   Where do I start? What a fantastic night we had at Maison last night. Such a beautiful old building with so much character. The food was spectacular-every course was delicious. Ben is such a talent in the kitchen and we enjoyed watching him prepare some of the dishes while having a glass of bubbles!! Lornette was a brilliant host; she is funny and entertaining and felt like an old friend by the end of the evening. We will definitely be back. Sonia, Graeme, Maddy & Oliver x

   Absolutely incredible meal from a wonderful couple! We ate here on a Friday having booked the table as soon it became available online (v important if you want a seat!). From start to finish this was a wonderful experience. Every dish was impeccable. We sat at Ben's table (the family dining table) and got to experience dinner with Ben as he put it together. Totally magical, can't recommend it enough ☺️

   Have been lucky enough to go here twice since it opened. Finally, amazing food at this level outside of London. The couple who run this are delightful and the care taken with every tiny element of every dish was mind-blowing. I can't believe it doesn't have a Michelin star or two yet. Having eaten in many starred restaurants, this surpassed all of our 1 star experiences, most of our 2s and I would say on its way to a 3. Go for the bread alone, the hand made butter which included the homegrown herbs. You don't get a choice re food (unless vegetarian options), and everything we had was stunning as was the cosy intimate atmosphere. The kind of meal where every bite is wow and each course is your new favourite. (and the cocktails are lush). It's tiny, hard to get a table, and perfect. Save up and do it! Worth every penny.

   This was not just a restaurant, this was a gastronomic experience unlike anything else we have ever had. Booked as a 30th Birthday dinner we were delighted by how special we were made to feel at the Chef's Table. Lornette and Ben run the restaurant and were like old friends within minutes, the atmosphere and surroundings were superb and the food was to die for. They offered a chef's table tasting menu that consisted of 10 courses, each was meticulously prepared and presented with flair, in front of our eyes. It was a meal worthy of all our senses: sight, taste, touch, sound and the amazing smell. It was pure theatre on a plate (or rather lots of plates). Each course was explained, matched with wine and savoured completely. Nothing was overwhelming or too big and surprisingly every ingredient was made to taste wonderful. It was a very special 30th birthday that prompted us to try something different and we are so glad we did. We will remember this meal, and the wonderful Lornette and Ben forever. We have told everyone we know about it and hope to find room on their books to book again. It was simply majestic.

   Amazing, wonderful food and dining experience thanks to Ben & Lornette's incredible restaurant-in-their-home. The aptly named Maison is a new form of fine dining and one not to be missed. Can't wait to go back for a third time!

   Recently, myself and two friends had the pleasure of dining at Maison. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and at home by the very friendly hosts. The menu tasting was a great way to experience the chef's skills and food flare. Maison had to offer. We were spoiled with a variety of delicious dishes that were cooked to perfection. The flavours were incredible and the presentation was exquisite. The highlight of the meal was the chicken. It was cooked to perfection and was the best we had ever had. The desserts were also a highlight, with a range of flavours, colours and delightful surprises. I have Coeliac (gluten free), and the chef was more than happy to accommodate my dietary requirements. He even went above and beyond, making "the best" gluten free bread just for me. This was a really nice touch and made me feel very special. Overall, our experience at Maison was fantastic. The food was outstanding and the hosts were very friendly. The price was also worth it for the quality of the food and service we received. I would highly recommend Maison to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you again and look forward to dining with you again in the coming months. Top tip - book as soon as dates are released.

   We used to visit the London House for special occasions when Ben & Lornette had their restaurant in Old Woking and West Byfleet so we were eager to visit their new place. It was great to chat to them both throughout the evening. The restaurant feels intimate and welcoming. I love the concept of a dinner party vibe, there is no menu but you have your own table. We arrived just after 6.30pm for pre dinner drinks. A 7 course taster menu is then served from 7.30pm. We enjoyed the majority of the food with some stand out courses being the pumpkin velouté, the homemade bread, the duck egg with white truffle and both desserts. Would definitely recommend booking.

   Enjoyed a fabulous meal at Maison. Ben and Lornette are excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome in this beautifully converted and intimate restaurant. We sat at Ben's Table and watched him prepare each course, while chatting about his background as a chef and how he sources his ingredients. We enjoyed ten courses, including one designed just for us from our chosen ingredient. Ben is a talented chef and this restaurant is what Farnham has been crying out for - a proper destination for a special occasion. Thanks Ben and Lornette for a very memorable evening.

   From the moment you walk into this absolutely charming restaurant you feel it is something very special. This tiny businessis run by the most lovely, friendly couple you could wish to meet. As an added bonus they offer the most impeccable food and service too. There are no other staff so in order to ensure the numbers are kept way down to a maximum I would guess of around 16 covers, all arriving for one sitting. There are no food menus, you get what you are given but it is truly excellent food - the best produce, offered through a multi-course tasting menu, bought locally wherever possible and cooked by Ben to perfection. Lornette serves the food seamlessly, explaining the details of each course with true professionalism, friendly but not intrusive. The wine list is reasonably priced and to be honest so is the food for the quality of the product and the standard of the service. Between Ben and Lornette, a restaurant has been created which provides its guest with a truly memorable occasion - a hugely refreshing arrival to the Farnham area.

   What a place! The best dining experience I have ever had. From the moment you walk in the door you feel as if you have entered a friends home for dinner. Lornette and Ben are so passionate but so relaxed and the food is seasonal fine dining at its best. Not one dish we ate was on the sample opening menu as the ingredients were chosen and menu created that day. I can not rate this place highly enough! Thanks for such a great evening
