Burley Manor - Carta

We had a fantastic dinner at this restaurant. The Wild boar pate starters were rich and flavorful, while the mushrooms on sourdough were delicious and complemented by a tasty sauce. Our main course of Chateaubriand was cooked perfectly according to our preferences. The chocolate delice dessert was exceptional and unforgettable. The old country house-style décor created a cozy atmosphere, and the service was excellent. Overall, a memorable and satisfying dining experience.

The ambiance at this restaurant is lovely, but the quality of the food is disappointing. It seems that there is a new chef in the kitchen. I ordered a T-bone steak, which seemed to be cooked in a microwave without any caramelization. It lacked flavor, so I sent it back. The mushrooms were old and shriveled, so I returned those as well. Next, I tried the pork chop, which was overly rare inside and burnt on one side. I couldn't eat that either. However, the Taitinger champagne was excellent, as were the chips.

The beautiful scenery and the deer at the entrance are absolutely breathtaking. However, we were disappointed with our lunch experience. The four of us waited nearly an hour for our food, which was only average at best. The "hot smoked salmon bagel" turned out to be a bagel with canned salmon, not quite what we were anticipating from a hotel of this caliber. Additionally, we were surprised to find out that they do not accept cash and do not split the bill on multiple cards. Overall, it was a disappointing afternoon for what was supposed to be a special occasion. We definitely will not be returning. Ver carta

Booked tapas afternoon tea which was advertised as tapas and sweet things (i.e. cakes etc) but instead we got sandwiches and tapas. I did not complain at the time as I thought I may have misread the description on their website. I checked the website when I got home and I was correct. I sent an email complaining and received one back saying ‘I will inform the manager of your comments’. I have not heard any thing more from them despite sending another email but I have noticed the tapas afternoon tea has disappeared from their website. Extremely disappointed with the afternoon tea and also their response.

Was a lovely evening and partook of our aperitifs outside. We were offered for our order to be taken and informed when meal available.....never appeared so we finally took our table as booked. Even though we were the only customers in the restaurant at that time (1915) it took 15min for order to be taken and at least 30min before the meal arrived. When meal arrived was obvious cooked fresh and of a very high standard. Unfortunately a side dish was overlooked. Sadly tho' only veg, it was a good 15min before served.....almost too late. I think some recompense should have been included in the bill but, sadly not

Afternoon Tea We arrived at our booked time of 3pm and were showed to our table in the lounge, after about 10 minutes a waitress arrived and asked what we would like to drink which arrived 10 minutes later I asked for a jug of water and told that it was available by the door no offer of service, we drank our tea , then the platter of food arrived , no explanation of what was on offer, no spoon for jam or cream we asked for hot water to get more tea out of the pot, I had to ask for butter for the savoury scones which was delivered in prepackaged portions, which we discovered should have been filled so no need for the butter So to summarise, the staff made no effort to make us feel welcome , n...

Beautiful setting aside, this restaurant needs massive improvement from the service to the food. When we arrived we were the only ones there and still the service was very very slow. Sparkling water flat. Hot food was served cold. Steak tough, tapas order nothing as expected (not sure it was even tapas? and tinned salmon in the bagels. No personal service by one waiter even though it was a quiet. We were served drinks by one, order taken by another and food delivered by another. Then another popped up to ask once in two hours if we wanted another drink. They all looked nervous as they were very aware that everything they were delivering was second rate. Not once were we asked if our meal was...

We went for an afternoon meal to celebrate our friend’s impending wedding. What a beautiful setting, the hotel was cosy and the fire was roaring. We watched the deer from our window and it was all rather enchanting. Until we waited roughly an hour for food we were the only people in the restaurant. The food arrived and quite frankly was completely inedible for everyone. Pretty much everything went back to the kitchen and some of it totally untouched. I don’t know quite what’s going on in the kitchen but I won’t be returning to find out. None of us have the money to throw away and this was supposed to be a treat. We paid up in hindsight we shouldn’t. I guess the disappointment was enough. The...

Restaurant was booked as a birthday meal purely based on proximity to the rest of the day's activities. Mistake number 1 was not coming here to read previous reviews, as the majority of the recent ones seem to share the same sentiment. To note, neither the bar nor the restaurant were busy, and the staff numbers seemed more than ample for the amount of patrons. One of our drinks (on a table of two) had to be ordered twice. Even then it took 20 minutes to arrive. Not the end of the world but begins to set the tone. We ordered steaks. One rare, one medium rare. One with the regular fries swapped with truffle fries. To note, the other food coming out looked incredible, but if you're going to off... Ver carta
