Leftbank Restaurant in Runnymede

Firstly my expectation of this place was high due to the reviews about the buffet style Sunday Roast. My partner and I made the 100 mile round trip specifically to experience what everyone else had. I have to say that the selection and the food did not disappoint, nor did the dessert section. However, the lack of service and the overall atmosphere was where the restaurant lost me. My partner and I went up multiple times to try different sections so each time we finished a plate, we left it on the side of the table for it to be collected but at one point we had 6 plates on the table not being taken away. The staff were clearly not too busy as there was about 3 in the restaurant alone and around 5-6 tables of people. There was also hardly any atmosphere as the dining area was quiet and no music or background sounds. We understand not everywhere can play music but the result was a very flat feeling dining experience. The one bit that really got us was when my partner kindly asked if we could get a takeaway box as she had a few bits leftover on her plate and didn’t want it to go to waste. We asked a member of staff who said he needed to check with his manager, the manager came over and told us that they didn't have, “Any appropriate containers for our food”. We asked if there was anything else that could possibly be used and she said no. We were very surprised as we’d had afternoon tea there about 2 weeks prior. I also noted that the words used were “appropriate containers”. At the end, when paying the bill I asked the member of staff and was told that, “Actually we have foil but we were told that it doesn’t look good to give people foil”. The fact that we were not even offered the foil seems a bit like cutting corners at the expense of their guests - it might not have looked fantastic but it would have saved a lot of food being thrown away for no reason and it would have meant we could have enjoyed the food that we paid for at another time when we didn’t have a 50 mile journey ahead of us. Out of principle I should have taken off the service charge but I think I was still in shock when I was paying. We won’t be returning as this really left a bad taste in our mouth, given that it was £45pp with service charge and the experience really wasn’t worth the drive or the price in my opinion.

We're really going to miss this place when Warners take over. This has been a treat destination restaurant for locals and SW Londoners like us for many years. It's the only hotel restaurant we visit as non residents. All staff were friendly and engaging as ever. The food was delicious with a huge range of choice and we couldn't resist trying three desserts ! Thank you all at Leftbank for years of memorable riverside dining and too full bellies. We will miss you

Our annual team Christmas do is the buffet here. We did it before lockdown and restarted last year. I highly recommend it. Such a nice venue and atmosphere. The food is great, loads of choice and the staff are brilliant (if not very busy). We're going next year too

We went last Sunday and the food was great. Great selection of starters, mains and desserts as part of their buffet offering. Oddly the service was really poor, unattentive and frustrating. It wasn't busy at all and plenty of staff for the 5 tables occupied. We kept being overlooked. It's rare that I ask for the service charge to me removed but did this time. The food made up for the lack of service but unlikely going back. Furthermore we asked for a little bit of food bagged up this resulted in a disclaimer having to be signed in case of food poisoning including signed by a witness. I have never experienced that before and seems overkill. We came to eat not to review and sign legal documents...

Great range of food, something for everyone and constantly being refreshed and staff are always very friendly

The food was great. Starter, main and desert buffet. Lots of choice, very healthy selection. We went for the unlimited prosecco offer with the buffet. It's supposed to be unlimited for 90 mins but they really stop offering it to you after an hour. Clientele is different. Either retired or groups or women on a Saturday afternoon. We were unfortunate to have been placed next to a really loud group of women who really gave me a headache and ruined my experience. I did complain to two waiters but they neither offered us another table or asked the women to tone down. I was pretty disappointed and am not sure I'd go back again.

Excellent breakfast buffet - both cooked and continental - with a view of the Thames. I especially liked the coconut Bircher muesli.

Usually a very good range of items at the Sunday buffet but not so good this time. No poached salmon and cheeses selection was poor. No coleslaw. Was told that they had run out of salmon. Note to self book early lunch and not one at 3 o'clock...

Love the Left Bank The entertainment and settings are fabulous ! Very sad to find that they are card only though.. there should ALWAYS be an option

Plenty of choice for all three courses with good service. Eat as much as you can for £38 plus drinks. Nice walk along the river and lock after the food.

