Denbies Vineyard Restaurant in Mole Valley

Had lunch with my wife... The restaurant is very pleasant with good level of service. The food however was rather average, I had the lamb which was overcooked and gristly, I had to remove lots of inedible bits. My wife said her fish dish was ok but a bit bland. The puddings were fine.

We came here for Sunday lunch with family, the food was lovely and the staff were very efficient with fast service.

Look no further for a unique dining experience. We enjoyed a delicious lunch in a delightful restaurant, served by very attentive, professional staff. Easy parking too in a very pretty, accessible part of Surrey. (PS...and the shop's good too, you might consider taking out a 'loyalty' card).

Had a very nice Sunday lunch. The menu is a bit limited otherwise I would have given 5 stars. But what we had was really excellent. Well cooked and presented. Service was spot on, attentive and friendly. Just right. The views are superb. You can see the wine estate and the surrounding beautiful Surrey Hills.

A wonderful couple of hours spent at Denbies Gallery Restaurant for our Wedding Anniversary. We had 3 courses, including the Sunday Roast which was exceptional, whilst enjoying the lovely views and service with a smile from our servers.

We got married at Denbies last year so decided to return for dinner for the first time since. The service was exemplary and the staff were attentive to all needs and we did not feel rushed. The ambience is really cool even if the weather didn't play ball! Food was just amazing both my wife and enjoyed our three courses and can't wait to come back again!😊

Fantastic! Celebrated my 60th Birthday here with Sunday Lunch with the family (7 of us). Delicious food, excellent service, attentive staff but not rushed. Lovely atmosphere and the BEST roast beef we have ever eaten! Thank you Denbies

Superb! Food was delicious and well presented. Staff were polite and friendly. Tables and whole restaurant very clean, great views and good value.

We had lunch as part of our wine tour. The food was absolutely delicious. We loved it and will be back. The staff were awesome and very helpful.

Lovely leisurely lunch, taking in the stunning views even though it was a grey damp day. Everyone enjoyed their food, only gripe is that it would have been nice to have bread with our starters. Pork loin was especially delicious and our friends loved the sea bass. Serving staff could not have been nicer and although it was busy, we were made to feel welcome and not at all hurried.

A different/creative menu served in modest/small portions. Excellent service at a leisurely pace from Abi. Overall an excellent lunch - with a superb view!

Visited Sunday for lunch lovely views and location. Restaurant a little cold and meal very over priced. Guests who had the meat Sunday Roast consisting of meat, Yorkshire pudding veg and potatoes but we only had a cauliflower risotto. The starter was made of oyster mushrooms again small portion. Two courses cost £29.00 so would not recommend for any vegans. What we had was nice but too expensive .

After an inside wine tour which included a film, visit to the presses and a wine tasting, which I must say, was very good, we went to the restaurant on the 3rd floor. The food was quite reasonably priced but the service was very slow - an hour and 20 minutes before we got our main course - and the food was only warm. It wasn’t as if the restaurant was busy. The portion sizes could be larger too.

Beautiful location but that's all. The food was not great at all and the service was very poor. The trout starter was very dry, pork started lacked sauce. Goats cheese was probably the best option fish, chicken and beef were all over cooked, roast potato's soggy as if they were cooked hours before and reheated, red cabbage had a large amount of sugar in it beyond edible. Ended up leaving without ordering dessert as we were so disappointed.

The view is lovely on a sunny days which it was. We had an early booking (noon) for 7 for a special birthday and service was fine as we were first in. The starters were nice - the pork bonbons in particular went down well. Mains were a mixed bag - the roasts (one beef, one pork) were well received. My torched salmon was distinctly lacking evidence of a torch! I was hoping for a bit of nice crispy skin but it was just a flaccid lump of skin to be left on the side of the plate. The rest of the plate was fine - nothing more than that. The veg/vegan butterbean thing looked like an enormous spring roll - very odd and both people left more than half of it. Desserts again were patchy. The panna cotta was in a pot so difficult to tell whether it had a nice wobble but both people enjoyed it. The apple & pear crumble wasn't a crumble at all. That 'deconstructed' craze has a lot to answer for. I was served some chunks of cooked fruit with no juices, topped with a separate disk of 'crumble' which was so dry it was more like a shortbread biscuit. If it wasn't for the boule of ice cream it would have been too dry to eat. Very disappointing.

