Burgundy & Black - (Near Surrey, london)

Franco I recently visited Libby’s of Dorking, and it proved to be an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was not only perfectly prepared but also beautifully presented, reflecting care, authenticity, and attention to detail in every dish. The service was equally impressive. The staff delivered hospitality at its best—warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring an enjoyable dining experience. Their professionalism elevated the entire meal, creating an atmosphere that felt welcoming and refined. Libby’s of Dorking is a restaurant I would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Pakistani cuisine paired with outstanding service. I will definitely be returning and look forward to experiencing more of what they have to offer.

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.

Carl Piercey Wow! A totally unassuming pub from the front. We came here purely due to an offer on the Fork App. In all honesty, we would have likely never found this place. I would urge anyone thinking of trying this place to give it a try. Top class service and food that exceeds the well known names locally. From starter to desert, absolutely faultless quality, favour and presentation. Service was on point! We will absolutely come back an remember this place and tell everyone to consider this place.

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…
