Auberge du Lac in Welwyn Hatfield

The staff were all really well trained and professional in accommodating everyone and making people feel comfortable. I was so impressed by how kind and understanding they were! I could tell their manager really paid attention to training each staff. The food was lovely, some of the best salmon dish I've ever had. The ambience was perfect as well.

We booked to go last night to celebrate my husbands birthday As my husband has a number of food intolerances we contacted the restaurant and were delighted to be told the festive menu would be available and this worked for his dietary requirements. All booked and confirmed on e mail. By chance I checked the website yesterday and was surprised to see the festive menu not showing . I e mailed to check got no reply ,phoned to check was told they’d call back - no call Rang again at 3pm told they would call be back in 10 mins Incredibly no one rang me or replied to my e mail so we had no choice but to not go My husbands birthday was ruined What a disappointing & unprofessional way to treat people

Four of us went for lunch. The welcome was warm, the restaurant was beautiful. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. The food was all excellent, well-cooked and beautifully presented. The set menu included a glass of champagne which was very welcome. We eat frequently at Michelin-star restaurants, and we felt strongly that everything about Auberge du Lac fully meets the criteria for this accolade. Michelin Guide - please go and visit them! Well done to the Auberge: we will definitely be going there again!

Went on a Saturday night for the first time. Food was as always excellent. Service sadly was some way off it’s normal level. Think they may have been short of staff but lots of the usual small things that make it a great place to eat were missing. Will stick to going in the week. Also the tip machine which I like because it is separate and goes to all staff both front and back of house has a cheeky little 7% service charge once it hits your bank. Cash will avoid that.

Horrible experience. Visited for a birthday lunch. Everyone felt unwell afterwards. Management not interested. Never again.

AMAZING! The food was superb, the view from the restaurant is stunning and the price is very reasonable. It's perfect for a special occasion! We will definitely be back many times!

We did the lunch time special. The food was fantastic and represents great vfm.

This restaurant boasts a beautiful location set inside a private gated entrance. The staff here are incredibly friendly from the moment you walk in. The service can not be faulted - not rushed and well paced between dishes. Good wine menu! The food, on the other hand, whilst beautifully presented, didn't quite deliver on flavour. Lots of fancy tricks and skills on display, but somehow, the food was just missing the mark on taste. Portion sizes are a little small (expected in fine dining), but this isn't the fine dining you come to expect from fine french cuisine. As a result, we felt the prices were a little ambitious for the food. The main beef dish at £32.00 for two small pieces of beef (chewy, not tender) was a little excessive. We've had better for cheaper in well established Michelin Star restaurants. Auberge Du Lac has so much potential of which I'm sure it will tap into soon! Keep up the good work 👏

The absolutely beautiful building and setting really gives a wonderful first impression.. However upon entry it was quite clear that the Interior Design really needed an update/uplift/some love (I'm available). I didn't notice a pre meal bar as we were led straight down the old stairs to the restaurant which immediately looks super dated. No cosy fixed seating, sensitive lighting, luxurious furniture or anything sumptuous for that matter. It felt a bit stuffy and pretentious which thankfully eased as the afternoon progressed and the Guests changed. Contrastingly, the staff service throughout was exceptional, warm, welcoming, obviously well trained... The main event...the food very hit and miss. The main negative being that my wives' meal arrived luke warm... so she sat through the whole main watching us eat then we did the same afterwards. Not good enough at the prices being paid i'm afraid, very very disappointing. In terms of the food quality, the canapes, focaccia and starters were all delicious and well presented. The roast pork belly was sadly, underwhelming. The potatoes and Colliflower cheese aside, it lacked flavour, heat and finesse. The pork belly was so fatty it had barely any meat texture. Soggy pre made Yorkshires, thin tasteless gravy and watery veg though nicely presented were just poor.. Being a Northerner, bad gravy is unforgiveable! The caramel tart desert was back up to a high standard to finish the meal well though my wives chocolate cake was dry and pretty much like a generic birthday cake in flavour. My daughters fixed children meal displayed so little finesse and cooking skill it could have been any pub, anywhere... just here at more than double the price. This place has amazing 'bones' and potential but smacks as 'set ones way' and complacency. Sorry to say with the abundance of local options, we are unlikely to return :o(

We went for lunch to enjoy the views. The food and atmosphere were all perfect for a celebration lunch. The set menu was very good. Just the job.