Birthday celebration with pre ordered food. All dishes were good with excellent service from Holly and her team Last minute changes by the restaurant did not affect the overall experience. Congratulations to Chef and all staff. Special thanks to Steve and Carol on the train.

Firstly I was fully aware that this wine estate was huge commercial enterprise but at the same time was bewitched by the Gallery Restaurant and its views over acres of vineyards in an area of outstanding beauty. When you arrive at the estate you are...

We came to the restaurant as part of an organised train tour with a meal afterwards. The train tour was great but the food was shocking. It was £60 a head, the train tour is £15 each so we paid £45 each for the meal....

Excellent experience Had a lovely meal well cooked and very well presented. We were told that it was a new menu just launched beginning of June. Had a wonderful table overlooking the rolling Hills. All the staff were very professional and attentive. The food was...

Nice location with a lovely view over the grapevines and surrounding countryside. However, the food wasn't so great. We went for lunch on Sunday. The roast dinners (one of us had pork, the other beef) were the same as you'd get in a pub -...

Having spoken to the Catering Manager who was very pleasant we visited this establishment after a long time as now vegan friendly. THis time we had a lovely lunch would have liked a few more veggies with the vegetable wellington and apart from sorbet or...

A thank you to Mike for sorting the table as we had been in the week before to check as this was a special occasion. After a very comprehensive wine tour in the cellars & tasting, again thank you although maybe just 20mins too long....

Our group of 3 enjoyed a 2 course lunch menu for £27 (3 courses for £33). There was a nice choice of starters and mains and the service was satisfactory but a bit slow. The food quality was very good. We had 3 different mains,...

A surprising little gem and a must try. Been to Denbies a few times in the past for wine tasting and dog walks but never been up to the restaurant. Amazing views on a spectacular October afternoon. Extremely pleasant and helpful staff and the food...

Had lunch there in early September. The food was okay, but not spectacular. The view was spectacular! The waiting staff could be a bit more attentive. For example, the wrong type of soup was told to quite a few tables and another server had to...

Have been to the Gallery Restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. This time it was for Sunday lunch. Fairly limited menu choices but beautifully presented and well cooked. We had two courses and came away very full!

We had a cheerfully efficient and friendly welcome and we were quickly shown to a nice table by the window… everything well socially distanced… so that was really encouraging. It’s a bright light space, very pleasantly decorated and set out… it felt fresh, clean and...

Went for lunch here yesterday. Usual high standard of food and service and I am pleased to report that all the waiters were wearing prober face masks covering mouth and nose, all the time. They didn't seem to have taken any tables out so it...

Very nice lunch yesterday, the food was excellent and this is a beautiful room with its amazing view over the vineyard. Just a shame about the service, which I see others have commented on too. Lackadaisical young server, we had to ask twice for water,...

I went for lunch date and we arrived to an amazing view on the top view on the top floor of the gallery. The service was fantastic, we were taken care of the whole time and all the staff were so friendly. We were unsure...

We were a group of over 20 cyclists for a late lunch, the staff were really attentive, the food was excellent and washed down with Denbies own, excellent rosé. This group seriously likes their food and many are wine buffs. Everyone really impressed.

My son, my daughter and I took my husband here to celebrate his birthday, which was acknowledged by the staff. In fact, at the end, we were offered a glass of sparkling wine to celebrate - a nice touch.Service was polite, friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. Although one or two items were forgotten during our meal, this was promptly dealt with. The sea bass was cooked to perfection, although my husband and daughter felt there could have been a few more vegetables. The roast beef was delicious.As others have pointed out, the views are amazing.Happy memories!

