We have visited Crathorne Hall Hotel many times, usually for lunch and always enjoy the freshly cooked fare, served in the relaxed atmosphere of the beautiful dining room. Gloria always adds her own special touch when welcoming us to the table, and supervising the delivery of dishes in her own inimitable cheerful style. Not a huge selection on the lunchtime menu, but nearly always a fish dish and vegetarian option. Not the place to go if you are in a rush, as service is leisurely. Can thoroughly recommend the bream, and also the (very rich) creme brulee!

Over recent years, we have enjoyed many wonderful meals at Crathorne and our most recent was again delightful. The chef's introductory taster was an excellent cannoli filled with beetroot mouse. Our starters, squid and poached egg on black pudding were delicious. I had the ribeye. I like mine rare and so there is little room for error. The steak was delicious as was the peppercorn sauce; thinner than I have had at other restaurants but tasty and not overpowering the meat. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her sea bass. The desserts were tasty. As occurs in hotels up and down the land, there was a party in the adjoining dining room. It did not spoil the food our our time together. We will be back,

My wife and i took 2 friends to Sunday Lunch and had high expectations given the Hall's reputation. The starters were fine (2 Crayfish cocktails and 2 Pates) we all ordered the roast beef. What a disappointment! although the portions were generous, the beef was extremely tough. Because we were hungry, and did not want to make a complaint during the meal, we struggled through it. At the end of the meal the waitress noticed a lot left on our plates and asked if there was a problem, we told her the beef was far too tough and we were all very disappointed. She said she would tell the chef, but nothing was done. I felt embarrassed for our guests and asked for the bill, £91 for four 2 course meals...

We decided to have Sunday lunch out so booked a table at the Leven Restaurant at Craythorne Hall. The Hall itself is an elegant country house with good parking and is set in peaceful parkland. The Leven Restaurant is an airy oak panelled room with a high ceiling and large bay window. It is roomy and the tables are well laid out and not overcrowded. The Sunday lunch menu offers about four starters, four mains and three desserts. We both chose pate to start followed be roast Sirloin which is offered medium rare or well done. The medium rare was perfectly cooked, pink and juicy. This was accompanied by a large Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. A bowl of seasonal vegetables and a boat of gra...

We had been bought a voucher for this chain of hotels which was coming near to expiry so having had a lovely Sunday Lunch here a few years ago thought it would be lovely to go again. Started badly we ordered a Hendricks gin and slimline tonic a lime and soda and 2 of the black sheep brewery lagers. What we received was 2 soda waters a lager and lime and a Hendricks with normal tonic so essentially every drink was wrong was eventually rectified but not the best start. We were surprised to see they were serving topside but stated served pink so we ordered it . When it came it was a massive chunk of overcooked beef with zero fat or flavour it took some getting through to be honest. We ordered a...

We had high expectations of Crathorne Hall and were looking forward to a special treat of Friday evening dinner. The grounds and entrance are stunning, and create a real sense of anticipation as you walk on the red carpet into the building. We had pre dinner drinks in the lounge drawing room. A waitress knocked our candle over and spilled hot wax on the table and my handbag; not to worry, these things happen. My partner's vodka and coke came as vodka and lemonade; everyone makes mistakes. Waiter asked if that was spilled wax and told us not to worry he was sure he could clean it up later, as if we'd done it!! We went into the restaurant for dinner. A party taking place next door meant that i...
