    Wonderful view if Leeds Castle is the main draw. A bit pricey for us, so only had main, which was lovely

    My view was of the swinging kitchen doors which the staff kicked every time they entered the kitchen. No Castle view! And when my wife spilled a water, two staff watched and chatted as she cleaned it up on the floor.

    Wonderful setting with views of the castle, staff were helpful and engaged well. The food was amazing and very high quality, freshly cooked and a reasonable price! We honestly thought we were at a 5* restaurant. We could not fault any aspect of our visit and would highly recommend anyone to visit the restaurant, they will not be disappointed!

    Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Food was very good had the goats cheese starter followed by the roast pork belly my wife had the same starter with duck to follow, all were very well presented and very tasty. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon. It was our 50th wedding anniversary and at the end of the meal a slate platter with chocolates and fruit and decorated with chocolate was given to us. Very thoughtful.

    Lovely food with an amazing view - but be prepared to pay a bit more for it. Makes every meal feel like a special occasion while still remaining relaxed.

    I needed to make a late booking change to add a person, I was able to do this without a problem. We had a warm welcome and Megan was fantastic throughout the evening, she kept an eye on the table and we were never left wanting. Thank you to Megan and the team, it was a great finish to Mothers Day for my Wife.