Gorgeous buffet style restaurant, but not your average buffet! There is so much choice of starters, soup, pasta sltation, noodles station, mains buffet with 3 or 4 coices including fish and vege options. The dessert table is to die for though, wear elasticated waist!! Have a stroll along the Thames after dinner to get your digestion working! Rexommend for fussy eaters and special occassions. Book well in advance!

I have been coming here for years. The starters and desserts selection are great and incredibly delicious. The Sunday roasts are just OK for me now. When you have to argue with the "chef" that you want it rear, and he says that's all he has (well done, not even medium), when you can see in the back, 10 more roast pieces, you wonder. Attitude for him was more important than service. The service otherwise is great. Except for that "younger chef"...

My daughter and I went to the Runnymede Hotel - left bank restaurant yesterday for a Champgne Afternoon Tea and the service, setting and food was amazing. The Staff went over and above to make sure that everything we had was okay and we were offered unlimited tea and coffee included in the price. We will definitely be going again.

Not half as good as it was as a buffet restaurant. Limited menu and no atnosphere. Disappointing this time.

Having frequented this restaurant for about 6 years, I have steadily seen the decline in its food offerings . Not only variety of food but also quality of food seems to have deteriorated . This year I have been twice - once for my dads birthday (birthday fruit plate seemed to be a challenge with a happy birthday written on it and reservations needed to check with chef £12 charge and they couldn’t put his name on the plate as were too busy- and also they had said we could just pick our own fruit off the buffet instead !!). I was annoyed at the reservations conversation at the time but let it slide but now that I am writing this review , feel it prudent to mention .(in March ) Second time was on Thursday with the children - mediocre food and variety poor . Mains especially sad choice and poor quality - dry and fatty and minimal hot vegetable options . Maybe also change the dessert plates so that you can have a choice of the small desserts on offer. Team always polite and efficient .

4.5 star. We ate in the Leftbank as part of a spa weekend. The buffet dinner was included in our spa break, but not drinks. That's fine as that's what we expected. A service charge of around 12.5% is added to the bill at the end for every time you are at the Leftbank restaurant or in the lounge. The buffet is not how I have experienced a buffet before, it's how I would describe a "posh buffet". The waiters will serve drinks to your table and are very quick at clearing away your dirty plates and glasses. A place is set at your table along with cutlery and a serviette before you arrive at your table. The waiters will also happily bring you any extra cutlery you want and are very attentive. Was a good experience with plenty of choice for different foods at a high quality on offer. With the chef located behind the main dishes area on hand to answer any questions you may have. The extra touch of a birthday dessert plate was nice as well for my Husbands Birthday. On arrival to the Leftbank restaurant for breakfast we were given the option to eat in another restaurant that they had set aside for adults staying at the hotel without children, which was a nice option for a quieter breakfast. The staff at breakfast were friendly and attentive. The food was ok, nothing spectacular to say.

Amazing buffet dinner so much choice and the presentation was excellent. Do like buffets as being a fussy eater there is always something I can eat. Restaurant very clean which is always a good point and any accidents were cleared up straightaway. The lady who showed us to our table explained all about the buffet. Think my nephew had a prob with the pulled pork so went up to get something different, prob solved. Drinks as you expect for a luxury hotel were expensive but hey ho enjoyed my wine. All staff friendly. This is a family restaurant and if we go back again we will book a later sitting as a crying baby and two restless children made it uncomfortable for me to concentrate on my guests.

Lovely lunch today - the starter and dessert buffet options great. The mains made the score drop to a 4 as not overly hot - however I do appreciate that it is difficult to keep buffet style food hot. A very pleasant atmosphere and plant gifts for the Mums made it very enjoyable. A big shout out for the staff who were all excellent.

