"Two main courses came with sauces but they were both scant. The ravioli was dried out on the top as though it had been sitting under the heater. I had asked for the aioli to be kept from the starter and this was needed for the chicken dish which also was lacking in sauce although it was tasty and the vegetables cooked how I like them. The burger was average. The desserts looked stylish but surprised that the caremelised pineapple was served cold as had expected it to be freshly cooked and therefore hot. Quite expensive for what was served. Definitely felt like a restaurant for captive overnight diners rather than a restaurant to visit."

Was a tasty meal. Friendly and helpful staff. Just maybe would have been nice to have been asked how our meal was like most restaurants do. Would definitely visit again.

The meal was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. It would have been nice if they had asked us how our meals were, like most restaurants do. I will definitely come back again.

I took my mum for her birthday and the service was fantastic. They made her feel very special and gave an extra glass of prosecco and chocolate chocolates for her birthday. The food was really lovely too. Would definitely recommend, staff were so attentive.

The food was delicious, but the main course would have been better if it was served hotter. I was hesitant to send it back as I had already started eating and didn't want my partner to see me do so. The cheesecake was delicious, but the portion size was disappointing for the price. The service was excellent.

The food was tasty but the main meal would have been nicer if it was hotter, I could have sent it back but had started eating and did not want my partner to end up watching me eat, it should have been hotter when it was first brought out. The cheesecake was very nice but there was not enough of it for the price. The service was very good.

overpriced and bad service. after looking at the menu price list I ordered what I thought was one of the cheaper options, but after 10% the bill was added my salad ended cost over £17. that was quite much too expensive. service was very bad, despite the restaurants quite quiet, the drink that I ordered with my meal, came an outstanding 25 minutes after I ordered it. I asked my bill about eating my main course. when I'm back in this opposite, I won't eat in this restaurant. there are better ways to get close.

Overpriced and poor service. After looking at the menu priced I ordered what I thought was one of the cheaper options, but after 10% had been added to the bill my Salad ended up costing over £17. Vastly overpriced for what it was. Service was very poor, despite the restaurant being fairly quiet the drink I ordered with my meal came a staggering 25 mins after I ordered it. Roughly at the time I was requesting my bill after eating my main course. If I am in this area again I will not eat at this restaurant. There are better options nearby.

two main courses came with sauces, but they were both scanned. the ravioli was dried up as if it was sitting under the heating. I had asked that the aioli be kept from the starter, and this was for the chicken dish that was also missing in the sauce, although it was delicious and cooked the nice as I like it. the burger was on average. the desserts looked stylish, but surprised that the easy-care pineapple was served cold, as it had expected to be freshly cooked and therefore hot. very expensive for what was served. destined felt like a restaurant for captive overnight, instead of visiting a restaurant.

"We go to Gravetye 3 or 4 times a year if we can and have been going for many many years over the tenures of several owners. It 's always a complete joy, and the current owner has done a fabulous job of getting the right people in, both inside and out. Tom Coward, the Head Gardener (ex. Dixter) has a vision and a long term plan that make continual visits over an extended period a joy every time we visit we are surprised by the continual changes we learn so much and the garden staff are super helpful and willing to discuss what they 're up to and why. The amazing oval massive kitchen garden that supplies the hotel is a source of wonderment and not to be missed. A visual and culinary feast. We 've never stayed there as we live reasonably close, but have eaten in both the old and new dining rooms many times. The new dining room sits harmoniously between the wings of the manor and although a very modern glass and steel construction, the inclusion of a fabulous antique (and uneven) parquet floor (ex. some french chateau) softens the feel and acoustics, making the room almost intimate. The floor to ceiling windows bring you right into the garden, even in the foulest of weather it 's a triumph of design. Then there 's the food. Apart from the presentation, which is exquisite, the flavours and textures always bring a broad grin, however grumpy I am! This is absolutely first rate British cuisine; the kitchen under Head Chef George Blogg is to be commended, as are the garden staff producing the freshest of produce. I occasionally try to photograph the plates, but invariably find I 've forgotten that rather crass move and have just launched in! Must also mention the front of house staff. Perfectly presented and mannered, they know exactly the boundary between staff and guest and make you feel completely comfortable and relaxed there is nothing stuffy or obsequious about Gravetye everything is pitched just spot on and nothing is too much trouble. We were there today for a birthday treat, but will be back again soon for a post family wedding get together. Cannot recommend too highly just an excellent few hours, whatever the weather. Walkability: Lots of paths. The lower areas are easy for those with limited mobility, however it might be tricky to get up to the kitchen garden if you 're not great on your feet. Food drinks: See my review."
