Every diner has a fabulous view from the Gallery Restaurant over the vineyard and Surrey countryside beyond. We preceded our delicious lunch with the very informative and interesting tour around the estate, making it a very memorable experience all round.

It was great venue to celebrate special Birthday. Wine with the meal was fantastic, unfortunately my main course Aubergine was not cooked thoroughly - personally uncooked aubergine is a complete no no for me and hence the lower rating for food. Also we had a wine tasting for Sparkling wine - did no feel it was value for money - luckily the tasters were the wines we had not ordered with the meal but that was sheer luck! Would go again, hopefully will have a better experience next time.

We had a fabulous time and cannot recommend The Gallery highly enough! The food was superb and delicious with plenty of choice for everyone. The staff were great, in particular Sam, who was so knowledgeable and helpful explaining all about the various wines to us - the different grapes used etc. Beautiful views - great food and of course great wine - what more could you want? Cannot wait to go back!

Ate there last year and decided to meet again as half way point but this time different experience - disappointing food and service. We arrived 30 minutes late but kept them informed as very heavy traffic. This they handled no problem. However set meal (2 courses only) disappointing value for money. Also had to ask for bread, ask for mayonnaise and more water and duck terrine came with one small thin piece of toasted ‘bread’ - seriously? I had booked again next week to meet other friends as half way meeting point but am thinking of finding better place to eat. The restaurant was by no means full. Perhaps other people have had similar experience?

Some of these successful English sparkling wine houses have built luxurious new facilities for tours, tastings and showing of their wares but not Denbies. The facilities are a bit tired, the lift up to the restaurant takes an age but.....once you get there and sit down, the views are marvellous, the service was wonderful - warm, genuine, professional and efficient. And the food was really very good indeed. Much better than we had expected. I had the fan-fried sea bass and it was cooked to perfection and was delicious. Worth going just for that. A glass of 2013 blanc de blancs was the perfect companion.
