About
Sorrel should lead without much debate. Reputation signals are exceptional, and the official site backs that up with a serious produce-led philosophy and open-kitchen identity. In Dorking, it is the most obvious destination restaurant rather than simply a good local booking.
That level of distinction gives the whole batch a clear anchor.
