Handley's Delicatessen - Mole Valley

This very popular high street cafe is rightly buzzing, it offers lovely hot drinks, shakes and a fab array of cakes for the mid morning pop-in.

Overpriced but still popular. Cheapest sandwich is £5.50, for egg, which is more expensive than the National Trust!! I opted for a sausage roll and cappuccino, which were fine though the coffee was quite small. I agree they need some competition. Nice toilets.

Lovely spot for breakfast with a good selection of pastries and hot food options. The chocolate brownie was excellent.

Extremely overpriced for the portion size and quality of food. Avocado on toast at over £9 was just one slice of burnt toast wth the topping. I would expect more at the price. Breakfast was one sausage, one egg, one slice of toast over £8. Then charge extra if you change the milk in the coffee and charge a 10% service charge on top even when I ordered and paid my bill at the counter. Where was the service? There are limited or no other options in Ashtead High Street. This place really needs local competition to make it wake up and smell its own coffee. Anybody out there wanting to find a good location to open a cafe business, then Ashtead is the place. !
