A table booked for five on a Thursday in August What a pleasure to visit this fabulous restaurant and genuinely feel welcomed by the owner and all the staff. A great selection of Good Honest food cooked to perfection. We all enjoyed our Lunch. Yes it's like stepping back in time at The Toby Cottage. Back to the days when the customer was made to feel special. Top service with a smile by a professional host and waiters . Just amazing a thing that you rarely find these days. It's a pleasure to award this Fine Restaurant Five Stars on Everything. WE WILL BE BACK. ,JUST MAGIC.

Went to this restaurant as a walk-in on a Tuesday night and was seriously impressed.
In contrast to the modern trend in restaurants, the menu is vast and all of it looks very appealing.
The chef is excellent and the food is top-notch. The Maitre d' is charming and hospitable and the prices are reasonable.
There is a fair bit of competition in Ripley when it comes to restaurants but this place really ought to be a lot busier than it is.
Highly recommended.

Having an hotel & restaurant background, I'm pretty fussy! However, our greeting on arrival was warm and friendly, the staff were attentive, yet relaxed, the table settings were white tablecloth and silver cutlery, the glasses were spotless and the food absolutely delicious! The ambience was cosy and relaxed. I honestly couldn't fault it!

This place has charm and service and excellent food! I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting a really good meal and good old fashioned manners, service and nostalgia. Staff are the absolute shinning star of the Toby.

Came back to our wedding venue 50 years on to celebrate our Golden Wedding - so glad we did. Had an excellent evening with wonderful food and best service ever. Thank you all for making our evening so special.

The best restaurant in the world. I’m not even joking. Please recommend to all your friends and family. I’ve been coming here since I was tiny and the Toby Cottage is still perfection in every sense of the word.

We tried this restaurant while staying overnight in Ripley and what a find!
Lovely atmosphere, generous portions, fabulous, proffessional staff. A group on another table were enjoying a birthday celebration, where the staff joined in and sang Happy Birthday, which was a nice touch and the fact that the desserts are brought round on a trolley was super old fashioned - lovely.
The only hiccup was that it seemed rather pricey but a good evening out.

An excellent, typical English cuisine with a rich wine list including marvels from Spain such as rare Ribeira del Duero. Ripley is one this charming treasures of the Surrey country side and the Tobby cottage seems to be part of a novel by William Thackeray.

Jayne Thornton

Food and service was amazing faultless .
Waiters were attentive whity and professional which is very rare to find these days. A tad expensive but the whole evening experience was well worth it .
We will be going back for my birthday celebrations again next year .

Having returned, once again, from a very enjoyable lunch at The Toby Cottage, Ripley I felt compelled to write a review.
Having, for many years, visited this restaurant for lunches and dinners both with friends, family and as a President of a Women’s Institute with 20 members I have yet to be disappointed. The waiters are unobtrusively attentive and friendly and the food unsurpassable, there is always a varied selection both on the set menu and a la carte and I would strongly recommend The Toby Cottage. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the beamed ceiling makes it “oldy worldy” and I hope, very much, to continue my patronage for many years to come.

Excellent Sunday roast, good portion, lovely dessert & wine list. Fast service and friendly staff.

Excellent service, really good food, and a nice atmosphere. Prices are higher than good pub meals but definitely worth it. Sea bass cooked beautifully, tuna and risotto devine.
Robert Walton