Overpriced Harvester . Drinks Service terrible . Food Bland and dishes empty . Poor main course choice with labels telling you the food contains Sulpher Dioxide !! Drink prices ridiculous and to top it all a service charge of 10% is added to the bill after and it’s a self service restaurant . Shocking Experience to celebrate a 65th Birthday . Never again and avoid at all costs . Terrible place .

Back to a buffet again after Covid. I've missed this place and it was a lovely dinner with colleagues. Looking forward to coming back soon!

We had a family meal at the buffet restaurant today. We were seated but not informed about the buffet and what was available etc. The starters looked as though they had been sitting there all afternoon to the extent the salad leaves were warm!Very minimal selection. The carvery area, the beef was full of fat, the chicken looked dry and the pork stringy. We asked what fish it was to be informed the server was not sure as he didn’t sort the fish today!No label was present! Minimal selection of warm vegetables. The desserts were about the only thing that enthused us. The waiters were not attentive other than to ask was it all ok? And when asked for the bill stood over us with the card machine! All in all a terrible experience and we won’t be returning. Extremely overpriced and charged service yet it’s a buffet

Very limited selection of starters and average quality food for £38.50 per head. Would be better as a normal restaurant so you don't have to pay lots if you only want a main.

This restaurant was recommended to us by friends, and we were certainly not disappointed. The variety on offer, especially for starters and desserts, was amazing. We mentioned that this was a celebratory dinner at the time of reserving the table, and were pleasantly surprised to receive a fancy dessert platter with the words 'Happy Anniversary' on it. The waiter, Giovanni, was so lovely, genuine and friendly.

Had a wonderful buffet Sunday lunch yesterday. The food was outstanding, so much choice and well cooked, beef was a little rare for myself and friend but the chef popped it onto a griddle to cook a little more, absolutely delicious, melted in the mouth. The starters and dessert were amazing would thoroughly recommend this brilliant lunch, overlooking the river. Fantastic lunch. Will be back very soon.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Food and staff both excellent

Shocked at how good this buffet restaurant actually was great choice and quality of food Although not sure suitable for small children unless there was a separate childrens menu ? I would definitely recommend

Similar to previous reviews, I have no problem this is a buffet, the starters and desserts were excellent- I felt the mains were quite limited. The main issue is the price - incredibly expensive for a buffet (£100 for 2x adults, 2 x children) and how they can justify a 10% service charge when you get the food yourselves is genuinely beyond me - 10% of your whole meal for somebody to take your empty plate ? Nice restaurant, nice location, just overpriced for what they are offering.

We went here on a Sunday afternoon for the buffet experience priced at £38 per adult. The 4 of us were seated at a better table after asking to be moved from our original table. The lovely host accommodated us no problem. The choice of starters were very good and the quality was really good. We then move onto the mains which were nothing short of inedible. I appreciate the roasts sit under a heat lamp, but both the rib of beef and pulled pork shoulder were extremely dry & tough. The beef in particular was big chunks and hard to cut and the pork looked like string. However the roast chicken was nice. Our waitress (Annabel) was very nice throughout and she was very apologetic after we asked for the manager to offer feedback. He approached the table(Liam) and was equally as nice, sorry for the poor experience and he hoped that "something as minor as the meat" that it wouldn't spoil our day. (The meat is the showcase). I can honestly say it was the worst meat we have ever eaten. Moving onto dessert these were equally as good as the starters. You must try the bread & butter pudding....devine. Service recovery was offered & accepted by us, which we were grateful for, but ideally would have preferred to enjoy the mains too.

After many visits for Sunday lunch, it has now changed to a buffet. Very disappointing and expensive. £18 service charge and we served ourselves. The food was not to the usual high standard and the service we had was slow. Such a shame but we will not be returning.

Been here a few times and since last visit vast improvement. Evening buffet had a good range well presented. The range of food available was really good and the staff attentive. Breakfast was ok staff attentive and chef on breakfast bar very helpful. Nice views of the river

I was at this restaurant for a business dinner. The buffet menu is very rich, with several good choices. Great salads, good main courses and nice dessert, in a relaxed atmosphere. The price is worth the food and service.

