Cyprium Bar & Grill in Tandridge

This was not a pleasant experience. My ‘spaghetti’ with prawns and chilli arrived floating in sauce (more like a soup), the spaghetti was cut up, a spaghetti being about an inch long. There was no prawn in sight (most probably blended into the sauce). It would need a spoon to eat it. It looked like food for a toddler or out of a tin. I have never felt that I had to reject a dish but this was definitely one of those moments. I am a friendly person and I always appreciate good staff but the waitress frankly couldn’t give a dam. My husbands Wagu beef burger was burnt but he decided it was edible and didn’t complain. I was so shocked at what I had been served that I decided to skip dinner. The food is definitely a conversation topic but not in a good way.

Food was poorly cooked and not as described on the menu. It felt like they had run out of ingredients and thought they could get away with serving up any old nonsense. It was obvious from our talk with the manageress, that the restaurant was poorly managed which was a pity as the waiting staff were so nice.

Absolutely awful food. They should be embarrassed with what they are serving. We eat out 2/3 times a week and never leave reviews (good or bad) but feel compelled to write something here. Just terrible.

Bad bad bad! Restaurant air con doesn’t work well. Food quality poor. Limited menu choice especially for vegetarians

Expensive for what it is - had the burger cooked to death and very small for the price. £15 very expensive for what it was. Son had pie and mash - was ok but again very expensive for what was served up. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Would have stayed for desert but they were expensive and probably of a similar standard. Always think you get what you pay for. On this case 2/5 for value and quality I am afraid there are far better places out there. Hever Hotel - better burger better quality just excellent. Need to improve to even think about coming back.

We had afternoon tea here for two before a spa day. The scones were lovely and big. They were warm which was excellent. We also had cakes which were delicious. The only downside is that the sandwich selection was not that great (cheese and pickle, salmon, cucumber and ham) and the bread tasted a bit stale. Service was good but we went there when there was only to other tables occupied.

Firstly after our starters we waited over 45 minutes for our main course, and then when it did come out, it was all wrong, and they forgot to bring out one dish all together! Food not of the greatest quality, very disappointing

Had the BBQ spare ribs, yum yum. Cooked well, served with a snails and tasty as can be. Always good to come here for a light meal, have visited on numerous Occasions and shall continue to do so. With the race course in the background the ambiance is spot on too. Well done guys!

Mussels smelt tainted and attitude was bad......that was just the starters. Not much hope for the main but fingers crossed.

Lunch in the grill today was a pleasant surprise, as some other reviews have not been good. We only had the pie of the day & chicken, pesto linguine which was cooked al dented and really tasty, could have been a bigger portion is my only negative. Lovely young lad serving us.

Always great service here. The bar manager, Konrad, is extremely courteous and his staff are trained well. Good place for a drink AND decent food.

Very hit and miss both food wise and service. Try to avoid on race days as everything seems to go downhill then. WE have used this restaurant several times over the years and sometimes you can have a really nice meal there with very good service. Other times both food and service leave a lot to be desired. But it is convenient being the hotel's restaurant and anywhere outside the hotel is a long walk or taxi ride away

Stayed for two nights and ate in here the first night as we were to tired to go in to town after our journey. Staff were friendly, and often asked if everything was ok. My husband had steak, which was cooked to his liking without a problem or a comment - which often happens elsewhere. I did feel the presentation of his dish was lacking. It’s unusual these days to see chips on a plate with the meat at the side, the old fashioned way. I ate chicken roulade which was nicely presented. My real complaint was an overpriced bottle of Marlborough, which wasn’t cold enough, had to ask for an ice bucket instead of the narrow cooler which doesn’t make the wine colder; that didn’t go down too well, asked for more ice from a gentleman who appeared to be a general manager, he obliged no problem. The waitress said they don’t sell much of this particular bottle so it will have been in the fridge for a while: the waiter gave me the usual response of ‘its been in the fridge’ he also said it’s 7 degrees. In my book that’s not cold enough. Didn’t eat breakfast as we prefer to have a walk and find a cafe; which we did in Lingfield.

We must have caught them on a bad night. Got our order wrong - when the wrong dish arrived the manager tried to blame us before double checking with the waitress who took our order, then we could hear the manager grumbling about us to other staff. We were offered free drinks that then appeared on the bill. The steaks we were served were more gristle than meat, one meal came out 10 minutes before the other and everything was over-priced. Really disappointed.

