The Daily Telegraph (February 2004):Simple and deliciously restrained - the priority here is not the decor, but the food. All those primrose yellows and starchy white tablecloths make spring the perfect time to visit.
Cuisine: Ungimmicky and seasonal
The Mobile Food Guide:
'I love this place, so good for a foodie to find!!' ...
Proprietor John Morris is currently in the kitchen and is continuing the restaurant's reputation for excellence, judging by current accolades. His Michelin-starred dinner menu might open with seared peppered tuna with citrus couscous, ginger and soy dressing or chicken, foie gras and artichoke terrine with pepper caramel and toasted brioche.
...the carefully chosen wine list hops around the world in search of value and quality.

The Surrey Chronicle (January 2003):QUALITY of ingredients is the key to the finest cooking and for one growing restaurant outside Guildford it has earned them a Michelin Star for their efforts, writes Jon Weston.
Drakes on the Pond at Abinger Hammer is the only restaurant in Surrey to achieve this status and it is thanks to the hard work of owners John Morris and Tracey Honeysett.
In their two years in charge they have built it up into a successful small business, although they do not want to see it expand too quickly as the food quality could suffer.
The Michelin Star recognised the quality of cooking and the consistency in producing the same high standard of food day in day out as well as using the freshest ingredients to achieve the concentration of flavours.
