Looking at the sample menu and claims that the local people rate this venue highly, I can only assume they are still operating under Covid conditions. The menu is very basic bar food - think burger and chips, fish and chips, pizza ( choice of pepperoni or nowt) and a selection of sandwiches. Extremely disappointed. Have stayed with this Chain of hotels before albeit pre Covid and the food was fabulous. Not so here.

The venue recommends letting the restaurant know any dietary problems ahead of time and having followed their advise we were not disappointed with their attention to detail and the choice of food. The cost was reasonable given the venue.

What a wonderful evening to have an early Christmas treat. Food and service were very very good. Lovely venue, just that bit special. Prices were amazing value, table dressed with all kinds of fun things. Must also say they do a wonderful traditional afternoon tea, also at a very reasonable price. Waiting staff very attentive and happy people

Didn’t intend to eat in the Hotel Restaurant on our arrival but so pleased that we did. The pork belly and the chicken with tarragon were superb. Breakfast was equally good. Will certainly visit again.

Received a buyagift voucher as part of a retirement present from my staff and one of the options was a 3 course meal for 2 including a bottle of wine at this restaurant were we had just booked 2 nights to finish off a river cruising holiday on the Rhone. We had the choice of the full a la carte menu and both my wife and I really enjoyed each of our courses. I had mussels to start with and a finger bowl and additional napkin were brought automatically (which doesn't always happen). The maitre d's wine suggestion was excellent.

I attended this restaurant today with my wife and a group of friends from our Sunday Walking group. We had booked a Xmas meal but had decided to celebrate it in January. We collected our drinks from the bar and entered the restaurant. Our group table was laid out nicely in a festive style, with hats, festive serviettes, poppers, Xmas crackers, etc. Our starters arrived after a short wait. I had ordered the Butternut squash soup which was really quite good, topped with a tasty oil and some cream frais. Our main course of baked cod was a real let down however, it had been over cooked (or left on the pass far too long?), and so was dried out. It was edible but not enjoyable, which was a real pity, because my dessert of poached pear with a ?blueberry coulis and a citrus ice cream was really delicious. Coffee and mini mince pies were served at the end of the meal and the service was excellent. I would gladly have awarded a 4 star rating had the main course been of the same quality as the other courses, but as it was, I would not eat here again.

An annual group 'supper' with 80 friends started with drinks on the terrace, setting a stylish scene overlooking and surrounded by the beautiful Cliveden countryside. This number challenges a hotel's capabilities to deliver all those things we look for on a special night out. In this case the preselected dishes were known to whom and where each individual was seated. The service under the direction of two maitre'ds resulted in a smooth delivery to all the tables, with no one kept waiting. What's even more important was the quality of the food which beat other experiences elsewhere. Tip - a nice place to use, pre/post Heathrow, Windsor etc. And we can attest to the quality of their Afternoon Tea too.

Happy Birthday lunch was a winner here. My wife and our daughter's family were suitably impressed by the delicious food and the kind service with the grand children. The linen, cutlery and tableware were all spotless. No wonder we will be likely to return to celebrate with more meals here.

On arriving at Grovefield House the grounds are a welcome site and you do feel it is going to be a great experience. The Staff whp served us our welcome drink were pleasant but not very generous with measures and half a glass if that were poured into short wine glasses. The food was then ready to be delivered to the tables. The first course I had was the Leek and Potato soup which was pleasant but I have had better or the same out of a tin. Others around me had the Pate on Toast which was adequate but the toast that was served was so small it was not enough to use the Pate. The fish starter was so small it was nearly not visible so not recommended for the hearty eater. Then came the Main, I had chosen the vegetarian which was inadequately small, bland and not appetising at all. It arrived with pea sized potatoes around the outside and a sprig of rocket. The Chicken main was a little bigger as was the Salmon main but nobody was impressed and were all very disappointed. After the disaster of the first 2 courses we all waited for the Sweet. Unfortunately the majority had gone for the Brule it arrived in a very small ramekin with a sweet basket and 2 Yes 2 rasberries. The Brule was a total disaster, the topping was totally made up of Salt it was a very big disappointment and in fact unpalatable. Complaints were coming from all directions they did replace it with a sorbet but was not even enough to cover the bowl. The tart however was commented on to be pleasant. All in all I would not recommend as this was Overpriced, Unpleasant and a real disappointment. I would not recommend and to be honest you would find a much cheaper pleasant place to eat and party just down the road so Sorry Grovefield House you have lost my vote.

