"Interestingly, despite being an Italian restaurant, they did not offer any Italian beer, only Spanish and German options. Moving on to the main course, although the portions were small, the dish was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed butternut squash and goat cheese tortellini, which were generously stuffed with goat cheese and adorned with walnuts. On the other hand, I also tried the duck dish. While it was well-cooked and satisfying in quantity, I believe it would have benefited from being served warm and sliced. A sharper knife might have improved the presentation. Nonetheless, the duck itself was perfectly cooked. The food we had was truly delightful, showcasing high-quality ingredients. That said, I felt the menu was rather limited; it was quite concise with around 20 dishes total, from starters to desserts. In comparison, many other Italian restaurants offer extensive menus that tantalize the palate. Moreover, I found it somewhat presumptuous—and a bit annoying—that a 10% service charge was automatically added to the bill without prior notice. I typically prefer to leave a tip based on the service I received, and being compelled to pay an extra amount diminished the overall experience. While the service was good and I appreciate the efforts of the staff, I believe that tips should be a personal decision made by the diner rather than a forced obligation. Overall, the food was excellent, and I may return, but I hope for a few improvements next time."

"Today a few colleagues and I attended Stanmer for the second time on a complimentary lunch as our work Christmas party was so awful. I wish we hadn’t. Christmas party (main points or we will be here all day... shocking service no waiting staff long wait for pre ordered food from set menu, between starter and dinner 1.5 hours and dinner and dessert another 1.5. drinks order never arrived bar had to bring it missing veg from mains including potatoes awful desserts some big some small some over cooked some not cooked at all. drinks bill given when not even finished awful DJ rude bar staff This resulted in us not paying on the night and Stanmer giving us a complimentary lunch. Today’s lunch (only 4 staff came the others didn’t want to waste their time very poor service, was not asked if food was ok, not asked if we wanted more drinks, things being dropped and spilt all over the place. cold food blue beef when told would be medium rare table next to us complained also. staff running round like headless chickens much like the Xmas party. In the end we were sick of waiting for our drinks bill, walked out and paid at the bar. I can safely say I shall not be returning, I shall not be having my wedding reception here and I will never ever recommend this place. What a waste of money doing it up, to have a poor reputation. As a local person and business owner I am thoroughly disappointed and can recommend much better places for you to spend your hard earnt cash. I feel sorry for the woman getting married here next week, good luck to her and I hope we gave her enough warning to make sure the team have correct staffing levels and skills before the big day... they can’t even cope with a Sunday roast."
