The Fruit Machine
by Surrey Rocks
loving that when we discovered a particular favourite we could simply ask for more. Once the experience drew to a close, we couldn’t resist extending our stay by taking a table in the characterful courtyard for Pornstar Martinis in the sunshine (the best we’ve ever tasted!), whilst already planning our next visit to the Gin Kitchen. Served on weekends from 11-1pm, the Bottomless Brunch is currently priced at £55 per person. One of many experiences offered by the Gin Kitchen ideal for gin-fanatics, luxury-lovers or simply those looking for a special Surrey Hills’ day out.
They also do Golden Ticket Experience Vouchers for gifting. We can’t wait for our next visit.

THE FRUIT MACHINE COBHAM
Our favourite go-to greengrocers for the finest fruit and vegetables in Surrey turned one last month (Happy Birthday FMC!) and we were happy to celebrate with them and do this birthday photoshoot and accompanying write-up of all their wonderful produce.
FEELING FRUITY - THE STRASBERRY & MORE
Not only do the wonderful team at The Fruit Machine get up at 2am to bring you the finest fruit and veg direct from the London Markets everyday but they bring fruit and veg we didn’t even know existed!
All hail ‘The Strasberry’ - a fusion of strawberries and raspberries and they taste devine. A great talking point if you are ever hosting a dinner party too. We were also lucky to be able to try the Beekers Berries white ‘Limoncello Strawberry’ too. A sharper taste than a normal strawberry but delicious all the same.
VEGETABLES GALORE
Rare vegetable wise we have also been fortunate enough to sample a ‘Caulishoot’ ‘Globe Artichokes’ and the ‘Barlotti Bean’ also known as the cranberry bean. And then there’s the finest Dragon Fruit, Passion Fruit and the biggest and best Cherries we’ve ever tasted.
Having been regular customers of The Fruit Machine we can wholeheartedly swear by the quality of their produce. Without a doubt the crème de la crème of greengrocers. This is backed up by the fact a few local Surrey celebs and members of the Chelsea squad have been seen doing their shops here.
GOING THE EXTRA MILE
The Fruit Machine Cobham also stock a wide range of sauces and condiments from their own range of jams, curds and sauces and the finest local producers including The Chilli Project for spicy sauces and Watt’s Farms for fresh garlic and other locally grown produce. You can pick up The Fruit Machine range for £3.49 for one or 2 for £6 throughout the month of June. Plus, they also offer great Persian, Naan, Pitta and Sangak Breads to accompany meals at home and a range of specially curated Gift Cards which are great gift ideas for friends and family.
