Description

The restaurant at this hotel offers a varied menu with something for everyone, from well-prepared appetizers to hearty mains. While some dishes have received mixed reviews—such as tough steaks or overly peppered soups—many diners praise the quality and freshness of the food, particularly the English breakfast and tempura prawns. The service is generally friendly and prompt, though staff may still be learning about the wine selections. With lovely garden views and reasonable prices, guests recommend making a reservation, especially during busy weekends, to ensure a satisfying dining experience. Overall, it's a nice place for a casual meal.

We ate dinner and breakfast here on the 24th and 25th of August while we stayed at the Lodge, The appetizers and the mains at dinner were well prepared and the service was polite and prompt. Breakfast was included in the cost of our room and we can honestly say this was the best English breakfast we have had on our British trip with the freshest paisteries I have had in years. We would strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone

See also my review of the hotel itself in which I talk about the restaurant. The meal was poor, the look of the restaurant poor, no fineries and the food was mediocre at best.

We recently stayed at the hotel and visited the restaurant on the Friday night. A varied menu at reasonable prices. We plumped for the Friday night special of 2 steak meal and a bottle of wine for £30. The steak was good quality and a reasonable size. It was nicely cooked and came out as we asked for medium to well. Small desert selection but the Eaton mess my husband had was very nice. We didn't book a table but had come back to the hotel quite early so decided to eat there instead of going out again and they could accommodate us as they weren't very busy. However later in the the evening it got very busy and some people who had arrived at the hotel could not get a table so if you know you will be arriving and want to eat at the restaurant book a table , especially on a Friday or Sat night.

Mid pricing but good choice and quality. Steak night on Friday good value and serves good quality steaks for the price.
