"Have been dining at the Road Hole for many years now, always at Christmas time, and it has always been a 5 star experience. This time was no different, every course cooked to perfection, plated perfectly and totally delicious. But from previous years it makes me a little sad to see the menu become somewhat downgraded and limited. It seems to be trending towards being just a grill restaurant for main course, the options were steak, steak, steak, venison, cauliflower steak, or halibut. Not being a steak/red meat fan, that leaves just one choice for me. As luck would have it, a great choice that suits me well, but still. In my opinion, the chef and team there are so talented that they're wasted just turning out steaks. The scallops starter and apple millefuille dessert prove that. What's happened to the days of the 7 course taster menu? Hopefully this steak focus is simply a Covid necessity and the menu will expand again soon. The price is certainly still at fine dining levels. But with the Swilkin loft next door (where we haven't been) offering more variety I really hope the vision here isn't to lose fine dining and have the Road Hole become an expensive Sands grill in essence as I said, it has been a masterclass in fine dining for so long that would be a real shame. One other slight wrong note no dessert wine available on the day (from only one menu option by the glass) and the port ordered as a replacement had also ran out. Not a disaster but again, hoping that isn't indicative of a move away from a proper fine dining experience. However, to come back the meal itself was truly superb, a great experience. Staff were excellent as always too."

We all loved the place! A friend had recommended the Sunday lunch which was an awesome deal for three delicious courses. A delightful atmosphere, excellent food, and outstanding service. One of the waitresses named Paris recommended wine to go with our food and made sure we were having our best time. View menu

Good food with a stunning view unfortunately let down by bad service. We had to wait over an hour between the starter and our main course and one member of our party was given the wrong main course. We didn’t end up staying for dessert. The staff explained that the kitchen is cooking for two restaurants, but if this is the case then they need to hire more chefs. Such a shame. Service: Dine in

Simply awesome. Great service and great food. Had the cod and it was so fresh. Wife loved it. I had the filet and it was a perfect medium rare. Wine was awesome and desert was to die for. This place has been our fav so far. Pretty upscale and awesome servers. I went to breakfast earlier and had the buffet and it was awesome. Stayed at the hotel and it is totally updated. Super nice and quiet..
