Berry's Restaurant & Bar in South Bucks

The food was freshly cooked to order and hot. The menu choice is for everyone. The chef does wonders with the food

I have reviewed our eating experience in my review of the hotel in which this restaurant is. We enjoyed the position of the restaurant and the ambiance of the room.

Thank You Chef - The food was excellent and a really good selection of vegetarian starters and mains. Lovely presentation and lots of great taste but a special note for the Chocolate Fondant which had gooey warm chocolate in the middle of a light tasty sponge with burnt orange gel, which had such a lovely intense flavour, combined with the chocolate and lovely grand mariner ice cream was an absolute 5 star crowd pleaser. Special mention for the lovely service from the young lady who served us on wednesday evening.

Amazing dinner, wine cannot say how lovely the evening was! Best steak ever cooked to perfection Yavuz Hasyildirim is a diamond

Just over 20 guests had afternoon tea here. The food was ok apart from the deconstructed carrot cake ( I jokingly called it decomposed!). The service was hectic to say the least. A few guests had dietary requirements and it all went up the spout. Vegan was given salmon and buttery cakes, vegetarian had a ham sandwich and gluten free scones (which wasn't needed). It took a while before everyone had the correct food. The setting is lovely though and as I have no dietary requirements, I would probably go back.

Greek chef excelled artichoke soup, roast pork ,chocolate fondant. Taplow House definitely worth consideration

I can only say that it was fantastic food!!Well deserved Michelin Star RestaurantThank you chef!!I highly recommend this restaurant for a any occasions .Just fantastic food and vet good service.Well knowledgeable staff about food and drinks.Well done to restaurant manager Monica!! Excellent service.

We had afternoon tea when we arrived, absolutely lovely, all fresh. We then had dinner which was very good indeed, loads of choice, the presentation was first rate and everything was delicious. The service was very good too. Next morning we had a great breakfast, the cooked item were absolutely lovely, perhaps one small comment the continental buffet could have more choice and be a bit more extensive. We would certainly eat there again.

We got married here 22yrs ago and despite living locally have not been back! Husband booked a surprise meal for Valentine's. Beautiful meal, tables were well spaced for private conversation, staff were lovely and lots of thoughtful complimentary extras, including a rose and glass of champagne. Thank you!

Lovely hotel beautiful grounds ,could do with a few more real paintings as they removed many a few years agoSo. Now it looks like a library but still very pleasant. The restaurant is pretty and overlooks the grounds, the staff very welcoming and the waiter was helpful and just perfect.The food was nouvel cuisine type of presentation, I found it too fussy too many tastes on On the plate , it looked beautiful and work had gone into making it look attractive, the steak was nice But the veggies were presented as works of art, with a confusion of tastes, and small blobs all over the plate, the starter of scallops was tasty but again take a few of the blobs away..we had complimentary bread I think it was all toasted Perhaps to revive it, and an amuse Bouche which was complimentary as well and that was very tasty, if they sort out the food a bit more make it less fussy they could be onto a winner if they don’t I won’t go back. The bar food has good food.the wine was good as well.The price with one glass of champagne and one glass of wine each £140 for two for that I expect decent food.

Thoroughly enjoyed the bread rolls with home made tapenades! We had a salad and mackerel starter, which were very tasty. Our main was cod cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Lovely dessert, unusual pudding with basil ice-cream. Would come back for dinner!

Stayed at the Taplow hotel and had dinner here on Saturday night. 3 courses. The food was excellent and I would happily recommend.

A pretty quintessentially English setting, if the weather permits you can sit outside looking over the mature garden.

Great service, ad very accommodating. I was staying at the hotel, it was cold so I did not feel like going outside to eat.I did not have a reservation si I asked the lobby and they accommodate me. The food was great, and the staff was awesome. Very friendly,

We had pre booked afternoon tea. Our reception was friendly and we were offered a choice of teas and coffee. The cakes and sandwiches looked delicious and were every bit as good as they looked. Our drinks were replenished without a fuss as was our jam and cream for the scones. We were not pressured to move after finishing our tea. A lovely afternoon.

Some what faded location not rescued by historic tulip tree and grounds . With new carpets and redecoration plus more facilities and larger bedrooms this Hotel might be worth a try but seems to be trading on location to survive

Habiendo vivido en la zona de toda mi vida, y nunca supe que este lugar existía, me pareció en línea para un té por la tarde especial para mi madrina, y yo estaba tan contento que decidí intentarlo!

