"I wasn’t going to make this review as I genuinely enjoyed my stay at the hotel but I thought people need to be made aware of how poor the food in the restaurant is. Restaurant aside, the hotel and its grounds are beautiful and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are large and the rates per night are agreeable for the product you get. However, what is not acceptable is the food being served in the dining room, I’m not exactly sure what Michelin were thinking as this restaurant utterly discredits the guide. I’m increasingly losing faith in the UK guide as the inspectors evidently don’t know what they’re talking about anymore. First of all the cost of the tasting menu is comical. A one Michelin starred restaurant charging three star prices is a joke and considering how bad the food being served is, this is quite frankly out of order. £175 is similar to what you’d pay at Clare Smyth, Claude Bosi or Hélène Darroze, which are some of the best restaurants in the country and closest to what you’d encounter in France. Here there’s no real luxury ingredients and the execution of the dishes are just poor and flavours badly judged. Everything was forgettable, minuscule in portion, a series of amuse bouche than meal. Someone in my party was served some kind of vegetable, which was grilled and this was the restaurant’s excuse for a vegetarian menu, as if this is what vegetarians eat. This restaurant is not vegetarian friendly whatsoever, you will be totally disregarded. The “highlight” of the meal was some awful chocolate desert served with what tasted like vinegar and a chocolate dusted twig of some kind of herb. I had to pick the herb out of my mouth as this was akin to chewing on a branch from a tree. Disgusting to say the least. The canapés in the kitchen, for me, was just utterly pretentious and try hard. Standing there watching the kitchen team hard at work while we wait to be served was just awkward. The dining room was very small and the décor was like stepping back in time to an early 2000s living room… not stylish at all and not in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Interior designer is blind or retired long ago. The staff were attentive and friendly enough, though the pace of the meal was a joke, however, yet again, this was down to the kitchen. It seemed like forever to be served tiny underwhelming dishes and towards the end of the meal I was getting quite frustrated and wanted to leave and retire back to my room. When the meal did end and we had coffee, we weren’t even served petit fours for £175… thank the lord in heaven for the bread is all I can say. On another note, when we were served breakfast the next day, the joke continued. For some reason we were given half a mushroom and half a black pudding… the tiny portions are even applied to breakfast in the morning. The vegetarian breakfast also had half a mushroom despite having less items on the plate. This for me was just downright offensive and a real lack of attention to detail. Whatley Manor is a very beautiful hotel with lovely grounds and nice staff, however its restaurant or kitchen as a whole is a serious cause for concern and really ruins the whole experience and stops the hotel from being a truly top class establishment. The restaurant is holding the hotel back and personally I think Michelin need to come back and make a review with a clear head. This review would’ve been a 1/5 if it wasn’t for the staff who actually earned their service charge for being attentive and professional. Cannot recommend this restaurant at all until something is done about the kitchen. What a shame, what a waste…"

We enjoyed dinner in the Dining room over the Easter break as part of a weekend stay at the hotel. The food and service were great. The restaurant was very quiet with only a handful of covers all evening and a large portion of the room sectioned off and empty.

The Most well balanced tasting meu that we have ever come across and we regularly dine at Michelin restaurants. The quality of the food , the innovation in the presentations were superb. You also have an opportunity to meet the chef and his team The wine List was comprehensive and both the quality of the wines and the service matched the food. A great all around experience and highly recommended.

Really lovely evening and amazing food. Staff were really attentive, well informed, friendly and extremely accommodating. Was really interesting to have one of the courses in the kitchen to see them in the real environment Food was tasty and brilliantly presented We had the pairing wines and when we weren’t keen on one of them we we’re offered alternatives without any issue. Twice on one occasion. So good and amendable. Doesn’t happen in some restaurants Not cheap but was really enjoyable Speisekarte ansehen

We had a fantastic meal in the Dining Room to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The front of house staff and kitchen team were friendly and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our kitchen experience, watching the chefs perfect the dishes and meeting the head chef was a real pleasure. Each course we had was so flavoursome and beautifully presented like art on a plate! The Dining Room deserves its one Michelin Star and we are sure it will achieve 2 stars in the future. Thank you to everyone for making our special occasion so memorable.

We visited the Dinning Room to experience their vast tasting menu and must say what an experience. It was great to meet and chat with head chef Ricki Weston to to observe his very calm and coordinated kitchen in operation. All 12 or so courses were exquisite and the presentation and service of them was all a 'theatre '. The only slight downside was the expensive cost of the the 'pre drinks ' £19 for a gin and tonic !. All the staff were extremely courteous, knowledgeable and made the evening complete. For a Special Occassion we can 't rate this place highly enough and would certainly recommend it for couples looking for that Michelin Star dinning experience.

Tried the spa facility earlier this year so fancied another trip for same plus Michelin Dinner and overnight stay. So glad we did. The tasting menu was outstanding and delivered the WOW I'm sure all serious fine dining folk want to have when paying decent money. Such quality in flavours . Generous portions. Good ingredients. On top of that service was friendly, perfectly timed and we never felt rushed. A nice bonus to start off was a few Amuse Bouche in front of the kitchen staff hard at work . Wonderful to see the precision and team work. Then to wrap up at 1am in the bar over a G&T, we were so pleased to have an appearance from Ricki Weston himself. I wanted to compliment him on a brillian... Speisekarte ansehen

We went to The Dining Room for my birthday last week. Off the scale brilliant. Food to die for. We don’t have enough words for how good it was. The only way I can describe it adequately is to say it is pure artistry, skill and passion playing out on every plate and in every mouthful. Kudos to Ricki and the whole team for what you have created and the experience you give your diners. It’s extraordinary. We’re not gourmets but we celebrate wonderful food when we experience it, and The Dining Room is among the very best there is. The service is exceptional like everything at Whatley, it’s top quality while warm and welcoming. They make everyone feel special and you relax instantly. And that can...

Having lost their second star, the Dining Room 's prices singularly fail to reflect this demotion. At £175pp this equates with some of the finest restaurants in the land, but the anticipated quality and finesse is distinctly lacking. Having dined in all but one of the 3 star restaurants in the UK I do feel this judgement of quality and value to be fair and analytical. The Dining Room 's proclamation of a 7 course tasting menu is misleading as the various little extras that one normally receives gratis on a 5 course menu canapes, amuse bouches, petits fours are (perhaps cynically? included here as actual named courses. Ignoring subjective personal taste, of the seven courses three were truly...
