Best Western Chilworth Manor

My scallop starter was excellent. As good as I have ever had. Duck breast main was good. My wifes food was also very good.

The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming, and the food was of excellent quality considering the price we paid. I highly recommend this restaurant!

This is a stunning venue with beautiful grounds. The food was delightful and fresh. We enjoyed afternoon tea and highly recommend it. The staff were friendly and attentive, but not overly intrusive. View menu

The experience was really memorable for my partners 60th Birthday. The service was excellent and the staff could not do enough for us . Even though we were late . I would definitely recommend this place and the scones are to die for warm and soft which melt in your mouth

The buffet menu was quite limited once again. Diners could choose between salad or soup as a starter, and for the main course, there were options for beef, fish, or vegetarian pasta. However, there was only one type of potato available, and vegetables were only provided upon request. Additionally, there were no gluten-free dessert options.

Such a disappointment! Looks lovely on Instagram, sadly the staff were quite rude. The risotto is on the menu as (V) but they covered it in Parmesan and then argued with us about whether Parmesan is vegetarian (it’s made from small animal intestines). They moved us table 3 times when we arrived because we explained we didn’t want afternoon tea about 7 times, to then be told our drinks weren’t included in afternoon tea View menu

We had a really lovely time however the room we had afternoon tea in only had 2 other tables and when we walked in to be seated the other 2 tables were very quiet and just stared at us. It was a bit uncomfortable . Once sat down the other 2 tables remained very quiet so the room felt very stilted. We would have preferred our table out in the bar area where you could have conversation easy without feeling other tables just sat listening whole time. Once the other 2 tables had left we relaxed and had a lovely time though

I travelled up from Dorchester over an hour to meet a friend half way between the two of us. Visiting before, I had remembered a lovely restaurant with great food. We were asked what our booking was for and I said lunch but was told they don’t do lunches in the restaurant (despite a party of 10 or so being n there . I had booked online for 1.30 lunch (website says they do lunch in the restaurant daily. in the end we had to have a mediocre sandwich from the bar. They were very understaffed and we felt a bit of an inconvenience. No reply from a message I sent the next day. Very disappointed.

Dinner was excellent if a little slow, great value if you have the dinner bread and breakfast option as there are no surcharges for any of the dishes. My only hrip was that Breakfast was advertised open until 11am on sat and Sunday but at 1030 we went for breakfast and many items had run out from the buffet. when we asked if I here would be any more we were told that the kitchen stopped breakfast at 1030. The main reason for the complain is that if the breakfast was cooked to order as in some places and you wen down at 1030 the the food would be the same standard all through the service and in this case it wasn't.
