Greenhill Hotel Restaurant in Allerdale

We went for lunch one day and dinner another day. Both meals were enjoyable though portion sizes did manage to beat us. The staff were friendly and professional. One star taken off because on both occasions a cat wandered in the bar and dining room going under tables and then jumping on to an empty chair next to us. For us it was not acceptable - we mentioned it and were told it was the resident cat!!

Stayed here and hosted a business function. Everything was superb throughout. Staff so helpful and friendly we didn’t have to ask our needs were anticipated. The accommodation. Is excellent large rooms with gorgeous decor. We were lucky to experience the Sunday roast dinner menu I had the turkey complete with trimmings served piping hot with lots of fresh veggies and extra gravy. Conference support was excellent staff very flexible etc Would highly recommend.

Attended a function organised by a friend. The theme was English and this was kept to really well. Non stop wine for which you never had to signal for. The staff were just there. Menu was solway potted shrimp and Melba toast. Gorgeous !!! Salmon en croute with hollandaise and roasted veg. Husband had huge portion of steak pie. I could have just eaten a full plate of the veg. Everything hot and delicious. Dessert a trio including an orange bread and butter pudding and a lemon posset to die for. Well done Greenhill. Lovely afternoon. Great food. Thank you

We came here for the Sunday dinner, 3 course meal at a set price, food was delicious and very well presented, staff were excellent and looked after us all.

Here for a meeting. So opted for a lunch. Really good choice on the menu. I opted for the club sandwich and chips and was a meal in itself. High standard ingredients with thick cut bacon, fresh salads all in a generous serving. Really good spot for lunch.

Booked this country hotel as on our way back from Scotland. What a great choice! Beautiful Georgian hotel with only ten or twelve bedrooms so they have the personal touch. Very friendly welcome on arrival. Beautiful front bedroom with tasteful decor, modern en-suite and very clean. Great powerful shower and choice of toiletries. We had dinner in the lounge. The fillet steak and roast duck were both outstanding. The duck was perfectly crispy on the skin and succulent with a delicious sauce, easily the best duck I’ve eaten in years. Very generous portions and reasonably priced. The French Malbec was so good and good value, we had a second bottle! Desserts also delicious. A really lovely meal and relaxing evening as the service was attentive and friendly,can’t fault anything at all. Breakfast was served in the beautiful dining room. The full English and eggs Benedict with bacon and spinach were again delicious and served hot with a smile. Can’t recommend this small intimate hotel enough for couples and small groups of friends or family. We will be back!

There are very few places to eat in the area especially Monday - Thursday so when a lady at our accommodation suggested the hotel we booked ourselves in. Its best to make a reservation before you go as on one night they has no tables free. The staff were very good and the food was just as good. The portion sizes are large. I ordered the steak and ale pie with chips and vegetables as peer the menu. I could have had either one or the other and struggled to eat the entire food. Also great value for money and would recommend this venue to anyone in the area.

Had such a lovely meal here yesterday. Beautiful place, calming atmosphere, the food was absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection. 2 roast beef and a tornado Rossini ❤️

Visited today with 6 friends for lunch. Great ambiance and lovely service despite them being busy with what looked like a conference. Every person enjoyed their meal and the staff were lovely . Thank you.

Had a funeral tea at Greenhill today and it was superb. There was an excellent selection of sandwiches, savories, cakes and scones all beautifully presented. The staff were very helpful and supplied a continuous top up of teas and coffees. The conservatory was a nice size for our party of 20 and was stylishly decorated. Could not fault it at all. Thank you all so much for making an upsetting day so much better

Absolutely fantastic! We booked in for afternoon tea (6 adults and 2 children) to celebrate my Mam's 70th birthday. The food was all fresh and extremely tasty, the staff were friendly and couldn't have done more for us. The building and grounds are superb, although the coos were hiding from us. This was quite simply, the best afternoon tea I have ever had. Thankyou so much.

