Well, where do I start. We, as a couple, usually book afternoon tea (for our anniversary) at Rockcliffe Hall (Croft), but the prices have been increasing year on year, so we thought we’d try somewhere else. I wish I’d just paid the £80 to go to RH. The Redworth Hall Hotel visit started with litter all over the place on the approach. Crisp packets rammed into the gaps in the outdoor tables; empty cigarette packets strewn all over the place, and then an empty can of Kronenberg keeping the Lion statue (at the entrance) company. The door, when I went to push it open was sticky…probably from too many spilt drinks on it, then we were directed to the room where afternoon tea was served (see picture of empty room). That’s when the alarm bells really rang. An empty restaurant room. At Rockcliffe Hall you struggle to get a seat..!!! Next…the cobwebs at the bottom of the curtains…paint peeling off the walls…tears in the curtains, and threadbare carpets. Now for the food. The sandwiches were fine, although one of my wife’s finger sandwiches were 1/2 the size on the top part than the bottom. Two of the cakes were (I’m sure) illuminous. The scones were too crumbly to put the cream on…definitely not worth the expenditure. Came to pay…was expecting £42, got a bill of £47.25. The waitress had already printed off the invoice with a £5.25 extra service charge. This SC was NEVER mentioned, NEVER on any menu, so why was it added? For the service maybe? What service? The tea and sandwiches/cakes were brought out then we didn’t see anyone after that until we had to pay. Avoid like the proverbial plague. Never going back, and will so not recommend. 4 1/2 stars on trip advisor…really. I really should have paid double and got what we wanted. But like old saying goes, you pay for what you get…that being the case, the service charge by itself would have been too much. FOLLOW UP FROM CONTACT WITH REDWORTH HALL MANAGEMENT After the management team reading my review I was contacted about it. They admitted that the litter situation would be looked into; they did say that the restaurant area was earmarked for refurbishment and that the price of the afternoon tea reflected this; they admitted that the service charge was a recent company wide introduction, and therefore had not been placed on the menus or advertised anywhere on the website. They did say that this will be removed until such a time as this was the case (advertising the charge). The quality of food wasn’t mentioned, however. I have been offered a refund of the service charge and also a 50% refund of the afternoon tea charge, which I accepted, and also told them that I would amend my initial review.

Awww so dissapointing, the menu has changed and unfortunately not for the better. Prices have took a big increase over the last 2 years but that's to be expected but the quality of the food and portion size with that increase in price has decreased in size. The deserts are no longer the quality or size they were and are now £10 from £6. The menu choice has lost some fantastic food from it and the hand cut chips well what a change . They did the best handcut chips and when i saw fish and chips was so looking forward to it , but got hard dry scabby chips not a bit like previous times. Asked staff is it just a bad day or is this how the chips are now and she said this is it now and agreed they arnt as good ,as alwaysbwe ordered 2 sides if hand cut chips as theybwere to die for before , we both ate 1 and left them. Sticky toffee pud was the best id had but since menu change was small dried out of different quality and £4 more Starters arnt the best either for fussy eaters to loose a soup and the croquettes and then aronchini balls was dissapoiting . Makes me wonder if it's been a change of chef as the food has massively changed . I've used redworth hall for the last 5 years and book overnight stay at least once every 2 months if not more as loved everything about it . Last visit our bill was for 2 deserts 2 drinks and 2 sides around £40 as 2 course included im overnight stay . We had a a £13 service charge added ? The have now introduced a 12 5% service charge but our 2 course meal we had paid for as was part of the overnight stay was on bill the service charge was added to that also then that deducted. We also gave £5 tip as when paid no point when went upto till to pay was it told there was a service charge aswell so our £40 extras cost us a £18 tip more less . It's totally changed our last visit made us look for somewhere else for a overnight break which is so sad as we have loved here and love to see places making changes but sadly its not been for the better here. Please 1744 bring back your old quality of food. To make it magical again

We stayed for my birthday on 16 Feb 24. DB&B. The hotel room was ok but small and had no fridge. It was clean. The health club was far too busy and charging me £15 for the hire of 2 robes was a surprise. We had lunch and it was passable. The meal in the 1744 restaurant was one of the worst meals that I have ever had. The fish cake was breaded mashed potato with no fish that I could find and no seasoning or parsley. Extremely bland. The pork belly main was cold and the gravy made with granules. The veg were uninspiring. My sticky toffee pudding was poor without much taste and I would be amazed if homemade. My wife’s meal was equally disappointing. The red wine was pretty uninspiring. The hotel was very busy and we did not get our room until almost 5pm having arrived around 230. I joked with my wife that even if I were offered a free return visit I would not bother. Staff very friendly. Sorry Redworth Hall I rarely post reviews but felt compelled having had such a disappointing birthday.