Booked a midweek lunch for my wife and myself at this restaurant in the Grovefield Hotel. We vaguely remembered visiting the hotel some years earlier. The decor was unchanged. We were shown into the restaurant which was empty and chose a table overlooking the gardens which were well kept. The menu was limited (set menu only) - 2 coursed £24.95; 3 coursed £29.95; We both started with the Salmon Roulade, my wife chose the Cod Loin for her main and I had the Duck. I ordered a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon but was served with Sauvignon Blanc - this was duly replaced with the correct wine. Before the food arrived we thought we were in for a disappointment, but 'quel surprise' the food was excellent. Only towards the end of our meal did the restaurant start to fill ..... the early comers for 'Afternoon Tea'. We learned that during the week Afternoon Tea was more popular than Lunch. An additional bonus was that the restaurant also subscribes to TasteCard Diners Club. Overall worth a visit for the Lunch and I also have reliably been informed the Afternoon Tea.

Used Virgin experience voucher for lunch for 2. Venue was lovely the restaurant overlooked the garden and the trees were in blossom very pretty. Waiting staff were excellent. We had a glass of Merlot wine each. For starters we had Welsh fish cakes on a bed of slightly pickled vegetables for starters. Good flavour and plenty of fish filling. For our mains we had ribeye steak and roast breast of duck. Meat was tasty and succulent the jus was beautiful on both dishes and vegetables were cooked to perfection for us. We finished with the Chocolate which was baked fresh and served with ice cream and berries. It was lovely. The food presentation was excellent. Would definately recommend a visit

We had a family meal for my mums birthday. Helene at The Grovefield coordinated the meal and it was faultless. The staff were lovely and so welcoming, we were waited on and never without a drink! The food was super and the room was dressed perfectly and really felt special. I would recommend this hotel/ restaurant to anyone. Thanks!!!

Nine adults with a dog and a baby booked in advance for a birthday lunch for a 77 year old lady at 12.30 . A t around 1.15 we were told that the power was about to go off because it was on a prepaid meter and could not be topped up at weekends, so we could not have our meal. Why is a pub on a prepayment meter? Why did they wait so long to tell us? They offered a 10% discount on our next meal. Would you book again?

A real old fashioned country pub. The pub has simple reasonably priced food and Fullers ales . Very dog friendly and run by a landlord who is willing to make an effort to make his business successful. Knowledgeable , hands on friendly with his customers.. a really refreshing experience. We will make this a regular visit. Thank you.

Such a beautiful country pub. Parking available outside and across the road. It’s like stepping back in time when you walk inside with a cosy atmosphere and even a wood burning fire on when we went. There’s a pretty outdoor garden which would be lovely in summer. Staff were friendly and welcoming whilst the food was simple but affordable and very tasty. All in all, we loved it! 🥰 Tip- it was busy on Saturday afternoon (they only serve food until 3pm) so I would recommend calling ahead to book a table.

My friend took me to the restaurant for a special birthday. I ordered pizza it was amazing not too stodgy and very light but filling. Can’t remember what my friend ordered but she liked it too. The lady that took our order was very attentive her name was Kelly there was another waitress that checked to see if everything was ok. It was a busy night there were two big tables next to us but we didn’t feel intimidated and were well looked after. Thank you for a lovely evening to remember for my birthday x Ps dessert was fantastic
