Chaloner's Restaurant in Redcar and Cleveland

Such a lovely hotel with very friendly & helpful staff. The dining room was excellent & the food was delicious. We would definitely go back.

Very good Sunday lunch with quality ingredients and decent portions. Suggestions to improve would be gravy boats with the lunch, salt cellars with salt in and perhaps some background music.

Visited this restaurant as part of our hotel package and it was fantastic.. lovely food in lovely surroundings with amazing staff we had breakfast and evening meal and no complaints about any of it .. was all cooked and seasoned to perfection and there was a great selection of food both at breakfast and on an evening .

Service was absolutely terrible. We were left waiting 40 minutes for our afternoon tea which was pre booked in Advanced. People who arrived after us were getting served before us and excellent service and check backs, we did not receive this service. The staff ignored our requests and did not check back on our table. After giving us our afternoon tea nobody returned to our table, we had to get up and go to RECEPTION to ask for some more water. I would like to note we were the only people of colour in at the time. I am absolutely disgusted with this service and expected better from an establishment such as guisborough hall. We left feeling singled out and this totally ruined experience.

We ate here while staying at Gisborough Hall and it was the highlight of the stay. There was a great buffet spread and good cooked options at breakfast. The dinner was reasonably priced, imaginative and very tasty. Would recommend.

We were staying in the hotel so dined here. The gentleman head waiter was very attentive and offered great service. He’s a credit to this hotel! The food was absolutely delicious. We only managed 2 courses in the end but each dish was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The duck spring roll or the ham hock were amazing! Our mains of the monkfish and chicken equally divine. We finished our meal with a liquor coffee in the drawing room. Definitely worth going although I’m not sure how often the menu is changed so you probably wouldn’t want to eat here every night unless you enjoy eating the same thing. The restaurant was a little quiet but it was a Monday evening and they had had a large birthday party in the other room.

Just returned from a lunch hosted at Gisborough Hall. The lunch was in the Long Hull. The table setting and presentation were reminiscent of a begone age of opulence. The three course meal was outstanding. The quality of the food was first class. Staff were friendly but professional and highly trained; Sharon, Wendy and Sarah. A thoroughly enjoyable experience at a brilliant local hotel.

The surroundings and the ambience of Gisborough Hall makes it a special place to eat. I must compliment the chef, as a Coeliac, the menu was wonderful; delicious and beautifully presented. The chef was able to adapt the menu to suite my dietary requirements and the dishes available made it difficult for me to choose. (this is not usually the case in most restaurants). The staff were friendly and attentive and the whole experience was made it very special for us; it was our 30th Anniversary. We are looking forward to visiting Challoner's Restaurant again in the very near future.

The food is excellent and we struggled to eat the three courses on offer. You do not have to have all three courses. There are some unusual dishes to try, all very tasty. We dined twice in this restaurant

We stayed for 3 nights and had our evening meal in Chaloners on 2 nights ( breakfast is served in Chaloners each morning). Cannot praise enough, definitely up there with other fine dining restaurants we have visited. A special shout out to the chef who at our request, ordered venison in especially for us (it wasn't on the menu) and it was absolutely amazing; would go as far as saying the best we've ever had. This alone will ensure this first visit, will definitely not be our last.

Steak cooked to perfection, very tasty and beautifully presented . Service very good. Varied choice on starter and desserts

Food was beautifully cooked. Very small comment , it could have done with another vegetarian dish and changed a little more often

Had 3 night deal offering breakfast and evening meal. The food was exceptionally wonderful. Some items you could imagine would have been created on BBC MasterChef. Menu was a little restricted if you were staying for a week, but 2 days was no problem and the Cheese Soufflé starter and Orange cheesecake dessert were unmissable and had to be repeated. The cheese dessert was a bit disappointing and could have done with some oatcakes or crackers, but I am sure they would have provided this had I asked. The service in the restaurant was brilliant.

Very popular and you need to make an advanced booking to avoid disappointment. Good menu - the grills are recommended altogether an enjoyable experience.

We used Chaloners 3 times during our stay and the food was excellent. All the staff were helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble.

The menu was varied and tantalising offering dishes to suit every taste. Service was first class efficient and friendly and every question was answered.

