What Scotlandmac likes about Fairfax:
The restaurant has a beautiful terrace with a great view, and the price for a three-course meal seemed reasonable at first. We enjoyed a glass of champagne on the terrace and our starters, asparagus and pate, were good. However, the quality of the meal declined after that. We both ordered steaks, which were cooked fine, but the accompanying side dishes were disappointing. View all feedback. What HondaHound doesn't like about Fairfax:
We were staying at Leeds Castle and this was the breakfast included in the price. We also tried dinner. Good ambiance and superb views over the castle especially at night. Breakfast avoid the smashed avocado the poached eggs were solid and the pureed avocado was awful. We send it back. The 'help yourself ' cooked breakfast wasn 't too bad but, come on, why are you providing stone cold plates??? No plate warmer in sig... View all feedback.