Awful service! We booked for 8.30pm and was seated at the table as soon as we arrived. Drinks orders taken, then 2 of the 4 drinks arrived. It took 35 minutes for the other 2 drinks (despite chasing on numerous occasions!). Starters arrived promptly but our mains didn’t turn up till just after 10pm (we had to chase after hearing other diners complaining that their order was late). Throughout we tried to order cocktails but was told that due to a party upstairs the bar was too busy to take cocktail orders. The food was delicious and the staff seemed capable but somehow the restaurant just didn’t have it together and sadly we won’t be returning.

Attended the restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary , booked in advance and informed I was gluten free. However, they made no effort what so ever. The food was ok , honest fair , but not posh . The restaurant so needs to be modernised, just looks dated. When then had to pick some wine up from the cellar door. However when we attended gate 'B' we were greeted by a rubbish dump outside with unfriendly staff sitting around smoking. It's truly sad, because the views are amazing and I think the vineyard just needs some TLC. I wouldn't rush back , but if things do improve we would visit again !

We went for a Birthday meal and was disappointed overall. The staff were lovely but very young and didn’t seem to have a anyone to turn to for help or advice. Infection control was non existent as masks were repeatedly taken off, sweaty gloves and then plates etc touched. I was a bit twitchy and I’m not paranoid about COVID. We ordered sea bass and got salmon? No explanation and the service was very slow. The portion sizes were very inconsistent and for the price not good value for money.On a positive note the staff were friendly and the views amazing but I felt sorry for the staff as they need support. The tour of the vineyard was very good though!

Having booked nearly 2 months ago I was phoned today by the gallery to cancel my booking. They gave no detailed reason for this cancellation, just stating they were no longer operating Monday to friday. A very poor service indeed. I suggest people give this venue a miss.

Birthday Sunday lunch and we had the traditional roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and vegetables. Nothing wrong with it and in fact probably exceeded our expectations. We had this with a bottle of the local wine, Denbies of course! Great views from the restaurant of the surrounding countryside

ProsWell cooked stone bassThe wine they did have in stock was very goodFriendly serviceConsExterior poorly lit and signposted at nightThe first 2 bottles of wine we requested were not available even though they are produced on site.Very priceyThe risotto was not good - stodgy consistency (we have eaten many risottos and both agreed that it was very poor)The stonebass dish was mainly orzo pasta with not much fish

We have a Denbies loyalty card which is brilliant as it gives you 20% off the total bill.Our delicious 3 course Sunday lunch with a glass of wine each was £31 a head which was very good value for superb food. The salmon starters, beef , sticky toffee and cheese was wonderfully cooked and the service excellent .

We met friends for a mid week lunch. The first issue was the lift was not working so we had to tramp up 3 flights of stairs. Our welcome to the restaurant was via what looked like the service entrance as we negotiated the coat rack before the door which was propped open throughout our lunch. The restaurant was cold. There were no warm smells and no heaters.The options on the 'set menus' were somewhat eclectic. Guinea fowl or celeriac soup. For mains roast chicken or leek risotto which looked awful when it came and apparently did taste of much. The choice for desert was sticky toffee pudding or nothing. We were trialing this as a possible venue for our Golden Wedding next year but will not be returning. There was more atmosphere and more choice of food in the Conservatory cafe on the Ground floor

We visit Denbies every few months to meet a friend for lunch.The setting is beautiful - whatever the weather you are surrounded by stunning views over the vineyard and surrounding hills.Service, as usual, was good - friendly, helpful and professional. On our recent visit two young ladies running what turned out to be a reasonably busy service, were delightful despite being under pressure at times (no sight of any management oversight to see if they required a little help!).The food (at least on the a la carte menu which we normally choose from) is always top quality. While we are fortunate in being able to afford the occasional expensive treat this restaurant is probably the only one we always come away from commenting on the appalling value for money. Venison £27, beef £26 a little high but the real appalling value for money is in the (tiny) starters and desserts at £8/£9. Interestingly, not for the first time we heard people on two surrounding tables - first (and last?) time visitors - comment on the prices.

