"A really disappointing visit. It started poorly when after just 5 minutes we had to ask to move tables as the air con unit we were sat under was dripping on to us and the table. The people on table opposite laughed and told us that 15 minutes beforehand another party had asked to move from the same table for exactly the same reason. Bemused why the front of house gave us this table when others were available and they knew there was an issue?? Service was poor. Waiter was very pleasant. We waited what seemed an eternity (best part of 1 hour) for starters with the waiter coming over voluntarily and apologising for the delay. Starters were good. Mains were a real let down. The 2 who had the red mullet were really disappointed and both said it was bland tasting. I had the chicken and whilst it was ok it wasn’t a very exciting or tasteful dish. Cheese board was good. Two other small points but things for the restaurant to pick up on. We ordered dessert wines. A young waiter came over and said “two white wines”? We said we had ordered dessert wines and he said “ I don’t know, maybe that’s what they are”. That’s really poor for a high end expensive restaurant. Final gripe was we paid a £40 deposit. When the bill came it hadn’t been deducted. Given we were told every booking had to pay a deposit for the themed evening this should never have happened and demonstrated a lack of attention to detail. Such a shame it was a really disappointing evening especially as we have had some great meals here before. Standards seemed to have slipped and we will avoid a themed night in the future."

Our first New Year’s Eve out for many years. So we were so happy everything went smoothly, from being greeted to wonderful service and food, nothing was too much trouble.

The Marquis never fails to disappoint! It is in such beautiful surroundings and the service is always excellent delicious food and lovely cocktails. David in particular made sure we had the best experience he really looks after you and he has such a friendly and warm manner and is so knowledgeable. 100% recommend and there are very exciting developments happening over the next few years!

Another phenomenal meal the the Marquis ! This is now the third time my partner and I have eaten at the Marquis….. Simply blown away, the service and food were impeccable…. So lovely to see a classy venue being consistently good this day in age. What a credit to the management and their team ! How this place does not have a Michelin star I do not know ! We will most definitely be back for more

A marvellous gastronomic experience at this well maintained and well run establishment . Great location with equally great views from the rear of the property. We indulged ourselves in the sharing steaks, which were of ample proportion and tasty with a large prawn accompaniment. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for a great experience, not just for the food, but also the attentive service. First class in all departments. Visualizza piatti

A most enjoyable place to stay and dine. The food is absolutely delightful especially the chateaubriand. The staff are positive and friendly, especially the management who went out of their way to see that we had an enjoyable stay after a rather very unpleasant experience at our previous accommodation. We enjoyed one dinners, a lunch and one breakfast and each time the food was of a very high standard, tasty, interesting and well presented. We certainly will be going back if we find ourselves in this neck of the woods again.

We visited The Marquis for the first time last night to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. The first impressions were good once you got past the building works a modern feel in sympathy with the age and style of the building. The restaurant was quiet (not unexpected for a Thursday at the end of February), the waiting staff were attentive and personable, but not intrusive. The food was sublime. Everything was well cooked and well seasoned, all the elements on each dish could be tasted in their own right. I can honestly say that I have eaten in more decorated restaurants and not enjoyed my evening nearly as much. We will most certainly be back

They are getting their marketing bang on at the moment with they’re themed nights. We just did the Italian one which was lovely. Live singer to go with the Italian feel to accompany the Italian menu. The starters I had was excellent, however the main needed more flavour as it was a bit too bland. I do like this place as the decor and surroundings are fabulous and I really like the cocktail bar. However the girl serving the cocktails needs more personality. You need a cocktail maker/server that interacts with the client. Service is very good here but I do get the feeling that the food overall is average. Nevertheless overall if you want a nice dining experience with great atmosphere it’s here... Visualizza piatti

Disappointingly a really poor experience. Initially we were greeted by a really friendly member of staff who promptly fetched our first drink order (coffee and pina colada). We were then pretty much abandoned even though the place had emptied of customers. We had to actively find someone for a second drink and my friend also ordered some fries. The non alcoholic mojitos we ordered were really different sizes; my friend's being much bigger than mine? I actually had hardly any real drink in my glass; mainly crushed ice and lime slices. It was as if the person preparing them really couldn't be bothered. Also, the fries were almost inedible as they hadn't been cooked? They were hard and cold. Ag...

