"When we moved to the area in early 2020, one of our neighbours told us that Bentleys was his favourite places for a Sunday carvery. Then came Covid and lockdowns, so that we have only now been able to try it out, since its reopening last month. We were very much looking forward to it and, whilst it was OK, it was a little disappointing. Firstly the complimentary hors d’oeuvres. One small rectangular plate was presented to us, but whilst the quantity of what was on there was fine for two, the actual components on it were one chicken skewer, one spring roll and two small, but different, tarts, meaning that, other than the olives and feta, everything had to be cut in half to enable us each to sample everything! The carvery itself was neither the best that I have ever had, but nor was it the worst. I was impressed that the beef was cooked as beef should be, and not cremated, and commented as much to the chef. As this was unusual for a carvery both my wife and I went for it plus some turkey. I have to say that the turkey was very nice, but the beef was rather chewy. Vegetables were OK; I thought that the roast potatoes could have been a bit crispier and the Yorkshire was pretty rock solid. For dessert, my wife chose the lemon meringue which, I think was a good choice, because I went for rhubarb crumble and custard and found the crumble topping to be almost as solid as a pie crust. I'm afraid that it is unlikely that we will be rushing back."

We had a great night with our group of friends at this restaurant. The food was delicious as always, the DJ was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. We found that the Christmas party nights were much better than the Tribute nights.

Pleasant and comfortable accommodation,excellent food and helpful,attentive waiters. Good carvery selection nicely prepared and presented. Very enjoyable experience all round. (Visit was part of party of 19) Background music (not live) not particularly fitting for a quiet mealtime affording comfortable conversation. Car parking facilities are good.

Bentleys is a stunning restaurant with beautiful decor and setting. We recently went for a festive meal and were disappointed to find that it was a carvery. Despite being decorated for Christmas, there was no atmosphere and we were looking forward to being waited on and having more food options. Something felt off, and even though there was a piano, there was no piano player, which would have enhanced the dining experience. Honestly, aside from the lovely surroundings, it felt like we could have just gone to a Toby carvery.

We booked to attend a party at Bentley’s Restaurant, Dudsbury Golf Club, paying fully £45 each) 6 weeks in advance of the event. As we are extremely vulnerable, health-wise, we decided to cancel this booking 5 days before the date of the party, motivated by the growing Covid emergency. Bentley’s rejected our request for a refund, either in part or complete, siting grounds based on ‘clause 3’. Given the rapid escalation of this pandemic wave, we feel that this decision is wholly avaricious and totally lacking moral largess. Their culinary and hospitality offering may well be excellent though from reading other reviews, maybe not), but we’ll never know

The music started playing, but abruptly stopped halfway through with no explanation given, despite it only being 10:30 p.m. The evening was supposed to end at 12 p.m. so we were left confused and inquiring about what was happening. When we asked a waitress, she simply said that the evening was over. We were not offered any further explanation or a drink in the bar, as the event was cut short. It felt like a Valentine's Day disaster, reminiscent of a scenario from the TV show "Fawlty Towers". Our group of four had been eager to try Bentleys, but after this experience, we cannot recommend it. It seems that the positive reviews may be from regular customers, as this was one of the worst evening...