I’m really surprised by most of the comments about this hotel and restaurant.We were generally disappointed with everything.I wouldn’t be surprised if this hotel spa closes soon.In fact,we decided to come back home one night early. The restaurant could do with some updating,it looks quite old,dark and tired.They offer a quite generous range of dishes but some of them seem very risky to ask for(reading some reviews here have confirmed it)We went for the less risky ones(roast chicken and pork ) and ate them.They weren’t amazing but acceptable and safe.The staff was helpful although some of them seemed to be half trained…the girl who was serving the wine was completely unable to open the cork of our bottle of wine…everything seemed so below average…no what you expect from a spa scape😞

We had stayed at Redworth Hall before and thoroughly enjoyed it, this time the food let the hotel down. On our first night I chose Ham Hock terrine and my wife had smoked Haddock Fish cakes. The terrine was so cold it was tasteless served with a wafer thin slice of stale sourdough bread. The fish cakes were tepid and not very flavoursome. Within 2 minutes of our starter plates being cleared the main courses arrived. My belly pork had a jus on top that had congealed and had obviously been sat on the hot plate for some time before service. My wife enjoyed her butterflied chicken but again it was tepid. On our second night my wife had pulled chicken terrine which like the ham hock was so cold the flavour had vanished. There was also pieces of cartridge in the terrine. The main courses arrived within a minute of the starter being cleared. Again the nduja chicken burger was tepid with cheese that was no longer melted. My seafood risotto was the biggest let down. The seafood was very tasty but the rice wasn’t cooked. Some of the rice grains were still white. Any chef worth his salt should know that rice grains that are still white inside are not cooked. I was offered a change of dish but I’d had enough disappointment by then. The breakfast buffet, on the other hand was excellent. All hot dishes were hot and frequently replenished. I thoroughly enjoyed both breakfasts. We have another reservation at the hotel in September and hope that the kitchen at dinner service gets its act together. The service felt very rushed. If more time was spent on presentation things would be improved.

Visited restaurant for an aunts 96th birthday and had afternoon tea. Positives were lovely room off main restaurant and friendly staff. Negatives were poor value for money. Cheap sandwich fillings (egg mayo, cheese pickle, coronation chicken). I had requested one of the three teas as gluten-free. The coronation chicken was substituted for mashed avocado and a big slice of pepper, not sure what gluten could possibly be in coronation chicken. The scone and cakes were not homemade. All in all it looked about £5 worth of food. The gluten free cakes looked like Mr Kipling type slices. All in all very disappointing. Plenty of tea and coffee though.

Dined here on our first night at the hotel, food was of an average standard not what I would of expected for a premium venue. Service was slow coming and patchy. To top off we was overcharged by £30 on our bill, this was due to an admin error not putting the desserts on the 2 course deal. We had to battle a little to secure the refund, the issue I have is not with the error we are all human and have to learn roles it was the supervisors who wanted to just blame the new colleague. Not very supportive or team spirited. Also visited for breakfast- still fairly average for pub buffet breakfast nothing special or ‘premium’ about here.

we were a party of four the selection of breads and oil was forgettable and at least one slice felt hard as if it had been out too long. we waited at least 45 mins for our starters to arrive. probably because of the number of people trying to each we had booked in advance. The lamb was ok the cheese board disappointing and should use locally produced cheeses. My guests were not impressed with any of their dishes the large room feels like eating in an airport or upmarket canteen. This is a big hotel and i could not recommend it for that special dinner. Go there to eat not to enjoy. on a second day we avoided the soulless restaurant and ate burger and chips in and adjacent room this was ok.

We stayed at the hotel and payed for the meal to be part of our visit. Well I am really not sure where to start. I have eaten in many restaurants and it is the first time I have been unable to eat all 3 of the courses. We were sat on a table for 4 (there was 2 of us) and my husband was facing the back of a dirty glass filled bar. Within 5 minutes of arriving, we had been asked 3 times about ordering drinks. I did say to one waitress, that it was nice to be efficient but could we have a minute to decide and she replied rudely with a comment. My pate came and well I could have been sick just looking at it. Runny, pink blobs soaked in a tomato ketchup like sauce with RAW carrots shoved in it. I didn't even touch it and my plate was taken away with not even a question. My husband's crab cakes tasted of old chip fat. Mains...my chicken was too dry to eat, I chewed and chewed. The mushroom sauce was indeed mushroom juice probably from the tinned mushrooms. Again this was left. I was offered an alternative and I asked for a starter of soup (I thought this would be the safest option) Husband's burger was ok, nothing special. Puddings took 45 minutes to arrive and mine just looked like the pate but frozen! Highlight of the night was noticing that our water jug waste absolutely filthy. I put my hand inside and scraped it with my nail. My husband was nearly sick when he saw the black which came off onto my nail. Breakfast, I can't comment on as after waiting in a queue which went all the way along the corridor, we had coffee and melon and left. We didn't fancy standing in the large queue for the cooked breakfast items. The pastries, fruit and yoghurts were at the opposite side and all looked nice.The 'restaurant' is like a cheap eats place where you have to go and stand next to the till to settle your bill. The till is next to a full paper waste bin where half the receipts which are printed by staff, actually ended up all over the floor and weren't picked up.All in all, not a nice experience and I felt spoilt our night away