Elegant feel, impeccable service! Food good but would have enjoyed a couple of simpler options as well

Así que de vez en cuando nos gusta un té por la tarde en familia. Esta vez nuestra elección era este buen establecimiento. Que ha estado aquí antes en un par de ocasiones para reuniones de negocios, cenas, que confiaba en lo que debería ser una buena experiencia. Este no fue el caso esta vez.

A really delightful evening meal set in a lovely restaurant which overlooks the lovely grounds of the Hotel while enjoying our Aperitif on the patio we browsed the Menu which very English. When we moved into the restaurant we were greeted by a warm welcome from every member of staff and this continued throughout the evening. We started with a fantastic Bread selection before our lovely starters of a Beef Tartare & Ham Hock Terrine we then moved onto the mains which were Cod Fillet & Chips...

Una cena realmente encantador situado en un encantador restaurante, que tiene vistas a los jardines del hotel mientras disfruta de nuestro aperitivo en el patio que nos levantase el menú que es muy inglés. Cuando nos instalamos en el restaurante nos recibió una cálida bienvenida de cada miembro del personal y esto continuó durante toda la noche. Empezamos con una fantástica selección de pan antes de empezar nuestra preciosa tartare de carne y jamón Terrina de shock nos mudamos a la red que eran filete de bacalao y patatas con Cordero y mi adorable Samphire lomo con patatas y cerveza Boulangere increíble estofado de chalotes, acompañados por una buena botella de vino de la casa Berri Estates. Luego vinieron los postres un especialemten y mi compota de ruibarbo Aceite de Oliva Tarta terminamos con café y Petit Fours en el salón. Tengo que decir que la calidad de la comida que ofrecen era realmente buena y también con el servicio amable hizo una velada como parte de nuestra estancia de una noche

He comido en el restaurante y en el bar, diferentes menús. Comida para el bar estaba preparado y presentado con el mismo cuidado que en el restaurante. La elección no es extenso, pero en concentrarme en unos pocos platos, son capaces de ofrecer una calidad excelente, el pescado era particularmente agradable. La compota de ruibarbo no era unconstructed universalmente aplaudido como uno de los partido, llegó menos una jarra de natilla! Fue precioso.

El té de la tarde reservado para las 2.30 pm en un sábado - hay un montón de aparcamiento y el hotel está situado alrededor de los jardines y la entrada es fácil de encontrar, llegamos nosotros tres y nos sentó rápidamente - el restaurante tiene vistas a los jardines que en el verano.

Una buena variedad de comida para elegir en el menú solo a medida que siga la tendencia para, por ejemplo, comida cocina nouvelle porciones más pequeñas que encontramos nos werestill hambre después de la cena.

El restaurante no tenía disponibilidad, así que comimos en el bar. Mi servidor, Edgar dio el servicio más atento que me he encontrado, y yo viajo a menudo por trabajo. Era de primera categoría y recomiendo encarecidamente visitar sólo por el servicio.

Este restaurante está dentro de la casa. Taplow La comida y el servicio eran excelentes. Los productos de procedencia local y se nota con el menú Presentación cómo. Comer aquí todos los días si pudiera

A really tasty afternoon served on the terrace as it was a beautiful day. Attentive but unobtrusive waiting staff.

Lovely little dining room with views over the gardens. Delicious freshly prepared meals. Good variety on the menu.

I have eaten in the restaurant on numerous occasions and it has always been excellent. The staff is attentive and even with large parties, they seem to be able to serve rapidly.The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food served.I would definitely recommend the restaurant. You'll also enjoy the view and surrounding area which is lovely.

It used to be a bit hit and miss in the past but for the past months of monthsIt used to be hit and miss, in the past few months it has been very enjoyable, I phone to make sure there is not a wedding on or a big event on, the staff are helpful The food lovely, worth a visit

The waiter seemed attentive then forgot our water. The food looked good but tasted ok, The type of food they serve should taste fabulous but it didn't. It's expensive too for what it is. The portions are two small. I weigh 8st and eat very little so if I say the portions are too small, then trust me they are too small. It has the potential to be so much better.

