Lovely place well worth an occasional visit, but make sure you've lots of dosh on you! £19 for a burger, though it was very nice, £6.50 for a Guinness, though that too was pretty good and £3.50 for a small apple juice ...what??!! An occasional treat, not a regular haunt methinks

😁 Had a supprise 60th birthday gathering here last weekend and it was excellent. As a private function the room we were in was perfect and away from any hussle and bustle of other customers. It was the perfect size for our party of 15 or so people. The staff were excellent, in particular Rudy (I think it was) was particularly attentative and very polite (an excellent quality in a customer facing role). The food was lovely and they catered for all of us carnivores / vegetarians and vegans without any fuss. Overall a lovely experience. Would I reccomend it to others... 100% yes without hesitation. I will return 😁👍

An overall good experience and would eat here again. Fish dishes seem particularly good - the whitebait starter, and whole sole main dish were superb. The ice-cream and sorbets also tasted homemade, not factory, and were both delicious and with a good variety of flavours. The overall dessert menu though is very, disappointingly even, limited. Atmosphere declined quickly from about 8.30pm as people emptied out. See also gluten free comments elsewhere in this report.

We celebrated my Daughters & my Birthday the weekend with 14 guests ranging from 11 to 80 years old. Everybody said what a fantastic time they had. The organisational skills of Amy, her restaurant & bar staff was second to none. Not forgetting, congratulations to the Chefs & kitchen staff for fantastically presented & tasty meals. Thank you Channels Brasserie for making our evening really special.

Honestly a lovely experience! We stayed at the Channels Hotel and had dinner and drinks here. A lovely pub type place based on just as lovely grounds. Service was great, friendly staff and happy to serve. Oh my G - the menu! We were really spoilt for choice - so much so that we ordered most of the starters and shared a main, as well as ordering some sides. We were really impressed by the flavours, presentation and really felt the price reflected the thought and skill gone into the dishes. We would absolutely recommend the sea bream, maple bacon and parsnip toffee! Thank you so much and we will certainly visit again when we are in the area! 10/10!

AMAZING!! A Must go to!!! Everything about it is simply First class! Michelle the hostess is so friendly and hospitable!! Thank you Michelle and all the staff are very nice and work well as a team. I would fully recommend going here! has a great varied menu, breakfast, lunch and dinner and the 2nd Sunday of each month they have a jazz band playing! The place is really comfortable, clean and stylish! Look forward to our next visit for the Sunday roast, I would book for the roast though to get a space. Thanks again look forward to seeing you soon.

Amazing experience, The estate was even nicer than the pictures. The room was incredible, the bedroom itself was even bigger than the pictures, spacious and modern, against an idyllic backdrop. The shower and bathroom one word WOW, spacious, clean and a wonderful experience. The outdoor areas such as the car park, main areas and wedding area, are simply stunning and the new builds that surround the estate really give you a luxurious feeling! The customer service provided by James on front desk was top-notch, very helpful and kind, he walked me to my room, walked my guest to my room when she was lost and helped me to settle in before my 30th birthday party. I would highly recommend and return again.

1st and last time of going there unless I really have to, not impressed at all, bar service was very slow, food when it came out was very disorganized, pre-order but waiting staff didn't have a clue, main course was cold n rather greasy, dessert was a crumble which was also cold, there were 19 of us including 6 children, all in all just over £700 and was not worth the money, would have complained but it was my parents party, so didn't want to upset them, just made out it was lovely 🤢

Food was lovely (I had the pork schnitzel) however menu items are bit pricey. For somewhere that charges £20 per main and £6 per side dish I would expect more than satchets of ketchup and mayonnaise. I would at least expect a generous serving in a condiment ramekin. Beers are London prices, the fact you have to order at the bar and food being served prior to cutlery being given to us whilst sat outside isn't ideal.

