The Brasserie At Eldfordleigh

Had cause to be hanging about the Elfordleigh a couple of times over the last month because a colleague has been staying here. The whole hotel is a bit old fashioned semi suburban golf clubby kind of place. Seems as if the Brasserie is an attempt to make things a bit more relaxed. My first impression was that it was underused and that it had been recently decorated in an early eighties rugby club bar style with easy wipe floor for spilt beer and worse. There was one couple eating on one visit and a table for four on the other. Almost no one using the bar itself. I would not come here especially and if I was staying in the hotel I would probably try to arrange transport to a local pub or into town.

When waiting at the bar there were no bar staff .....after waiting 20 minutes I went to reception and the bar staff were there, to which they then came and served us. Didn't get the room we actually paid for either. Food wasn't to our taste. Disappointed.

Had a wonderful meal with my wife and kids overlooking the golf course. The staff was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. We enjoyed a lovely walk through the grounds afterwards.

We hosted a surprise baby shower for my daughter at this restaurant. The room was lovely and we were able to decorate it to our liking. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly. The drinks were reasonably priced and the cream teas and high teas were delicious and beautifully presented. Overall, it was a great experience that didn't break the bank.

This restaurant offers a fantastic deal with a 3-course set menu and even has a resident cat! It's a great value for delicious food at an affordable price. What more could you want?
