Restaurants near Goodnestone Park

Staff were very friendly and lovely. The food took a very very long time to arrive - there were only a few tables in the restaurant as a Monday morning. We had no starters just main and dessert and we were there from 1.30-4.30. We were happy to chat but strange how long it took. Food was very good and we enjoyed it. Staff kindly did a birthday Happy Birthday plate for our friend. Of course as with all restaurants now it felt expensive. 3 people and with voluntary tip was £180 (this included one glass of wine and 5 pints) With these kind of prices expectations are high. It was good but not exceptional as price would suggest.

Very engaging staff, lovely food 5* all round excellent experience

Fantastic food and friendly service. We stayed the night in very comfortable rooms a day breakfast was also excellent.

We arrived on time, had a very warm welcome, our coats were taken care of and we were shown to a lovely table, which had been set with a white table cloth, a white starched napkin, fresh flowers and a candle - a great start to an evening out. Our server was great at looking after us, she was engaging in short and friendly conversation, she was very much on the ball at checking in that we had everything we wanted and making sure that we were happy with each course. We had ordered the seafood and fish papardelle starter, which was very tasty but it had a lot of cheese on it that had not been mentioned at all in the menu description. We would have preferred to know that. As a main course, we had ordered Steamed Turbot with Citrus Fruits, Olive Oil and White Asparagus, it was a delicious, well-balanced and original combination. The other main course was a Grilled Pork Chop with Chick Peas, Aioli & Turnip Tops, which was a very unusual dish but very much enjoyed for its rich flavour combinations and the most beautifully grilled pork, which was delicious and tender, as well as attractive on the plate. For dessert, we had opted for the Sherry Trifle with Rhubarb and the Vanilla Pannacotta with Blood Orange & Grappa. The pannacotta was one of the best I have ever had for flavour. The trifle could have benefited from more rhubarb. The Chardonnay (Campo Fiorito) served with the pork chop was a great choice, perfectly chilled. The music played might not be to everybody’s taste for a dining experience. Overall, the service was excellent, the food was delicious, we had a very enjoyable evening and will book again. Thanks to the whole team.

Excellent food and good choice of beers. The staff were lovely and overall a fantastic dining experience 👌
