The Spread Eagle Hotel & Spa - The Restaurant

excellent eating. the personal was first-class and attentive, and the atmosphere was wonderful. highly recommended. they want to explore the hotel and the spa.

We stayed overnight and had a three course dinner in the evening. The food was lovely just wish we were giving the option to dine outside as it was so hot in the restaurant. We didn’t realise it was an option until we had finished our meal and headed outside.

A very disappointing experience. Went for afternoon tea with a friend to find we had crusts on our bread and scones that were inedible. They were solid hard on the outside and solid dough on the inside. The second lot of scones wa the same. Plus they objected to us sitting in the comfort of the dining room.

the restaurant was good and eating also acceptable. the sections were small, however. the garnels were small and there were only 3 without dressing in the starter. the baked with the tar was dry. the cheese with cheese and cookies was not very fresh. small portions and no great taste. there was no butter. prices were high, but it was post covid luredown

Unnecessarily money driven. I had arrived at the hotel at 9pm and booked 1 of 3 available rooms for the same night. Organiser had made a mistake. Never used the room. Next morning I had asked if I could cancel. The hotel had no cost, no work, no opportunity cost and not delivered any service. Hotel management declined the request. A shame as so unnecessary.

We were using a gift voucher and had pre-booked a table for two for Sunday lunch. We were warmly and professionally welcomed and seated immediately. The restaurant is fairly formal but there is a warm and welcoming ambience with tasteful Christmas decorations. We were given a nice table by the window. We chose from the 'a la carte ' menu and all courses were well cooked and nicely presented. Wine was wonderful. We were very well looked after and would certainly return.

The menu is not extensive but what they offer along with a few specials is lovely. We started with a mushroom macaroni cheese, delicious. My husband had the tomato soup which went down well. For the main course he had the chateau briand steak which was cooked to perfection. I had his tomato as he doesn't like them and added this to my twice baked soufflé, it added a whole new dimension to the already lovely flavour. Cheese and biscuits followed, sadly no crackers available. A truly lovely meal

We met up with my partner’s family for lunch. We were promptly served drinks in the bar lounge and given the days menus to order. All of us chose the salmon starter followed by pieces of cod for two of us, 3 chose the vegetarian risotto and we all had the Eaton mess for desert. The food was very good but such small portions particularly for the cod just 3 small battered pieces. The service was good but a bill of £70 (including drinks) for my partner and I while the rest of the family paid over £100 for the three of them is high for lunch particularly as the portions are so small. The restaurant is quirky with Christmas puddings hanging over the fire place. If the hotel is aiming for ostentat...

We tried the restaurant for our anniversary and weren’t disappointed. Despite some previous reviews that aren’t that great, we thought we’d try it and I can honestly say it was absolutely wonderful. The service is old school and excellent. We were extremely well looked after and we both thought the food was absolutely first class. It is a very old building and as such the decor and atmosphere is very ‘of its time’. It’s not modern and 21 century styled. It is sympathetic to its history which we loved. The gazpacho was delicious (no need for croutons and keep it really cold please) and the scallops, lamb and accompaniments were absolutely delicious. My husband had a fillet steak and he was ve...
