Restaurant at Seckford Hall Hotel

The restaurant was well turned out. Clean, tidy and very comfortable. All the food was very tasty and well presented. There is one personal criticism. The sausages for breakfast were not cooked enough. As I said, this is a personal criticism. Would this stop me from returning, absolutely not.

Superb lunch with outstanding service set in the most ambient surroundings - such a pleasurable experience enhanced by charming well conversed staff

Nice surrounding

The food we had was lovely, staff polite.
Unfortunately our side orders for the main course did not arrive until we had eaten it. We were told we would not be charged for these! But they still appeared on the bill. So had to be redone. Pity they didn’t offer coffee/tea included as the meal hadn’t been complete.

We really enjoyed our afternoon tea outside - many thanks!

Very good, except it would have been better if the gravy was provided in a separate jug so that one could choose the amount you decide to have personally. The chef had already applied the gravy to the main course and this was excessive for us.

Food very good - staff very helpful and worked hard

Overall a very pleasant experience, with a very friendly welcome from the Reception staff. The Waitress in the Dining Room was very pleasant but seemed to be unaware (unless she had forgotten her training!) that food, unlike drinks, should be served from the left side of the guest. Accordingly she stretched across the front of the guest when serving a bread roll from the right, to an extent that the guest had to lean back in her chair. For my main course I ordered "Chicken Breast", but I made a mistake by failing to notice from the Menu that it was in a piri piri sauce. When I drew my mistake to the waitress, she was very kind and willingly replaced the chicken breast without piri piri, and at no extra cost. This was very much appreciated. The cheese board was very good and well presented.
The colour scheme in the Dining Room is rather depressing and the hard floor needs carpeting to reduce the noise level and improve the ambience. However, I understand arrangements are in hand to improve the décor of the Dining Room, and I look forward to seeing such improvement in due course. I am looking forward to lunching again at Seckford Hall later this month.

We had afternoon cream tea for two, excellent service, good variation of food on platter and a lovely setting

Myself and my wife had a pleasant evening and dinner recently in spite of a slightly bad start with a glass of Merlot that was not great. I took it back to the bar and was given a second glass from a new bottle which was fine and the member of staff was very polite and happy to replace it. The meals we chose were very nice and the service excellent. The restaurant and the beautiful building and location are lovely. Overall, a very good experience and I’m sure we will return.
