    Amazing experience. You have to try it at least once. The experience is amazing, and you won’t have the same menu in 2-3 months. We had a separate room, which made the experience even more interesting.

    The most stunning experience and unbelievable combination of flavours, textures and science. Everything from the vibe, food and wine pairing were perfect. Steve is a humble genius and its reflective in everything he does and the vibe he’s created.

    I think Sorrel is one of the best restaurant I ever visit in Surrey Area , here is in UK since 9 years I live in this country. I am always amaze how the chefs are preparing this finest food by seeing the presentation with perfect real délice. We was 6 of us, and all my friends enjoying the food, from beginning till end of Degustation menu which the only one choice , and it was perfect, also the Wine list a lots of choice. Love the ambiance of the restaurant , so cosy and relax old house . And the service was also correct , so after all just perfect fine dinning restaurant in Surrey area. I am glad and happy as all my friends they like it and keep thanking me by introducing this place. Sure and certainly I’ll be back again before I left this country. Highly recommended for those who knows the real fine dinning restaurant with high quality food.

    We had a most memorable 3-course lunch at Sorrel. The ambience was relaxed and intimate, service was very good and attentive, but most importantly the food was perfectly executed and tasted delicious. Every dish was well balanced, sophisticated and beautifully presented. We didn't expect this from a restaurant outside London; the food was on par with the best Michelin-starred restaurants we tried in London, including 2-Michelin-star restaurants The Ledbury and The Greenhouse. Mr Drake is a highly talented chef and I wouldn't be surprised if the restaurant soon gains another star. Highlight dishes were the Herdwick Lamb main (with Jerusalem Artichoke, Smoked Paprika, Sherry, Miso Aubergine) and the Venison main (with Bitter Orange, Earl Grey, Kalamata Olive, Broccoli), and the Apple dessert (with Black Pepper Caramel, Thyme Cream, Malt). It's not cheap but definitely worth a visit for a very special occasion. We cannot wait to return. Second visit: Sublime food, as always, but service a bit slow on this occasion. Sometimes I wish there was a bit more of the delicious accompanying "sauces" on the plate, or a bit more sorbet in the desserts, but this restaurant remains at the top. Third visit: Service was slow again, and not at the same level as the food served, unfortunately. Also, for a lunch at £45 per person, it is a bit disappointing that only one brioche was given with a 3-course meal. When asking for some bread, I was told that they prepared exactly one bread per person, and that bread was complimentary. Apart from that, the dishes were excellent but really small. In the strawberry dessert, one tiny scoop of divine strawberry sorbet is really too little, and a few more fresh strawberries pieces would be most welcome. Because of all this, I have removed one star. Fourth visit: Everything was excellent this time, and service is faster and staff is more friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, and so it made sense to upgrade my rating to 5 stars!

    We visited on Friday lunchtime...the only day left to us at this highly regarded restaurant. We chose the stunning discovery tasting menu using seasonal produce savouring every morsel. Exceptional. A very special experience with informative and attentive service. Yes it was an extortionate expense with the wines and 12.5% service escalating the cost but definitely worth saving up for! Thankyou Steve and the team we will be back!

    Second time at the restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience. It was a mini honeymoon as we got married the day before. We went for the wine flight too and was served by Luke(?) who was very interesting and served some incredible wines. Flora (we think that was her name!) was our server and she was exceptional. And finally, the food was just brilliant and so so tasty. It felt a bit like having the best food we've had in ages in a family home type vibe, so lovely was the atmosphere. Obviously it cost and arm and a leg, but it's really worth it and you must have this kind of restaurant experience at least once if you're able to, especially for a special occasion, or if someone else if paying! Thanks again for making the effort with the flowers, personal menu etc. It meant a lot! Cheers, Dave and Chloe.

    I just wanted to say thank you so much for supper last night. Please thank the entire team for a wonderful meal. The quality of the food was out of this world and the service was impeccable. At no point did we have empty glasses, yet we didn't feel that we were being watched over! The timing of the courses was perfect. It was a really special meal to celebrate quite a few family events!!

