"We booked to stay at Crouchers hotel purely because we wanted to eat at the Potager’s restaurant. We were advised about the Xmas parties and the mission until late at the hotel which we fine with. We didn’t however understand how much this would affect the rest of our stay. On our first night we went to the bar for a drink. On the website the hotel advertises a happy hour when we went to the bar we were told that this was not available and the hotel only had a limited cocktail list and we could only have a table in the bar for an hour because of the parties. Given that we had planned our evening round this, it was very disappointing. On our second day at the hotel after leaving breakfast we were asked to give our dinner choices. We were very surprised by this. When querying this with the hotel we were told that the Al a carte menu was not available for us and we were limited to the Xmas menu. If we’d known this on booking we would not have chosen to stay at the hotel. We decided to cancel our booking with the restaurant as the Xmas menu was rather uninspiring and not at all what we thought we were getting upon booking. Given this is the first time my husband and I have managed to have some time away in 2.5 years, I am very upset at this. Upon explaining to reception staff they frankly didn’t care a less. I guess Xmas parties are more important to them than their hotel guests. I would never normally write a negative review but was very disappointed with our experience at Crouchers and it has motivated me to do it on this occasion. We paid to stay in the best room in the hotel but despite this the hot water ran out and my husband had to have a cold shower. Again upon reporting this reception showed very little interest. If you are looking for a special dinner and hotel stay I would not recommend Crouchers or the Potagers!"

This restaurant sets very high standards for both service and food quality. We have been here for Sunday roast two weeks in a row and each time it has been excellent. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the food is delicious. In our opinion, it is the best Sunday roast in the area. We loved the spacious table with great ventilation, and even though it was crowded, the background noise levels were just right. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

The service at this restaurant remains excellent, however, the food was very disappointing. The starters were bland, with the salmon mousse being dense and unseasoned, the pork dumplings unseasoned and wrapped in chewy dough, and the overcooked chicken wings. The butternut soup was just okay. The mains were slightly better, but the parsnip and pear risotto was a miss. The desserts were also underwhelming, with the over-fried filo pastry being a disaster. It felt like we were in a real-life "Faulty Towers" dining experience. A memorable family meal that we will be talking about for years to come.

Patchy experience here: we booked for a special celebration meal, based on reviews. The menu was too limited, and a dish three of us wanted sold out. Starters were good, but main meals disappointing. Roast pork was dry; fish dish had chilli in that wasn't mentioned on the menu; pasta ragu serving was small. Worst thing though was a screaming toddler in the room whose parents allowed him to screech at top of his lungs for about half an hour staff and manager in the restaurant were completely uninterested in doing anything about it. Apart from that, the place has a nice ambience, but the food overall did not live up to the hype. Might be OK for a lunch, but not a special meal.

This hotel and restaurant are fantastic. The food is of really good quality, the ambience is great, and the staff is attentive. The menu has a good variety of choices and the prices are excellent value for money. The grounds and views are beautiful, and I can't wait to return in the summer to sit on the terraces and watch the sunset. My mum uses a wheelchair and we found the restaurant to be very accessible with plenty of space and great facilities. A big thank you to the team! We also attended a flower arranging and afternoon tea workshop which was well organized and very enjoyable. I highly recommend the afternoon tea, as there were many other people in the restaurant enjoying the deliciou...
