If I ever had to choose a type of dining I love the most, it would always be fine dining. The lavish excuse to drink lots of Champagne, put on your best velvet jacket or occasionally a shiny bow tie where a restaurant is the only time you can realistically get away with it. Or if in fact you’re dining at the oh-so opulent André Garrett Restaurant at Cliveden House Hotel. The dining room is a magnificent piece or art and the hotel as a whole really feels more like a palace than a house.
We were thoroughly spoilt on our visit to the dining room at Cliveden. We were shown to a table by a window looking out over a splendid view down to the Thames. Every member of staff fulfilled their roles perfectly being friendly, efficient and professional. The Sunday lunchtime menu while not extensive provided sufficient options to suit every taste. Our meal was excellent from start to finish and while perhaps might be regarded as a little expensive, was excellent value considering an experience which we will find difficult to better.
Decent fine dining, good service. The mocktails are not good, essentially mixed juices. Ambience feels a bit dark and cold. For a similar price range, we have other establishments in the wider area we prefer.
Best beef Wellington I’ve ever had and the Desert trolley was a great addition - there’s always room for pudding right?! Service was pretty old fashioned and the ambience too quiet to have any fun but the food was delish.
Opulent setting in the main cliveden restaurant. Solid fine dining fare with great efficient staff. 16/20
Fantastic location and ambience. The food is excellent, as you would expect of a place like this. Service was exceptional.

Came here for the vegetarian tasting menu to celebrate our anniversary.
We don't normally go for fine dining as often it feels like some kind of awkward charade where everyone sits in silence for fear of breaking some obscure unwritten etiquette, however we both felt very comfortable here.
The views are spectacular, and the venue is truly extravagant. The staff were very friendly and treated everyone equally, so we felt very welcome. Everyone was super on top of the COVID-19 measures, ensuring masks were worn at the appropriate times, hand-sanitisers were used etc.
The food was excellent, each of the 7 courses was impeccable, definitely worth the money. We did have troubles locating the restrooms (I had to get two people to describe were they are, both instructions were a vague set of "go left after the curtains then right then left"), and it was assumed that we were having the meat tasting menu, we had some flagging down to quickly change it to vegetarian before it was too late.
However in conclusion we both really enjoyed our time, both the food and the experience, and definitely would be returning again in the future.
Absolutely mind blown, the menu was out of this world and catered for vegetarians with the best most exciting dishes rather than the same old pasta and risotto. Ambience is perfection, service makes you feel like royalty! This is our new favourite place and can’t wait to come back for the festive afternoon tea very soon!
My family and I had a pleasant Sunday lunch. We sat at a table with a view. The food and service were excellent, but when we were called to our table, the waitress put our pre-lunch drinks on a tray then poured the rest of my tonic into my drink without asking me , spoiling my preferred mix of my gin and tonic.
Had excellent Sunday lunch. Food was delicious and service impeccable. It is a beautiful setting with lovely views. I felt the cost of drinks was rather excessive. All in all a Lovely experience.
Just reading the reviews as that’s what many who’re thinking of visiting, base whether it’s worth the travelling, and one particular review I found very interesting, and that’s from Tasnim Awan. I would be interested if in their land of origin if it would be possible to have either a lovely English cream tea or a full English breakfast?
Myself and my partner found this manor to be very grand traditional English heritage just as it should be, and it should remain as British as it was intended and not converted into a international cuisine theme park.
Top stars all round and we both would return again without question.
Better than Fera at Claridges, I mean services
lovely food at andre garrett restaurant amazing desserts
An amazing dining time to celebrate a special birthday with my other half.
Wish I knew what it is like to stay here but only watched a programme about Cliveden on tv 📺
