Acorn Restaurant
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Provincial neighbourhood restaurant with sunny European accents."
Overview
Just off Godalming's High Street, the Acorn transports diners to Europe and sunnier climes, with obvious nods to Spain. Expect tapas, paella, gambas and crema Catalana on a varied roster, bolstered by daily specials and driven by flavour, balance and generosity. Decked out in pastel shades of blue and cream with casual seating, the vibe is relaxed, unpretentious, hospitable neighbourhood bistro.

About the area
Surrey is one of England’s most wooded counties, with over a quarter of the landscape designated as an official AONB and plenty of history evident in the countryside. You’ll find sandy tracks, cottage gardens and welcoming village inns, and on the fringe of Greater London you can picnic in Chaldon’s hay meadows, explore the downs at Epsom, or drift idly beside the River Thames