We had lunch here after completing the tour of the vineyard. The staff kindly re-seated us so we could be by a window and were attentive throughout the meal. Our starters were all delicious and well presented. Three of us had stone bass and one had pork, again we were all pleased with our choices and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of eating good food in a nice environment with great views across the estate and over to Box Hill. We didn't have a dessert as we had a wine tasting booked! This was a special birthday lunch and day out that will be fondly remembered.

Lovely Sunday lunch with fabulous views across the vineyard to Box HillFood was delicious, service efficient; we weren’t rushed and everyone was served at the same time (12 of us) Obviously we had the local wines - the fizz was lovely!Had heard some less favourable reviews recently so delighted with our experience - Mum & Dad loved it

We have visited this restaurant a number of times. The latest was 4th October, our 50th wedding anniversary. The food, wine and service are always excellent. The extra advantage of this place is the wonderful view across the vineyards to Box Hill. It must be one of the best views from a restaurant in this country.On this occasion, the restaurant staff had colluded with some friends of ours who had visited a little earlier in the morning to drop off a present for us. They gave us a complimentary glass each of sparkling white wine and even the biscuits that came with the cheese were heart-shaped. It made a special occasion even more special.

Four of us - friends of forty years standing - spent a relaxing two hours in this well appointed restaurant. The meals - for each course - were well prepared and presented with suitable gaps for digestion and washed down with an excellent bottle of Denbies Cubitt Reserve Blanc de Noirs. The views are good, wherever you are seated. The service was friendly and good-natured. Two suggestions for improvement - perhaps a little more choice on the menu and some thought given to why a 20% mark-up to their own shop prices is considered justified for wine consumed in the restaurants. All in all, a positive experience.

Slow service, uninspiring menu choices, food average, overpriced, completely unimpressed. Would not return. Such a shame as the early evening tour interesting.

Our visit was a gift so we cannot properly comment on prices. The service by the 2 waiters was excellent, very professional. The view of the vineyard, Boxhill and other parts of the Surrey hills makes it a good place to dine during daylight hours.

My daughter and I took my husband out for a birthday lunch to the Gallery Restaurant at Denbies and it was hugely disappointing. The waitress brought water to the table but it tasted strange and when we looked in the jug there were bits floating in the bottom - it had clearly been used for something other than water and not cleaned out properly. The big attraction of this restaurant is the view - the restaurant is high up with views of the vineyard and surrounding countryside but the as the windows were filthy, it was hard to appreciate the beauty beyond. Although the main course food was nice, we had to wait a good 25 minutes for it to arrive (the waitress said this was because everything was being freshly cooked but why do you not have to wait in other restaurants for food which is excellent?) and there was quite a gap between the main dish arriving and the side dishes to go with it. The size of the chocolate mousse for dessert was tiny - it would have been possible to eat the whole thing in one mouthful. The meal was vastly overpriced - £98 for three main courses, one dessert, one beer, one lemonade, one lime and soda and two cappuccinos. And to go to the toilet, you have to go down two floors, either by the stairs or by a very slow lift. We will not be returning and would not recommend to others.

Had lunch here after the winery tour. Was given a voucher as a present and pleasantly surprised as reviews not that great.

We went here unsure whether to use the set menu or go a la carte. The set menu was VERY limited so we went a la carte which is ridiculously expensive for what it is. Fortunately, you can use a taste card which reduces the price a lot. The starters were very good. The main courses had well balanced flavours but the meat portions, £28 for lamb and £24 for duck, were small. Neither of the meats came pink which we thought a little unusual but they tasted fine. It was extra for vegetables. We ordered a side of chips which we were convinced were oven chips. We brought this to the waiter's attention but he denied it and left our table immediately. We remain unconvinced. On the plus side, beautiful views over Box Hill... even better if someone cleaned the windows. All in all, just too expensive for what was served up.

