Absolutely delightful experience at this charming Surrey pub! The picturesque view took our breath away, making our meal even more enjoyable.
The food was scrumptious, and the service was top-notch. What truly made our visit exceptional was the fantastic service provided by Kasia. Thank you! 💕
A perfect place for a relaxing and delicious meal. We can't wait to visit again!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Visited this morning to sample the breakfast menu. Really very good, complimented with high end guest service. Cant say enough how good the breakfast was, supported by clean and tidy eating areas. Surreys finest for breakfast and made to feel very welcome. Booked in for next weekend as well. Outstanding. Thank you. JHB
We were served by Daniel, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after, he recommended dishes, and he was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything was delicious, the portions were great, and we had a lovely time. We’ll be back!
My experience at the Watermill was pleasant as usual. Today was my 2nd time eating here for lunch. The meals are delicious and served quickly. Our waitress Elaine was lovely to talk to. We chat away for some time and it was marvellous. All stuff are very friendly and accommodating. When we asked to move tables and sit by the fireplace, we were adjusted to there immediately for desert. There’s a calm ambience and it’s very warm inside too. I certainly recommend you come here for a classy yet laid back Sunday roast or drinks with family and friends. 😊 The dish I ate in the photo was a Lamb Ragu- my 1st time trying it and it was scrumptious!
The new management have done a remarkable job here. I remember my last visit a year ago and the service was a let down. But now Daniel and co are very welcoming. It was a lovely experience and I would highly recommend! The food was lovely and reasonably priced.
We wanted a country pub, and the Watermill delivered! The menu offered a variety of food and some lovely healthy dishes. The best part was the sensational view overlooking huge fields. We will be returning.
Busy pub - always recommend to book a table for Sundays. Food delivered quickly and very tasty and good looking. Excellent Yorkshire Puddings.
One Major issue is the overfull car park with big cars.
After reading reviews we were in doubt if it's worth visiting, but we really wanted to find a place with a nice views to sit, so we did.
Atmosphere, deco and views are fab.
We were served quite quickly, staff was polite and helpful. Can't say much about food as we tried only two dishes (hence 4 stars only) but they were really good. Would go back next time. Hope it won't get worse in time.
Came back after 6 months, had steak and crab burger. Not much crab , just a thick layer of oily batter. It was cooked in fresh oil so it weren't bad.
Stead was delicious, good quality, but not presented nicely. Tomato was sort of old, reheated, one lonely mushroom, chips came a bit later. It should all be plated on a smaller plate, add some greenery and roasted cherry tomatoes, then it would be perfect for the price you pay. Not sure if we'll return anytime soon.
Soooo close to the magic 5 stars but a 30+ minute wait on the desert having pre-ordered the three courses on arrival, however....
The food was up there as some of the best in the area for a Sunday roast and the staff were friendly and attentive. The venue itself is large and well present, the view off the back terrace to box hill.
One small comment, the parfait starter was tasty but the ratio of meat to bread was off, and could have done easily with four bits of toast and not the the two.
Having a low alcohol beer on draft was a godsend after a month of all the alcohol free bottled largers.
Given the popularity of the venue they might want to expand the car park a little as cars were queuing to get in and out.
Sooooo will I be heading back to the Watermill, you bet ya a great place to take friends or family when visiting, price point also seemed fair given the quality of food on offer.
Great work team.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Watermill, a charming restaurant on the gate of Dorking. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant boasts stunning views of the picturesque Boxhill, adding a touch of natural beauty to the dining experience.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the incredible food served at Watermill. I opted for their famous Sunday roast, and it did not disappoint. The roast was cooked to perfection, with succulent meat, crispy Yorkshire puddings, and an array of delectable vegetables. The flavors were exquisite, and each bite was a true delight. To complement my meal, I chose from their impressive selection of wines and beers, and I was not disappointed. The staff's knowledge and recommendations added to the overall dining experience.
The service at Watermill was impeccable. The attentive and friendly staff ensured that every need was met, and they went above and beyond to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. The wait staff were prompt, knowledgeable, and made me feel welcome throughout the entire meal.
However, I must mention a minor disappointment during my visit. The meat on my plate was slightly colder than I would have liked, and the waiting time for the food was longer than expected. Nevertheless, considering the overall experience, I would gladly overlook these minor hiccups. The delicious flavors, excellent service, and breathtaking views make Watermill a place I would undoubtedly visit again.
I wholeheartedly recommend Watermill to anyone seeking a fantastic dining experience. Whether it's a Sunday roast, a refreshing drink, or simply a relaxing atmosphere with stunning views, Watermill offers it all. Despite the small setbacks, the quality of the food, service, and ambiance make it a must-visit destination for those seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure.
