The Courtyard Restaurant And Bar

This was my first visit here this week. A stunning venue, beautifully decorated with lovely gardens. Quite a few rooms where I was stopping which were nice and comfortable. The food was superb, I went for the marinated pork steak which was outstanding. Nice and tender and full of favour. Great home cooked chips as well. The food was very reasonably priced for the quality. Will definitely try it again if in the area.

The food was absolutely superb. The veggie options were really tasty and beautifully presented. I’m told the carnivore versions were equally brilliant – especially the sausage rolls. The cakes and pastries were out of this world. The lemon and chocolate cakes were particularly excellent. The service – as ever – was friendly, helpful and speedy. All in all, another great time at The Courtyard. We’ve already booked our next visit.

My wife and I stopped by the Courtyard for lunch and enjoyed a delicious meal. She ordered the Ploughman's and I had the ham, egg, and chips, both of which were excellent. We couldn't find any faults with our meals! We decided to splurge on the strawberry cheesecake for dessert, which was absolutely divine. The waitress was very attentive and provided excellent service. We are planning to return this week to try some other dishes on the menu.

I rarely write a review but I felt that I needed to express how good we found both the meal and service at the Stanwick Hotel restaurant. We had an absolutely fabulous meal, first class service and pleasant staff. One of our group has a complicated array of allergies, but nothing was too much trouble. Two of us had fish and chips followed by a gin and pistachio trifle...gorgeous, one of the best I've tasted and I'm a trifle connoisseur! Would definitely go back, massive compliments to the chef and thank you to the staff.

We went for lunch and found it to be a charming spot to enjoy a meal while overlooking the gardens. We both ordered the broccoli and stilton soup, which was one of the tastiest soups we've had in a while. For our main courses, one of us had the perfectly cooked rib eye steak, which was exactly how we wanted it. Everything was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the belly pork, and while everything on the plate was tasty, I was disappointed that it was served without any jus or sauce, making the dish dry and less enjoyable for me.

Truly one of the best meals we have had out (and as this was our 41st Wedding Anniversary, we've had a few! Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked and beautifully served. Generous portions without being too much, ample time for us to enjoy our meal without every feeling hassled. However, neither did we every feel abandoned ether, Ruby, our waitress managed to get that perfect balance of being friendly and professional and was at all times attentive without being intrusive. The choux bun with raspberry and white chocolate is bursting with flavour and I shall be dreaming about it for a while to come!

I went for afternoon tea and I must admit that I was extremely disappointed. The quality of the ingredients was cheap and unsatisfactory. We were given only one scone to share between two people, which was overly doughy and unappetizing. Additionally, there were only two tiny mince pies, two slices of chewy malt loaf, and two dry slices of bread served. The clotted cream lacked flavor and the sandwich selection, which included tuna, cheese and chutney, and ham and mustard, was lackluster. We waited a long time for our food to arrive, as there was a Christmas party taking place. In fact, we had already finished our tea and coffee before the food finally made its appearance. The service was su...

Having had a meal in ‘The Courtyard Restaurant’ a couple of weeks ago which was absolutely faultless and delicious. We decided to rebook and have a meal tonight.. what a disappointment! We ordered fish and chips and the ham,mushroom and spinach carbonara. The fish and chips were passable but very small portion of fish. The carbonara was not right.....there was no cream sauce, the spinach was raw and the mushrooms were distinctly under cooked. The dish was sent back and represented with a small pot of sauce. What the kitchen failed to do was keep the dish warm, so represented dish was cold, albeit with a pot of sauce, but not edible. So disappointing. I am wondering if there are different che...

We have been reasonably frequent visitors to the Stanwick Hotel, meals, Murder Mystery Nights and several overnights but will not be visiting again. Today is my daughter’s birthday and her Wedding Anniversary. I booked Afternoon Tea for 6. My husband and I, my daughter, her husband and two young children. The first thing to strike me was that no attempt was made to direct us to the Track and Trace code on the wall and neither was any attempt made to offer us forms for Track and Trace. When we arrived it was plain to see that three tables for 6 were taken over for what looked like a Wedding Anniversary. There were 18 people who were clearly together. They spent the whole time moving from tabl...