A small minority of restaurants seem hell-bent on pissing-off their customers by imposing petty charges which should have been absorbed in their overall overhead for GP purposes. This place is one of them.

Every diner has a fabulous view from the Gallery Restaurant over the vineyard and Surrey countryside beyond. We preceded our delicious lunch with the very informative and interesting tour around the estate, making it a very memorable experience all round.

fabulous food great service and friendly helpful staff

Definitely not fine dining. Nice welcome. Small menu cooked by what looked like kids in a messy kitchen) (we could see in the kitchen whilst waiting for the lift in the kitchen. My friend ordered the duck, the skin was soft and very undercooked. When we complained the waiter then spoke to the head waiter and came over to us and blamed us for not telling the waiter how we would like it cooked. Surely its the waiters job to ask how you would like it cooked. They did not apologise they just gave us some 10% money off vouchers for the shop downstairs which means they would still be getting more money out of us. Very disappointing and embarrassing especially when you take someone there for a treat.

It was great venue to celebrate special Birthday. Wine with the meal was fantastic, unfortunately my main course Aubergine was not cooked thoroughly - personally uncooked aubergine is a complete no no for me and hence the lower rating for food. Also we had a wine tasting for Sparkling wine - did no feel it was value for money - luckily the tasters were the wines we had not ordered with the meal but that was sheer luck! Would go again, hopefully will have a better experience next time.

Excellent service + exquisite food. A lovely Saturday afternoon lunch with amazing red wine from the vineyard, will definitely visit again in the future.

A delightful location with fabulous vistas across the vineyards and surrounding countryside providing scenic views for all diners. Very pleasant ambience and quiet during our lunchtime visit enabling easy conversation. Food delicious and service very efficient.

We had a fabulous time and cannot recommend The Gallery highly enough! The food was superb and delicious with plenty of choice for everyone. The staff were great, in particular Sam, who was so knowledgeable and helpful explaining all about the various wines to us - the different grapes used etc. Beautiful views - great food and of course great wine - what more could you want? Cannot wait to go back!

Ate there last year and decided to meet again as half way point but this time different experience - disappointing food and service. We arrived 30 minutes late but kept them informed as very heavy traffic. This they handled no problem. However set meal (2 courses only) disappointing value for money. Also had to ask for bread, ask for mayonnaise and more water and duck terrine came with one small thin piece of toasted ‘bread’ - seriously? I had booked again next week to meet other friends as half way meeting point but am thinking of finding better place to eat. The restaurant was by no means full. Perhaps other people have had similar experience?

lovely afternoon with friends, great food and wine

Some of these successful English sparkling wine houses have built luxurious new facilities for tours, tastings and showing of their wares but not Denbies. The facilities are a bit tired, the lift up to the restaurant takes an age but.....once you get there and sit down, the views are marvellous, the service was wonderful - warm, genuine, professional and efficient. And the food was really very good indeed. Much better than we had expected. I had the fan-fried sea bass and it was cooked to perfection and was delicious. Worth going just for that. A glass of 2013 blanc de blancs was the perfect companion.

A bit of a mixed experience. The Gallery aims to be a fine dining restaurant these days but, on this occasion, the food, the service and the atmosphere failed to hit the right level.

Excellent starter and pudding. Limited choice of main course

Back to our favorite vineyard restaurant... Up to its usual standards. We will return.

Went after winery tour. Lovely finish to the visit.

A perfect place to meet frineds for a luchtime catch up. From the moment you drive in there's an air of organised calm. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor. Unless you're up for serious climbing I'd suggest you use the lift. It may be the 3rd flor, technically, but it's more like the 5th floor as far as the stairs go!! Lovely welcome and table with a wonderful view. Food was great and service excellent. The bill.....OK. You need to book as it's seriously booked ahead. The general ambience is quiet and quality in a fabulous setting.