Visited the Greenhill for News Year Day lunch. Special menu for New Years Day with some bold and exciting choices. The hotel is lovely, in a wonderful setting and is very welcoming from the off. On arrival, ample parking, we were shown to our table and offered drinks from an extensive range. The hotel was tastefully decorated for the festive period and is very welcoming. All of the staff are very professional and additionally very attentive and really lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Our starters arrived promptly and all of our group of 6 thoroughly enjoy the starters. Mains came after a break which was just the right length. Most of our group plumped for the full Roast Beef dinner, whilst i had Lemon Sole in lobster and prawn bisque and another of our group had the pork with apple cider cream sauce which he said was really yummy. It was all served on piping hot plates and came with roasted carrots, parsnips and potatoes, boiled potatoes, cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire puds for the beef. ALL the food was delicious including the vegetables which all had lots of flavour and were cooked perfectly, and there was plenty of them for all of us to have plenty to eat. My Lemon some was perfectly cooked and the sauce had depth of flavour and plenty of prawns. Everyone loved the food and empty plates went back as proof! Desserts were similarly delicious and devoured. One of our group was really full so they kindly put his in a take away container to take home. I had coffee crème brûlée which was strong with coffee and just the right balance of sweet with a home made shortbread biscuit. An excellent meal in a lovely hotel with excellent attentive and friendly staff and all faultlessly delivered. A marvellous New Years Day lunch thanks everyone.

My wife and I joined members of our local gardening society for a Christmas meal. The menu had an excellent variety which made reaching a choice quite difficult. All the main courses came with brussel sprouts, carrots, roasted parsips, roast and mashed potatoes. We both had hot smoked salmon, turkey and black cherry roulade. The meal finished with mince pie and coffee. The food was all cooked to a very high standard, in fact it was the best Christmas meal that I have had outside of a family setting. We are really looking forward to our next visit to Greenhill.

Lovely Sunday lunch with family, everyone throughly enjoyed the meal, service, food and location all excellent and good value for money, highly recommend 😀

haven’t been for years due to covid and work. met two close friends. lovely service , nice decor and a damn good prawn linguine. all food looked good. great lunch. thank you

I have eaten at Greenhill on many occasions and it has been really lovely but I've not had much luck lately which is such a shame. The Sunday night 3 course menu is really nice and good value for money. The staff are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Also the Covid measures they have in place are excellent. I have had two dishes from the main menu though which have not been good. The first time I had the 'Crispy Duck' with a Chinese inspired sauce. The duck was anything but crispy, in fact is was soggy and the fat unrendered . There was barely any meat on it and what there was was very difficult to get off the bone. I gave up! The sauce had no flavour at all and was really disappointing. My friend had the seabass which was the smallest fillet of fish I have ever seen and sat in about half an inch of butter. She also declared it as tasteless. The potatoes that came looked like tinned potatoes and weren't great and the chips and sweet potato fries both came out really burnt and unappetizing. Even the veg looks uninspiring. The waitress was lovely and could not apologise enough, however when I mentioned it when I paid, it was not taken well! I have to say the starters and dessert were very nice. I am so sorry Greenhill but based on my last 2 experiences, it is a long time before I will be back.

Food absolutely amazing and a lot of it. Very clean, super fast service and staff very polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Visited the Greenhill for New Years Day lunch today. It was a fixed menu today not the normal lunch menu but there was plenty of choice for everyone. The hotel was very busy and the atmosphere was excellent with a a very family feel today....

This is a regular place for myself and friends and family to visit for lunch, dinner functions etc. I don’t think I have ever had a bad meal, however, I recently attended one of their party nights with my work colleagues and it was not a great meal at all. The hot food was cold and the salads were a poor assortment and had almost gone by the time we got to them, not the usual standard at all for the buffet. Also some of the waitresses, namely one giving out the potatoes was miserable and very abrupt! Disco on the other hand was fantastic! We have already decided we will not be back next year, unless some serious changes are made to the food. Such a shame as it a beautiful place and has recently been decorated.

This is a regular lunch meet for me and my friends as quiet and peaceful The food has always been excellent and the service likewise

We have been regulars at the Greenhill for many years now and popped in for lunch today as it was my wife’s birthday. The food and service at Greenhill has always been excellent and today was no different.I had the tofu katsu curry which was very tasty packed with well cooked vegetables and plenty of tofu. Excellent rice perfectly cooked. Couldn’t fault it at all. All piping hot.My wife had the homemade chicken kiev served with parmesan cream sauce and twice fried chips. It was delicious and she said the sauce was very yummy.The staff are all lovely and the hotel has a great atmosphere and is a very nice place for a drink, to socialise or have a meal.See you again tomorrow evening for the family birthday meal.Highly recommended!!

