A wonderful place to eat. Great staff and food was top notch. Even took us back to the car park in an electric buggy as it was raining
Stop over for lunch at this Lovely restaurant. Wanted afternoon tea but was told you'd need to book a head for that. So we had to go for other options on the menu. We had the sandwiches which was freshly made & came with salad & crips. Dessert was delicious.
All the staff we meet are friendly staff. Limited drink options. Would definitely come back next time when we in the area. Very clean beautiful place. Hidden gem.
There are pay parking at the park.
£2 for 6 hrs.
Had the most delicious lunch today.
Beautiful setting friendly staff.
Would definitely recommend.
Excellent customer service, restaurant staff who could not do enough for us at late notice fir a 40th birthday afternoon tea. The chef pulled out all the stops for us. Thank you so much.
This restaurant is located in Audley Mote House, which is part of a retirement community which in turn is located in Mote Park. The location is idilic, with views of the park. The food and service were very good. The preparation of the food took slightly longer than expected, but it was worth the wait. The cost was reasonable, 2 courses for £22 and 3 courses for £24. There does not appear to be a car park for restaurant guests, so I suggest parking in the car park near the entrance to the park and walking a few hundred meters. It costs £2 for 6 hours.
I was a bit sceptical about lambs as I am always a little concerned about the strong smell. But because we had friends recommended Romney and how good the lamb is there, I had to take the risk. It did not disappoint. A must try as they roast the skin to a crisp while keeping the meat medium rare. The complexity of the flavour and bite made it a great gastronomic experience.

We enjoyed our afternoon tea and do not recognise some of the negative previous posts. The sandwiches and cakes were plentiful; we were asked if we wanted more tea. We described the sandwich fillings as ‘classic’ and for us this is a really good thing! Very happy not to be offered coronation chicken or anything similar. It was a shame the cakes weren’t introduced’ but added an element of fun in identifying flavours. We wanted Earl Grey tea which wasn’t available, but were able to select another alternative. The restaurant staff were polite and apologetic over the lack of tea availability, but I do hope the waitress with the cough had been tested 😉
We were the only eaters at our chosen time so felt very health secure and recognised the location demands an element being very careful in their Covid precautions. There wasn’t anyone on reception and our Covid passes weren’t checked, which seems a little pointless but made nobody being in the restaurant a safer feeling.
As for parking on site when it’s dark, the signage leaves much to be desired and maybe would be good to point out at time of booking where it can be found.
The cost was reasonable given for an afternoon tea for the type of venue. It is not the Ritz, Fortnum and Mason or Eastwell Manor and felt about right in quality of food and experience to cost.
We have had much worse experiences for much more money and would go again…..but in the hours of daylight next time 😀
Today enjoyed a beautiful meal at The Romney. We enjoyed the Festive menu very much and complement the chefs. Wouldn't hesitate recommending the Festive menu.
Such a lovely restaurant. Beautiful building, really good food and friendly staff. We will all be returning soon. Thank you x
Friendly and helpful staff, although slow service. We went for afternoon tea, which was great in quality and quantity (a selection of finger sandwiches, fruit scones, clotted cream and jam, and mini cakes). Narrow range of coffees, but excellent range of herbal teas. Will definitely return.
