Lascelles At Parsonage Country House

Lovely atmosphere in old house and good table for our dozen wine friends reunion. Vaired menu all cooked as requested and well presented and served. The drink went down well to.

Fairly pricey for an 8oz steak with a few chips, a tomato and a few lettuce leaves croutons (no mushrooms, onion rings, sauces, etc). Decent enough food but nothing special. Good service though.

Booked afternoon tea here. Not that impressed. Cakes were dry and the scones were hard. Leaky teapot so water spillage. Really quiet. Should play a bit of music. Lacking atmosphere. Really disappointed with this aspect of our stay.

Although the quality of the food was of a high standard my wife was disappointed at the meagre portion of fish she was served at dinner. I would recommend that guests use the Fat Abbott restaurant in preference to the Lascelles. Also prices are more reasonable for both food and drinks

Part of a special offer of 2 nights and 1 evening meal in Lascelled. The meal did not disappoint. Juniper smoked duck breast to start, steak for me cooked as I like it and garlic chicken for the wife. We both had the fried potatoes with the pancetta, lovely. A very chocolate desert for my wife which she loved and cheese and biscuits for me. Homemade biscuits a nice touch. Lovely comfortable restaurant and excellent staff. Highly recommend.

We came on a superbreak package and the hotel was great but the food took our stay to another level. The staff we so friendly and efficient and nothing was too much trouble. The ambience in the restaurant is luxury and finesse and the food matches it. The pork was so tasty and the cider cream sauce added to the dish. The Caesar salad starter was also very tasty and both courses just the right amount. Perfect in every way, great for a special occasion.

We stayed at the Parsonage hotel for 2 nights and had breakfast in the restaurant both mornings .Very nicely set out and staff very attentive. Tea and coffee brought to the table....really good choice of hot food and good quality, the bacon was thick and lean. There was also a menu to order...I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs both mornings as it was that good. Fresh fruit, yogurt, excellent muffins and plenty more. One of the best hotel breakfast’s I have had.

This restaurant very much has that old fashioned English hotel breakfast room/restaurant feel and so is pretty much scoring a zero on atmosphere. That said, the building itself and grounds do have a real old English charm, somewhat diminished by the busy A19 road at the end of the drive. As for the food, it was ok. Pleasant enough, the presentation was better than the quality of the dishes. But certainly nothing special and nothing I'll be actively seeking to experience again.

Stayed in the hotel for the evening and on arrival told restaurant was fully booked. Was very disappointed but later that day asked again if they could squeeze us in and they did. Now here is the funny part on arrival there was only 5 tables all night. The restaurant had another 20 empty. Back to the food, it was very good. I had venison carpaccio that was stunning. Then rabbit which was nice too. We finished with the cheese platter which was amazing. Service was okay and friendly but certainly needs improving in its approach to guests. Although all staff were very pleasant.