Absolutely superb, we tried the taster menu for the first time and every course was outstanding. The staff were attentive and polite. A really lovely relaxing evening. Thank you to everyone. Kevin & Yvonne

Came here with my mum for a special Birthday meal. The staff were absolutely fabulous - friendly, attentive, caring and knowledgable. They made my Mum feel special, which was lovely. We are from the lunch menu which was divine. Already booked to return in December. Thank you to all.

Stunning lunch as always. Everything absolutely spot on. Beautiful non alcoholic cocktails, exceptional food and service.

Fabulous countryside setting by a lake, excellent food and faultless service.

An excellent restaurant... perfect for special occasions and well worth spending a bit extra for!

Very relaxed lunch. Had the fixed lunch menu which was delicious and a wheat allergy in the party was no problem to the chef.

An outstanding service and even more exceptional food. The presentation, variety of flavors, and peaceful atmosphere made for a truly wonderful experience.

Our experience with the Director of Auberge du Lac, Michael Longshaw, was nothing short of appalling. We held our wedding at Brocket Hall Estate - encompassing Auberge du Lac - and the day was tragically overshadowed by an incident involving a Brocket Hall staff member. Despite this, neither Auberge du Lac nor Brocket Hall management has acknowledged any responsibility or offered an apology for the distressing events. Their complete lack of basic human decency is shocking, especially coming from a venue that prides itself on delivering exceptional experiences. The way Auberge du Lac and Brocket Hall management, under Michael Longshaw’s leadership, has handled the situation since has only further highlighted their disregard for customer care and compassion—qualities that are essential for a prestigious restaurant or wedding venue. If you’re considering hosting a wedding or dining event at Brocket Hall Estate, including Auberge du Lac, I’d be more than happy to share our experience in detail. Looking at the attached pictures (we have opted for the less severe ones here), I'm reminded of the letter Michael Longshaw sent us, where he claimed, "I do not believe that your celebration was materially affected by the tragic conduct of an individual." This "individual" was, in fact, a member of Brocket Hall's staff, whom Michael, as the Director of Auberge du Lac, tries to distance from the restaurant. However, it’s important to remember that this "individual" was ultimately the responsibility of the Brocket Hall estate as their employer.

Visited for a birthday meal in the family, had the set Sunday 3-course lunch, which was great! A good variety of options and lovely food. Staff and waiters very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. They also didn’t keep pestering the table like some restaurants do, which was very nice - a great balance of attentiveness and distance. As expected, an excellent location and atmosphere inside. Lovely fresh ingredients used from onsite gardens etc. Food and portion size probably not quite worth the price you pay, but there are lots of nice little additions and extras to the meal (amuse-bouche, desert sweets etc) and you ultimately pay that little extra for the great service and location. Free parking onsite too.

Delicious food, fantastic service, beautiful location. I'll definitely be back!

Fantastic food and service in a beautiful location Brocket Hall is a beautiful place, we arrived early and walked around The grounds, we then took drinks on the Terrace. We were treated to free canapés and had a fantastic meal from the A La Carte menu, but could also have chosen a 7 course taster menu. The service was impeccable and I would advise you to have the raspberry souffle which was unbelievable. We were also treated to free petit fours. Go on treat yourself. Chris & Jan

We had a fabulous time. We chose the 7 course taster menu and highly recommend everyone to try it.

Often places nowadays rely on a reputation earned in often years gone by to attract custom, and then disappoint. I am delighted to say OUR experience was nothing less than OUTSTANDING. From Amy's organisation of our event, to the superb attentive service of the entire team. The superb food and refreshments, all created a day to truly remember. And, it would be rude not to mention the excellent orchestration by Marc whose attention to detail was amazing. From the moment we entered until he became our group photographer in the car park. BRAVO! to all, and thank you for making our day.