Prime beef ruined when served with tinned potatoes, tinned carrots, processed green beans; cauliflower without a sauce; identical mass produced factory made Yorkshire puds and soggy roast potatoes. Chef must have had a day off. Starters and sweets were fine.Won’t be back in a hurry.

This isn't the first time that we've eaten at the Greenhill Hotel, but it was our first time for lunch in a while. The Buffalo Burger was excellent, and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and welcoming as always. We will be back!

Went here with my family for Mother’s Day carvery. Great food and staff all really attentive. Had a lovely day. Little problem with kids meal was resolved efficiently and politely. Thank you

Had a beautiful roast turkey lunch. Everything beautifuly cooked. Lovely place . Staff couldn't do enough for us. Great food great staff and very reasonable too. Will definately be back.

We ate in the restaurant twice whilst staying at the hotel. It is a good sized restaurant in a lovely country house hotel. Staff and service were excellent.

Attended a Christmas party night on 14th December in the newly renovated and beautifully decorated function room. Food was amazing (especially considering there were over 200 diners!), staff polite and attentive and entertainment fantastic. A briiliant start to the festive period!

Beutifull setting been recently refurbished food good but had better no bread rolls to start was only table that never got them and there were 16 of us bit of a talking point on table nice to have nibbles before meal.

Called in here on a Friday night for a family meal, very nice setting and lovely food, the staff were also excellent, not a cheap night out but worth it all the same as the food was very good, I will certainly be returning.

Has been updated to a high standard, haven't tried their food since the new owners took over, attending a meeting there mid September so trying the menu then.

Was given voucher for evening meal and overnight stay. As a Christmas gift. Chose Grenville on a whim. Great food great staff location ideal between Carlisle and Lake District lovely village close by. This trip has convinced us to go back to the lake district and we would have no hesitation going to the Greenhill hotel Wigton.

Went for family meal. Menu said twice fried chips. We had starters then main course arrived. We did not touch the chips they were vile. No taste soggy not crispy. Cooked right out of freezer. Terrible. I complained the waitress could see all chips left she said I'll see chef and never came back. After waiting we paid the bill and again complained. All they said was sorry so I said OK but we will not be back for any meals.

Excellent food, very friendly staff, pleasant surroundings. Dog friendly bar area. We were staying at the hotel which is well situated for visiting the area.

This hotel is still living in the 60s, the meals all arrived luke warm , the plates were cold, the gravy in the gravy boat was luke warm, the yorkshire puddings were not even luke warm. The chocolate fudge cake just arrived on a plate with not a drop of cream on or ice cream, it looked terrible and tasted dry.

stayed overnight here beds were lovely, scenery is lovely, enjoyed sitting relaxing within the grounds, not much for children to do the swings have gone,so bring your own ball or toys for children, the rooms are spacey and nice, staff service is second too none, they go out their way too please. fantastic hotel, food is amazing including breakfast although not alot of my family like cumberland sausage so maybe have a choice within sausage range pork sausage cant go wrong but will definetly be back. stunning venue and refurbishment is 5star. thankyou very much. wouldnt hire any other venue now.

We recently visited here for Sunday lunch and were seated in the conservatory. Now first impressions of the room wasn’t great the chairs are well past their best as my pictures show. The food on the other hand was much better generous portions and good quality and everyone seemed very happy, but a few thought the deserts were pretty average the profiteroles were like cheap shop bought ones and the pavlova quite bland

Lovely drive to the hotel, easy to find. Easy friendly check in, our room was no 1.Lovely views over the rolling hills, Bathroom was small but it served what you needed; Was aware that the rooms needed updating, and found this to be the case, could do with better placed sockets as you have to put kettle on floor to use.also could do with a fan in room as unable to turn heating down.The complimentray tray could do with a look at, never had to share a hot chocolate sachet between two people before; two nights running.Could do with a little high dusting round lights.

I treaded my partner to afternoon tea

Lunch with my husband, niece and great niece. Excellent food at reasonable prices and service in wonderful surroundings will definitely be going back.