Fantastic restaurant and a super Hotel. I have stayed here on various occasions and it has never let me down. The restaurant is super for both special occasions or business. Would definitely reccomend

We ate in the restaurant with views over the garden, enjoyed a lovely 2 course meal there which we felt was very good value.

We ate here for our wedding menu tasting. The food was amazing and the staff were lovely. The views over the grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere.

We have been coming to Taplow House Hotel every year for around 4 years now for a large family lunch for around 40-50 people in a private dining room. Every time, everything has been perfect! The room is beautiful, always with access to the lovely grounds for the children to play in after the meal. The menu choice & quality of the food in fantastic, especially for the price. The service is also very welcoming & helpful, even with such a large group of us! Overall, I cannot recommend the hotel enough for the friendly service, excellent food & great value for money! Thank you Taplow House & see you again later in the year!

My daughter suffers from 2 chronic conditions which causes many food allergies. I booked this restaurant several months ago, having ascertained that they could manage her food allergies, as eating out can pose some challenges at times. I spoke to the events manager last week & we organised a menu that she could eat but the chef tonight obviously had no idea of this & was rather loud in his disapproval. It transpired that we had to leave the restaurant without eating.We live very close to Taplow House Hotel & really like the venue & the food that we have been served there but I have to say that the service has been consistently poor. Basically the front of house lets down the venue & the quality of food that the kitchens can produce.

I had a room booked a room within Taplow House so made sense to use the facilities on site. The bar was stocked with premium spirits and the bartender was helpful with his suggestions. The restaurant had gods food and good service. The food was locally sourced, seasonal and varied making it very tasty. Would return. Correction am returning next year

Stayed in the hotel, I understand you can book the Restaurant without being a hotel guest. Menu is not extensive but adequate for all tastes - five starters, several main meat dishes, one or two fish dishes, one chicken and one vegetarian risotto dish, all fresh food. Desserts were different, and the cheese board was delicious!

Thought the afternoon tea was a very high standard the scones were delicious. The food was presented very well with a good selection of teas.Plenty of room for wheelchair users and they have a ramp to get into main door of the hotel.Staff were all very attentive and happy to get you extra tea if you want it.We had a bottle of prosecco which is better value (depending on how many of you) than paying for a champagne afternoon tea.

Overall a superb Sunday luncheon enjoyed with great food, professional yet unobtrusive service. Mother was impressed - even at 89 years young !!!She thought the setting was wonderful, having a table overlooking the terrace and gardens.

My friends and I took advantage of the November offer on Afternoon tea - all 10 of us! The service was friendly and efficient and we were seated in a lovely light room with views over the terrace. The tea comprised of tasty finger sandwiches and some of the tastiest warm scones any of us had tasted, in addition to several pretty cakes - a really nice range to feast the eyes and tastebuds. Extra clotted cream and jam were produced at regular intervals, and when we had eaten our fill the leftovers were packed to take home for our birthday girl.We felt very comfortable and pampered and I would definitely recommend for a special treat in a lovely location.

Love the fillet steak though last time i went it had been taken off (big mistake) Breakfast were very very good

As the hotel had weddings on Friday and Saturday we could only use the restaurant for our last breakfast on site. Having to use the buffet down stairs. The rooms have always strum me as beautiful and well maintained

Anniversary lunch & birthday celebration on a sunday at Taplow House Hotel. Mussels & Clams for starter, succulent pork belly for main, the chef in our party could not praise the food enough. Fantastic service, and we did not even notice until leaving the other large, anniversary party as even the guests were charming.

I booked Berry's restaurant for my wife birthday and overall we had a very enjoyable and nice dinner experience. The booking for the table was made very easy and unlike other restaurants I know, I was not forced to buy a specially made cake for my wife, but instead offered to write "happy birthday" on the table of either dessert she would fancy. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the reception who directed us to the restaurant. We arrived early so we had a drink at the bar before hand and we used to time to select whatever food we fancied on the day. Everyone was very attentive to us and that made the whole experience even more relaxed. The restaurant was extremely quiet, so I would not be able to judge on a busy day, please bear this in mind.The decor and the environment is extremely relaxing and we were placed on a table overlooking the garden which we fully enjoyed. The menu itself was plentiful and reasonably priced. I could only recommend to go for the 3 courses dinner. The main reason for me to say that, is mainly due to the fact that this restaurant has good portions, but not so much that you feel full after the starter. I truly enjoyed the fact that we could appreciate a three course dinner without feeling full after only the starter. I had the gazpacho which was ok (but not quite to the same level as the one I had in Sevilla few years ago), the ribeye steak and a coffee for dessert. My wife enjoyed the sundried tomato croquettes which was absolutely lovely, baby chicken for main and the meringue for dessert.Overall the food is of good quality and the experience was extremely enjoyable. I would definitely recommend if you looking for a nice and quiet restaurant serving a well balanced dinner.