We enjoyed our 10th wedding anniversary here, OMG ! Absolutely amazing setting, food, drink and staff

Wow! We went here today for the set Sunday lunch menu. We were blown away by the food, service and ambience. Can't recommend this place enough, we personally preffered it to other similar establishments in the area. We will be back to try the lunch set menu and hopefully the taster menu soon. Honestly the best roast beef I have ever tasted. You won't be disappointed if you give this place a try.

Had a romantic meal with my wife on our anniversary. This old school fine dining restaurant is all about the customer, the food, the service and good value for money. Set beside the tranquil lake overlooked by the magnificent Brocket Hall, all one really needs is great food, service and pleasant interactions with all staff. We thought Auberge du Lac delivered very admirably and it had rather gone off our radar post Covid but not any more. We’ll be back soon in numbers I hope👍👍👍👍👍

Top quality food in an ideallyic location. The tasting menu was fantastic. Bring the golf clubs.

I visited Auberge du Lac this afternoon for a friends birthday and it was perfect! The grounds are beautiful, the food is delicious with impeccable presentation, and the service was well beyond 5*. The whole afternoon felt like a holiday! Bilal is such a kind and amazing person and made our visit extra special. Thank you so much!

If you want to have your Bridgerton moment, this is the place to go. Located in the old hunting lodge in Lord Brockett estate, Auberge du Lac is perfect for a special meal. We had the tasting menu and the food was well executed, good portion size. The staff were attentive. Highly recommend and would go again to try a la carte menu as I saw someone with a souffle for dessert!

Excellent food and service. Fantastic service from Amy and Bilal thank you!

Great dinner at Auberge, friendly service, great food! The restaurant will only grow greater and greater over the next few years

This is our first visit since Auberge Du Lac reopened and we weren't disappointed ! Pre lunch drinks on the terrace and lunch inside . The staff strike the right balance of attentiveness and are friendly and informative . Every course we chose was incredible and beautifully presented . It’s a relaxed but efficient experience overlooking the most beautiful lake and grounds of Brocket Hall. On the way back to our car we spoke with the assistant manager who was incredibly kind . We shall be returning soon. Well done to the chef and team - a fabulous place to celebrate our anniversary.

Lovely venue, impeccable service and perfect food . We had the set lunch menu, which was very good, and I enjoyed my birthday lunch at Auberge du Lac. Table had lovely views of the lake. We really appreciated the little touches such as a selection of hors d'oeuvres, delicious breads, in addition to the 3 course menu, plus petit fours with coffee, which we took on the terrace in the sunshine. Highly recommended for a special lunch.

Delicious Sunday lunch, lovely staff and view.🙂

Lovely weather, so an outside table overlooking the lake with abundant geese and swans was already a great hors d'oeuvre. This was one of their Thursday lunches @ £39 plus drinks. This included free amuse-bouche followed by our three course selection. High quality food. Immaculate presentation. Charming waiters and staff. No time pressures. Totally relaxed lunch deep into the afternoon. Magnificent views. All very country and regal. Which is how we all felt. Thoroughly spoilt and replete. A rare and decadent location. Hidden away on the Brocket Estate in the most peaceful situation. Recently awarded 2 AA rosettes and clearly on course for more awards and accolades. The same £39 menu is also available for evening bookings arriving before 6:45. Same great value indoors or out! Brilliant.

This is an exquisite restaurant set in wonderful grounds. The quality of the food was exceptional. The service is attentive but not fussy. Food choices had us mulling for a while as so many menu items looked great. After tasting the complimentary hor d'eauves (see pic), We tried scallops, ricotta beet tartlette, lamb, and the most amazing raspberry souffle. While expensive, it was worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Food was absolutely stunning and the scenery was beautiful to look at whilst having dinner. Couldn’t recommend anymore!

