Introducing Bruce, the brilliant mastermind behind
our culinary creations and revered leader, whose
gastronomic expertise knows no limits!
Trained at the illustrious Sushi Tokyo Academy, and further honing his culinary skills under the guidance of Pru Leith at Leith’s Catering, he delved deeper into the vibrant European culinary scene, before catapulting into the world of Michelin-starred restaurants and opulent five-star hotels.
From the prestigious kitchens of The Mandarin Oriental in Hyde Park to iconic settings such as The Dorchester and The Waldorf, Bruce thrived alongside culinary luminaries such as Gordon Ramsay, David Nichols, Anton Mosimann and Eric Vernice.

Bruce held the esteemed position of Director Chef at the Economist Newspaper group. His culinary journey extended to the private realms of prominent individuals worldwide, where he curated gastronomic experiences in opulent villas, luxurious alpine chalets and he graced the sleek teak decks of super yachts.

Mixed fish starter avoid as: old used oil, too much salt and old fish was added to the fresh fish mix. Service was stretched on valentines night Hard chairs causing numbness restricted blood circulation Ribeye Steak served on top of the dauphinois potato in a bowl!! So the blood drained into the potato and there’s no place to cut the meat without mashing the vegetables plus the sauce (additional charge) was served having been overcooked in the microwave. Wine was good The bill was incorrect as two bottles of wine was substituted for two glasses of champagne an addition of £70 Frustrating

First time visiting having heard positive noises about the restaurant in Godalming. Plenty of care on arrival and taking of orders. Only quibble was the time waiting for a starter whilst my wife had hers arrive and was finished by the time my order arrived. Quality of food however was exceptional and would still consider returning.

I had one of my best ever meals at this restaurant 4 years ago, and it is amazing to know that things are still going strong. The food last night was amazing. The menu was wonderful and it feels very special to have something like this in our local community. If you haven't been already, give it a whirl!

Good food, tired interior and particularly toilets. Please any staff team, albeit somewhat slow service as I think they were short handed.

Have been eating at Acorn since it first opened and I must confess in recent months has fallen slightly out of love with the place. The front of house staff has changed and it just didn’t feel the same. But last night we had a lovely meal (tomahawk steak) and the front of house was good - friendly and attentive.