Service slow and uncoordinated. Food quality good but please stop using tinned new potatoes mixed with fresh vegetables. A pump of real ale would be bonus too.

We have eaten in the restaurant in the past so had certain expectations. We booked a meal between Christmas & New Year. Got dressed up and arrived about 7pm, super decorations, lovely staff. Whilst we sat in the bar area menus were bought to us,...

Have called at the Greenhill Hotel several times recently and can't fault the food, service or the beautiful surroundings. Food is always freshly prepared and nothing is too much trouble for the staff.

Frequent lunches there over the past many years. Recently changed ownership,but on first visit after takeover,just as friendly,accommodating,and great food. Altogether well worth a visit.

Reservamos en un grupo de cuatro para el té de la tarde. El servicio era muy amable y atento, la comida era excelente y en abundancia. El té y el café era libre fluir. El ambiente era genial. Hemos tenido muchos tés de la tarde...

Conocí a unos amigos para comer en el hotel en 15 de Greenhill Marzo.

Encantador y camarera profesional. Comida inconsistente. Daube de carne bien, muslo bien, repugnante panini y incompleta. Tagliatelle probado principalmente de vinagre, claramente la cocina no saben cómo reducir o preparar una buena salsa. Sugiero que alguien que tiene una pasión por la comida funciona el pase. Aunque el plato fue reemplazado, la nueva selección). Este lugar es hermoso, pero necesita un equipo que saben lo que están haciendo. Por desgracia no volveremos, que es una pena, ya que el hotel está muy cerca de donde vivimos y tiene un gran potencial.

The set menu in the restaurant was excellent. We had this on our first night. The a la carte on the second night was impressive. Big choice. Reasonable price. Very nicely presented.

Very lack lustre, staff were too busy with a wedding to bother about us. The menu was limited and every dish was poor, from the soggy chips to the dry steak pie. Never known lamb shanks to be so tough.

I dined at this hotel on two consecutive nights as we were staying here, first night we both ordered platters, one ploughman's and one seafood, not only was the taste and presentation excellent but after doing a quick cost breakdown analysis of the amount of food versus the price, I fail to see how they could make a profit on either, cost £9.95 each. The second evening, I ordered a leek and potato soup as I only wanted something light, and my husband a sticky toffee pudding. The type of soup would not usually be a choice I would go for, however the soup was blended and the chef had used a generous helping of pepper making it very palatable. The pudding was much larger than portions my husband is usually served in other establishments with ice-cream and cream, however due to the fact he was able to do it justice I presume that was also very good. we also had breakfast both mornings which was also cooked to perfection, it was very good to find an establishment where the chef was present at both meals, and the meals did not taste as if they had recently been transferred from a brakes vehicle via a microwave to the table.

My daughters booked afternoon tea today here for my birthday and as always the food was beautiful and staff really friendly and attentive. There was ample sandwiches, scones and cakes and endless amounts of tea or coffee, my daughters also ordered a bottle of prosecco which was a lovely addition to the tea. I would highly recommend Greenhill for afternoon tea or any meals the food is always great.

Lovely afternoon tea with a good selection of sandwiches, pastries and fresh cakes..The lemon drizzle cake was so light and moist. The staff were really friendly and were very happy for us to have two teas between three of us as mam doesn't eat much. 'Exceedingly' good value!

I had a meal here last night with family and although they had a wedding in the function room they still managed to cater for customers in the restaurant. The menu was smaller than usual but the food was just as good as it always is. The staff are always really friendly and helpful and we had a lovely evening meal.Can't wait for another meal out here.

Average function location. Food is OK but not great and drinks are pricey. Lovely photos for weddings. However bar meals are lovely as are the afternoon teas.

It's a lovely hotel with really friendly staff and excellent food that's very good value too. Our favorite is Sunday lunch, reasonably priced and great choices from a set menu of 3 courses. Also the atmosphere and elegance of the lovely rooms (it was originally a manor house) makes it a very pleasant place to sit and have a glass of wine or a good meal. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely afternoon tea! Great selection of sandwiches, cream cakes and tray bakes. Very good value for money. Would recommend.

