The Cavendish - Menu

We ordered three courses, which was enough for me but not for my husband, who has a larger appetite. We started with the delicious ham hock and crab, and for mains we had the pork belly. The cheese and biscuits provided a good selection. If you have a bigger appetite, be sure to order some sides - the minted potatoes were especially tasty.

The restaurant is situated in a lovely country hotel with a picturesque view. The host who escorted us to our table was friendly and engaging. Though the menu was limited, the food was delicious. Unfortunately, the service was lacking, and the waitstaff seemed a bit indifferent (please smile). We waited for an hour for our main courses with no explanation other than "I will check." We decided to leave before dessert. Despite the issues, we might consider returning in the future.

Wasn't sure what to expect as the reviews where mixed but I was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by Tom who was our waiter for the evening shown into the Cavendish restaurant given an option of tables. He was very polite helpful....After 2 courses I commented jokingly that my choices had not come with a reveal (a lid) and I was waiting for my dah dah moment. Tom arranged for Bennie, who was the bartender to come to our table perform some magic so I wasn't too disappointed. Which was lovely. We then went to the bar and conversed with Bennie before heading outside to take in the air observe the stunning view. We bumped into Will who was ensuring the outside smoking area were clean and tid...

This is the best food we have tasted for some time. We stayed overnight on Friday and booked a table at The Cavendish. As overnight guests I had the included set menu, and my wife ordered from the a la carte. The ham hock was...delicious (and a good portion, unlike what other reviewers have said). The pork was cooked in an Asian style, again superb. Both courses were just a totally different taste sensation. Dessert, again, was mouth-watering. This is Masterchef quality, and to those that have commented on portion sizes we did not agree. If you want a plate piled high with food, go elsewhere this is about a fantastic chef creating incredible flavours and artwork on the plate. I noted the set...

a total bad meal from beginning to end. only 4 net parts, one of which was out in the evening. Also missing the choice of appetizers, I went for the crab that was fresh still drowning in a strange, astringent green oil. for the venison main and received about a mouthful part of the flesh each. the accompanying sides were tasteless and without a spicy. our beers were served warm, we had to get up again and again to get our wein from the ice cup at the side of the room, as no personal was present. no problem, but just stick it on our table if they don't want to pour it! Once each bottle ran empty, we had to wait until a worker occurs and ask to open another, a savvy restaurant manager might ha...

My review is slightly bias as we were guests of the hotel. My wife and friends had a disastrous afternoon tea experience and the hotel wanted to “right” the situation and that they did. Would I we go back and pay full price for the...food and service absolutely. The food was absolutely 100% and first class. Starters of Fois Gras, crab and ham hock all were hits. The quality and presentation was exemplary. We then had 2 fillet steaks, halibut and a cod, with extra sides and again the presentation was amazing and the food was sublime. Desert options, we asked the waiter regarding cheese selections and he brought out Perry the Chef who gave us a cheese board for 3 that probably was the best eve...

I have dined at this restaurant twice before and really enjoyed the food and service, but my experience last night was completely different! It was obvious when we arrived that there was a private event happening, but we were seated in an empty dining room. Water was served, but the server did not even ask if we wanted any drinks. The menu selection was okay, but it took at least 20 minutes before our order was taken and once again, we were not asked about drinks. I requested a glass of sparkling rose wine and my partner asked for a non-alcoholic beer, to which the server replied that they were not sure if they had that. Around 10-15 minutes later, the beer arrived for my partner, but there...

The Manor is beautiful! Like something out of a fairy tale, I would be back to spend a night as we only visited for Dinner. We ordered from the set menu. The bread for the table was wonderful, the bread was light, no large air...pockets visible, the crust was well seasoned and crisp. The butter had a sprinkle of salt and was annoyingly like many restaurants, hard, which tore the bread. Between a part of 8 we had around 2 pieces of bread. I ordered the Ham Hock croquette, which was wonderful, but extremely small. Other guests ordered the goats cheese, which was a mere mouthful. Mains, i ordered the venison belly, which was around an inch thick and rolled into a circle, about the size of a tea...

Living locally this isn't somewhere I've thought about coming before despite having visited and stayed at the hotel several times before as a guest for functions. It's now definitely on the list of restaurants I'll be visiting again. I came here with two friends just...for an evening out. Our waiter, Tom, knew who we were when we arrived (having looked at the bookings) and sat us at our table. The restaurant itself it very well maintained, tastefully decorated and has fantastic views over London. It was quiet when we visited, but not so that it made you uncomfortable as there was background music being played. We all ordered from the set menu. I enjoyed the pork cheek with lentils to start a...
