Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Dorking

A beautiful spot nestled in the Surrey Hills. Food was lovely, high quality and neatly presented. Service was great and everyone very friendly. A great find!

A Perfect Post-Dog-Walk Spot! We visited The Blue Ball in Walton on the Hill after a lovely dog walk, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. There were four of us and four dogs, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a walk. The food was absolutely fantastic—clearly made with care and attention to detail. It’s not every day you find a pub that excels at both great food and a friendly vibe! A special mention goes to the manager, an Irish gentleman I recognized from a visit the year before. I didn’t catch his name, but he’s absolutely first class—fantastic with both customers and his team. His leadership clearly shines through, as both the waitresses and waiters were superb, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. The staff’s friendliness extended to our furry companions too, making it a truly dog-friendly spot. If you’re in the area, whether for a walk or just a good meal, I couldn’t recommend The Blue Ball highly enough.

An excellent find - we will come again. The only slight problem was the state of the toilets, wet floor under urinals, only cold water and no towels.

We enjoyed a very good lunch thank you. My haddock risotto special was excellent, my daughter in law was very happy with the duck and the two children enjoyed their fish and chips. The children's portions were quite small so we ordered extra fries! Very good and attentive service.

The food is exceptional I can’t recommend this place enough. The wild boar vindaloo and the butter chicken are mouth watering! It’s so different to your normal curry house
