The Queen's Head Dorking in Mole Valley

Great roast. Tender beef, rich gravy, perfect pudding. We also got crumble for dessert and it was one of the best I’ve had. I ate it before I could take a picture, but it had a perfect balance of fruit and custard. It wasn’t too sweet, which is perfect for me.

Fantastic food and brilliant service especially from the young lad behind the bar , Boxing day was complete because of ourvfavourite pub in Dorking thank you xx

Great atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food!

Service was slow to start and food arrived super quick but tasted nice. Overall nice for a first family Christmas get-together but wouldn't immediately think to return.

We are a group of friends that tend to go to this pub for a meal around Christmas time. We have never been disappointed by the food, which is always delicious. The staff are really friendly and attentive, and our experience this time was no different. The pub was busy, but we had a lovely table in the corner, and were served really well. The food was delicious, especially the chocolate and cherry brownie! Absolutely go here if you are considering a pub in Dorking. The outdoor tent in the garden is stunning at Christmas as well! Worth a visit.

The Queen’s Head did an excellent job of accommodating our choir’s party of 25 people (under a time deadline as we were due to be performing in the nearby St Paul’s Church). The service was friendly and the food good - most of us had the fish and chips which was super-tasty. Most impressive of all was the way they successfully dealt with the bill, with each person paying separately!

Fantastic lunch on a Monday for my wife's birthday, lovely ambience and well kept historic pub, nice decor, popular on a Monday when most other places are closed. Nicely done bathrooms too, clean and tidy and room temperature just right, and I note dog friendly too. Great staff, friendly and attentive, great care and attention with food and drinks. We had bread and olives, mains were chicken pie and lamb shank and finished off with apple and blackberry crumble and custard and cheeses. Was worth the expense for the experience and taste and still feel pleasantly full and contented hours later. Drinks end up quite pricey when you have 12.5% discretionary service on top but will certainly be back for what may well become our favourite eating experience in Dorking.

This was our first time visiting the Queens Head, me and my mum are moving to the area soon so we thought we'd check out the local pubs. We were so glad to come across this place, not only was it accommodating for our dog, but the tipi where we were situated was perfect! Cozy, warm, xmassy and friendly. A special mention has to go to our waiter Zeke, who was brilliant! Super attentive, ever so helpful, and friendly, when you come across someone like this it makes all the difference! And makes us want to visit again which we will be doing once we move. Thanks Zeke for being so great at your job, we hope there's a Xmas bonus coming your way! And what a great pub, I forgot to mention the food was amazing too. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know. It’s a must visit!

The food and service was just amazing. We had a group of 7 and we had a great table. The pub had a lovely atmosphere. Random, but the toilets were the cleanest pub toilets I have ever been to!! We will def be returning. Thankyou.

I have visited this pub many times over the last three years or so. I have always been well looked after by cheerful, friendly staff and the food is consistently good! It’s lovely to have what feels very much like a country pub in our town here in Dorking!

This place is a gem. I absolutely loved everything about it, the vibe was chill, the service super friendly and the food…omg the food was absolutely delicious. The best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The fish was perfectly crispy and flaky yet didn’t disintegrate the second you cut into it. The chips and peas were great and the sticky toffee pudding was perfection; moist, sticky and sweet.

Had the most amazing experience, as always. Friendly welcome, attentive staff and the food was perfection! We are regulars here and there’s a reason….fabulous evening. Thank you to all the wonderful people that work here!

We enjoyed a delicious roast dinner with friends on Sunday evening. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was really excellent. We hope to return again soon.

I visited in July and my lager had some black bits floating in it. I took the beer back and the barman replaced it. When I went back for a second pint, the barman refused to acknowledge my presence at the bar for a good 5 minutes despite the pub being quiet. Even another chap at the bar shared banter with me about the rudeness of me being ignored. He must have been upset that I returned the first pint. They should be more careful with hygiene if they don't want to have customers complaining. I went to The Cricketers instead and had a pint with no floaters and got a warm welcome.

