Chimes For Lunch - (Near Surrey, South East)

5 /5 Anne Martin: Stumbled across this place by chance and saw the tables set out in the sunny courtyard. Had a really lovely early lunch and will definitely go back as they had a really nice menu. Very attentive staff

5 /5 Lynda Barron: Chimes for Lunch is a lovely outdoor cafe in the courtyard in front of Marks and Spencer. We had prawn and avocado, and smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches. Both were excellent. Service was fast and the staff were happy to help. A well-priced cafe in the middle of Dorking.

2 /5 Holly Smith: We were asked to wait at the table outside while the lady prepared our sandwiches and drinks and then she brought them out on crockery etc so we just sat and ate there thinking nothing of it, but then when we went in to pay we were charged £20.20 for two sandwiches and 2 coffees when the prices on the board show as it being around £5 cheaper. When we asked about this they told us they were the takeaway prices and eat-in was more expensive. Instead of £4.80 as it says in the price list for the sandwiches we paid £6.90 per sandwich. This felt like a con to get more money from us - there were no signs and no mention of the takeaway prices being the only ones listed when we ordered. We also took our coffees to go because it had started raining and were still charged eat-in price. If the food and coffee were delicious I wouldn’t have even bothered with this review but the sandwiches were very dry and overall just not tasty. I ordered a BLT and there was no mayo or butter etc when served. The bacon was very sparing and looked borderline anaemic, there was literally a slice of cold bacon with a bit of mixed leaf and a quarter of a cherry tomato in. The coffee tasted like hot milk. I’m disappointed and won’t be returning. £7 for a sandwich is already a bit silly, please at least make the quality and flavour of the ingredients worth it! There is so much potential for it to be a great lunch spot.

5 /5 Aly F: Lunch visit with friend. I had a Greek salad and my friend an egg sandwich followed by bake tray and Victoria sponge. The food was really fresh including a delicious light sponge. Generous portions and very tasty. The two ladies were very friendly and came across as loving what they do which was providing a tip top service at a reasonable price. Whats not to like, would highly recommend this place.

5 /5 Julia Mandich: Visited for a quick sandwich and it was delicious. Very fresh, good sized portion, friendly service. Would recommend!