Had booked breakfast/dinne package first 2 nights, but disappointed with food. Cold atmosphere in restaurant, although staff did their best

The food in the restaurant was fantastic and was good value considering the quality. The chef and his team have put together very good menu, which was beautifully cooked and presented with very helpful and attentive staff on hand.We had meant to take pictures of the dishes, but were rather too busy eating the contents! This applied to the English breakfast the next morning as well!We were seated next to one of the very large windows in the light and airy restaurant which afforded us a lovely view over the front garden and a couple of rabbits that were frolicking around during both meals!

Afternoon tea at Berrys in the Taplow House Hotel does ok in an area where there is a lot of competition. Nothing exceptional though - we were there on a rainy Sunday bright sunshine on the terrace would have been quite different perhaps.Service was disappointing curt and almost grudging. "May we have that table by the window?" "It needs making up!" "We can wait!"

Wow! If you like delicious food in luxurious surroundings, then this is definitely a must. The gardens, set against a beautiful country mansion, makes for a wonderful dining environment. Staff are very attentive and service is outstanding. Don't miss out!

We were staying at the hotel for a few days and just ate the breakfast here.Considering the cooked breakfast cost £16, you don't get a lot for your money. The food is pretty average in quality and you would be better off going to Wetherspoons. The service was friendly and unobtrusive.

Went down to bolterslock for a lovely walk and popped in the bar for a meal. The meal was very nice but the language from the staff while they where talking amount themselves wasn't very nice and spoilt the experience.

I booked Berry's for my birthday celebration with friends and wasn't disappointed.Adam and his staff looked after us so well from the moment we arrived. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. And the poached egg starter was perfection on a plate!Thank you for making my birthday celebration very special.

Just simply amazing. A wonderful set meal with fine champagne! Great views of the well kept lawns! Try the egg starter! Sublime! Great service from Greek girl Sarah!

My wife and I went there for our anniversary meal on a Tuesday night earlier this month. My wife is Gluten intolerant so I asked about gluten free (GF) meals before booking and was assured that they would have GF options.First impressions were good as it was a lovely spring evening and the hotel looked good in the late evening sun. As we approached the restaurant through the main reception my wife spotted the menu on the wall and took a look at what was on offer (gave her the option of going somewhere else if he really wasn't happy and reassured her that I had spoken to them in advance about GF).The restaurant isn't that large but there are very large mirrors on the walls creating a feeling of more space. As it was my wife and I were the only dinners so service was good and we had a lovely table by the window,There was background piano music which varied in volume and at times was way too loud.When we were presented the menus I mentioned my earlier booking conversation about GF and we were told that there wasn't specific GF foods but most could be provided in a GF form.The menus we were shown had different options to what was on the wall outside and on their own website! Apparently trying out some new options.Hot rolls and butter were provided on the table but no GF options, not a good start!Main meal was fine, my wife had chicken so not an issue.When the desert menu arrived there were no GF options so my wife again asked what was available. Told again that could have GF option. My wife ordered the pistachio cake. Came minus the cake, not really GF cooking when you just take away the part in the meal that has gluten in it.

We ate here on Thursday evening and our waitress gave us the best possible service. The food was all good but the poached egg starter was absolutely sublime.

The food was excellent and the service very good. The ceremony was extremely well conducted and controlled

I have just signed up to TripAdvisor because I felt I simply had to write a review of the dinner I had at Berry's on Friday night (17 April 2015) with my girlfriend. We were staying a night at the Taplow House Hotel where the restaurant is located. It was an absolutely excellent experience. Delicious food - all three courses: I had the haddock starter, pork belly main, and then the white chocolate cheesecake dessert. And the service was so so impressive - our waitress, Gina (?), was one of the best waitresses I have ever come across, so friendly and attentive! I would definitely recommend Berry's for a romantic dinner, and would hope to visit again myself soon! Thank you so much again!

