    Have been eating at Acorn since it first opened and I must confess in recent months has fallen slightly out of love with the place. The front of house staff has changed and it just didn’t feel the same. But last night we had a lovely meal (tomahawk steak) and the front of house was good - friendly and attentive.

    My starter of fresh wood roasted sardines followed by liver and bacon was delicious A glass of Merlot and a warm blondie and brownie with ice cream set me up for the day Everything was fresh making my lunch time experience not too heavy eating or an expensive outing

    First visit to the Acorn for Sunday roasts and it was just wow. The food, staff and restaurant was amazing. Bruce came and chatted at our table, he’s knowledge, experience and passion is captivating and it was a real pleasure talking to him about food. Thank you to all the staff at the acorn for a really lovely Sunday afternoon. We loved it so much we rebooked for the next Friday night and can see us visiting often. This restaurant is a must visit if you love quality food.

    Went for the seafood platter, lobster overcooked. Server was not that welcoming. And super expensive considering the quality and service.

    Fabulous food at Acorn Godalming. Not the cheapest meal but worth the money. The lunchtime main meals are good value for money.