The lamb was excellent - quite a filling meal in itself. Cheese and biscuits was an adequate portion after the main course.

The food, service, setting and atmosphere are excellent. The main dining area is the old billiard room and it is grand in scale but still a comfortable experience, almost intimate. The menu is full of local produce and the preparation and the cooking shows that the chef and team are skilled and imaginative. It is dining you would want form a hotel of this style and comfort. Reassuringly excellent, imaginative without being radical. And thankfully, they work on putting together flavoursome plates, with carefully combined ingredients and keeping portions moderate. The value is in the ingredients and the cooking and the presentation. And it is excellent value.

One of the best meals we have ever had, menu choice was superb, quality and presentation outstanding.

This is a must if you stay at the hotel. It's a fabulous place to dine with an excellent menu and the food is cooked exactly as you like it. The waiters and waitresses are so friendly and attentive. Lovely place to eat 5 stars from us.

Excellent food, beautifully presented, staff very good too. Nicely decorated, garden views out of the windows very nice when it's sunny.

Both myself and family have eaten many times in the Chaloner’s Restaurant this is always a great experience with a warm welcome on arrival. We enjoy a drink in the bar where we can browse the Menu before ordering, being shown to your table shortly afterwards by a member of the restaurant staff.The menus are all very comprehensive with something for every taste.The chef and the team really know what they are doing here. We have never had a bad meal as the consistency is always there. The waiting staff are all so very attentive, friendly and professional, without being overbearing making the experience all the more enjoyable. We always look forward to coming here.

We have spent 3 nights at Gisborough Hall Hotel & dined in the Chaloners restaurant. Delicious food, freshly cooked & great choices too. The portions are overly generous but don’t be afraid to ask for a smaller portion if it is possible. Steaks are cooked to perfection, whatever your taste is. Choice of steak, fish, pork & vegetarian.

Recent Sunday lunch was wonderful. We didn't stay overnight as we live local - just a visit to the restaurant.It was my Mum’s birthday and her first real day out since a fall earlier in the year when she broke her arm and was in hospital for a week. She also moved home the day before, which of course saw Mum, my girlfriend and I spending all day lugging boxes around, so we felt we all deserved a bit of a treat.As well as the meal being fantastic, and of course the setting is always amazing, the staff really made the visit. They made us very welcome and were really friendly – it was like being in a village pub but a village pub within the setting of a grand stately home. To make everyone feel so relaxed in such a setting is no easy feat.The food was really nice (perfectly cooked beef) and worth every penny. For just under £70, we enjoyed 2 x three courses, 1 x 2 course lunch, drinks and coffees.

Seven of my family went for Lunch on 7th April and we were very pleased with the meal, the service and the surroundings. We will be making a return visit.

Table booked for 745, left at 1030.The food was good when it showed up, but it took hours to eat !Not until we complained at final bill did any of the staff apologise for the very slow service.Not stayed & eaten here often but will not be rushing back.

Great food in delightful surroundings, served by cheerful and friendly staff. At dinner the Ham hock terrine starter was perfect, followed by succulent chicken and rounded off vwith a decadent sticky toffee pudding.

Staying at hotel on DBB. Hotel restaurants are often generic & bland.This was far from it, lovely decor, spacious layout. Menu not vast but good choice.Mackerel & tomato tart, very tasty & different. I don’t normally order chicken but glad I did, very moist & lovely skin. Pickled blackberries made the dish.Venison melted in the mouth. Potato fondant could have been more buttery was more like a large roast potato.Desserts ok, sticky toffee pudding fine but nothing amazing.Cheese ok but was given no choice despite there being a cheese list.Had better Coffee but truffles a nice touch.All in all we enjoyed it.

The breakfast was £15.95 each. Wow, never paid that much for breakfast even at a luxury boutique hotel before. Staff were slow to serve, and even slower to clean up tables. Floors were not cleaned up either. Needs more attention to detail in this wannabee luxury hotel that doesn't make it.

A better than average hotel restaurant. The food was well cooked, the menu attractive and service was prompt although a bit delayed one evening when a large coach party was present. More limited vegetarian choice but you can also select dishes from the Bistro Bar menu. We stayed 2 nights and ate in the restaurant. For longer stays there are a variety of places to eat in the town nearby but you have to drive there.