I had the pleasure of having afternoon tea here yesterday with 11 other family and friends. I have had afternoon tea here before but it was a while ago and it's still as good if not better! You get really nice finger sandwiches, home made sausage rolls and scones with jam & cream and a large selection of cakes including strawberry meringues. There was endless amounts of tea & coffee and the staff were very accommodating as always. This is definitely one of the best places around for afternoon tea.Can't wait to go again.

We arrived in shocking weather to find a beautifully decorated hotel. We were welcomed quickly, and, despite there being a number of Christmas lunch parties, there was no problem in being given a table. The food was excellent, and the portions almost over generous, but we were hungry. A modest bill, and we were out in torrential rain once more!

Popped into Greenhill for a bite to eat earlier today and decided to go for the afternoon tea. It was absolutely delicious and such a big portion.Would definitely recommend.

Had afternoon tea here a good few times and I'm always really satisfied after it. Cakes are great and so is the savoury. Can't wait to go again

Had a meal with family recently, food was excellent and very generous portion sizes. Particularly recommend the Cumberland Grill and strawberry cheesecake!. Also it is a good location, nice old building and nice inside. Only slight criticism would be range of real ale at the bar but not a major problem.

My husband and I stopped here last night for a meal on our way home from Workington.We chose to eat in the bar and the two waitresses on duty wasted no time in getting us drinks and menus. We ordered and waited probably a little longer than normal but it was well worth the wait once we received our meals. I had a roast beef dinner which was served with fresh veg and roast potatoes and it was absolutely delicious. My husband had a mixed grill which he said was equally as nice. The service was really good and the waitress was lovely & very friendly nothing seemed any trouble.We've eaten here lots of times and would highly recommend it and will eat here again soon!

Used the restaurant two nights in early June when staying at the hotel. Friendly Staff good quality food. The steaks were good, being tender with good taste and not needing any sauces or special knifes, which seems the current trend to cover up tough meat with little flavour. Food and drink prices were fair especially when considering the venue. They also did a happy hour menu before 7.00pm, but never tried this.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch on Sunday. The menu on offer was three courses for £18 which was really good value. I had homemade soup to start and my husband had garlic mushrooms, we both had roast beef which was beautifully cooked with plenty of vegetables also well cooked and I had homemade strawberry pavlova for dessert and my husband had sticky toffee pudding which were both delicious. The service was quick considering they had 90 guests in the function room and several in for lunch as well. Highly recommend.

My husband and I and our daughter and partner have just eaten here tonight and the food was excellent. We all had a starter and they were quite large but very nice, I then had the salmon which was beautifully cooked, my daughter had curry and my husband and daughters partner had mixed grill which was huge, we also had various vegetables and a large bowl of chips between us. We all really enjoyed everything we had and wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.

Just had Easter Sunday lunch, food excellent and well cooked. Generous portions although possibly too big for some appetites. Multiple choices to choose from. Service good, especially when staff were silver serving the meat and the veg came in separate dishes for self service. Price was good value for money.Look forward to returning to the future.

Called in for tea before a meeting in the meeting room. Lovely warm place on a January night!Attentive staff and super food, if a bit slow in arriving. We were luckily just in time for the "Happy hour" menu and had 3 superb main courses for just £7.25 each...and absolute bargain in this day and age! Can't fault the food or the place and the staff were super-efficient and friendly...Now added to our "Go to" list.

I stayed at the hotel and took dinner there. Friendly and helpful staff although having to divide duties between bar and restaurant meant service could be slow. The starter portions are huge - too much for me - but were great quality and good to eat . So too was the main but again the portion was large.The menu is strong on grills and this means food is freshly cooked.I can recommend this restaurant but go hungry!

14 off us went to celebrate my mothers 80th.We had sunday lunch. All off our meals which were ordered from the menu were perfect, no complaints what so ever! The service was very good and the staff pleasant and we were well looked after.

at a wedding reception food was excellent, only marked the rating down because the drink (spirits and wines) were expensive and not brands I've heard of.