We had "king prawns" which were the size of a 1p coin. However, tasted nice. My partner had a lemon salmon starter which was also nice. For main we had feather blade beef which fell apart on our plates, it was really delicious. However, as I was cutting through mine there were two very large, noticeable, arteries running through it. I completely understand I was eating meat however to find an artery really made me feel quite ill, and my partner didnt have any, suggesting it was not the cut of the meat. Desserts were really nice also and the staff treated us very nicely .

We stayed here on New Years Eve but as we weren’t attending the gala decided to have dinner in the restaurant. I’d read some mixed reviews so wasn’t sure what to expect. We opted for 3 courses which I believe it around £28/£29 each and it was well worth it.

We had dinner included in our room deal, the hotel was busy and our expectations weren't that high. However all 3 courses were excellent. I'll go into some detail. My wife started with the crab cakes, really good but maybe could have done with a little more crab in the mix. I had the cheese croquettes which were really good, not too rich or heavy. Main course, I had sea bream which was beautifully cooked and had a light but buttery sauce, this was a great choice for a lighter meal. My wife had the chicken - most restaurants dry chicken out but this was moist and tender, perfect, with a sauce to match. I finished with lemon meringue pie which was as good as my Mum's (sorry Mum) but the star of the show was the sticky toffee pudding: how you get something so rich without being cloyingly sweet and SO light is beyond me and also beyond my Mrs who is a very skilled cook (which means we don't eat out that often because we are hard to please). So top marks to the chef and the kitchen. Front of house not quite as good (hence not 5 blobs): very friendly and willing, but need just a bit more training so that when they walk through the restaurant they are able to spot tables that could do with some attention, and to bring drinks orders to the table more quickly (very frustrating to be able to watch your drink sitting on the bar waiting to be brought to you). But I'm being picky here, it was overall a very positive experience. Redworth - hold on to this chef!

Surcharges for upgrade to set meals eg steaks(£9), king prawns ... not really (£3) cheese and biscuits (£4) unacceptable as the meal is already over priced @ £28.50. Hodgepodge of waitress’s/ waiters, but no single member attentive to customer really affecting overall service. Would strongly suggest staff @ 1744 visit a Miller & Carter Restaraunt to take extensive notes on how to improve the quality of their restaurant. Seriously doubt 1744 will take on board constructive comments.

Food was nice, but surcharges unrealistic. £28 for 3 courses but an extra £6 for lamb. Need to order side orders too to make main course complete. Decor in restaurant still outdated. Slow with cooked to order eggs for breakfast. Really busy because everyone on d, b&b; deal.

Service was quite good. No Pinot as they had ‘run out’ a few days ago (though I had a glass earlier in bar). Beef tough, roast ‘vegetables’ consisted of only parsnips and one pitifully small piece of carrot and I couldn’t cut into pudding (sticky toffee pudding that I think was over microwaved). Very poor quality.

A great menu and fantastic choice of well prepared food. The only criticism was that the sweet menu was not of a similarly high standard as the starter and main course.

Ate here as part of a spa overnight package and found the 3 course meal to be gorgeous! Lots to choose from on the menu for even the fussiest of eaters. I do not normally do starters but as it was included I ordered soup, again not something I would normally eat. It was potato and leak served with a crusty bread roll and it was really nice. I then had beef served with carrots, parsnips and mashed potato - this was lovely and the best beef I have ever tasted. Very moist and tasty and cooked just right. I then had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. This was also lovely although would have been better with custard! My partner had the same starter and desert but had chicken breast in creamy mushroom sauce and he enjoyed that. The service in the restaurant was very good, we were seated quickly and all courses was served quickly too by friendly staff. Same the next morning for breakfast. Buffet breakfast with lots to choose from, continental and hot. All cooked lovely and fresh. Would definitely eat here again.

We were staying at the hotel with a meal included in our stay, we opted for mushroom soup and ham hock terrine to start... Both were fantastic, for mains we both had beef with red wine ju which was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully, the chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding topped off a first class meal.

A very busy night as there seemed to be a few coach loads of folk in, but the staff coped very well and there were no delays. Good selection on the menu and the food was delicious from starters to pudding. Good wine choice. Would recommend.