All good. What more can I say. Service spot on. 3 great courses and I personally could have eaten anything off the menu. Draft beers as well which is important and my wife enjoyed the wine.

Sitting room with a lovely place and people around. You can have a great time and conversation and a fantastic irish coffee.

Lovely relaxing music played in background. Attentive waiting staff. I do love to have linen tablecloths and napkins makes the dining experience. Presentation and taste of food were excellent. 2 courses were £27 or 3 courses for £32 I thought was great value.Would highly recommend and will definitely go again.

We were offered a meal at Berry's restaurant to make up for our experience at the dreadful Woofy's bar located in the same building. We were not disappointed as Berry's is everything you would expect from a quality hotel. The menu has a good selection of dishes & the food arrived promptly, served piping hot on properly warmed plates. A nice touch is the locally-made crispy bread buns which are the best I have ever had! The wine list is extensive and there is a selection of beers on offer.The desserts look fantastic but we did not have room to try any, unfortunately. There is adequate parking and the picturesque setting makes it attractive for a romantic evening or stay at the hotel. Disabled access to the restaurant would be easy but I forgot to ask about the toilet facilities.

Visited Woofy's Bar at Taplow House Hotel on 5 February on a Groupon offer, served with a glass of wine which wasn't very nice, and then waited 45 mins for first course and 35 mins for second course, others around us waited best part of two hours for their food - food was really nice when it eventually came, but the standard of service was very very slow - most people were complaining to the only two waiters serving, one guy was shouting at the bar as he had to wait an hour for food. If you are going to use Groupon to get more people into your restaurant, you need to ensure you have the correct level of staffing available - simple common sense - wouldn't go back again which is a shame. Take heed Woofy's Bar and get it right before you get any more bad reviews.

Excellent food. Lovely setting. Good service.Loved the food best meal we have had for a long while.We managed 3 courses very impressed.

We came here as part of a deal with the hotel. The food was amazing, limited choice but all things I would have liked to have eaten. The staff were lovely, very professional but friendly. Beautiful setting. We would love to come back.

Our booking was cancelled one hour before our booked time. No apology, no goodwill gesture..ruined my birthday as we were unable to book anywhere else with so little notice. Despite emailing the general manger we have never even had a courtesy response..we will not be visiting again or recommending,

Made a booking a few days ago for my wife's birthday via their website, arranged the babysitter etc.etc. only to be called an hour before the meal and told that actually the restaurant is full and perhaps we'd like to reschedule for another night.NOT happy!!!

Visited this bar /restaurant last night with another couple as a Groupon deal. The atmosphere and ambience were superb. Service was very good, Max was an attentive waiter and combined the right level of attention without us feel hassled to make our minds up over the menu.Presentation of food was excellent and the banana sticky toffee pudding with caramel ice-cream was exquisiteWe will certainly return- an added bonus were the tasteful Christmas decorations which enhanced the elegant luxury of the hotel.

I had a Groupon voucher for two and so took my friend for dinner to this place.The waiter Max (hope I got the name right)welcomed us with a warm smile and was so courteous and polite.We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Max gave us excellent service.We were very pleased.Will visit again.Jenna Mathews

We arrived at the hotel at 2pm to find our room wasn't ready - so opted for lunch while we waited. We had lunch in the restaurant. Two courses for £27. For once we liked the look of the desserts more than the starters. Food was a very good standard - not a huge amount of choice but we thoroughly enjoyed our dishes including the Chef's plate in the form of a taster portion of the terrine as we hadn't ordered starters. Both mains were great (Duck and Pork Belly) but the stand out dish was the White Chocolate Cheesecake - it was deconstructed and each element was fantastic - but then we are both coconut fans! Service was good but not exceptional.