I was ignored by a server who turned round and walked off in the opposite direction whe she saw me. Ignorant girl. I was then seated by a young server who suggested a table which was opposite the bar was good enough for me! Arrogant upstart. I served a delicious meal, that upset my stomach. I was served by a youngster who did not seem happy. I was also served by a server who knew how to behave and his service was impecable. I will not be returning and advise others to seriously thi k twice before going there.

Nice food, service wasn't great. Took 30 mins to get a drink when we arrived.

I had the venue for a significant birthday party. Luke the manager was very helpful with all the arrangements. On the night there were about 80 guests. The food was excellent (buffet type) The staff very friendly and helpful. The large tepee at the rear of the pub provides a great area. We had a band and dance area.

Fantastic roast dinner the best my wife and I have had for a long time well priced an good all round service, nice pub and atmosphere too.

Lovely pub in lovely Dorking. Exceptional burger and very kind, attentive staff. I will be back! Update - outstanding fish and chips. The chips are literally the best I've ever had.

Definitely going back soon the food was absolutely delicious- reasonably priced too The staff were friendly and helpful Check it out if you’re visiting Dorking and looking for somewhere cosy to eat

A little walk from the main part of town, with no car park. There is a car park some distance away. It's a quirky, old pub. Interesting menu and reasonably priced. I was surprised however that they don't sell the usual soft drinks such as J2O and Appletiser. The cheese board for dessert was interesting with a good choice of crackers and 3 cheeses. Staff were friendly.

First time visiting and we were blown away. Staff were lovely, Sunday lunch was exceptional and the overall atmosphere of the pub was really pleasant. Loved it!

This a great pub that has a lovely ambiance, there is a good selection of beers and wines. The menu holds a tasty selection of food. We both enjoyed the steak and it was cooked to perfection! The staff were all attentive and friendly, We will be back as soon as possible!

Great food on a Sunday. Roasts are delicious and the garden is a lovely slot. My pug loved it too ☺️

We are from Australia, what a beautiful pub so much character, food was great and the service from the young man was faultless

Hadn't been there for 25 years but enjoyed being back

Our little lunch outing from work was delicious with great service from the manager himself, a very friendly and helpful guy with a lot of knowledge about wines. The food was excellent as well as the location. We will definitely be back, thank you once again Luke!

We went to the Queens Head for Sunday lunch with my partner & 2 kids. My partner & I had the roast & it was amazing, one of the best we've ever had. Really generous portions, the roast potatoes were lovely & crispy, the meat perfect & really tasty veg. The kids both loved their meals of pasta & burger, my daughter said it was the nicest burger she'd ever had:-) the service throughout was faultless, attentive but unobtrusive. All in all a great experience & a lovely lunch, highly recommend

After a nightmare journey because of the A24 diesel spill, to be met with 2 glasses of complementary bubbly was wonderful. Our 1st visit to the Queens Head, best steak and amazing triple cooked chips ever. Compliments to the chef and waiting staff. We will definitely be returning.

We went for a birthday celebration lunch - food was lovely and portions were generous. You've lost a star as the waitress who served us was chewing gum and not always closing her mouth - very off putting and not particularly hygienic when serving food.

Amazing! Lovely place, great food and excellent service. My father and I had a Sunday roast and it was delicious. Really recommended.

Amazing place, delicious Sunday roast and excellent services. Definitely recommended

Best place in Dorking...amazing staff, food is really tasty and good value.Good selection of beers and delicious cocktails. This pub ìs top notch!

We had a great dinner with family and friends, such lovely atmosphere and the food was (as always) delish… Kitty out waitress was super lovely, and seriously she could not have done more… we will 100% visit again

Awful tasteless food, poor service, no atmosphere, hard chairs, completely overpriced for what you get, will not be returning.

The service was sloppy, the prices were ridiculous for the quality of food, the water bottles were mouldy which I told the manager and his response was that they clean the bottles each (WEEK) and wasn’t to bothered, not what I wanted to hear after drinking from it. When are gastro pub chains gonna train there staff properly? Tbh not worth the money!!