Stayed for a couple of nights, food and restaurant all good. Would stay again and breakfast was good. Shame it rained though.

We made a stop for a burger in the bar. The personal in the bar was friendly and sweet. After we waited for about 40 minutes the burgers was served burned, cold and greasy. We sent them out and got new once after 10 minutes. This time not burned but real hard fried with a crust. Paying about 15 pounds for a burger should get you a realt tasty one with a golden edge to it.

The grill has a limited card and limited activity. Whilst there were plenty of tables free, we had to wait for about an hour - they must have been short of staff. The quality of the rib eye was good, the béarnaise was not exceptional.

The bar is tiny. We had drinks there before dinner, but the restaurant staff won't come to you with menus, and they won't let you order in the bar. "Come through to the restaurant when you are ready to order."

we had a set menu which i normally disslike as it normally means a bit budget, not in the Cyprium Bar and Grill though. this was a top class meal, served well and left the table full. top marks !

Stayed at the Marriott after spending the day at the races. It is a fairly limited menu but enough of a selection and the food was great along with the service.

I was surprised at limited menu choice for dinner for large hotel chain. I didn’t like any of the starters or deserts and I am not a fussy eater. I ended up with a burger as that was the only thing I liked on the menu, it was very nice but I was expecting something a bit better for my evening meal. My husband had lamb which was Ok but not fantastic either. For some reason all the steaks had an additional £10 supplement don’t know why as they were only simple 8oz steaks not huge T bones or Wagu beef.

When this hotel was designed they decided to put the smallest bar ever in, and put it right opposite the front reception revolving doors!! Great idea when it’s cold, wet and snowing!

We were staying in the hotel and opted to eat in the restaurant on the first night. The meal was so good that we ate there again on the second night.

Great value onXmas day. Lovely meat and turkey well cooked. Good selection of veggies but no Carrots. Attentive and enthusiastic staff. A great alternative to the usual slog of preparation at home

The bar area is tiny; six small tables; three helpful staff but a lot of them time they were elsewhere and no-one was at the bar serving. Someone in my party asked for low-alcohol beer and it took 15 mins to establish that they hadn't got any. I had to ask at reception for our table to be cleared of previous people's dirty plates.

Good atmosphere in here on raceday. Excellent service and well stocked. We only had drinks in the bar but the meals that came out for others looked lovely.

Nos alojamos en el hotel donde este restaurante está basado. Aunque no es un restaurante gourmet, tuvimos una cena decente y agradable perfectamente a un precio razonable.

El restaurante del Marriott Hotel tiene un ambiente extraño, casi como el diseñador de cafetería debe ser shot! !

Agradable Cena el viernes por la noche, sabroso y de buena calidad. No hay "ing fresco comida." Personal óptimo. No es demasiado caro

Almorcé con mi hermana, y tenía el pollo,

Cenamos en el restaurante durante la estancia en el hotel. El menú es bastante limitada, pero para todos los gustos, es razonable y ofrece una buena relación calidad-precio. El vino es generalmente caro, pero la provisión de un plato de aceitunas, pan y vinagre balsámico un lujo inesperado. Mejor de lo normal la comida del complejo.

Realmente comida. Aceitunas de cortesía y pan - aunque se convirtió en algo necesario como comida principal tardaban demasiado en llegar. Para ser justos, después darnos nuestros postres gratis. La camarera fue muy amable, sólo puedo asumir que estaban cortos de personal, que era una pena.

Nice meal, good service and staff were very professional. Bar is very open and by the hotel reception, it did not feel homely in the bar area.

Golf travel to England for the weekend. This is the best food we have had in our golf travels, the service was good and the food excellent.

Really nice staff, very generous portions sizes and really good food. Very nice cocktails as well. Surprised at how cheap the bill was.

Went on a golf trip with 16 other ladies, had a set menu to choose from, 4 starters, 4 main courses and 4 desserts. All dishes were well presented, food was good, service in the Restaurant was fine. Service in the golf bar was slow and trying to get food in there was extremely slow. Prices for snacks ie sandwiches etc was expensive for the quality

We stayed at the Lingfield Park Marriott after a visit to Hever Castle. Food was good (when is arrived) but service was very poor. We arrived 20:30 ordered at 20:40 and had to chase the one course we had ordered at 21:15. No bread was provided and staff were unapologetic about the delay. It was clear that the order had been lost as the food did not arrive until 21:35. A 20% discount was taken off the bill but this was not explained so I assume this was for the delay. Poor experience on otherwise a lovely stay at the Marriot.

