Ockenden Manor Hotel & Spa - The Restaurant

The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. This restaurant is definitely one of our favorites and we hope to come back more often!

Beautiful treats for my mother's day airy rooms with patio doors open for garden and view over south-downs. Food was excellent and service very attentive.

The food was ok, but the restaurant needs updating, carpets were stained and everything looked tired overall. We found that prices do not match the entire ambience.

We had a great table and the view was lovely. Staff very attentive and excellent food beautifully presented. Great value for money ! Definitely on the tables for a return

The dining experience at this restaurant is extremely refined. The staff is attentive and the food is expertly prepared. The charming wood-panelled dining room and cozy sitting room for drinks add to the overall ambiance. This is the perfect place for a special occasion.

The staff was very friendly and friendly. Each course had three choices, unfortunately all not suitable if you are lactose intolerant. Our side order of Courgettes was more like a ratatouille. Two courses, one bottle of water and three glasses of champagne £200. Not the cheapest places, but would still be back.

It is disappointing that despite the great food, the restaurant falls short in terms of atmosphere. The ambiance is lacking, with a silent dining room that lacks warmth. While the staff is polite, their service feels transactional and lacks hospitality. There is a lack of leadership evident, which hinders the overall experience.

A full review is needed to address these shortcomings and improve the restaurant's performance, as it is likely not meeting its financial goals.

Easy experience in a beautiful room with attentive staff. The salmon starter for lunch was good, but the black pudding was excellent: balanced, rich flavors and textures, all very cleverly presented. The vegetables with the nets were particularly well thought out and executed the venison and ox cheek superb, delicate with a real depth of taste. The main cod was bright and the warm vegetarian option of beet with green and a goat cheese mousse with roasted almonds was a special pleasure. Very good chocolate cake with stuffed pears, ice cream on a crumb. This was a great combination of aromas and textures, although my preference would have been for more of a goose than a mousse consistency. The...

Delightful experience in a lovely space with attentive staff. The salmon starter for lunch was good but the black pudding was excellent: balanced, rich flavours and textures, all very skilfully presented. The vegetables with the mains were especially well thought out and executed the venison and ox cheek superb, tender with a real depth of flavour. The cod gratin main was luminous and the warm vegetarian option of the beetroot with greens and a goat cheese mousse with toasted almonds was a particular joy. Very good chocolate tart with stewed pear, ice cream on a crumb. This was a great combination of flavours and textures, though my preference would have been for more of a ganache than a mou...