Lovely lunch while catching up with family members. Plenty of choice for each course, good service and a scenic location.

It is so nice to have the buffet back, I enjoyed everything, the staff are polite and friendly. It would be great to have the mid-week lunch buffets back.

We had breakfast with friends at the Left Bank. A fantastic location and we were lucky enough to get a table by the window overlooking the river. Breakfast was self service with the exception of the cooked breakfast which was served by the chef. Great food and service with the exception of the Black Pudding that could have been used to repair the sole of my shoe. Would however have no hesitation in recommending.

We had a pleasant family meal here with a table overlooking the water. Friendly staff. Good portions - we had roast dinner and good crumble and custard for dessert. Plenty of parking and easy access.

Me and my two friends visited this restaurant for a birthday treat and we thought the food was excellent, really tasty and we enjoyed every single dish. It was fresh food and the presentation was completely on point! The chef Adesh, personally came out to...

Amazing steak and fish of the day meals. 6 very happy customers. Excellent attentive service. We all felt it was good value for money. Good variety of starters and puddings.

Ate in restaurant last night and breakfast in the. morning.It was really excellent. We had soup and delicious sea bass- would highly recommend. Staff were great. Breakfast was well stocked and excellent too. Wonderrful hotel .. An individual hotel that is exceptionally well run.

Average food, highish prices, average service

Having been told that you couldn't accommodate a table for 13 in the Leftbank Restaurant, I was a bit miffed that the first table I saw when entering the restaurant had 12 people seated at it! One of my party is only 2 years old...

As said before. Charming place and staff.

This is the main restaurant at the awesome Runnymede hotel, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had several meals here during our hotel stay in December 2021, with the food absolutely fantastic every time. The staff were always smiling and helpful, making for an amazing experience. Well done to all the kitchen and wider team for being so awesome!

We spent a weekend with friends at the Runnymede Hotel, and really enjoyed an evening meal in this restaurant. It was delicious, and the waiter was very good.

Great food, nice ambience, pleasant staff

Easy 5* Really nice restaurant Food delicious Staff wonderful Nestled in the banks of the river Thames so location great

This was a belated Father’s Day meal. The food (roasts all round) was really good, and actually very reasonable for the portions we received. It’s just the service was pretty poor. Took an age to get our starters cleared up. The staff were not very...

Screaming children from corners of the room, and the service was terrible. One of the waiters called John just looked like he didn’t want to be there. Mumbling his words, didn’t communicate properly when we asked for our bill, resulting in a delay, when we...

The food was amazing, the atmosphere was lovely and the service was great. I will definitely be returning back here.

Had dinner and found the staff friendly. We had to get a special meal for an allergy sufferer. This was not an issue and we had a very good meal.

Our first meal out since lockdown. The perfect place to go. The meal was excellent, service great (as always). We had a great evening on the terrace, well spaced out. They made my 79th birthday just great. The preparation for Covid 19 was in place,...

Fabulous meal at the Leftbank, celebrating our 20th anniversary- both of us had hangar steak, gorgeous! Really recommend! Good portion sizes and great taste. We were also looked after really well.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel and ate in the Leftbank restaurant for our evening meal and breakfast each day. The food choice is very varied and of good quality. The only thing we would of preferred it to of been served rather than self service, as it is more relaxing not to have people constantly walking past getting their food.

Love coming to The Leftbank Restaurant, the sunday lunch is always worthwhile. Great choice in a buffet style. The carvery is delicious, deserts are amazing too! I brought a friend and he was really impressed. Such good value as well as everything is included in the price. The only negative was the staff clearing away the plates on the tables quickly. They seemed quite under pressure, but it was very busy. Would definitely highly recommend.

I order a burger and i said i’m milk allergic and that i don’t want any sauce. They remove the cheese, what it is ok, but they leave the sauce, explaining me that the sauce hasn’t milk. Ok, but i said that don’t want the sauce. It is easy...isn’t it?

