The Orangery At The Danesfield House

We most certainly will be back again! The afternoon tea was very good and the service makes it extra special!

We had a delicious 3-course meal at this restaurant. For starters, we enjoyed Chicken and Shiitake Mushroom terrine with Parma Ham and veloute cauliflower. Our main courses of Pork Belly, Cavolo Nero, and Apple Crumble with Apple Sauce were excellent. The French wine we chose was full-bodied and tasty. We ended the meal with a cheese board and passion fruit cheesecake, both of which were very good.

I reserved a table at this hotel for afternoon tea with my daughter and sister, and we had an excellent time. We received plenty of attention, with endless tea and sandwiches provided. The service was good and the price was reasonable compared to other hotels that offer afternoon tea. We even got to take home some of the cakes for our partners since we couldn't finish them all!

I had lunch at this restaurant during the week and then at the nearby Cliveden Hotel the following day (they are only half an hour apart). The set lunch prices were very similar at both places (here it is £30 for 2 courses and £35 for 3 courses, while at Cliveden it is £33 for 3 courses), but the quality of ingredients and taste was much better at Cliveden. At this restaurant, we had chorizo sausages and mash but found the chorizo sausages to be too strong to eat on their own. The turbot main was better, but the portion size was surprisingly small (Cliveden's fish main was double the size). The restaurant has lovely gardens and a great terrace with a nice outlook. There seemed to be a strong focus on weddings, with wedding planners enjoying a complimentary meal with champagne and excited couples being shown around with a loud commentary while we ate. The service was good, but overall, we would not return for a meal. However, given the beautiful house and grounds, we would be happy to consider returning for afternoon tea if in the area.

We dined here following a lovely Spa morning. The package included 2 courses each. We both had fish and chips which was delicious! So nice to have homemade chips. Most places just use ready bought. I had the tarte tatin which was delicious and my friend had the rice pudding which was too rich for her. Service was good and we enjoyed some Prosescco overlooking the lovely gardens. Would recommend!