Went for first time here tonight for their 2 for 1 Thursday deal. Limited menu but that was fine. We were hopeful as we found all the items on their main menu as well. Had kids menu too. I opted for the pie of the day. Don't get me wrong it tasted very nice but was no more than a large starter. The pie was tiny under which they hid a miniscule amount of mashed potato and about 6 small unpeeled carrots with the tops left on. It was at best a larger starter. Paying £19 for that if it was off their main menu I would have felt robbed. At half price? Just about acceptable. Husband had the house burger with chips. The burger was nice. But there was no salad or coleslaw. Literally the not overly big burger and a handful of tiny fries. Again for £19 on main menu ridiculously overpriced. Child's burger was a muffin with a burger in it. Young son was left hungry. Desert was sold to us as set peach custard which was part of the 2 for 1 deal. There was nothing peach about it. It was a tiny creme brulee type desert with a cornel of unseasoned whipped double cream and dry biscuit crumbs. A minute amount of some compote which looked like apple but had no taste. For half price ok but it has not convinced me to come back to try the full menu or even to return I was not full up. It felt I had a starter and a desert but was missing the main course. This restaurant is trying to be too poncy with fancy names for their overpriced tiny dishes. No love put into the child's burger. Way too small for him. The adult burger would have been the right size for a child. Son hated the desert. He was hoping for custard that tasted of peach as this is what was sold to us.

Absolutely beautiful room. Stayed in Hornbeam and the attention to detail was second to none. Would've been a 5 star review if it wasn't for the lunch. We had rustic fries each and they were just awful. They were pre-cooked and re-heated and they tasted like it too. The Channels breakfast the next morning more than made up for it though and I would highly recommend it. Overall a lovely stay. The room really was brilliant

For now, an out of the way hotel, bar and brasserie soon to be surrounded by new housing developments who will make this venue even more popular than it already is. Not to be confused with Little Channels close by. The bar & brasserie is smart and modern offering several different menus and even one for well behaved dogs (water bowl. Cooked Sausage and dog biscuits) who are made most welcome. Going back there soon 😁

We dropped in by chance yesterday hoping looking for a drink and possibly some bar snacks and ended up sitting under some glowing patio heaters enjoying the most fantastic Sunday roast. 9 of us and a dog out for a Sunday walk not expecting to be greeted and served so well. The staff at Channels Bar & Brasserie were superb, could have not done more to make us feel so welcome. Whilst we chose to sit outside with the dog, we watched the waiting staff work their socks off serving customers inside and us out. We can't thank them enough for making our fleeting visit such a nice one. Boris permitting, we will be back soon.

Have been to Channels Brasserie today and don’t think we’ll be returning. Very very poor service. Drinks came after 30 min after ordering them on their app as no one came around to ask if we wanted anything. Asked twice to order food but no one came to take our order not even an hour later so we left after having one drink. Very nice location but you can hardly have any drinks or food as no one is interested in serving you. If you can’t cope with clients get more staff then or get rid of some of the tables. Worst service ever!

My initial thoughts on Channels were who on earth came up with the wording on the menu? It's truly awful, utterly pompous and you're left wondering what some of the dishes actually are. Then there are things such as the description of the burger and describing the lettuce within it as 'gem' but then the next word is simply tomato... dear oh dear. Anyway, my first visit was this evening and I was left wanting. Once I'd asked what one of the starters actually was, I quite enjoyed it but then came the massively overpriced and underwhelming main course. I opted for the pie of the day and whilst the waitress (very professional) had told me that it was quite small, in my mind I pictured small, but deep filled. Nope, it was small and shallow like the sort of pie you'd see in a pie and mash shop. At first I thought they'd forgotten the mash or 'whipped rooster' as they call it (rolls eyes) but it was just hidden underneath said tiny pie. The beer selection was also somewhat tame with the usual lager found everywhere else plus one IPA. I've had the IPA is question before and it was nothing to write home about. I often find us beer lovers are left out when compared to a wine selection, and tonights visit only strengthened that thought. All in all, I can't help but feel that Channels is trying to be something it isn't. Simplify the menu so the customers know what the dishes actually are (the starter was Coronation Pigs Head - what on earth?) lower the prices or increase the meal size and diversify a little with the beers. For now at least, I'll stick to the likes of the Fox & Raven at one end of the scale and the Pig & Whistle at the other. At least they know what they are and I know what I'm getting without the need to ask, 'what is that exactly?'