    Dinner for 2 in May of 2023 and we were completely blown away by the food, presentation and service! This is a place worth traveling to! We were invited back to the kitchen and although it was the middle of a very busy evening service, Steve took a picture with my wife and I and we admired the gleaming, spotless kitchen and the brightly lit pass. We felt from the moment we arrived that we were going to be treated to a very special evening. Special mention on the wines that although we didn't spring for the pairing (I was driving) the options available were really outstanding, we enjoyed every sip, and every bite, just a perfect night out, and worth the flight from NYC to visit! We would go back in a heartbeat!

    Outstanding, both the food and the service. Thank you Steve for your passion and craft, your team that bring it to life, and for Francesca and the delightful Mia for the exceptional front of house experience. All round perfection, take a bow.

    Fantastic culinary experience at Sorrel on Thursday evening! Had the taster menu with wine flight and it was an incredible treat, very clever indeed! Even got invited to look in the kitchen, looking to return in summer! For me the dishes that stood out the most were the scallop, barbecued quail, supplementary cheese course and the blackberry waldorf dessert.

    Absolutely wonderful! The staff were warm and welcoming, the sommeliers truly excellent, and the discovery menu was superb. We did the wine pairing with the tasting menu and the wine choices were perfect. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed. It was a pleasure.

    Delightful and delicate dishes in a beautiful and atmospheric setting. Each course on the discovery menu is so varied and all were so well put together. Thank you for a wonderful lunch and your great service.

    My mouth is still in orbit! What an exquisite combination of extraordinary cooking, sumptuous wine (Sommelier Francesca is brilliant) and warm, friendly, knowledgeable service. We were made to feel so comfortable it was like we were dining at home (only the food & wine were better!)

    Exceptional quality, nice ambiance, good wines. The fish was outstanding! And a great experience to be able to see what it going on in the kitchen - the crew seemed to be very calm, in control and harmony.

    This is my first time eating at Sorrels and the food was amazing!! The combination of flavors like broccoli and kiwi sound odd, but the taste together was magical. Steve Drake has a tremendous amount of creativity and passion for what he does, the staff was extremely knowledgeable. I cannot wait to go back!!

    Second time I've been to Sorrell, first time was just before lock down. Used a voucher this time and took 3 friends last week. Was expecting good things but forgot how good it actually was, especially since trying quite a few "Fine Dining Tasting Menus" elsewhere in the meantime. It's impressive the minute you walk in the door, they're so gracious, helpful and attentive it's simply unparalleled locally. The attention to detail, the wine recommendations, the attitude is impeccable. I do not wish to be treated like this every time I go out, but it is nice occasionally when you have respect for the people and you spend this kind of money, it is so nice, very much appreciated and I take my hat off to each and every one of the staff for making it such a lovely humbling experience. The food is experimental in the sense it's just stunning and must have taken so much prep', care and thought... however most trying to emulate this experience tend to put out a few courses are on the edge and split the room... but not here! 4 staunch meat eaters walk out talking about how amazing the Turbot was! Don't hesitate to try Sorrel, I've not found better in London. Absolute local gem! Thank you to the chefs and everyone that was working that night. I feel we may have thrown things into disarray a little with our repeated cigarette breaks, whilst no one said anything, we couldn't have helped the flow at all but they acted like Swans... you all deserve a massive round of applause!

    A magnificent experience! Staff were incredibly welcoming, patient and attentive - we were made to feel very relaxed and that we could enjoy the experience at any pace that suited us. We had a newborn with us and they did everything to make us comfortable. The quality of the ingredients were unbelievable - biggest and tastiest scallops I have ever had, perfectly cooked duck - and one of the best desserts I can remember. Sorrel is a real gem that slows down time so that you can truly savor the magnificent cuisine. Jenny was great too - well done team Sorrel you smashed it!

    My first time at Sorrel yesterday. A really beautiful restaurant, understated, decor and absolutely exquisite service, especially the sommelier who was so passionate and knowledgeable. The food was, of course, delicious; beautifully presented and described by the headwaiter. A really lovely experience and would definitely recommend(especially with the wine pairing option on the menu). 😍🥰

    Very excited about our trip to sorrel but felt underwhelmed by the lack of depth in flavour and wow factor in most dishes. Tasty yet flat. Service was good and restaurant comfortable.
