OK Visited the Watermill yesterday with my wife, daughter…read moreand dog Nice looking place after the facelift. We are local so popped in for a drink. Arrived and found a nice table in the corner, purchased our drinks and were sitting there for some ten minuets when a young chap in a suit (a junior manager I think) called 'James' came up to my wife and asked "have you booked this table?". My wife said no, but there was no reserved sign on the table. "You,ll have to move" said James, "this tables reserved". I had just returned from the loo to hear my wife request he at least was pleasant and apologised for the inconvenience before moving us to a smaller uncomfortable high-table, he didn't, saying it was company policy not to use reserved signs. Look, I don't have a problem being moved tables, although there was no reserved sign on the table. But I do think one should expect some basic politeness from the junior manager even if he was younger than our kids. To The Watermill management: 1. Maybe consider using 'reserved' signs on tables. 2. Have a 'wait to be seated' sign at the door and a member of staff to seat you. 3. Please make sure your junior managers, 'James' in this case, are properly trained and have basic courtesy and a personality. I was looking for a venue to host our office Christmas party of +30 people here but have now booked an alternative location.

In our quest to find THE replacement for our now discontinued salsa class at Bourne Hall on Friday…read moreevenings, my salsa friend Hilary suggested a Wednesday evening class in Dorking this week. Knowing I'm a keen Yelper, she mentioned the bonus of opening up a whole new range of restaurants to try out down Dorking way. We opened our Dorking account with a meal at Watermill Inn, a pub overlooking the picturesque rolling Surrey hills. Dionne, our waitress, told us that the restaurant had just launched a new menu 2 days previously. The food consist of a lot of pub classics on the main menu supplemented by specials on blackboards up around the pub. There are interesting options like boar on the menu and for those who are indecisive, most sections offered a sampler platter of several of the dishes in that section. We shared a pork and honey terrine to start, which was served with some nice bread that tasted house-made. Satisfying pork flavour which was really enhanced with the onion based chutney Hilary got the burger platter - one each of boar, spicy cajun and beef. All 3 burgers were distinctive in flavour and the chips were good too. My roast pork came on a mound of mash and braised red cabbage. The meat was lovely and moist and there was a good square of the crunchiest crackling! Only the thought of having to dance imminently stopped us having any dessert. A good start to potential salsa in Dorking!