We have just been for afternoon tea for two today & found there wasn't much sandwiches for the 2 of us but plenty of cakes, the bread on the white was a little stale as if it had been standing out for a while & he fillings not very tasty, the scones were also very dry & crumbly cake selection was very good. I complained about the bread & was offered to have some more made using bloomer loaf which I promptly refused as I had already started on the cakes but the waitress then said she would see if we could get a reduction off the price which for what you get is not cheap £13.95 per person. We were basically left alone all throughout having our tea & didn't see anyone else until we went to pay at reception, my other half went to pay & came out saying there hadn't been any reduction in the price & he was a little too embarrassed to ask for one. All in all we wouldn't return here & neither would I recommend it to anyone else

My husband , myself,sister and dad ate here on Sunday evening as a treat for my dad. We were offered the set 3 course menu and also the bar meals menu. We all ordered from the set menu which had plenty of choice and was very reasonable at £18per person. We ate in the dining room which was lovely and the food was beautiful we had no complaints at all. The staff were very attentive and friendly and all courses were served quickly. I will definitely eat here again and would recommend it for good food at a good price.

Were invited for lunch by friends who go often, but very disappointed this time. Table was sticky, informed this was due to cleaning product build up - not nice start. When we did get the attention of the waitress order was taken in an unhelpful manner. Our meal arrived, but our friends waited another 10 minutes for theirs(after being told it was on the way), by which time we had almost finished ours. The waitress did apologise profusely for giving wrong order to the chef so it had had to be redone, but by that time the treat had been spoiled. Food was average. Probably from other reviews seem to do better at weddings, and maybe we just caught them on a bad day, but we wouldn't be booking a wedding or going again.

I booked the conservatory at Greenhill for my daughters 21st as she wanted a family get together and we have had lots of family parties here. I booked a buffet to eat at 7 and although a little late everyone really enjoyed the food. They had a wedding in the function room so service was a little slower than normal but they did apologise to us, however no one in our party was bothered by this. I have always found the staff to be pleasant and helpful and Malcolm the manager is no exception and always on hand to assist where he can. My daughter and all our guests had a lovely night and I would certainly return, I fact my sister is getting married here in September so we are all looking forward to that.

Stayed here, as we were attending a weeding, and decided to stay over. They food at the reception was lovely, hot and fresh. It all went according to plan. The rooms however are something else. Our room was large, with the bigggest cobweb hanging round the light, obvisouly missed!!My husband went touse the toilet in the morning and to get washed, there was no water for either.My son and daughter in law also stayed and their room was so small, he could'nt move in the bathroom, you could basically sit on the toilet, get washed and have a shower at the same time!The have the market here, and can charge what they want. We stayed at a Premier Inn in Edinburgh a couple of days before, and was far superior in every way to this hotel!!

We visited Greenhill Hotel recently with family and friends, for a wedding reception and a one night short break. The wedding dinner & evening buffet was super. Generous portions of really good quality food was served, with a strong focus on local produce . All staff were pleasant, helpful and efficient. Our bedroom was large, warm, clean & well furnished. The following morning the 'full English' breakfast was excellent, again a strong emphasis on quality local produce. This is a lovely, comfortable country house hotel, well equipped for functions and good bar meals or a short break in the lake district.

Came here for afternoon tea with a friend. We pre- booked and were extremely excited for this treat. When we arrived, we thought we could sit outside, as it is in a lovely location, looking over the fields, however they don't have any tables set up outside? We went to the bar to get a drink, staff were pleasant enough but very slow. We said we had booked and she took us to our table, where the afternoon tea was already set out... and looked like it had been for hours. The sandwiches had gone dry, and wasn't much choice. We didn't complain because there was a wedding party sitting next to us, who were getting married the following day. The scones were nice, but to be honest, we have had better. Disappointed with this because it is such a beautiful building and location and it could be fantastic. It seemed so quiet with just us and the wedding party in, and even the manager moaned how quiet they were.

Had read previous reviews that had criticised service and time for food. It was a quiet evening but the service was friendly, attentive and made you feel a welcome guest. We were advised that the food was cooked to order and as I was having a special chicken dish and no starter it would be a bit of a wait. The food was excellent, well cooked and presented and simple tasty vegetables to complement the richer main course. Neither of us was going to have a sweet but the choice was good and the desert again very good. Tables are large so no fighting for space and lovely view out over the front gardens

Once again on Monday night whilst at Greenhill in a group of 12 the food was first class we are regular diners at Greenhill and always feel very satisfied with the quality, quantity and value for money. I have also had a business lunch twice in the last fortnight and the ham sandwiches were also beautiful and very nicely served with side salad. The staff are always very pleasant.