Used to be good, but had a poor experience last night. We went as a family of four and had a meal in the left bank restaurant. The table service was quite poor and the bill had a £13 service charge slapped on automatically. The total bill was £126 plus tip, making £139. I left £130 truly believing it was sufficient under the circumstances. The waiter came back twice saying it wasn't enough money. I explained once that the service charge was optional and that I have left enough including an appropriate tip. This was rejected and the waiter again insisted I pay the full amount as it was not enough. I explained again about the tip. He came back yes again to query how I would make up the shortfall in the bill. I was forced to stand my ground and insist in front of everyone that I wasn't paying the full tip. Automatically slapping on £13 tip for poor service is one thing. To then repeatedly question and confront a customer over not paying the full tip in front of everyone is quite another thing altogether. I left the restaurant feeling both humiliation at the confrontation but also annoyance knowing that actually I was right. The tip is optional, discretionary, and voluntary. Putting it automatically on the bill could be seen as a helpful reminder, thank you, if you want to see it that way, but repeatedly insisting it is paid and that I have made a mistake in leaving a smaller tip and ignoring my explanation is just plain wrong.

Fresh, diverse buffet of English/French/Mediterranean catering to all likes. An excellent venue for any occasion with an impeccable drinks list, ranging from the healthy smoothies to the fine whiskeys and cognac. The kitchen staff are well versed in the food production, give great descriptions and provide excellent recommendations. I love this restaurant. The food selection is presented elegantly and the depth of flavor is very impressive. 5 stars that are well deserved. Thank you very much.

Excellent buffet. Tremendous choice especially starters and puddings. The wine list has a good range and a good number of them are available by the glass. The house red is excellent value for money.

Just lovely in here, great service, food, friendly staff - well worth a visit 😊

Booked the Runnymede as 2 of my friends were celebrating birthdays and I couldn't think of anywhere better than the Leftbank.My reservation was dealt with promptly by Sharron and I also received a text reminder.An added bonus to our booking it included an offer of bottomless Procecco!!! What's not to like with an fantastic array of food,gorgeous location such a huge selection.The service was great a special shout out to Gary & Iseof (joseph?)who were super attentive and made the afternoon fabulous.Can not wait to return & would highly recommend.

The Leftbank restaurant at the Runneymeade is just great-Buffet style with tremendous variety of hot and cold dishes which are superb-and presentation is greatYou need a large appetite to appreciate it but that’s easy as it’s so inviting Special Little Ducklings dinners for the kids are an added bonusService here is impressive as it is in all areas of the hotel

My first buffet. Delicious, fresh and amazing dish selection. We sat by the river and shared a bottle of wine. Absolute idyllic, and I was completely stuffed. Thanks!

We have enjoyed many excellent Sunday lunches at The Leftbank. The buffet is very good with a variety of both starters & main courses.The staff are extremely attentive & nothing is too much trouble & the setting by the river is second to none.

Not great for vegetarians I was really looking forward to our night out here, and it was going well with the starters, so I eagerly went over to the mains section and was greeted with all meat and fish options. When I asked the chef what he had for vegetarians he pointed at the fish. In the end I ordered some noodles, which turned up so salty I couldn't eat it. So I've given a 3 for starters and dessert and atmosphere, but really disappointing that there was not a thought given to vegetarians. There were 5 in our group alone.

Having eaten at the Leftbank before and loved it we booked for a relatives 82nd birthday. On the day a friend warned me that she had recently felt the quality wasn't as previously experienced.Service was as good as always but the food was disappointing. We all loved the selection of starters but when it came to the mains, every meat on the table was over cooked and dry. Being early in the week it wasn't very busy; a member of my party was able to see people leaving the buffet. The tray of chicken joints remained largely untouched and was under a heat lamp for the 2 hours we were there. No wonder everything was dried out. There are a choice of specials on a board but these weren't pointed out to us and we noticed them after we had finished, we weren't told. I 'm not sure I would rush to return, which is a real shame.