Our company has been going to the Queens Head for business get togethers for years, and it is always excellent. Exceptional food and service, in a lovely environment.

Nice friendly professional staff. The service was quick and the food arrived hot, the portion size was excellent well worth the price and the quality of the food was great and very tasty. Nice relaxed family atmosphere.

Great place for a roast, kids had a burger. The tent in the garden is amazing

Not the best pub where I ever been but it was alright. Food portion could be bigger because my husband was still hungry after he had a main and a dessert..

We had a wonderful dinner here. The food and service were excellent, I can particularly recommend the scotch egg, curried mussels and sticky toffee pudding which was one of the best sweet dishes I can remember having in recent years, just sublime. The staff were helpful and attentive and for a small town like Dorking, this is a wonderful establishment.

Have visited the QH twice recently, both times at short notice for food. Their Sunday lunch is a treat, and the new menu addition of creamy chicken with grains is delicious. The menu offers plenty more reasons to return in future.

Limited but good lunch menu. I enjoyed the set menu. It was a small and well decorated dining area but there was a lack of atmosphere. The waiter was friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend! My lovely waitress was Kitty who service was absolutely amazing! She was super attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend here!

Mmm....would say nearer 3 star from me. The revamped Queens came recommended by friends for its food. Food was good if a bit pricy for me. The sting was the 12.5% service charge ( even on the beer we bought at the bar before sitting down). Meant a meal with drinks for 3 ( 1 main course each) was £145! Ouch. Normally I don't give reviews when disappointed as its a personal thing but that service charge...just print your actual prices on the menu....

Stepping into The Queen's Head is like being hugged by history, with its cozy ambiance and a menu that's a love letter to British cuisine. It's the kind of place where the steak is so tender, it practically serenades your taste buds, and the fish and chips are a golden-brown sonnet. The staff treat you like royalty, and the garden is a verdant realm where even the bees seem to hum in contentment. Whether you're there for a romantic rendezvous or a family feast, The Queen's Head turns a simple meal into a gastronomic gala. It's not just a pub, it's a culinary coronation!

I took my lovely mum for her Mother's Day lunch today and it was perfect. Great food, service and a lovely extra touch of their own card & gift. Highly recommend!

I went to Dorking to explore the town on one of the few sunny days in recent weeks. It's a pretty town,quite hilly with some lovely old buildings dotted about. I travelled by bus as it was meant to be a nice ride through some lovely countryside. I walked quite a way and was getting hungry by 2 ish so saw the Queens head and looked in. A nice pub. My fish and chips was awesome, I try not to eat such things but it was exceptional. The chips were obviously hand cut and more like small roast potatoes and the fish batter very crisp, the fish was also cooked to perfection. I waddled up the road to catch my return bus. I didn't find the Dorking museum, oh well have to go back another day, sent my son a picture who will probably join me.

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Attentive staff but not obtrusive. My friend and I had tiger prawns and a burger, and both were delicious. Will definitely be back!

Great overall dining experience - perfect menu - not too fussy. Great food - my daughter from London was blown away by the food. Great service - lovely friendly waiter/waitress. Lovely pub - the menu - very reasonably priced dishes. Like my daughter said - she is def coming to this pub again. Well done!! Well deserved!!

The food is brilliant. Had to wait a little long to get the orders taken but otherwise a fantastic place

Both inside & outside is a beautiful venue - a gem in Dorking! Amazing food and brilliant service. Been many times and will always be our go-to pub in Dorking. Staff are very friendly & always happy to assist.

Everyone in our party of 5 had delicious meals. We honestly couldn't say a bad word about the food or the service. We eat in tipi which was warm and cozy despite the terrible weather out side. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely food, service and ambience.

Great food, fantastic portions, attentive and friendly staff. the Tipi in the back is a great space for larger groups as well. Can't wait to come back!

Lovely food and nice pub overall. They have tipi’s in the garden and indoor tables. They are also dog friendly in the garden and in the bar. Service was very good and pleasant staff. Will definitely visit again

The food, service and ambience were absolutely spot on... especially the food it really was very good. A most enjoyable evening

Best thing about this pub is the cocktails bested only by the staff! They are very helpful and recommended the right drink based on what my rabble were wanting.

