Did you know you can visit Ramster Teahouse without needing a garden ticket? It is open 10 am to 5 pm Wednesday through Sunday during summer and autumn, every day during spring. Apart from its beautiful setting, there are many reasons to visit this dog-friendly tea room near Haslemere, including delicious coffee, freshly made food, indoor and outdoor seating, and free parking.
Each season brings its own reason to visit, from a refreshing, iced coffee and a spot in the garden shade in the hotter months, to a warming hot chocolate by the wood burner after a brisk autumn walk.
Fresh Food on the Menu
There is lots to choose from, all served with fresh, homemade touches. Sandwiches come on malted or white bread with salad and homemade slaw, including Kent ham and cheddar, smoked salmon and cream cheese, and coronation chicken and lettuce.
Toasties are popular too, from a simple cheese toastie to a tuna melt with spring onions, mayo and cheese, along with a daily quiche served with salad and new potatoes.
There is also homemade soup of the day with bread and butter, a full range of hot drinks from Ramster's very own coffee blend to chai and turmeric lattes. For those with a sweet tooth, there's ice cream or a choice of mouthwatering cakes.
A Warm Welcome for Cyclists: Surrey's Favourite Pit Stop
Chiddingfold sits in the heart of Surrey's best touring cycling country, and with plenty of seating, Ramster Teahouse is ideal for cycling groups.
If you are out on the Northchapel and Plaistow loop from Blackdown Hill (24.4 miles) or the shorter Hambledon Common loop from Chiddingfold (18.7 miles), Ramster makes a great refuelling stop along the way. Whether you want a breakfast bap with a cup of coffee, a healthy lunch with a refreshing smoothie, or the comfort of a piece of cake, it is well worth stopping for a break. After a few hours in the saddle, a good tea room is exactly what you need before heading off back on your route.
Dog-Friendly Tea Room in Surrey
Finding a dog-friendly tea room with space for them to relax is a challenge, which is why Ramster Teahouse has become a firm favourite with its four-legged visitors. There's plenty of shaded outdoor seating, and for colder months, a cosy wood burner to snuggle up beside inside the tea room. Many of Ramster's visitors come with their dogs because it is such a chilled-out environment, plus there is a jar of dog treats and doggy ice cream on the menu. You can then enjoy a walk around 25 acres of stunning woodland (garden ticket prices apply).

Sometimes you want somewhere easy to meet up with friends and family, no ticket, no booking, no fuss. Ramster's tea room is a great alternative to a busy high street cafe. Larger groups are also welcome, but pre-booking is recommended.
