We had breakfast and dinner there. Dinner menu is a bit pricey but food was tasty and staff was very friendly and attentive. Overall our dining experience was great.

We took my Stepmother for her 75th birthday lunch and had hoped for a really nice occasion. from the pictures it looked as if the place would be slightly upmarket and the food exciting and good. All of that was sort of true. This restaurant seems to be mainly about fancy tea, rather than lunch. if you didn't want sandwiches and a bowl of (slightly under cooked) chips you had six options for starters and mains together, although they are not separated on the menu. Perhaps I just misunderstood the web site but it was not the celebration we had hoped for. That said the staff were all lovely and the food we did have (other than the disappointing chips) was good (oh and the avo mash was disconcertingly cold, rather than room temperature, which made the toast and egg completely cold as well). I wouldn't chose to go but but I wouldn't shriek if someone said that's where we were going.

Great vegan options on the main menu now, delicious and unusual. Clearly a lot of thought gone into including vegan items on the main menu and it is appreciated!Friendly staff, light and bright restaurant.

Nice place to visit and servers were helpful, though did need to be chased a few times.Very few people there so felt quite and no atmosphere sadly.

What a huge disappointment!Friends and my husband and I went here for Sunday lunch today.I can only say what a complete and utter disappointment.Waited ages for food, menu changes happened before we ordered, a lot of wines were unavailable. When food finally arrived it was cold , tough and all together not enjoyable.The whole thing was a disaster from the start. We will not be going back.

Shockingly bad service from a four star hotel. I had my baby shower here yesterday and the service we received was absolutely dire. We had to chase our own hot drinks for our afternoon tea, and ended up getting them towards the end of our meal, no offer of refills. Cold drinks ordered that never materialised, yet was charged on the bill. Sandwiches were dumped at one end of the table and not presented on tiers. Had to ask them to clear the table, which was abandoned half way through after a few trays and plates were taken away so we ended up ourselves moving it onto a clear table. Plenty of staff around they just hide in the corner appearing to do not much at all! We were then presented with our bill and they had the audacity to add a £50 service charge because we were a large party. Asked immediately for it to be removed which then caused huge confusion when receiving our new bill. Very poor indeed for £27.50 a head. Food wise it was ok, standard finger sandwiches. Scones were lovely, jam was more of a compote than a set jam. Plenty of cream etc and the patisserie cakes were pleasant. I certainly won't be returning and have experienced much nicer afternoon teas (and for a lost less money!)

I was given a Tea for 2 voucher as a Christmas present from a member of my family & her bf. I was so excited that they cater for Coeliacs and food intolerances.What a disappointment to be serviced soggy sandwiches. Anna was very apologetic and changed them for me, but I was too embarrassed to tell her that the sandwiches she brought out were frozen in the middle?? I would have said something but didn't want this to reflect on a family member who works there. The grounds are beautiful, the restaurant is gorgeous but the food was not up to standard and sadly will not be in a hurry to return. Such a shame!

A beautiful dining room in a country estate.The service was a little slow and unresponsive at times - a request for a beer took long enough to be actioned that I was about to go and find out what the problem was.One of the duck dishes was cooked until the meat was dry and hard.When mentioned to a waiter the plate was removed, but no further feedback received.Other empty plates were attempted to be removed when some in our party were still eating.When it came time to pay still nothing was mentioned about the overcooked duck.When we raised it, the cost of the dish was deducted at their initiative, so that's something.I'm hoping this was a one off as I'd like to visit again and enjoy what has the potential to be a memorable location.

How disappointing!! After the teas and chocolate arrived, trying to get someone's attention took 5 minutes and we had to ask for milk to go with the tea. surely this is not acceptable. getting the attention of a waiter or waitress was very difficult. Thought it was a good idea after this to ask for glasses to go with the water.

Starter of crab cake was very bland. My wife had the asparagus which was even worse. Main course of baked cod was tasty but spoiled by lukewarm veg & sauce. Dessert was a very ordinary choc brownie which was no better than our local chain restaurant. The young waiting staff were very polite but seemed completely overwhelmed and we waited about an hour between starter and main. Not great for the money.