The service was poor. We had to go up to the counter twice. First to ask them to take our desert order and secondly to get someones attention to pay the bill. The meat was very fatty on the Sirlion steak.

I love dining at the Gallery restaurant and have introduced many friends to Denbies. Looking forward to the next time!

Spent night in estate farmhouse (dated, but ok) and dined here for anniversary. Restaurant has lovely views, great food and service. Unfortunately had to send back aggressively salted Mackerel tartare starter, but was quickly remedied and included a chef sent holding bowl of french onion soup to tide us over (delicious). Service great. Views lovely. Bumped into head chef post meal and he was graciously apologetic about new staff, but we were happy to complement on great food.

We had a lovely meal at Denbies Gallery restaurant. Very beautiful room with fantastic views. We found the service a little slow considering we were the second table to be taken but the restaurant was full before we left. Unfortunately when we received the bill we were charged with something we had not had and had to complain. Nevertheless we enjoyed our meal and would go again

What a find! I have lived in Surrey my whole life and have only now discovered the gallery restaurant at Denbies. I took my father for his birthday and it was honestly one of the best meals we've had. The menu was small but what they served was first rate. Really great value too we both had 2 courses and wine which only came to £60. Very impressive for the quality of the food. The wine was, of course, lovely and the service was attentive but not overly so. The views of the vineyard were stunning especially when the sun was going down. Absolutely coming back!

The location and view from the rooftop restaurant are great, and the food and wine were similarly very good. For this family lunch, the only problem was the service, which was, well, apparently disinterested - slow to attend when we arrived, and the staff spent time drinking coffee and standing with their backs to the diners, not seeming to keep a watch on what was happening. The waitress expressed surprise and incredulity when we asked for parmesan to accompany the risotto (which nevertheless was excellent). This was a shame as the experience was otherwise very good, with an interesting menu and wine list, a great location and easy access and parking.

A very nice restaurant to spend a lunchtime and great views across the vineyards. On our visit the food was very good but could have been a little hotter. The service was good but could have been slightly quicker but staff were very nice. Just a comment on a Vodka & Coke. The Grey Goose Vodka was £6.50 and coke £2.45 which I think is overpriced. I was not asked if I wanted to pay that amount for this quality of Vodka

Lovely setting with great views. Very pleasant staff who were attentive without hurrying you. Food was well presented - particularly like the cauliflower soup.

Food was delicious. Waiter and waitress were polite and attentive. Really value for money

If you’re a senior citizen, you’ll probably enjoy this. Otherwise...it’s 1995 done in a mediocre fashion, sadly

We've had many excellent meals at The Gallery Restaurant but this was the first time we had tried the 5-course tasting menu, all courses accompanies by different wines. The food was superb and matched perfectly with the selection of wines, all served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be going back

Great a la carte menu with plenty to choose from. The sample wine whilst browsing the menu is a nice touch and certainly helped us when selecting wine with our lunch. The staff were efficient and charming. Will definitely be back.

I regularly dine at the Gallery Restaurant its a great place to meet with friends and relatives for both formal and informal dining.

Wonderful restaurant and views. Great food and service but no atmosphere.

The ambiance is very pleasant the background music just right and the food was well prepared and served at the right pace to enjoy the meal.

Our experience was most disappointing ! The restaurant was no more than 50% full even though the weather was perfect and initially the waiter and waitress were reasonably attentive. Having placed our orders we waited around 20 minutes for our starters albeit we all ordered from the set menu of the day and whilst the soup was good the pate was minimal in quantity and the smallest starter quantity imaginable (one sliver from a slice) hardly a man sized portion! We the waited for almost 1 hour for 1 piece of fish each to be served, together with undercooked potatoes and vegetables - barely edible! Dessert was less than memorable and all in all a most indifferent experience which will not be repeated!!

My family and I enjoyed a very relaxing lunch here for my mother’s 94th birthday! The staff were very welcoming ,food excellent and they were very kind to my elderly mother. Only downside for less able diners is that the trip downstairs to the toilet on the first floor can take some time despite the lift! Overall very enjoyable occasion!