Stopped over on way to the airport. This place is a great find rooms well up to standard staff and service very good with the right balance of formality and personal service. Only two issues no Tabasco for the bloody Mary's and no sweet wine. Why oh why no Muscat to accompany my cheese and rice pudd....... :)

I had a groupon voucher which I'm glad I had because it certainly wasn't worth the £18.95. A very important part to an afternoon tea in my eyes is the tea. Taplow house doesn't offer you a menu of different tea. The waitress only mention a few black teas after we asked what was available. I later found out that they also had jasmine tea and a few others. Would have been nice to try them.Another big issue for me was the fact that I specifically booked for one vegetarian menu. This was confirmed by the waitress when we got seated. However when the tiers arrived I saw the cakes and I knew these weren't all suitable for vegetarian which was confirmed by the waitress once I challenged this. To me this is very disappointing that the vegetarian menu didn't offer cakes.Concerning the service it started well but once the food was one the table no one came to see us at all. I was hoping for a bit more tea but it was never offered. We sat with our empty plates for over 30 minutes. Eventually we called for the bill and left with the empty plates still on the tables. The restaurant itself has a nice decor and the view of the garden were very pleasant. For me, for a luxury afternoon tea they are better place to go to. This afternoon tea isn't bad just not special. But if you are vegetarian please avoid.

There was nothing to dislike. The menu choice is a little limited, but the standard of the food is excellent

we have been here and loved the food.Its reasonably priced and of excellent quality.we would recommend anyone to come and have the afternoon tea as this was amazing!

Well worth a try, food is delicious, fresh and very pretty to look at.£32 for three courses worth every penny

My fiance and I had dinner here 3 nights ago. The food was very, very good. I normally avoid pork meat (don't really like it that much) but had this and was not disappointed. The dish is a duo ok pork loin and pork belly, which was cooked almost to perfection. Presentation of all three courses was good, food tasted even better. And the best part is that if you arrive early enough or make a reservation, you can choose one of the tables overlooking the beautiful gardens, which adds to your culinary experience. The staff are very nice, knowledgeable and eager to serve. You may want to dress up just a tad bit when you go here - you will feel like you are having a fine dining experience, and I must say that their choice of food on the menu is not far off from being called fine dining. Highly recommended in Taplow. Lots of parking available as well as outdoor seating if you are going for drinks only.

Set Sunday lunch was just above average. It would not have been so had I not has a Tastecard which gave my wife and I a 50% discount. The helpings were generous but the roast beef was a bit overcooked. The desert was tasteless. Shame that the restaurant was almost empty (not the hotel's fault). Service was OK but basics were lacking like no mustard on tables. I think they will get there but a bit more panache is needed to do justice to a fine building and a lovely setting. We will try again.

The location is amazing and service is great, shame the food is very average and far too expensive. The crab salad had no dressing at all, and the lamb pink and very fat. All in all, a pub lunch would have been more good value for money. A disappointing experience on Mother's Day...

From the moment my family and I arrived we were greeted by friendly and knowledgable staff. The food was first class and great value for money. We were stuck on wine and the head waiter suggested a fantastic French red. Thank you for an enjoyable evening, we will be back and have already recommended to friends.

Special dinner menu with added extras, champagne cocktail, champagne sorbet and box of chocs. Food was superb, cooked to perfection and service attentive but not intrusive. Very impressed, will go back

We had the restaurant to ourselves which I think is a reflection of its popularity. It is set in an elegant room and being able to choose the table and level of music was a bonus. The menu choice is limited. I suspect that there is one kitchen serving the whole hotel and it's prime focus is not Berry's. With conferences staying at the hotel the kitchen will be primarily geared to ensuring conference delegate dinners are catered for efficiently. Our waiter as much hinted at that as the timing of our various courses arriving was somewhat random considering we were the only diners. The food was fine if a little over cooked in places but not fine dinning. The wine list is limited.Not a restaurant you could see having a regular clientele .

We enjoyed the whole dining experience. The starter of scallops on a pork belly sitting on a pea puree was absolutely delicious!

Very little wine on wine list availableFood was over cookedService was dreadfulNice setting but we were rushed off the sunny patio and into the restaurant as the chef wanted to go home early.

