    Gorgeous Gerties was a great place for my first Afternoon Tea in England! The vintage atmosphere…read moreinside was cozy, welcoming, and a perfect escape from a chilly day in Dorking. At the start of the Tea, my fiancée and I selected our preferred tea variety. I opted for the English Breakfast Tea which came out in a cute china pot covered in a yarn sweater. Before our tea was even done brewing, a beautiful two-tier food platter came out with ham and tuna finger sandwiches on the bottom and two types of cake (red velvet and double chocolate) on the top. My fiancée is not able to consume chocolate though, so it would have been nice to be given the option to select our cake flavors. In addition, we were given a bowl of potato chips/crisps and freshly baked raisin biscuits/scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Everything looked and tasted especially scrumptious! Be sure to take a break and walk upstairs to the cute boutique store with its variety of vintage trinkets. The reason why I am docking Gorgeous Gerties one-star is due to a booking miscommunication. My fiancée went out of her way and reserved our Afternoon Tea two weeks before my arrival from California. She requested the table nearest the window for perfect people watching but when we arrived, another group was already in that place. The hostess explained that she misread the table details in the reservation book, leading to the logistical issue. Using a digital (not handwritten) reservation book in the future would be an easy way to prevent a problem like this in the future. To add insult to injury, the hostess wasn't very apologetic until after our Tea and we were made to sit in the back of the Tea Room to the dismay of my fiancée. Thankfully, our kind server and the tasty tea + treats eventually put my fiancée at ease. At £12.95/person, the Afternoon Tea at Gorgeous Gerties is an incredible value and set the bar high for future Teas in the future!

    My pre-salsa food search last Wednesday took me to Viva on West Street. It obviously has different…read moreguises, ranging from a breakfast spot in the mornings, to light lunches and tea to a restaurant at dinner time I was offered a choice of where to sit and I loved the fact that the different areas had very different atmospheres - a large airy sunlit but covered large back room to more intimate rooms in the front. I was also pleased to see root beer float on the drinks menu - ahh, nostalgia when I ordered it Food-wise, I started with the mozzarella salad which was beautifully plated but strangely failed to wow my palate. Perhaps a bit more dressing would have provided a contrast to the mini mozzarella balls and tomato. Also, the advertised toasted pumpkin seeds were missing from my plate and would have added some crunch. A good idea with good mix of ingredients but needs a little tweaking For main course, I had a lovely robust spaghetti sausage carbonara. The weather was a bit cold and wintery and the solid carbohydate base of pasta, meaty sausage and bacon covered but not swampedin a cheesy sauce was a great antidote to the chill outside. I did struggle to pick up the advertised lemon zest but I don't think it was ever going to stand much of a chance against the other ingredients I was also very impressed that my server sorted me out a small (and cheap!) side order of deep fried courgette as I wanted to try it but didn't want the £4.25 starter portion size. It's nice to see when restaurants are flexible for their customers. They were nice but I do have to give the edge to the version at Two to Four restaurant across the road A solid 4 stars with a lovely variety of meals available from cakes to more substantial meals

    A very good lunch time dining experience. Extremely fresh and tasty pizza. Knocks the blocks off…read morerip off merchant pizza express and the average ask Italian for quality of food. Will enjoy coming back here and trying some of their other dishes