Despite being told that the restaurant was full we were given a table and had a really lovely evening. The food and wine were excellent as was the service. Cannot fault it and so much better than other hotel restautants.

Ate outside on the terrace overlooking the RacecourseLovely, beautifully presented food. There is an upmarket restaurant, but we wanted pub food and it was lovely.

Nice menu, Staff are sometimes over run on busy periods.Food is very nice. Good burgers and Steaks.

I had both breakfast and dinner in the Cyprium. The breakfast was probably the best I've had, fresh grapefuit, perfect poached aggs, and all out ready for 6.30 start to breakfast. I also had dinner in the Cyprium, the salman was lovely and the apricot frangipane and the apricot brandy ice-cream was amazing though my one moan would be please serve my pudding on a plate not a slate (the ice cream dribbles off the sides)!

Went here for a 2 night break and ate here twice for breakfast and dinner. All the food was very tasty and plentiful, especially the buffet breakfast. Loved It !!

The location is excellent with views across the race course. Food was very good except for the Caesar salad which was an insult. The salad was £10 for a plate of lettuce and some parmesan shavings...oh and the stub of the lettuce. When we asked where the rest of the salad was we were given some tiny croutons...even though it says on the menu there should be bacon included and we could barely see the dressing. However, the other food items on the menu were very good so we would recommend just avoiding the salad. We waited over 40 minutes to be served the salad and we had to wave madly to get service when we needed something. Dinner service was much better as they had more staff. But if they want to charge the prices they are they need to fill glasses to the top and not just over half full. Breakfast was very nice and the service then was excellent.

good service and staff but have to say very boring menu which never chamges so over the duration of our stay it really was anti climax to the day as opposed to the fun round off to the day as we like

Very enjoyable 3 course meal as part of a package - there were a few things you would have to pay extra if you wanted them - but there was still a good choice. Did think at £24 for the cheapest bottle of wine was a bit pricey

You cannot go wrong eating in this restaurant. Food superb and with great choicesBreakfast had everything you could want - healthy choices tooDinner is top qualityBest of all is the welcoming and friendly staff

We had dinner here at the hotel. The staff were brilliant and really did just attend to our needs. I would definitely eat here again and we had a thoroughly great time.

For the special golf package we paid, I am happy and enjoyed the food, drinks etc.Extensive menu to pick from - much more than the average, typical restaurant. Excellent and quick service too - no messing about and the waiters/waitresses were not grumpy that night.Much choice too from the buffet breakfast, with freshly fried eggs, DIY toast, fruit salad, fresh fruits, non supermarket sausage.

Had dinner here while staying in the attached hotel. I opted for 3 courses due to the amazing selection, wish i had been able to dine here all week to be able to try everything on the menu.The taste was amazing, the presentation was amazing, the service was amazing. i couldn't fault this restaurant and would highly recommend to anyone who likes good food. I will definitely return.

Although a little cathedral like the restaurant serves good food and has a decent little wine list, the staff were attentive and the seating comfortable.

says it all in the tilteTop food lovely environment great staff.Food was included in our christmas package and was first class.

Stayed on Saturday night and enjoyed an excellent Breakfast on Sunday Morning. The choice and quality of the food was very good. Service was friendly and efficient

i ordered a redbull, it was £3.50!! first and last order made at the bar! bar staff very attentive and nice.

Excellent food and superb service. The staff in the restaurant really are pay attention to your needs. Lenny and Holly G were especially good.

Haben hier zu Abend gegessen. Der Service war sehr unterschiedlich: was der einen an Freundlichkeit fehlte war bei der Anderen eher ein Tick zuviel.Essen ist okay aber auch nicht wirklich herausragend.Wenn man beweglich ist lohnt es sich in den Ort zu fahren.

Service can be very slow in the restaurant and food nothing to shout about - the bar area is quite large and spacious and the staff very pleasant - although one of them seemed to delight in throwing empty bottles in the bin causing an unnecessary din

We had a lovely meal. I can highly recommend the four cheese pasta as I already have had it twice. Sadly, the menu never really changes. The lamb is also extremely well cooked but very expensive. The staff was very kind and would certainly go back as we are never really disappointed. The desserts are always a winner but, the restaurant is very expensive so I would not recommend to families especially with small children as the food and ambiance screams fine business dining or perfect for couples.