Fanatastic setting overlooking the vineyard. Service was unfortunately sporadic and a bit slow. The food was fine but would have expected better given the price - £22 mains. No advice on wine pairings which was really surprising given the location. Overall a bit disappointing as an experience.

This is the second time I have eaten in the restaurant (I have been to the conservatory many times) the food was delicious and the staff friendly.

We went to celebrate my mum’s birthday and we had a lovely time. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious, topped off by being in a beautiful setting with stunning views.

The service was good and members of staff were all kind and friendly. The food was fine but not amazing. We enjoyed our meal and wine. Nice views. Ambiance was average and could be updated. I feel this is a place with great potential and hope it improves in the future.

I took my aged mum and her friend to lunch at Denbies. The ambience and view from the restaurant is gorgeous; it was a beautiful sunny day and it was breathtaking. Service was charming if a little slow. The food was good although not exceptional. Chocolate tart was delicious. All in all a very nice experience.

For that bit special lunch experience there is nothing to compare locally with the Gallery restaurant at Denbies

We decided to do something a little different for my birthday by having breakfast at Denbies. We found the food very tasty, service was fabulous. Only thing I might suggest is an option for a Buck’s Fizz for a special occasion, however this did not affect our enjoyment. Overall experience was outstanding! Thank you

Lovely place for weekend brunch. The view from the restaurant was fabulous. Only complaint was that the service was a bit slow....even though it wasn’t particularly busy or full at the time we were there.

The meal was very nice indeed but we had a 30 minute wait after ordering as a larger party was booked in. It's a shame we were not informed earlier.

What a pleasant restaurant with it's far ranging views over the vineyard ,Box Hill and the surrounding countryside.The waiting staff were pleasant and efficient and the food wonderful. This was not my first visit and will not be the last.

Lunch with my wife and three friends in the Gallery Restaurant today (9/5/2019). Fine location and great views from the 3rd floor Restaurant. However the rest of the experience was very disappointing. Food was not worth the quite high cost. Duck Terrine starter and mackerel fillet starters were minute while main courses were v small and ordinary. We received a very small taste of Bacchus wine - very thin and acid which persuaded three of us to drink things other than wine with the meal - not good for a vineyard! Service was pleasant but very slow - probably due to kitchen - the restaurant was less than half full so I wonder what it would be like if it was full.

We were quite disappointed after getting a good recommendation. The site and view are great but the food left a lot to be desired. In particular, the duck pate was miniscule, as were the mackerel fillets Service was friendly and pleasant, but slow - I suspect more due to the kitchen than than the waiter/waitress. We were given a minute taste of a white wine when we sat down. I think it was called Bacchus, but that was all the info given. It was a bit thin and acid - maybe it had been hanging around in the bottle for a long time. Certainly it did not encourage us to order a bottle or or to shop for any other wine. I think you miss an opportunity as the restaurant should be a great place to showcase your product in an area where there are plenty of well heeled potential customers.

Not sure whether or not we would recommend or not. We’ve been several times before and always been very satisfied but on this occasion we felt the food and service were not up to scratch.

Another excellent evening at this restaurant with great views over the vineyard. Food was very good. Each course interesting and well presented with differ sample wines to match. Service excellent, friendly and well presented.

Our table for four people was booked for 12.30 pm yesterday, 7 May. Because of an accident on the M25, we did not arrive at the restaurant until 13.20 pm, although I had telephoned your Reception from the M25 to say that we were delayed. On arrival, the waiters were most welcoming and calming and we settled down to enjoy a very good meal in wonderful surroundings. We plan to return.

Enjoyed lunch and view. Found coffee far to bitter and not able to drink

We had a delightful meal at the Gallery restaurant. The service was attentive but not intrusive. We were taken by surprise to have two complimentary glasses of the vineyards sparkling wine as they had noted that I had mentioned when booking that we were celebrating a special birthday.
