Wow, what a great venue to have in Dorking. This Wine and Coffee House is located in Dorking HIgh Street, with a fabulous well designed relaxing interior. Open daily from 09:00 (Closed Sunday and Monday). Great place for a glass of wine in the evening or just meet up with friends for a coffee during the day and a special mention to Anastasia the manager who always has a great smile and a warm welcome. Totally recommend.
A lovely new addition to the Dorking High Street. I can thoroughly recommend this buzzing, happy place! Lovely wine selection, great staff and super atmosphere!
I ducked in with my laptop for a couple of hours of work and wine today (don't judge, it works for me!), and was pleasantly surprised. The kids behind the counter were both lovely and knew their stuff, and the selection of wines by the glass was interesting and varied. I asked for a crisp, dry white, and the lady gave me exactly that: it was French and absolutely delicious. I then ordered a US red off the list, and that was terrific, too.
My only complaint -- but bear in mind, I'm 60 and have this complaint about every second pub, restaurant and bar in the world -- was that the music didn't match the setting. They've got some tremendous old B&W photos up on the walls of celebrities from yesteryear like Nina Simone, which, I think, set a certain mood, but the modern pop music they were playing had nothing to do with that mood. I would have loved to have heard some Nina, say, or some Ella, some Miles, some Billy, or some Louis. Even something modern but more wine bar-ish would have been great, but ... no.
I'll definitely be back to sample more of their wonderful offerings, but maybe with my earphones next time!