Excellent night, great food and service from the staff

Outstandingly tasty fayre. Sunday lunch on steroids. Great location with fantastic views over the lake. Some incredible wines to enjoy and thanks to the very attentive staff for a lovely afternoon

Had an awesome time and sensational food. We were well attended to by Manuel and can’t wait to go again.

Really enjoyed our meal there, and had a little walk around the grounds afterwards. We couldn't find fault with any of the dishes, and the complimentary dishes were also very good. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, just a really pleasant experience altogether.

Delicious food, friendly service

What an amazing restaurant. Food was tasty, staff were hospitable and value was great. We were there for our 16th wedding anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you.

We decided to go to the Auberge du Lac for dinner on the 24th feb. it was superb, the food , the service , the attention to detail. it was well worth the visit and you certainly get what you pay for .. the new chef and menu's are superb...

The Auberge du lac is a truly fine dining restaurant with a beautiful location within the grounds of Brocket Hall. Great service, great menu and a very pleasant dining experience with friendly and efficient staff.

This was a quality experience from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The welcome from all the staff was warm and friendly. The lounge, where we had excellent cocktails on arrival atmospheric with the log fires. Canapes were a very pleasant surprise and outstanding quality, thoroughly explained by the waiter. The dining area was bright and with a good early evening atmosphere and again the waiting staff were friendly, knowledgeable and informative. The early evening set menu provided a good range and all our dishes were of top quality, the duck parfait, the guinea fowl and the desserts of pear souffle and of chocolate and peanut parfait. Coffee arrived with some excellent petit fours. Nothing but praise for all involved in this restaurant and yes, we are very likely to make a return visit !

Wow. Last visited 2020 , and it after it suffered a corona meltdown… It’s back with punch and enthusiasm. Portions generous for standard of cuisine. Excellent appetisers. Brilliantly prepared and executed menu. Excellent wine list and our chosen champagne was super. Well done.

what a hidden gem!! We live round the corner and always avoided due to thinking it was over priced and over rated. Our mistake!! The service was exceptional and the food was a high standard, yet reasonably priced. I had a lamb dish which was £32 and my husband had turbot at £28. We cannot wait to come back. Highly recommend

We had a fantastic time at Auberge du Lac (dinner). The welcome was warm, the food was excellent and the service was superb. Manuel made our evening with his great service and good humour. Looking forward to returning soon.

Excellent food let down by an amateurish, but well meaning, front of house staff. Good value for money but not quite there as a fine dining experience.

We had a truly unforgettable experience, from start to finish we were greeted and served by incredibly attentive and friendly staff. The food was first class quality and we loved the added touches/compliments. As a vegetarian I was really pleased with how much flavour each meal packed and the range of options. My non-vegetarian partner was blown away by the freshness of ingredients and flavour of his meal too. The location feels incredibly special and the views of the grounds are just so relaxing. We will definitely be back to share this wonderful experience with friends and family.

Exceptional food of Michelin star quality. The service was friendly and relaxed and the timing of each course flowed well. The infusion of flavours was excellent and not overly complicated. Congratulations to Head Chef John Barber and Front of House Manager Scott Foster and their teams for delivering a beautiful dining experience.

A lovely meal, we enjoyed the tasting menu and will definitely be back.

A long leisurely January lunch. The restaurant overlooks the lake and the hall, stunning, as was the food. The set lunch is amazing value at £39 for 3 courses. Highly recommended

Lovely food and excellent service would highly recommend. Soufflé was excellent. Beautiful views as well.

Fabulous good at the very elegant and cosy place.

What a great way to spend the build up to the big day. Had a perfect Saturday night. Every time we go to Auberge du Lac it gets better and better The atmosphere is relaxed, the team amazing and the food delicious Thanks to Aimee, Scot and Bilal, all so professional and yet so very friendly Scot recommended a bottle of Beaume which was the best ever, just went perfectly with what we ordered Can’t wait to return Happy Christmas Cheers Nigel & Karen

Idyllic setting, supreme food and flawless service. A special place.

This place was a huge disappointment and the food was terrible. Everything tasted of salt overload.