Having seen the pictures of The Taplow Hotel and the details of Berry's restaurant on their website I thought what a good place to go for an elegant meal with my wife. Pre Valentines Day as I thought it may be to busy on that day as the restaurant was advertising a special Valentines menu.Arriving at the hotel at 8:00pm which you approach from a winding driveway there was about 6 cars in the car park and with the hotels elevated position you could see lights in just about every window, but unfortunately the exterior lighting was not on. The 6 acres of grounds which are to the right were full of nice little bunny rabbits hopping around in the shadows who quickly darted away as we walked to the hotel. Now hereby lies a problem, where was the entrance. It is obviously quite clear in daylight but in the dark we had no idea that what was ahead of us with stone stairs leading to large terraces was in fact the back of the hotel with the entrance being right round the other side. Walking along like lost souls we looked in each window and there was no sign of anybody in the building which was not what we had expected. Having eventually found the front door we were immediately greeted and shown to the restaurant through a timber panelled bar with a roaring fire devoid of any people and into a grand dining room (Berry’s Restaurant) which had to our relief another couple eating, so we were not alone.We were presented with the al a carte menu which was limited to 5 starters, 5 mains and 5 desserts at a fixed price of £23.95 for two courses or £27.95 for three courses. This was rather disappointing as we had expected more choice from a restaurant awarded a two AA Rosette status.The service was quick and efficient and we were soon drinking a reasonable bottle of French red wine priced at £19.00. Our starters of smoked salmon with a poached egg on top and pate were good and the continuous supply of hot bread rolls was most welcome. The main courses of plaice and chicken breasts which arrived with the Maitre de being followed by a butler carrying two plates each covered by a highly polished domed cover were placed in front of us by the Maitre de and then the domes removed to reveal the main courses. Nothing exciting here and rather disappointing in presentation and taste considering the pomp and ceremony involved in its serving. Dessert of Crème brulee with a shortbread biscuit and a fresh strawberry was very good.Having paid the bill £80 plus tip we retraced our steps through the hotel and back to the car park. Again not a soul in sight either inside or outside of the Hotel but the rabbits were still there with their wet fur glistening in the rain.I understand that this is a great venue for weddings and from what we could see in the dark of the lawns and the grand areas within the hotel it would certainly be ideal in that respect. As a stand alone restaurant disappointing and have graded accordingly.

Set in a boutique type hotel with lovely views of the grounds the restaurant could have potential. We were the only diners on a mid week day which is fine for me but I feel sorry for the staff and restaurant. The menu seemed interesting and good value but unfortunately that was all. Starter of Goats cheese on salad was very plain and nothing special. Onto the main and the lamb was fine but the potatoes were slightly underdone which is not excusable for any chef. So not a memorable experience but with a few glasses of white was a pleasant enough lunch!

A lovely feel to this restaurant - i think the views looking out over 6 acres of green landscape, must be great during the summer.The al a carte menu was varied, with lots of choice.We Would recommend the iced nougatine dessert.

Not overly impressed with this place at all. It was absolutely dead, which is never a good sign. I ordered the pigeon breast for starter - it was very tough with no flavour. For main, I had the lamb - was 70% fat and came out luke warm with underdone potatoes and asparagus that had been boiled to death. My partner had the same and, with the least expensive wine, the bill came to over £100. Had we not had 50% off food with Tastecard, I suspect my comments would be a little stronger! The place has got the potential to be exceptional, I don't know why it was so poor. Will not be visiting again.

We ate at Berry restaurant as part of our food tasting menu for our wedding breakfast. All the choices we tasted were delicious and service and advice given during our meal was excellent.

A wonderful experience. The staff were friendly, relaxed and attentive. The champagne afternoon tea was lovely. We stayed for ages and they did not pressure us in any way to hurry up and leave. A thousand times better than the other large establishment in Taplow!Thankyou.

There is a very relaxed atmosphere in this restaurant. We had fillet steak which was cooked to perfection and the hand cut chips were amazing. Followed with hot chocolate fondant and coconut ice-cream.

food was nice, dining room was nice, hotel and rooms were nice,you would be safe taking the mother-in-law there.

Steak cooked well, chips were amazing & excellent service

I booked for afternoon tea as I was waiting for the commencement of an evening reception at the Taplow House hotel. The staff were very charming and the service throughout was particularly impressive-hugely polite and attentive. I wanted to linger over my tea and at no point was I in any way rushed. Offers to refill my teapot were forthcoming. Granted, it wasn't the best selection of cakes and sandwiches I had ever had but the service and the views out over the stunning hotel grounds more than made up for this.

