Wild Carrot and Bar

The restaurant had a very noisy atmosphere with unruly children running around, which made for an unpleasant experience. My main course was also unbalanced. However, the service was good and the starter was enjoyable. The staff kindly offered me a discount to make up for the issues. Despite being the only restaurant in the top hotel, it is expensive and not suitable for dining. I do not plan on returning anytime soon.

My wife and I ate here for our Valentine’s Day evening. The thought that went into planning the details was impeccable. Great food, staff and music. A wonderful evening. The décor was well thought through and the table looked beautiful. The customised cocktails made at the table, the beautiful dishes. Everything felt magical and a stylish and romantic evening. And the entire menu was Gluten Free which as a Celiac I really appreciated.

What a wonderful treat this was! We went for the full buffet. All ingredients were fresh and tasty and there was a huge variety of both cooked and continental foods. An abundance of gluten free options. Copious tea and coffee served and a glass of sparkling wine included The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The weather was wet and windy so didn’t have the chance to enjoy the grounds but will return in the Summer and schedule in a walk. Thoroughly recommend!

First, the positives! Good service, lovely staff and great food!!Unfortunately it was like sitting in the middle of a child friendly pub, which we could have gone to for a quarter of the price. Looks like the Four Seasons has lost its way, if they are trying to promote themselves as a fairly average family hotel, rather than a 5 star luxury experience perhaps that should be made clear. We are local to the hotel and, as such, we were looking for a special restaurant for a group of 8 friends to enjoy fine food and wine in a refined restaurant. This was definitely not it, such a a shame, felt bad for the staff as they are obviously aware of the problem and were very professional. Such a shame,...

This restaurant really needs to determine its demographic. While the food was sublime the restaurant was packed and I mean packed with children. We asked to be moved three times before finding a semi-quiet table. It was like attending a creche. This is fine if you are paying for a chain restaurant but not for a restaurant that purports fine dining. It 's not only the food but the ambience that counts. This could all be rectified by having a family restaurant and one for adults. Service was slow initially too. Had to wait 30 minutes for a cocktail although we were offerred some bubbles as the staff recognised the delay. We were told by staff that the hotel aims for kids at the weekend so sadl...

We are quite local to this hotel and it's a great go-to place for a great experience. The hotel has been decorated for Xmas beautifully and no expense has been spared. We had drinks in the bar, then went to the main restaurant. The service, wine and our meal was amazing and we have no complaints. I actually asked to speak to the restaurant manager as our server, Alex provided great service, conversation and additional treats. Cannot fault anything. I will agree with other reviews that there were a lot of children in the restaurant but not sure how this would distract from an amazing experience and warrant a poor overall score. Most children were well behaved and it makes the hotel a great pl...

I made a reservation for two at 7:00 pm on a Friday evening to celebrate a special occasion, expecting a beautiful setting and a fantastic menu in the Hampshire countryside. Unfortunately, the restaurant was filled with children and babies, which was unexpected for a high-end fine dining establishment. The children were running around, causing disruptions and making it difficult to enjoy our meal. The restaurant should consider seating families in a separate area to accommodate adult-only groups. The service was not up to par, with delays in bringing out bread and locating our champagne. The bill came to over £330, and while I am able to afford such prices for special occasions, the experien...

We visited this restaurant on a Sunday night at the end of May for our wedding anniversary. Upon our arrival for our 7.45pm booking, we were disappointed to find the restaurant overrun with children and tables filled with old plates from a hotel buffet. We were seated near open doors, with children running in and out and parents not controlling them. We asked to move but there was no escape from the kids in the restaurant, so we were moved to the bar. However, our seating was awkward and we were surrounded by a loud family group playing charades. The drinks were expensive and the waiter made mistakes with our order. The food was mediocre and overpriced. The desserts were disappointing. Despi...

Extortionately overpriced for basic pub grub, plus poor service and no allergen menu. First of all, my wife and I regularly frequent very high end establishments. This isn’t what you would expect at this price point. The location is beautiful, the staff are well dressed and courteous, however, the decor on the wild carrot is tired and the food is 50/50… read on… On arrival we were seated at a dark table with no view, when there were plenty of nicer tables it was quite quiet . We shortly asked to move which was a waste of of our time. My wife has an egg allergy and was horrified to discover they had no allergen menu they could share with us, plus the two waiters said they had no idea about al...