Lunch with a group of friends. Lovely house with views over the park. Service was great, friendly and efficient. Enjoyed the food, all nicely presented.

The Auberge has dramtically changed versus months ago - John Berber the chef has changed the menus and more importantly the quality. OK its not West End but getting there!! We have had 2 dinners for 4 and then 8 in past 3 weeks. Absolutely perfect. As I am into food I asked re how various dishes were in fact prepared - Chef was with us explaining all the hows etc Would thoroughly recommend the Gavi de Gavi white - excellent!! We had on both visits the Thurs/Friday special dinners at ca £39 per head - - you cannot get better value and if you are in a group just ask re a menu for your group as we did. We await the special dinners when they return in Jan!

Not bad, just could be better. Some good food. We went for Sunday lunch. We were brought out some lovely rosemary bread for pre starters, I then had a a tasty veloute ( posh word for soup! ), then a very nicely cooked beef done pink. Desserts were a bit underwhelming. Service was friendly, personable but unfortunately rather amateurish. Can be difficult to define good service, but I think it includes always checking with diners a few mins after serving if all is okay - which didn’t happen. Also I think waiters should always been able to clearly describe the dishes. For example we asked what the tonka dessert was and got a garbled description of something that was “weird”, “unique”, and “immense” - which didn’t really help the decision making process! The building is a lovely, old structure right on a lake, which I expect would be glorious on a summer evening. Decor inside is rather tired looking though. I think it could be great, probably just a matter of training up their staff better as they seemed pretty nice people really and maybe thinking about how to get the desserts giving a bit more bang for their buck. Wish them success and maybe try them out again next year, if this review hasn’t upset them too much and they make a few improvements!

Lunch was a joy. Welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and the desserts were a taste sensation. Highly recommended! Will be back.

Absolutely fabulous food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend

We went there to celebrate my mum’s birthday, I forgot to mention my mum can’t eat gluten but it was absolutely no problem to accommodate her. Staff was professional and super nice 👌 food was excellent 👌 Also we went there with our 2 months baby so we were a bit nervous but staff was so lovely and make sure we all feel welcome and relaxed. We will definitely come back :) thank you very much 🥰

The staff reception was very good and service was excellent. We chose from the A La carte menu and had tasty beautifully presented food. Most enjoyable and the wine list was simple and reasonably priced. Nothing pretentious.

A slightly bizarre experience - we were welcomed warmly, taken to our table, and given a menu for pre-dinner drinks. No food menus were brought. We ordered drinks, which arrived, but still no menus! So we asked for them. No wine list brought. So we asked for one. All rather odd. The starters were mixed - a bland crab risotto, a rather vinegary tartare, an excellent parfait and a crispy egg which needed to be runnier, but was tasty, if too salty. The odd service continued: three of the four of us had finished do the waiter cleared our plates including the one of our friend who hadn’t finished, who was left holding a cracker in her hand! The mains were again mixed and generally over salty. The ravioli were excellent; the steak good but in a sauce which was heavy handed on the seasoning, the fish pleasant, again slightly salty and verging on the overcooked. We had chocolate soufflé for pudding - generally well-made and tasty, but again the service was odd - an ice cream was pushed into it at the table by the waiter which caused a good amount of soufflé to fall inelegantly onto the serving plate; the cheese plate was an interesting but small selection of well-kept cheese. Good petit fours (though we were surprised that one containing nuts was offered to us all despite one of us not eating nuts, which we had mentioned). So probably four stars over all, but only just. It’s good to see the restaurant open again but based on this experience, while it’s fine dining, it’s got some way to go to reach the standard of cooking I’m sure they’d like to aspire to.

Was here for a family birthday treat. Both food and service were excellent. We were made to feel special and the setting and environment was fantastic.

