This is one of those places one is reluctant to review for fear of it becoming too popular! Absolutely delightful little tea room/ restaurant with cheerful staff and varied menu of very tasty offerings. Whatever you do, don't miss a stroll through the water gardens - the source of the river Wey.

I can only describe this place as magical! Went with mum and had a wonderful roast sat by the stream in the gardens. When I say sat in the garden, it's not just a group of tables in an outside area, but tables spread out along a path in extensive gardens by a spring and stream. Food is excellent, staff are very attentive and helpful and the prices are very reasonable. We're in upwey for 3 days and will definitely eat here again before we leave!

Myself & a friend had coffee/tea 1st before a quick stroll around the water gardens in the rain and then back to have lunch. We had our 2 dogs with us but we were made very welcome. Our lunch was excellent & great value, we finished off with Victoria sponge. Will visit again, thank you for excellent service 😊

First time I visited with family. It's one of the most beautiful, unique restaurants around. Not only was the food amazing quality ( try the Scones with cream and jam 🤤 ) But also the staff went out of their way to make it a pleasant experience. Then the best surprise of all is the truly beautiful gardens. You can eat outside too ! We'd like to thank your whole team for a warm welcome and pleasant experience.
