Beautiful room and excellent service. All the staff were warm, informative and extremely professional.
Tasting menu was exceptional by British standards, and service was brisk.
Food was unique and flavourful. Will visit again!
This is how a Michelin star experience should look like! From the moment you step into the beautiful and elegant country manor you are invited for welcome drinks that you can chose to sip on in the most stunning library, while picking your menu and the wine to complement. The dinner then takes place in the dining room, and even though it’s a 8 course menu you don’t feel overly full. The dishes are made with great attention to detail and taste phenomenal, it’s a wonderful place for a romantic dinner for two, Highly recommend !
Extremely fresh and tasty ingredients (scallop was the best I've had)! Prepared and served well, waiters were prompt, kind and welcoming. Sommeliers were interested and good at explaining, the passion was certainly there and I had some excellent wines with their standard pairing. Total time for the meal was 2:45hrs (we didn't take it slow but also not rushing 😉) at around £250pp with wine pairing, you could definitely take longer if you'd like to have pre and post drinks coffee etc in their fantastic garden/library. They have a smart casual dress code, but it's a rather relaxed atmosphere in a grand old dining room.
PS. Breakfasts and afternoon tea were absolutely fantastic and service impeccable too.
Lovely place to spend the afternoon. Excellent food and service, beautiful grounds. A memorable visit!
The food was absolutely excellent, and the service as well.
The only thing I would say is that the set up of the dining room is makes it feel extraordinarily stuffy. It seems to be organised so that everyone can see everyone else, so there is little intimacy of any.
This restaurant is really fantastic - superb service and really great food. The Vegetarian tasting menu was fantastic with a lot of thought going into it. You get what you pay for, and a well deserved Michelin star.
Quintessential countryside experience. Respect to tradition and heritage. Everything absolutely pristine
We ate here twice during our stay. The first time was in an oppresively small room with zero ambience, but we ate off the al acarte menu which was delicious and the service excellent. The second time we were in the main room where there was more ambience (re: noise), but the service was shocking - massive waits between the taster menu meant we didn't get out until 2.5hrs later (11:30pm) - was also disappointing compared to the al acarte.
Probably the most luxurious meal I've ever had.
Fantastic experience. Worthy of the michelin. Enjoyed every course of the tasting menu. Service was brilliant. Will definitely be back