We were visiting friends who have recently moved to Dorking & we were really looking forward to a Sunday roast in a countryside pub… and this pub was perfect! When we arrived I thought this is really small place, but then they took us through the pub and into a heated big canopy seating area which was so lovely! The food was amazing & the atmosphere. The waiter we had did forget about the sauce we asked for, and had to re ask but that isn’t a biggy and didn’t have an effect on the time there. However, if you have a fear of dogs or anything, it wouldn’t be a good place to visit as the dogs are allowed where you eat and in the canopy you are sat on picnic benches so big dogs are at the level of your table where your food goes. I would absolutely return!!

Came here without a booking and looking a bit rough and muddy owing to having lost my way back from Leith Hill. I asked to sit in a less formal part of the pub and was well accommodated. I ordered the confit of duck, which came with mashed potatoe and Sauerkraut. It was all very nice. I would definitely come back.

Really great pub. Sunday roast, both veggie and meaty, very tasty. Service was fast and very friendly. Overall a great experience.

The pub was busy and had a good atmosphere. They coped brilliantly with the busy day with really really good food and great service. The dogs were welcome too. Couldn't ask for a better Sunday lunch - thank you!

Great food and good service. Nice area buy the fire. Shame that there are 3 pumps showing London pride but they ran out. That's not good. Parking can be an issue as no dedicated car park

We had a delicious roast at the Queens Head. Service was very attentive and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Great food and drinks menu. We look forward to our next visit. See you soon...

Fantastic place to stop off for the sunday roast after a walk in the Surrey Hills - wonderful speedy service despite being very busy. The tables in the Teepee in the garden are perfectly warm enough to use even on very cold days and the atmosphere in there is just brilliant. Thank you!

A very good January lunch in a pleasant environment with friendly, helpful and professional waiting staff. Feeling lucky to have this as a neighbourhood restaurant where we always feel that they appreciate their customers

We have been to The Queen's Head several times now, and have always come away having had a great experience. Last Sunday we visited for a Sunday roast, and it remains one of the best pub roasts we have ever had. The food is always extremely tasty, well put together, hot (which a lot of places don't focus enough on these days, especially during busy periods), and plentiful. The service is always polite, efficient, and attentive. Cannot fault in any way... even dry Jan couldn't spoil it !

Had a lovely time with my son celebrating my birthday. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.

A wonderful institution. Good prices and an extraordinary atmosphere. The facility is warm and has a nice terrace. Delicious dishes, especially shrimps

Had a very pleasant meal, good food, good staff.

I have been a few times now..always excellent. The Sunday roast is my favourite... Really fresh and tasty. Choice of meats, have both beef and pork - both equally good. Have been to the teepee in the back, but would advise the main building, particularly if you have older guests as there's a bit of a slope! Other food choices also excellent.. A word for the staff. They are properly trained, attentive and friendly.

First visit and so impressed. From the professional and friendly manager to the really efficient staff we couldn't fault the service. My garlic King prawns were freshly cooked as were my partners mussels The Roast Sirloin of beef was to die for with tasty vegetables and fluffy roast potatoes. This will definitely be my go to place for Sunday lunch now

Spot on! Beautiful marquee and beautiful food. Mussels were bloody lovely and so were the roasts.

The waitresses we all very friendly and welcoming and importantly attentive. What was particularly pleasing is that we were presented with a bottle of water as soon as we sat down at no charge, which for Pubs in the UK is very rare, but very good to see. The food we ordered was delicious, and prepared to a high standard, and the service through out was excellent. I have no hesitation recommending this pub in Dorking for Food and the service provided.

Visited recently with friends, everything was top-notch, excellent service with a smile, fantastic food, lovely atmosphere … I really couldn’t fault it.

Went for new years eve, burger was very tasty

We had a fantastic New Year’s day lunch here. The service was excellent all the way through. The food was delicious, my roast pork was the best I’ve had in years.