While staying at Gisborough Hall Hotel, we ate dinner one night at Chaloner's. Having a yen for fish and chips after a day spent at the beach in Saltburn, that's what I ordered and it did not disappoint! The fish was huge and delicious, the chips were just right, and my G&T; went down a treat.

This was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. It was absolutely delicious - homemade red pepper and tomato soup, steak and chips and peanut butter ice-cream. The onion rings that were served with the steak were some of the best I've ever had. Lovely dining area and attentive staff made this one of the best experiences I've had. Would come back.

We were staying at Gisborough Hall and decided to eat in Chalenors. The restaurant is well laid out,very spacious and lots of character. Dinner was nice,good quality and served well.

Excellent food and service, Went for a two night break at Gisborough Hall - Chaloner's and Maureen were just the icing on the proverbial cake!

We had dinner and breakfast in Chaloners when staying at Gisborough Hall. Dinner was very good. A minor quibble is that the service, though friendly, was perhaps a little too attentive. Breakfast was, if anything, even better with a good choice from the buffet and well cooked, plentiful dishes served at the table.

Had been staying in the hotel for work and managed to meet up with a family member. We ate in Chaloner's and the food wasn't on par with the service or expectations.

The qualityof food served in the Chaloners restaurant has been constant over four meals we have taken in the last nine months. The service and presentation are excellent and the ambience is peaceful and serene.

Had dinner here on a Sunday evening at the end of January. We have eaten here a few times before and we have always been very impressed by both the service and the food.

The restaurant is very elegant and excellent service. The food is superb and the choice is good too. We actually asked for a certain table as this was our anniversary but it never materialised which was a shame but didn't put us off.

What a find the food is first class and the service second to none.

Excellant menu with varied choices to suit all tastes with helpful waiters with good knowledge of the meals offered sand sreved without intuding on a personnel evening overall excellant would recommend to anyone staying or in the local area to eat here.

Excellent food beautifully prepared, served and presented. Adequate choice and simple pricing system, if a bit expensive. A real treat.

Restaurant is in Gisborough Hall Hotel, typically busy since there are no nearby eateries. They have fancy named dishes (e.g. Banana Financier, Tonka beans) but overall you get good value for money.

We stayed at Gisborough Hall for a 2 night break including Dinner. Both my husband I were impressed with the food, the special sticky toffee pudding was to die for, very light.

Relaxing pre lunch drinks on the sunny terrace with lovely views of the grounds and surrounding hills. Lovely three course Sunday lunch, all beautifully presented and delicious. Staff very friendly and efficient. Coffee and Petit fours in the hall to end a very enjoyable meal.

Pretty food and very nice but poor value for your pound. You would never get your 5 a day here as the portions are very small

This is the third time that I have eaten here and I have always been highly impressed.

We always eat here when we stay at the hotel. I am a vegetarian and they have a separate menu plus there is always a vegetarian choice on the main menu. My husband especially enjoys the desserts and the cheese selection is good local cheeses.

We were staying at the hotel,although not a vast menu choice, our experience told us that MacDonald Hotel restaurants usually exceeded expectations. And that it did. The food was exceptional and the staff were friendly and attentive. We had reservations about ordering the house wine-totally unfounded as it was excellent.

The restaurants in Macdonalds hotels are always good. Chaloner's was particularly so.

Fantastic local produce, cooked to a very high standard but not with a hefty price tag. Presentation wonderful and something for everyone. Staff were so attentive and could not be more helpful. Will always eat there when in the area, well done all.

For a chain hotel the quality of the food was excellent. Lots of lovely, local produce, well cooked. The special crab served in a tin was a novelty (though could have done with some lemon and black pepper!) Some innovative twists as well as good old fashioned steak, chips etc. Extensive vegetarian menu as well (which my husband was a bit disconcerted by when he was given it by mistake).

We had an evening meal when staying at the hall. Lovely food, well prepared and very tasty. We shared a starter, and selected some bread to go with it (wonderful breads). Mains was just the right amount, and, again, very tasty. For dessert, we had sticky toffee pudding - excellent. The staff were attentive and very professional. Lovely night out.

My wife and I chose to use the Restaurant in our Hotel to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. The food was fantastic and the waiters were a joy.