Me and my husband went to auberge du lac for the first time for my husband’s 50th birthday treat. We had the 7 course tasting menu with the wine flight. It was absolutely sensational and we can’t wait to return. Beautiful setting and very romantic french atmosphere. Excellent service. 10/10 form us! Food was off the dial here are some pic’s

Absolutely delicious meal. In particular the crab rissotto, steak and desserts were outstanding. Service was also great, made us feel so relaxed and welcome. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner so special.

This was our first visit since the reopening and we will definitely come again. A warm welcome and then very attentive and timely service throughout the meal. The staff explained what each dish was and were clearly very pleased to do so. We each had the set menu and opted (almost) for a different dish for each course so we got an excellent overview of the quality of the cooking. No complaints. So glad to see it up and running again.

Great service, lovely setting just incredibly disappointing food. Tasteless, warm, extremely small portions just very poor in general. We will not be returning. Service was brilliant. Such a shame!

Such a pity the food overall was very poor. All hot dishes were served tepid. Fish barely cooked inside , too salty & slimy. Minute portion of rolled chicken covered in flower petals and cream "tasteless" Pastry case very hard. Duck pate looked so unappetising, couldn't eat it. On the positive side. Venue and grounds beautiful. Service good.

Very good lunch, great views from the outside terrace, good price for the quality.

Are here a few weeks ago for a friends birthday. Stunning views and the food was great. Service was perfect and the quality of ingredients were fantastic. A must for Sunday lunch!

RAW COLD FOOD. Very disappointed. Set lunch was pre-prepared. Pate was tasteless, slimy & poorly presented. Cod was cold & raw in the middle, had to send it back. Incredibly salty. We were shocked at the poor standard & lack of care. Terrible

Food very good- presentation, textures, flavours , Service was faultless, and the views across the lake wonderful. This was our first visit since chef John Barber joined , and we were greatly impressed.

Updating my review following a perfect lunch this weekend. It has reopened as good as ever. Scot and the team deliver the same friendly, enthusiastic, expert service. And the food matched the service in quality. £39 set lunch on certain days is brilliant value. 2018: Cracking dinner with superb food and lovely service

So disappointing. Went for 80th birthday. We have been many times before it closed and there was an elegant standard. Sadly this is now missing. It is clear that the staff have not been trained for this restaurant. We arrived and had to wait a...

Superbly cooked and presented lunch for 4, with friendly service. We were impressed and happy! It was a pleasure to meet and chat with the Head Chef, John and we wish him well. Good to support locally and absolutely worth coming and experiencing! 👍🏻

Came here for birthday lunch - its been 4 years since last visit (its been closed for many reasons) but got exactly the same experience as then - excellent. All the staff are very friendly and we asked for an outside table near the lake...

We enjoyed a lovely sunny Sunday lunch today. Just felt the need to give what I hope will be helpful feedback to your staff and chefs. The food in the main was very well presented and of a very high standard. But It would be...

We went for an 18th birthday meal. It was definitely a culinary and sensory experience! The food was amazing (only gripe was that the main course could have been hotter!). We were worried about the portion sizes (posh food can look superb but be a little small) but were pleasantly surprised that they were larger than anticipated. The staff were excellent throughout. Nothing was a problem, they were happy to chat briefly and were full of smiles. One noisy table did upset us at one point, but the staff were very quick to request they tone it down. The welcome snack (something with pea and avocado) was delicious, as were the petit fours at the end (and since we don't eat in high end restaurants very often we did not know or expect these). Starters were delicious. Duck parfait, ricotta tart, scallops, sea bass. Such a lot of flavour! Mains were fantastic. Beef, lamb, haddock, risotto and sides of salad and Garden veg. Desserts superb. Strawberry, chocolate mint. Yes of course this all came at a price but for a super special event it was worth it.

Just perfect for a birthday celebration. Thanks for a great evening.

The location is second to none in stunning grounds close to the lake. Service was attentive and friendly. The dining experience started with two delicious amuse bouche served prior to arrival of the starter. The menu is limited but It was unanimously decided by our...

Lovely Sunday lunch on the terrace in the sun. Stunning food, beautifully presented with great service. Very enjoyable.

