"We had dinner in Peel 's as part of the hotel 's 'midweek staycation ' package, and decided to treat ourselves to the wine flight to accompany it. Service was attentive yet laid back throughout, in keeping with the decor and ambience. Fresh seasonal produce takes pride of place on this menu reflecting the sustainable ethos at the heart of the restaurant and hotel. Each course was well balanced and perfectly executed, with the pace of the menu just perfect, leaving you wanting more right up until dessert. Carrot and beetroot dishes were earthy and exciting, and truly celebrated the produce at the heart of them. The beef brisket dish was a stand out course for me, rich, deep and full of flavour yet balanced with the mushrooms. We felt that the wine flight offered a good balance of familiar and more adventurous/challenging wines. (We each gave 5/6 of the wines a thumbs up not the same 5 though.... a solid reminder that personal preference is subjective! The sommelier gave us a good amount of information and the chance to ask questions without being overbearing. The whole experience including the food, wine, service and atmosphere was right up our street we hope to be back before too long. NB I note some previous comments re drinks options in the bar we found that when we asked there was a greater selection than appears on the bar menu and staff were all to happy to discuss the options with us."

"yesterday we had one of the worst experiences in a restaurant. I was in the hospital and on the way to home made a reservation about the phone. Once we entered, we were accompanied on our table and given menus. 5 minutes after we had set ourselves, the very rude waitress (possibly South African) marched on our table and announced before the whole restaurant that we did not wear the right clothes and therefore had to leave clothes or change because they could not serve us. I am perfect with restaurants with a dress code (although they are in the rule in mayfair not knowle high st.) which I did not like was that this was not imparted to us on more discreet wise. it was very embarrassing, and we were made to feel like we were among them. we live in hampton in Arden, not a million miles away. yes, we were under dressed, but it was a Sunday afternoon afternoon, morning. If the waitress had been kind enough to talk with something decor, she would have realized that we had just arrived from the sick house and celebrated my good health, which explains the pension. I will not come back. I never felt so humiliated in my whole life."

"Had a lovely two course meal with my friend here. Great atmosphere and a nice level of noise for a week day evening meal. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. The food was fantastic and with a great menu it was very difficult to make a decision. Deffinately good value for money and Ive recommended this place to pretty much everyone Ive seen since."

"Myself and my Mom popped in today for a light lunch. We haven’t been in a while but the transformation from coffee lounge to restaurant is fantastic. Lovely and spacious with beautiful views through beautiful, large windows. The food was beautiful and fresh and customer service was excellent. Tom came over to ask us how we were enjoying our food and gave us so much information about where their meat fish is sourced, also explaining how the food changes daily as they serve seasonal produce. Such a refreshing change to speak to somebody who is clearly very passionate about providing customers with high quality, locally sourced food. Even the artwork on the walls was painted by a local artist. We will definitely be returning to sample your dinner menu and Sunday roast. We paid a visit to the Farm Shop before returning home where we were greeted with a massive, cheerful “hello” and a beaming smile from behind the meat counter. We couldn’t resist the rib eye steak and pork belly. The latter is now cooking nicely in the oven verdict to follow . Thank you for making our day so enjoyable."