Beautiful surroundings, tastefully furnished and very attentive staff make this an excellent choice for dinner. The food was attractively presented, which is half the battle, and was absolutely first class. Good wine list too. And it won't break the bank! Highly recommended.

The food is very good, the chef quite innovative, try the bread. It isn't the cheapest meal but you get what you pay for.

Very attentive service, good menu. The lamb was outstanding. The wine list was good but not extensive. Well priced.

We stayed at the hotel for our Wedding Anniversary and ate in this restaurant in the evening. It was a lovely location within Gisborough Hall, the service was very good as you would expect from a restaurant with two AA Rosettes.

Had 2 meals in 2nights stay and I must say that the food was fantastic, the 2nd night ordered food from the G bar and eat it in the restaurant.The only negative point was that we was charged quite a bit extra when we ordered drinks in the restaurant compared to the bar prices ( we didn't know that till we signed for the bill at the end of the night)

Excellent menu choice, in lovely surroundings, the trio of Yorkshire beef really tender, but the chocolate fondant was to die for

Stayed over on a business trip and dined in the restaurant. Food was excellent, very tasty and well presented. Great to be served on hot plates as well (makes a change to most other restaurants) and the service was very good, with all the waiters & waitresses being attentive without being ott.

I did have to challenge the waiter who said to us 'who is the tart with the ice cream!' Did make us laugh though. Overall excellent food and good service even though busy

Really nice setting inside the excellent guisborough hall hotel. Had two evening meals and three breakfasts which were all of really good quality. Would recommend

If you are staying in the area it well worth a visit but you must book as the hotel gets very busy.The food and service is excellent and the choice wide enough to suit all tastes and very good value ,we found the wine overpriced but if you buy by the glass its ok as long as you dont have too many

I can nor praise the food and staff enough it was definitely the best I have ever eaten and I look forward to returning next month

We ate twice at Chaloner's while staying at Gisborough Hall Hotel. The food is better than the service; that is, with one exception. Byron, acted as Maitre D on one of our nights (Saturday) when the restaurant was completely full, and he is a real gem with good personal and observational skills. On taking our order, he 'came down to our level' (rather than cowering over us), was extremely attentive, and advised on a superb wine (a Spanish red) to accompany our lamb dishes.He also noted when our water glasses needed refilling. We wish he had been working the Sunday night when there were only a few tables taken. Sad to say, his role was taken by someone else who ignored us for long periods, even though she had little to do, who spent much of her time fawning over another couple on the other side of the restaurant. A shame! As for the food, we have mainly good comments. The menu is not long and we chose essentially the same dishes each night. One of us had locally-sourced lamb cutlets and the other slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Both were excellent, and accompanied by tasty sauces. One of us also had soup which, while a little 'watery', had a good flavour. The desserts on the menu did not attract us greatly, so we chose local cheeses. Oure meals in teh restaurant were part of a dinner, bed and breakfast package and so we cannot comment on value, except to say that we enjoyed the food but were disappointed in the inconsistency in service standards. ..

The food was fabulous, with the menu offerring good local choices of seasonal food. The service was personal and not intrusive with lots of smiles! Nothing was too much trouble.....

The menu is varied and a little different, ordered the lamb one evening, delicious. The game pate spectacular. Breakfast also very good with good quality ingredients.

Shared birthday dinner for husband and adult son; a lovely meal in great surroundings. Staff helpful and friendly and efficient

We were there for a late Birthday celebration and the staff could not have been more helpful. They greeted us in a friendly manner, took our drinks order and ensured we were seated comfortably in the Main Hall. Nibbles were interesting and tasty. We had a query about the wine which was handled and resolved in an appropriate manner. The Tournedos steak at dinner was amazing, cooked exactly how we wanted it. Although the meal did not look like a huge portion when it arrived, there actually was more than sufficient and the desserts were good too. The waiting staff were attentive but not intrusive, even though the restaurant was not full on this particular occasion. All the staff knew it was a Birthday celebration and all of them, without exception, wished my father a very happy birthday, which was a nice touch and showed they had been thoroughly briefed. When his dessert arrived, the underplate had greetings written on it, which he appreciated. All in all, a good evening.
