Burgundy & Black - (Near Surrey, london)

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.

Richard Banks Recently discovered this gem of a restaurant. Very friendly and attentive staff. Willing and helpful with offering various options. Happy to adapt any items on menu to vegetarian if wanted. Definitely visit I would recommend booking as is very popular.

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…

Sathya Narayanan Subramaniam Recently shop opened after refurbishment. Their fried chicken and pizza is very good. Worth for the price. Dorking got a best place to eat.

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.

Pat Keeling Such a wonderful place to come for a special family occasion or just for lunch. Yesterday we enjoyed our family Christmas get together here with the delicious festive menu enhanced by our favourite, sticky toffee pudding. Plus a kilo of those fabulous chicken wings! Absolutely amazing food and service. All the staff were so kind, attentive and helpful. This is the fourth time we have celebrated our family Christmas at the Kings Arms and we have made some wonderful family memories and lovely photos. Thank you and happy Christmas to you all.