First visit on new years and the place is impeccable. Great atmosphere, service and the food was 10/10.

We were visiting Dorking to do some shopping and have some lunch on my husband’s birthday. We looked at the reviews on TripAdvisor and decided on this lovely pub. We were too late for lunch, so had a few drinks until food was served at...

Had our football club Christmas Dinner for 36 in the tent at the back. Great atmosphere, good food even if veg did arrive in dribs and drabs. Great service for drinks

A lovely Sunday Christmas Eve lunch at The Queens Head. Fab menu and very tasty food. Excellent, attentive service and lovely atmosphere. A great place and I recommend

Lovely! Great menu, delicious food and excellent service and atmosphere. Staff were very attentive, helpful and friendly. Amazing restrooms - clean and luxurious. 100% recommend

Fantastic ambience, excellent service and amazing food, especially the Quince and Almond Tart with Creme Anglaise and bay leaves. We dined in the Tipi which was beautifully atmospheric. A real treat and one to repeat. Always happier to support local businesses and this one is...

First time eating in the Tipi, needed a jacket but it was lovely, full of atmosphere and decorated nicely for Xmas

Had a very enjoyable lunch set menu. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Staff very polite and welcoming. Food was perfectly flavoured and good portions too. We have already booked to come back again with family!

We have been to Queen’s Head many times, have tried both lunch and dinner, pub dining and teepee, and have never been disappointed. The interiors and atmosphere are incredibly cosy, the staff is friendly and professional/switched-on, the food is delicious. The vegetarian Sunday roast I...

What a great find! 13 of us old blokes met for lunch, in two groups of 6 and 7 (as that is all we can book online) prior to an important football match. We were greeted in a very friendly and welcoming way and offered...

Amazing burgers & Sunday lunch our fave pub. Lovely atmosphere, great beers and service. Had Vegan option which was wonderful then everyone enjoyed the desserts whilst I had a lovely digestif - thank you!!

Little trip to Dorking from London. No idea what to expect frankly having little experience outside London. Cozy pub with a great progressive menu, starring vegan, dairy free options, and wines by the glass via coravin. Would recommend the beetroot hummus for sure. Though they need to include double the amount of pita with it. We had to order another serving of pita. The short rib was huge and may be shareable if not starving.

Excellent Christmas lunch. Was so tasty and service great. Would definitely recommend.

Cosy outdoor tent structure for a lovely Christmas meal with friends. Great service from the team even though we had some last minute changes.

An impromptu outing for dinner with the family. The food was perfectly cooked and well presented. The restaurant was warm and the staff were welcoming and attentive without being overly so. The restaurant was full on a Thursday night and there was a great buzz...

Lovely little pub with a heated tipi in the garden. The food was incredible! A great selection of starters, we had the prawns and mussels to start both were amazing! For main we had the roast beef which was by far the best roast dinner...

Lovely, cosy, stylish country pub. The food is amazing and the atmosphere/service are great. Perfect for couples & groups.

Booked for a quick bite before heading to Dorking Halls and it didn't disappoint. We had an hour so had to be swift. Staff friendly on arrival and i explained we were in a rush so drinks ordered straight away. We ordered a number of...

This was an impromptu Sunday lunch with my mother and my 2 children, fantastic staff, really attentive, the food was 10/10. I had the veggie roast, which is not easy to get right but this was just beautiful. Cant wait to visit again.

Brilliant Sunday lunch, cant wait to return. This was the first time eating here, often been to the bar for an evening drink. Food was amazing, especially the veggie roast, which is not easy to get right. Staff were really attentive, great lunch.

The place was so cosy, the service was very efficient, we never felt forgotten about, and everyone was really friendly! The food was completely delicious! We had roasts and fish and chips. The roast beef was so tender and delicious and the fish was perfect. Our son said the chips were the best he’s ever had! I would not hesitate in recommending the Queens Head to anyone and we will defiantly be back. Thank you!

Perfect for Sunday lunch. Food was delicious. Varied menu. Really lovely atmosphere, the fire was lit, and it was warm and welcoming.