Great welcome and bar area. Ordered strawberry daiquiri, not my first, tasted awful. Took it back and the bar staff said fine here have another drink free of charge. Got taken to our seats in front of a live musician. Great music but placement meant we couldn’t hear anything. Complained regarding but had to move restaurants and didn’t want to. Ordered starters; tasted great. Main came and we ordered sharing steak, for two person and as sharing expected two portions of veg, which came, two portions of chips, never came. Again asked regarding why they explained only comes with one portion of chips, fine. The lady said I’ll get you more I said no don’t worry she insisted then charged us the ext...

"I hope we were just unlucky, and I feel sad writing this, but it wasn't the best experience this weekend. We stayed overnight and had the tasting menu. The Creppy family are departed a while now, and the staff such as Henri that stayed on are long gone, they set unbelievably high standards which were always going to be hard to meet. We loved the room we stayed in, but the rest of the experience was a bit awkward. I feel sorry for them as it was super hot and it must be difficult to get staff at the moment, but when you have paid £500 for one night and food inc wine then things can be a bit disappointing. From the start we could tell that they were under the cosh, the manager was sick, and we were told repeatedly how busy they were tonight. We asked to eat 30 mins later than booked which they said would help. We ordered a half bottle of champagne but had to wait about 15 minutes as the fridge was broken at it would not be cold. It arrived and wasn't cold enough really, then after 10 minutes in the ice bucket it was. Simultaneously other guests were told the coffee machine was also broken. A bit of a shame as we were celebrating a birthday and it sort of spoiled the moment waiting for a drink. Then ordered a 2014 Pomerol which to be honest I found really rather average, but that is the luck of the draw. The food was quite good, but only one course impressed us, the trout was good. The staff seem very downbeat to the point of it being awkward, one told us and another table to make as much mess as we like as it was her last shift. Others seemed very awkward and lacking confidence/a smile. Again, hard to get quality staff at the moment, but there seemed to be a lack of pride/confidence in what is being delivered. I also asked for cheese to finish off, in the past they had a glorious cheese cart with a huge selection of great cheeses. I accept maybe it was too hot for this, but I was simply given a plate of three cheeses, no one asked me if I would like to choose anything or for example do I like blue cheese. Then when it was delivered my wife tried one of them, liked it so asked what it was, and they didn't know what the cheese was which is probably not what they aspire to. makes me sad as the cheese at the Great House is stuff of legend. More minor stuff: Breakfast wise the coffee in the percolator was way too strong even for someone who likes strong coffee, a tiny shot of milk was not enough so we asked for more, would have been nice to be offered hot milk to make Cafe Au Lait etc. Also another minor point, the soap and shower gels were quite horrible, they stick to you and don't wash off, not something I'm usually bothered about, but the half empty containers looked like they had be refilled with something not very nice, or it was just never very good. When we checked out I think the manager may have been back, he did not ask us once how our stay had been so we had no real chance to say anything. We tried to be understanding and of course being British nothing was really a problem for us, but when you've spent £500 for a birthday it was all a bit disappointing and not nearly up to par. I sympathise that it might have been a difficult night, but to be honest it would have come off better if I hadn't been reminded every few minutes that they were so busy and everything going wrong. I'm not even sure that they were that busy, the terrace was out of bounds and the restaurant was 3/4 full. Matters were drawn in to focus the next day when we went to the Weavers Spa, and also for lunch at the Crown in Stoke by Nayland, staff were cheerful, helpful and great at both of these local places. Sorry for writing this negative review which I feel sad to have written about a place we used to love. Rooms: 4 Service: 2 Location: 4"