Very good meal, but to me overpriced, we can have a carvery for a fraction of the price in other racecourses . staff very very good and the views were great. Comfortable area to eat in. The price did not spoil a very good evening as it was a one off

Having stayed at the hotel the same time last year for my wife's birthday and having enjoyed the racing and the ability to watch from our suite balcony (despite a very average dining experience and a disaster of a breakfast) we decided to revisit to celebrate the same occasion this weekend, travelling from Dubai where we live for the occasion.I called the hotel the day before and requested (and received) the same room as last year and tried to reserve a table for lunch to enjoy a nice meal prior to the racing but was told the restaurant did not open for lunch and instead there would be bar food available only. We looked at the menus online and felt that the evening one seemed good enough to mark such an occasion. So we decided to forsake the musical entertainment and book a romantic meal for dinner, post racing.On arriving in the room we found a letter warning guests about the invasion of wasps this year. We took note and proceeded to the bar for a snack. With all tables taken inside we sat outside and, as promised, we were inundated with unwanted waspish guests. We live in an old house and have many a nest each year but we had never seen so many in one small area. Why did the hotel not take steps with either a pest control expert (as we employ at home) or place some of the excellent wasp catchers sold by any reasonable DIY store? We finished our lunch, having exercised our arms in windmill fashion shooing away pests, and headed to our junior suite, number 320, overlooking the finishing straight.10 minutes before the first race I called room service to try and order a bottle of champagne. 10 minutes later and having spoken to 6 different people I finally made myself understood and said drink was on order. 40 minutes and two races later the champagne arrived, slight raising our dampened spirits.We enjoyed the rest of the card from the room and headed to dinner at 8.30pm. Despite calling the previous day and making a reservation we were told there was no such booking in the system. No matter, there were tables available.We were sat at our table and presented with the menu the restaurant manager. Having already seen the same menu at lunchtime I requested the correct, evening menu. I was advised that this WAS the menu for the evening. I politely stated that we had seen a very different format on the website, one that had restaurant dishes rather than bar dishes but again, The manager was adamant that this was the correct menu and that we should realize that the format can change.A while later a very helpful and polite waitress came to take our order. For one last time I asked why there were no steaks available, being a fairly standard fayre and what with the restaurant being called 'Cyprium GRILL'. The waiting staff advised that there was a problem in the kitchen and as a result they could only offer the lunchtime menu. Had The manager told us this we would have accepted it as these things happen. But the fact that the Manager lied directly to us made us very angry and cast a shadow over the rest of the evening. Being the only available place to eat without having to leave the hotel (and Country Club) we ate.We finished our meal and asked another waiting staff for the dessert and coffee menu. She could not speak English or understand so she asked a colleague to serve us. We ordered two coffees and two liqueurs, amaretto and brandy.We received one coffee, one liqueur coffee and a large Bells whisky! The waiter could not understand what had gone wrong so we accepted the coffees and sent back the whisky.After a somewhat deflating birthday meal we retired to bed but not before ordering breakfast.8.20am and breakfast turned up on time. Or rather one did. Despite clearly writing '2' on the card they had got something else wrong. My wife ate that whilst I waited 15 minutes for mine to turn up.Thank you Marriott for making a huge effort to spoil my wife's birthday and for ensuring our travel from Dubai was pointless given the exceptional service we receive at home compared to this hotel. However, and thankfully, we decided we would try and see through the 'Fawlty Towers' experience and we enjoyed ourselves despite of the hotel.Suffice to say we will likely try and find an alternative venue for the same occasion next year.

Bar service slow in the early evening and many rowdy customers all wanting to be served first. Evening meal in the restaurant very average not of a high standard, very good wait staff.

fine dine.well decorated ,cool,calm atmosphere enjoyable food,wine bar.grill starer like chicken,lamb,are marvalas.

Menu not extensive more expensive but it is hotel food. Had to wait 25mins for a sandwich and breakfast is a bit of a free for all no table had to wait bacon ran out had to wait. Given the surroundings expected this to be a little more classier.

Unfortunately, as is the case with most Marriott Hotels the menu does not change from day to day, and, therefore, if you are staying for a few days you are restricted for choice if half of the menu is not to your liking. However, the meals we had were well presented and quality, with good service levels.

