Cavendish - Menu

I don't work for this hotel nor the company running it but do know something about hotels in general. Everything about the hotel is fantastic, particularly the staff, accommodation and food

The food was great, up to the highest standards, but rather pricey, hence only four stars. Service was a tad slow, but the food was worth the wait. Nice to have proper starched tablecloths too! Recommended if you are not on a budget.

Not eaten/ stayed for a while. Lovely country hotel and today we revisited for Sunday Lunch. The best! In the evenings the main restaurant is far too exotic for my tastes, however Sunday lunch features normal fayre- delicious roast beef, glorious beetroot soup, excellent deserts. All accompanied by glorious views over the Chatsworth Estate.

We visited here Sunday afternoon with family ,we had warm scones with clotted cream and jam. The place is amazing ,very old worlde ,the service is great and the staff are brilliant ,they can't do enough for you . We have also stayed here before and had a great time ,so if you want to sample a little bit of quality give it a try ,you won't be disappointed

The food here was wonderful . I started with artichoke cappuccino with tempura skate wow it was wonderful . Probably the best soup I have ever tasted . Then I had venison with gnocchi. Outstanding . The apple tarte had a whole baked apple in the middle which was a surprise but it paid off . My husbands dairy intolerance was handled well and we both had a great time .

This event was a birthday treat from my wife and what a treat there was afternoon cream tea with champagne in front of an open fire a four poster bedroom which was luxury itself and the evening meal was very very tasty and not overfacing. The easygoing breakfast that followed meant an absolutely wonderful time was had by the pair of us. A huge thank you to all the staff at the hotel who were all so friendly and attentive,

This was my second visit to the Cavendish but my first chance to sample their afternoon tea. On our first visit we had been told there was no need to book but on arrival the hotel was heaving and we were informed that we could not be served for almost 2 hours. We did not stay and I contacted management to inform them of this issue. All due credit to them- I received an apology and complimentary afternoon tea. So today having ensured we had booked we arrived and enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea in a beautiful setting. There was a selection of open sandwiches, 3 cakes each, a scone with jam and cream and a delicious lemon posset. Compliments to the chef! A choice of numerous types of tea or c...

Well, it's Christmas, and my annual treat for my hard working, hard done to, hard to please at times, lovely Wife. It's the Friday before Christmas and as we arrive by taxi we are greeted at the door and welcomed by our name, nice touch, not sure how they knew it was us? Lovely pre dinner drinks and fab olives. Our meal was good. But, let's get something straight here. The gallery restaurant is more than just the food. I read and understand some previous comments on trip advisor. Purely on food, it's never going to score 100%. BUT, if you want fabulous service in stunning surroundings with food that is perfectly acceptable then it hits the spot. It is an experience. Our meal was good, scallo...

Once a year, we go out with two of our friends for a special meal to celebrate Christmas. This year, we picked The Cavendish, based on its reputation as a high-end restaurant, with fine dining, relaxed but top-notch service, elegant furnishings and a superb position. All of the things we expected were there in abundance: the service; the furnishings and the position (what a view! but the food! I cannot grumble about the food quality. Whilst not fine dining, it was good. The menu was varied and we had a choice of the normal menu and also the Christmas Fayre menu, or a combination of the two. Our starters ranged from scallops to crab, to chestnut soup. All were fine and the portions reasonable...