Booked in for dinner but very disappointed, food was cold, tasteless and dry. £68 for 2 people without drinks I expected a lot more. Not many options or varieties, the only thing that was nice was the two tiny bits of lamb we were given. Desserts were awful and dry. Also had breakfast which was slightly better but still not worth it for the price. Scrambled egg is tasteless watery mush with a crust on top, 4 different types of bacon that taste the same and full of fat. The sausages however were lovely. I'd say for that price range it's one of the worst meals we have had.

Came to the Leftbank restaurant straight after a pamper day at the Runneymede's spa and we were HUNGRY! Well, no problem as the buffet at the Leftbank is the most plentiful and varied we have ever encountered. Amazing service and awesome food- loved it.

There was a Great selection of food for starters, mains and desert. You can tell alot of time and effort has gone into preparing and cooking the food. Would highly recommend.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we were given an explanation if how it all worked.

My family and I had been here before on a few occasions, so chose this restaurant (Leftbank) within the hotel, to celebrate my mother-in-law's 82nd birthday. We'll, the food was so disappointing. The selection of food, in particular the mains buffet, was poor. The roast beef was burnt to a crisp. The lamb tasted of...I'm not sure what it tasted of but it certainly didn't taste of lamb. No one had the chicken so I can't comment on that. Probably the best section was the starters buffet. Quite a comprehensive selection. The desserts were pretty average. The custard was like water ! I was, like all the guests at the table, very disappointed in the quality of the food and for sure will not be returning here. The price you pay for this buffet is not cheap and therefore you expect something much better than what you'd get at the Toby Carvery.! . The service was probably the only good thing. No complaints there. I would not recommend going to this buffet based on my experience last night.

Have always wanted to go here, so booked for our Anniversary. We were lucky to have a window seat with a view of the river which was good in spite of the rain! The meal was excellent, with appetiser buffet, then fresh pulled beef, lamb shepherds pie and tasty spicy chicken kebabs. There was a variety of vegetables, new roasted potatoes, etc. The desserts were excellent too, as was the service! They also served us a chocolate anniversary dish, very thoughtful, thanks and thoroughly recommend this for a special occasion!

I've eaten here several times and have always been impressed. On this occasion I visited for Halloween lunch with family and, whilst the restaurant was quite busy, standards were still maintained. Excellent choice of starters, varied and interesting main courses (the beef pie was a delight!) and tempting desserts. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Halloween too. We'll return one day.

What an amazing place! The food is to die for, the service, is top notch, and the drinks are amazing! It was y first time here, but certainly not my last. This place has something for everyone.

We really enjoyed our breakfasts both uk and continental. Also live cooking is well catered, something enjoyable for everyone. No staff bothering, really helpful and polite. Yes a la carte is also great but leftbank isan easy option!

My friend and ate at the restaurant at lunch time. I had no idea what to expect, but it went beyond expectations. The staff were attentive, without being too intrusive; the starter buffet was amazing and had so much choice; the mains were delicious and there was a huge range of dessert.

Found the restaurant by chance, went looking for a place to have a buffet lunch and the leftbank came up in the search.

The setting is very pleasant , especially if you can get a seat near the windows overlooking the lawns and the river, and the staff and service are delightful. But, although the buffet of salads and starters is interesting, very varied and good quality, the main courses have a tendency to be overcooked ( through being left under the heat lamps for long periods) or stodgy and inauthentic ( the pasta dishes). The cheese board is banal and the desserts are just the usual run of the mill stuff - creme brulee, cheesecakes etc. A good and not over priced wine selection is a positive.

The food is always fresh and varied, great restaurant to meet for business or pleasure.

i booked this restaurant as an anniversary present for a dear couple to me .