I live locally and occasionally dine at other hotel restaurants in the area (Cliveden, Danesfield) and decided to give Berry's a try for Sunday lunch with a friend. Although Berry's isn't as luxurious as some of its neighbours' dining rooms - the decor is slightly tired and a bit old-fashioned - we had a really nice Sunday lunch and would thoroughly recommend it. It was refreshing to be offered free still or sparking water, and a full bread basket containing several very tasty breads - again, free. Our menu had three choices of starter, main and dessert. We had three courses for a very good value £18, which included a delicious and well-presented version of the traditional Sunday roast. The list of wines by the glass was sufficient and once again it was a nice surprise not to be stung on the wine price - average was about £4.00-£5.00 a glass. The food was of a very good quality and well-flavoured, with substantial portions that didn't leave us hungry. It wasn't amazing food, but it was good. The staff were friendly and unpretentious. All in all, we had a very nice meal and were pleased with the bill. We left happy and will definitely go again, although I would probably choose somewhere slightly more glamorous for a special occasion.

My partner booked a night at Taplow House Hotel as a birthday treat for me. The hotel itself was fine - good size room, comfy bed, nice grounds etc. The meal which was included in the price of the weekend was however very disapppointing. As it was a Friday night we expected it to be reasonably busy but there were only two other couples eating there, both of which finished and left before we started our main course (not the fault of the hotel but this did give the evening a rather uncomfortable feel).The food itself was not the standard I was expecting, small portions and lacking flavour (very salty rosti). The biggest disappointment though was the fact that the tables around us were being cleared while we ate, making us feel that we should rush to finish eating. It wasn't even as if it was particularly late. Our table was booked for 8pm but by 9pm we felt in the way.Don't think we'll be returning!

If you want a change from gastro pubs, try Berry's the restaurant of the Taplow House Hotel. The dining room is elegant with comfortable tables and seating offering a little space from your fellow diners. The F&B Manager , Michael, doubled as Maitre D on the night we dined and was a charming and amiable host for the evening. In the end though the food has to 'rule' and it came out tops. The menu is not extensive but offers more than adequate choice. There is an obvious emphasis on fresh and local ingredients which are prepared and used in high quality dishes. Our party really enjoyed the three course meal which was incredible value at £25 per head. Highly recommended to all!

Berry's at Taplow House Hotel is a hidden gem. The hotel is on a quiet, winding road north of Taplow, the house itself barely visible, but when you drive through the gates you see a beautiful lawns sweepiong down in front of a quite splendid building.One of the trees is said to have been planted by Elizabeth I. Berry’s restaurant is delightful: quite formal but stylish and complete with chandelier, Tudor rose-themed cornicing and a portrait of Bess herself. There's a set menu at reasonable prices (£22 for two courses, £25 for three) very good value considering the standard and the setting.The menu carries five choices for each course. My friend’s smoked salmon and cream cheese risotto topped with quail’s egg and salmon caviar was creamy and tasty. I had twice-baked crab souffle with a brandy and dill sauce had good texture, lots of flavour, and a very rich sauce. Other starter choices included terrine of venison with prunes soaked in port, and duck liver and foie gras parfait with fig chutney. Home made breads were good, with a choice of butters.My haunch of rabbit with black pudding wrapped in Parma ham on a braised red cabbage with fondant potato was certainly packed with hearty country flavours. Roasted pork belly and tenderloin with creamy mash and mustard sauce was my friend’s choice. The belly fell apart as required, the tenderloin was as tender and sweetly flavoured as it should be. And as in all the dishes we tasted, seasoning and flavouring spot on. For anyone looking for lighter options, there were seared tuna loin, chicken breast and baked goats cheese in puff pastry.Some interesting dishes on the dessert menu: iced banana and pistachio parfait with tempura battered bananas and honeycomb, for example, or passion fruit trifle with an oat and coconut biscuit.But I went for comfort food with Granny Smith apple tart, served with cinnamon custard and apple sorbet. Cooked fresh to order, it was perfectly comforting with the highlight of a very good, tart sorbet.My friend was set on hot chocolate fondant which was light but chocolatey, and the sorbet was fabulous – I tried some and it was deeply fruity with the sweet wine singing the high notes.I was very impressed with the food and the service and felt the restaurant deserved to be busier than it was, but then the hotel caters for lots of corporate events and weddings too so the team is certainly kept busy.
