The Garden - Carta

We had sea bass and cod. Both were attractively presented. The sea bass was fresher than the cod. Overall, the food was just acceptable. Service was by pleasant but bumbling and casually dressed amateurs except for the young woman who took our orders, who was properly outfitted, efficient and knowledgeable.

We had reserved a table at the restaurant but arrived a bit late because our massages at the spa ran over time. The spa contacted the restaurant to inform them of our delay, which was not an issue. We were seated on the beautiful sunny patio and enjoyed our delicious meal along with plenty of tea. The service, atmosphere, and food were all fantastic.

I took my mom out for Sunday lunch and we both decided to try the smoked trout salmon bruschetta, which was amazing. The mushroom risotto with vegetables was also delicious. And the Eton mess for dessert was fantastic! My mom was very happy and felt spoiled. I had also treated her to afternoon tea before, which was also amazing. There were so many cakes that we had to take some home in doggy bags! Ver carta

This restaurant is trying but it is a hotel restaurant so has its limitations. The menu options are good, not a silly amount of options available but everyone is catered for. The food quality is fine but not fantastic, service is a little hit and miss. Product knowledge not the best and second round of drinks not offered. This wasn’t a bad experience though and if weren’t so much of a snob I would of loved it.

The decor in this restaurant is straight out of the 1990s which didn't fill me with hope for the quality of the food, but I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and the service efficient and friendly. My only criticism is that some of the descriptions on the menu weren't entirely accurate for instance, the cheeseboard didn't come wit the promised chutney. But overall, highly recommended.

Called in for a quick lunch. The carvery was very busy so went into the bar at the staff's advice. Found the entire area to be quite dark with hardly any natural light and limited artificial light. Ordered from the bar menu by attending the bar and paid. Price quite normal for such a chain. The dishes came within 15 minutes and were hot and as expected. I would not rush back due mainly to the bar atmosphere but it is OK for a quick lunch. Ver carta

As other reviewers have noted, the décor is a little bland and old fashioned, but we ate here for the two nights that we were staying in the hotel and had an enjoyable meal on both nights. It gets very busy, so early booking is essential. Unfortunately the booking made on the first night at Reception was not transmitted to the restaurant but they managed to accommodate us slightly later so we had a drink at the bar first. The staff and very helpful and approachable. We mixed-and-matched between the a la carte menu and the chef's specials. I had the fishcakes to start on the first night, followed by venison, and then we had a sharing platter on the second, followed by lamb. The portion sizes...

We have stayed at Knights Hill Hotel multiple times and have always enjoyed our meals at the Garden Restaurant. However, during our recent visits with friends, we encountered some issues. On the first night, we had to send back a tough and inedible chorizo starter and a lamb main that was too rare, tough, and gristly. It seemed like others also had issues with the lamb, and the restaurant supervisor apologized for the subpar dishes. The following night, the restaurant staff did not have our names on the seating list, but we were eventually seated. Unfortunately, the service was slow, possibly due to a large group arriving for their pre-set meal. The staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized,...

We ate at Garden Brasserie on the final night of our holiday in Norfolk. The restaurant is at the back of the Knights Hill hotel in a small section with views on to the garden. The decor is a little bit dated however it does feel like quite a traditional restaurant so in some ways suits its character. We were shown to our table by attentive staff who looked after us well during our meal. We were offered bread once we had ordered which was a nice touch, the number of restaurants that offer complimentary nibbles or bread is sadly very few and far between now. To start I had the mussels which were lovely, huge juicy mussels in a pot of rich white wine and garlic sauce. The mussels were a little... Ver carta
