write home about here. It's a cafe which gets most of its business from workers streaming out of the nearby business park or from white van men who occupy the parking spaces in front in turns during the lunch hours. Standard fare of sandwiches/greasy breakfasts are available; I'd plump for the jacket potato with beans to eat on the tables outside. Service was fine, the food was nice and servings ample. It's a cafe that's doing it's job and should you be on the market for such a thing, this ought to...