We had Sunday lunch at Auberge du Lac and the food and hospitality was incredible! Stepping up to the building it seemed very low key, but as you walk in and go downstairs to the dining area, the dining room and outdoor area (where we had our meal) were really picturesque. Bilal was great as our host - friendly, welcoming, funny and great to chat to! The location was fantastic too - just over the river from the golf clubhouse, the quaint building which the restaurant was in offered great views back across to the golf club. The food was really well presented and tasted as good as it looked (it was a shame to ruin some of the dishes by sticking cutlery into it!) There was something for everyone too with a good mix of meat, pasta and other vegetarian options on the menu. A great experience! Well worth the price. Thanks again to Bilal and the team for being so welcoming and making our meal memorable.

What a lovely evening as usual. They really are working towards a very warm and welcoming place to meet and eat. Aperitifs on the river terrace is a must Lovely watching Bilal working so hard helping the younger staff. George was great, very informative and charming. Good for them when recruiting is so difficult these days in the entertainment industry Amy at front of house is superb As for the food, say no more Looking forward to returning very soon Warm Regards Nigel & Karen Bass

Lovely staff. Amazing food. Brilliant location. Excellent. Good value.

We came for dinner last night to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Wow what an evening. We started with drinks over looking the beautiful lake and stunning manicured lawns, then went inside for a meal, but still had a gorgeous view. The service from Scott (in...

We we’re lucky enough to dine here during their soft opening. We had a delicious meal and could not fault it in any way. Scott was particularly attentive, he recommended an incredible Argentinian Malbec which paired with the lamb that we enjoyed on the night. We’ll look forward to returning soon.

I researched a few places looking for somewhere special to take my mother in law. I was after good food, good service and a beautiful setting. I'm so glad I didn't pay attention to some of the negative reviews about the restaurant as we were...

Stunning just let down by front of house staff upstairs weren’t trained, hoping it will improve

What a fabulous lunch here, the new chef has compiled a menu that is difficult to choose from. Whilst all 3 courses were of the quality we expected from Auberge (perfectly cooked scallops and cod) the dessert was a show stopper. The front of house staff are attentive and relaxed, add in the beautiful surroundings and it's a lunch not to be missed.

The place has a new chef so we had high hopes. Overall the food was poor, menu limited and the environment was tired and the staff pleasant but junior. We went as a family of four with a teenager and a 6 year old. There...

Found the food excellent and a good wine selection at reasonable prices.

It's been many years since I last dined at this restaurant. Happily, today I was treated to the Mother's Day lunch menu by my son and daughter-in-law. What an absolutely delicious meal of, canapés, tasty bread selection, mains and exquisite desert. The flavours were well...

Went to a tasting event 3/3/23 and it was truly disappointing. After closing for a few years, it was sad to see all the same musty furniture & curtains. Not a single thing had changed including the carpets. At a price of £95 p/p for...

Valentines night - we understand it’s a pop up prior to the main opening. We’ve supported previous incarnations of auberge over the years with Christoff and others and so keen to try and spend our money locally. Venue is amazing - staff trying so hard and no bad marks for effort. Reality was food was in the main ok but too salty on the fish and beef dishes. Wine was explained as limited which was fine but then to find the gavi Di gavi had run out and Pinot Grigio was the alternative …. Come on. We’re not having much luck in restaurants lately as a recent trip to the grandison for a burns night was a complete joke with 2 haggis provided for the whole guest list. We also went to the bricklayers arms in Flaunden last Saturday - OMG - if any of the other gastro pubs or 5* restaurants want to try and survive - I suggest you go there - 11/10 for everything - food, quality wine by the glass ( not cheap rubbish) and service- amazing. Finally back to auberge- it would have been nice for the head chef to have come around the tables to take feedback- Alas it didn’t happen- answer is less salt, make sure you have a wine range in stock and then we wish you well and hope it’s a success

Really disappointing. Although the food was actually really good the place really needs a major overhaul. The interior is so dated, and the smell as you enter is like a school canteen. The waiter asked if we wanted to see the wine list but quickly...