Excellent setting and service. Visited for family birthday. Thought buffet style would be great for variety of tastes but disappointed that there was no plain meat e.g. ham or prawns on the starters buffet. Everything was in sauce or a dressing which didn't suit our fussy eaters. Also the beef main was smothered in a mustard coating. Good if you like "made up" food and excellent veggie options. If you prefer plain meats and fish not ideal. Quite expensive for children who eat little, £16 per child.

Six of us had a very filling and excellent lunch for £36 each including three glasses of wine and three coffees. Very good value.

Been here several times and I don't even live close! Every time I leave with a full tummy and a smile on my face. The food here is incredible and there is so much to choose from. Such good value for money and never disappoints. If you love buffets but are getting fed up of the rubbish quality, this is the place for you. Every portion is the standard youd expect from a good restaurant.

What can i say. Top top quality food and service

Amazing breakfast in the lovely restaurant overlooking the river Themes. Huge selection of hot and cold food to suit all tastes. Freshly cooked items by the chef who is on hand to meet your requirements. The staff are friendly , helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food, terrible service, staff when we were there useless, did I not seem to know what they were supposed to do, did nothing and were admonished in front of us, perhaps better ways to manage performance.

Oasis of peaceful riverside afternoon just in crook of London super highways!

I have been here twice recently, a dinner for 10 of us and this time a casual business lunch for 2.

We have been before but the buffet lunch today was perfect! Food was amazing and the service from Ria and Gary was exceptional

Just got back home after a glorious afternoon tea here today, and had to write a review immediately!

We have been visiting Runnymede Left Bank for over 7 years, and in recent experience the quality, options and service has deteriorated massively. Especially, if you have gluten intolerance, options are very limited. I remember from years ago, where the on demand mains were prepared with flavours, fresh and good quality. My latest experience was a disaster, where vegetarian main options were roasted peppers, flavourless pasta and greasy pizza. I would highly recommend the management to consider a different, fresh and latest menu with more vegan, vegetarian and free from options. Not changing with times is not an option and I would be really sad to see if they don’t do keep up with changing consumer behaviour and needs.

I have visited several times over the years and it’s been let down in the past by poor service but this time the service along with the food was very good and I will be back soon

The food was AMAZING!!!!! The choice for breakfast and dinner were the best I have experienced and we weekend away a lot and have done so for many years.

Food is served from a buffet and there is no shortage of choices.

Good food. Reasonably priced and wonderful views.

Amazing food and a huge selection. Great value for money and amazing service. Thank you

We love this restaurant...been a few times usually for Sunday lunch. Food is always great and a fab selection. Lovely setting too. This time it was a mid week dinner to celebrate our son finishing A levels. We booked on line a few weeks before. Be aware - The restaurant sends an email asking you to reconfirm your booking. (From experience at other restaurants I’ve only had to confirm if I no longer want the booking). We were lucky they had availability which may not always be the case due to popularity. So top tip - read the email when it comes! Reconfirm in advance. Enjoy...

We are regular visitors to the hotel as Spa Members & on occasion will have Sunday lunch which is an excellent carvery option.The food provided really in my opinion is top quality with an abundance of choice for the first course, excellent roast meat with trimmings & a very varied choice of desserts.The staff are very attentive & efficient & there is obviously the option to dine by the river during the summer months We will continue to visit.

The food and the service were excellent, and I especially appreciate having a view of the Thames during my meal.

Came here for dinner with a friend. Buffet style, huge choice of starters, mains and desserts, all delicious. We had a window seat too which was lovely watching the Thames on a beautiful evening. Would recommend.

I have been to the Leftbank restaurant many times, usually for a working lunch with my colleagues, however we recently visited as a family, for my mums birthday. The ambiance in the evenings is wonderful, and the usually plentiful display of food is even more abundant. The staff are friendly, informative and will go out of their way to ensure you have a good time.

Well what can I say amazing delicious spoit for choice. Outstanding staff Ben Kent Gary Assistant what a great team Hayley manager must be proud of them all. Nothing was too much trouble. Special and surprise treat for our friends birthday. So attentive to our needs. Will defiantly be back again .
