The New Fountain Garden - (Near Surrey, london)

christopher pay We had a lovely weekend stay in a very clean and comfortable accessible room behind the main building. Chocolates, classical music and a personal welcome greeted us in our room, which was a very thoughtful touch. Lovely, friendly staff, nice casual atmosphere, great location on Dorking’s Main Street, with easy access to all local pubs and restaurants. Although the pub restaurant is very good, so you don’t need to go anywhere else if you just want flop! Will certainly return when the weather improves…

David Gerrish We live in Reigate but had never tried this restaurant and were keen to have Italian one night (family of 4). Service was great. Food was a little pricey (eg calamari) but overall we loved every dish (I tried them all!) and we all agreed we would definitely return. Photos are of calamari, bruschetta, ragu pasta, pasta with prawns, and Tiramisu.

Ivy Chen Really enjoyed the food! Sushi was made on the spot behind the counter, tasted excellent and looked spectacular too. I had a chicken katsu; the chicken had a good panko crust like you would expect was very crispy and the fresh vegetables & salad dressing was a nice addition too. A good value for the portion size with plenty of chicken. All the staff were very polite and kind which is also a nice bonus! Definitely worth a try and I will be eating here again!!

G M Our experience for lunch was very good. The service is impeccable by the Italian waiter. Many of the courses were standouts, such as the tartare and other appetisers, the cod, the stone bass, and the chocolate mousse (best mousse I’ve ever had). The very last surprise course at the end is a touch of genius - I won’t spoil it because I really appreciated the surprise factor. The duck was slightly underwhelming - I think it would benefit from the skin being crunchy. Food quantity was good. The lunch lasted probably 2h which is my personal max but that’s subjective, some people like it longer/shorter. The food kept coming throughout the 2h which is key - we were not left waiting for courses. The choice of wine by the glass is limited but we found a good 1er cru Chablis, which though was very overpriced. The venue is cozy, but not a highlight. The tables are large and sofa seating is comfortable. The kitchen looks very nice with big windows and light coming in, which I’m sure helps the chef and cooks there do a good job. The bill came at 380gbp for 2 tasting menus and 3 glasses of wine.

Sherry Secker Great pizza, freshly cooked and super friendly staff! Funghi pizza was spot on! Thanks ever so much, see you next Friday (before 8:15!) Sorry, pic taken after wed eaten half! Perfect size!

Core Active This was our first time visiting the Queens Head, me and my mum are moving to the area soon so we thought wed 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 theres 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.
