From East to West:

Claygate
Weston Green
Molesey (East Molesey)
Esher including West End

Hersham including Burwood Park
Molesey (West Molesey)

Stoke D'Abernon
Weybridge including St George's Hill
There's also Painshill Park, near Cobham (as mentioned in Mike D's link), which also has ornate parkland and gardens.
DG stopped for tea at severndroog castle for example
"And what of the tearoom? It's compact and cakey, with a menu ranging from frothy drinks to jammy toast. I plumped for tea and a panini, the latter properly baked and served up with coleslaw on a wooden platter. "
And National Trust and other gardens (like Painshill Park and Wisley RHS) are often good places to try.
National Trust places like Claremont which have the tearoom outside the paid area are a real resource.