We came here for a meal with friends and whilst the meal was fine (for a bar meal, not fine dining), the experience was spoiled by the fact that there were many drunken people in to watch the boxing.Sorry but we thought that this was a country house hotel, not some kind of sports bar. The interior is pretty dated and you have to drive or get a taxi so we won't be back.

22 of us went for afternoon tea for a birthday celebration. Its was lovely. Good variety of savouries and sweets and tea and coffee refilled as much as we needed. Staff were friendly and helpfull and we even got boxes at the end to take the left over food home. Cannot fault it and will definatelt be returning.

Really nice lunch in warm and comfortable surrounding and good service. Really good for larger groups for evening meal especially in the conservatory.

We have gone here for maybe 10 years for New Year's Eve!!! We have never experienced anything like this time,,,,slow ,no atmosphere staff miserable,not plenty of them? Waited for buffet to be set out ,we need not have bothered,tatty pot,,steak pie...chicken pie. No thanks, potatoes no salad,no white meat, cold plates, veggie was strange veg,, then ham and children's luncheon meat !!! Disgusting, normally a nice turkey carved to order,to expensive said young lad, Oh then we come to sweets,,,Charlotte russe , profiteroles with custard! My friend and I asked for half a slice of cheesecake young lad was going to do it perfect,when a rude blonde woman in black said ,,,Stop. We can't spoil look of cake,so silly woman cut it in half thro the middle,what happened to customer service,,she had none. Only nice person working that night with a smile was dressed in a lovely black dress with glitter around the neck. She needs promotion!! No wonder they selling,,,,

We booked in for our work Christmas meal a couple of months ago, for 12 people, on the day someone was ill so the organiser rang Greenhill to inform them that there'd now be 11 of us, and confirm that we were booked to eat at 7:30pm. We arrived at around 7:20 and had a drink in the bar and waited for ages before anyone came to take our order, and then waited again for our table to be ready.....which it still wasn't! There was only 10 seats, and no more space, so after a couple of minutes of bemusement the woman brought over another table to add on to the end, which was a bit like when you have a special "kids table" when you don't quite have enough room for everyone. It was at least 8:30 before we got starters, it could well have been closer to 9. We thought things were picking up then as they were beautiful, but then everything went downhill again with the main courses. Most people had turkey, which nobody enjoyed, one had the nut roast which she said was horrendous, someone chose not to eat from the Christmas menu and had steak & ale pie, it looked awful when it arrived, just a splodge of brown on a plate, with the tiniest bit of pastry, and it wasn't enjoyed either. Luckily I went for the pork and it was lovely.....the vegetables on the other hand were not - they were burnt to a crisp, to the point that most people couldn't eat them, the roast potatoes were also awful. The puddings were good, however one person was overlooked and had to ask a passing member of staff to remind someone to bring it! And staff, that was another thing - the service was shocking. Apart from the amount of time it took for us to get any food, not one of them (apart from the lovely lady on the bar) cracked a smile - and one woman in particular was just plain rude. We complained, and they didn't really seem concerned - the woman came back later and informed us that they would be charging us £20.95 instead of £24.95 - why not just put it to a round £20 is beyond me, although to be fair, that would still have been too much! We usually go to the Sun Inn at Red Dial, and in fact our taxi driver pulled up there on the way forgetting that we weren't going there this time - and we ended up wishing we'd let him leave us there! We definitely wont be going back to Greenhill.

We went here for afternoon tea after my graduation. It was really lovely and very well priced (£12.50 compared to the usual £19.50 of other places) but was alarmingly quiet. Admittedly, it was a Tuesday afternoon so that could have had a lot to do with it, but even though the staff were very friendly and attentive, you still felt like you had to be very quiet and almost whisper to each other or you felt like you were shouting. The selection!! There was a big selection of cakes and pastries, so plentiful we couldn't finish them! We ended up taking the leftovers back home with us afterwards and were still picking at them the day after. It was a really lovely experience for one of the best days of my life, though you do need to book ahead so they know how many they're catering for (everyone gets one of everything). It's worth it, but don't expect any of the tiny dainty cakes you can eat in one bite, these ones are real, properly sized cakes and were lovely.
