Lord Bute - Carta

great place to eat or a Sunday dinner. waitress very attentive and cris is a great manager. I had many good times in the restaurant and some unforgettable memories. the slowly boiled due confit it is always a good choice or pan roasted scalopps for beginners.

We only stayed at Lord Bute for one night in March after leaving an overpriced and terrible pub B&B nearby. The staff at Lord Bute were very friendly and efficient, and we had a beautiful room. It was great value for the money and the breakfast was delicious. It really made our weekend.

Came for an afternoon tea and the food and service were amazing. Everyone was very attentive and i dont think my tea or champagne glass were ever empty. The sandwiches and scones were delicious and everything was presented so nicely. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of going, you will not be disappointed. Ver carta

We were celebrating a personal milestone and had an enjoyable evening and an excellent meal. The restaurant manager was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. Lord Bute has recently changed management and is better for it. We look forward to dining there again as we are locals. I’m sure other locals would benefit from adding the Lord Bute to their list of places to have an enjoyable lunch or evening. MC 9 Nov 23

I recently attended the Wednesday Jazz night with a set meal at this restaurant. The food selection was excellent and each course was served fresh and hot. The service was top-notch and the dining room was beautifully decorated. The live music added to the ambiance and made the evening feel very special. All of this at a great price. I will definitely be returning next year for our anniversary. I highly recommend this place.

Very glad that it is not closed contrary to public opinion! I’m so pleased that this place remains here and that the food and menu had a much-needed overhaul! I can see some people have written detailed reviews but i’m not much of a writer. I just wanted to say that my wife and I eat in lots of top-tier restaurants and the Lord Bute now stands 2nd to none! We are thrilled to have this top-notch restaurant on our doorstep once again! Ver carta

The Lord Bute has always been “a name” here in Highcliffe, and we have been on at least six occasions over the last few years. Last time we came I believe we had venison which was simply dreadful which I did indicate at the time. We wanted to try the new incarnation under the new chef, but wanted to wait a couple months (my advice, never try something new in the first two months). We had Potted Crab, and Seared Scallops. The crab was delicious and my husband said the Scallops were the best he’d ever had. We had the Salmon Grenobloise and the roasted duck breast for main course which were also, I must say, flawless. We can now safely put the lord Bute back at the top of our dining list and lo...

We’ve eaten Bradley Green’s food at Green’s Berkshire, which was flawless, Horse Groom Shoreditch, also flawless and the Polo Club which was “ok” but way too complex and our meal at the Polo for two was £485, which we have never got over, it was exquisitely presented though, looked too good to eat. Anyway, we had to try The Bute after following his career for so long. To our surprise he actually is there and clearly working in the kitchen, he walked by us several times we would have liked him to stop for a meet and greet but he did seem very busy so didn’t want to make pains of ourselves. Our friends are very local and had been before a long while ago. We had a mix of Celeriac Soup, Potted C...

I came away from my recent visit to this lovely restaurant with some concern. For good reason, this has been a favourite venue for many years and locals are watching closely to see what a recent change of ownership will mean. Until my most recent meal here, I'd been encouraged that much remained the same, including excellent professional waiting staff. However, despite a price hike, the set-price lunch menu now offers a more limited choice, with two out of eight items being vegetarian/vegan and another two with cost supplements meaning they don't really belong on the table d'hote menu. My starter was the most disappointing start to a meal ever offered here; it was essentially a beige crab pa... Ver carta