We had a table overlooking the racecourse. The staff are first class and friendly. The afternon tea you have a choice of finger sandwiches:Smoked salmon and cucumber, our favourite, egg and cress(v), Cheese and pickleSmoked ham with mustard mayonnaiseFreshly baked scones served with clotted cream and preservesSelection of homemade cakes and pastriesSelection of tea or coffee. the coffee was constantly topped up. Will definately return. the price by the way is £14.00 per person

lovely views over the race and golf course. Dinning alfresco optional but advisable, sun trap and very peaceful. Had lunch on the first day, very nice and breakfast on the departure day. Amazing and so much choice. Eggs cooked to order, attentive staff and unlimited quality food. What more could you want?

Highly overpriced cocktails that were nothing special...need more staff working at the bar as it can get busy on a Saturday night.

Had the misfortune of eating here twice during a business trip and both encounters were lack lustre with pretty shoddy service (drinks orders failing to be realised, erroneous items appearing on bill etc) and terrible quality food (produce bad and suspect most of it bought in prepared) at hiked prices. The tables were in my opinion not clean, but sticky and greasy. They had been wiped down but not cleaned. Resting on them your arms and hands would stick. Not pleasant. Wine list is average and white wine arrives warm. I wonder if someone is putting the wine in a chiller set for red wine. Every bottle was delivered warm. Last orders are 930 which is a pain if, as my group were, you are working on business and arrive back late. There seems to be a number of local pubs near by it may be better to try these instead.

We have stayed in the Marriott Lingfield hotel on several previous occasions but generally go into the village to eat. Tonight we decided to try the Cyprium, mixed feelings on the experience.Firstly I have to say the food was very good, tasty and good portion sizes. My wife and I however only had a main course.I ordered the Beef Stroganoff and my wife a sirloin steak, now here is the first slightly negative point, when ordering her steak my wife was told that as she had ordered "medium to well done" it would be a 40 minute wait as the steaks were quite thick! Well unless they were grilling it with a box of matches or it was six inches thick how can cooking a steak take so long? Suffice to say it arrived 35 minutes later and was of normal dimensions!The other point with this restaurant is the atmosphere, there is no ongoing service, for example we ordered a bottle of still water, this was put on the table without removing the top or pouring. There was no attempt to top up our wine glasses throughout our meal (all though in fairness sometimes it can be a pain when restaurants do this). Finally, the atmosphere, this restaurant is like eating in a large canteen.....long tables, lots of noise, no background music.......sorry not for me...next time it's back to the restaurants in the village.

The food was beautifully presented and tasted great, unassuming staff who didn't pester but were always on hand if needed.

This review refers to the Bar rather than the grill. My husband ordered a chicken burger and got a beefburger but having already waited 40 minutes for it to arrive decided to eat it, he said it wasn't the best he had tasted but was OK. I initially order Thai Green chicken curry only to be told I was given an out of date menu and it was Tandoori chicken and rice. This, I ordered, what came out was a piece of chicken with some type of paste spread on top which was definately not tandoori and tasted weird. I ate two bites of it and discovered the middle of the chicken was cold, so I left it all. I complained to the staff and as it was now after 9pm I didn't want anything else. Within one hour I had gripping pains in my stomach and spent most of the night on the toilet!

Lovely hotel, check in and out seamless. Room was great also the food, pool was nice just a little too warm.

Went for an evening meal very good we had the ala carte menu and the food was excellent and also the service would definitely recommend.

Food was good, albeit quite expensive, but had to wait for 25 minutes to receive a menu and have an order taken. And this was on a very quiet afternoon, so dread to think how long you might have to wait on a busy evening! Waiter very friendly, but just need to be a bit more attentive in noticing people initially.

the food and service at the Cyprium was well presented, delicious and tasteful. The thai fish cakes, slow roasted shin of beef were exceptional.

Good sevice and good food, part of our New Year package. Good choice of food, self service breakfast, good choice and plenty of it .

Food was good and so was the choice. As was the breakfast.For the size of the hotel the bar is far too small.

Not sure Marriott should bother as they can't deliver an offer that I would expect as being acceptable for the client base and market that they are pitching to. Very poor indeed. They are cutting costs in the wrong areas on labour and cost of goods, this does not encourage repeat business. I would not bother eating in this establishment again.

Although menu quite small and not a lot of choice what you do get is exceptional value for money,staff very friendly and efficient,highly recommend
