1853 Restaurant And Bar

We had dinner the evening we arrived, the food was very basic. It was not bad but it did not leave me wanting more. The drinks were good.

We only ate once in the restrauant as the menu stayed the same throughout our stay. There were too many flies buzzing around our table which was very irritating and spoilt the meal

The bar area is the old library and the juxtaposition of modern and more traditional decor is great.Well thought out seating and a great bar area and a large choice of gin and other spirits is thoroughly enjoyable. Ver carta

We ate here whilst staying at the hotel. There is no doubt they are trying to be Dining experience but are not quite there. Service was quite poor, not very attentive at all. Starters were very average. I had pork for main, my partner had lamb, both were cooked quite nicely.

Limited but adequate menu, food nicely presented and pleasant. Tables very close together. Service slow, took over 2 hours for a 2 course meal. A number of large groups were dining which were wedding guests including quite a number of exuberant young children. Not the romantic evening we were hoping for

Stayed at the hotel here, so had dinner reservations for 8:45. Very popular. Great selection of gluten free too which was a great sign for my girlfriend. Blade of beef for mains was delicious. Service appalling, took 45 mins for someone to clear our plates after we’d finished, and even then we had to ask. Staff more interested in chit chat than serving. Getting the bill we had to ask too. Pricey food is good and worth the price but service should reflect that too. Ver carta

Visited here with friends, the setting is lovely and the Christmas decor is tasteful.The food was good but 5he confit of duck is basically two deep fried rice balls with a small bit of ground duck, not what you imagine and not that great .Blade of beef slow cooked was tender, sadly the service was slow and the waiters sometimes a little hard to understand ,Lighting is low so a bit difficult to read the menu and tables are close together .The venue is romantic and grand which compensatesProsecco at £40 a bottle is a rip off though

Went here on the evening of 3/4/2020Food was fantastic, I had the Broccoli and Stilton soup to start, it was very tasty. For main. I chose the beef. It was beautiful! My partner has a Scallops to start, these were seasoned well and nicely cooked, he then had the duck for his main and really enjoyed it. The restaurant is busy but it’s well managed. One rude waiter, who unfortunately we didn’t get his name. The rest of the staff are great though. They seem to work all hours under the sun as they’re there for the breakfast shift too. For the hours they seem to work, they’re doing a great job!

I took my mum and two daughters to Tortworth Court for afternoon tea on December 8th to celebrate my mum's 90th birthday. I had hoped it would be a special treat, but we were disappointed with the experience. After being seated, we had to wait a long time for our order to be taken and for our food to be prepared. The tea that was served was not up to standard - there were no homemade cakes, only bite-sized party food similar to what you would find at a supermarket, and soggy microwave sausage rolls. The finger sandwiches were made with sliced Kingsmill bread, processed cheese, and processed turkey, and were not very tasty. We had to ask for a cup to go with the pot of tea that was brought to...
