Monty's Inn in New Forest

Best “pub food” I’ve had in years and delicious baked Tunworth to share as starter

Ordinary pub food but overpriced and no real atmosphere.

Such a cosy place in this sweet town! We managed to order a few minutes before the kitchen was about to close and the portions were extremely generous! Fresh and tasty cod with an amazing tartare sauce highly recommended!

We had a wonderful meal at Montys. We had our two dogs with us and they were given dog beds, treats and water. They loved it and it made for a relaxing meal with our dogs snoozing beside the table. Food was lovely and staff were great. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful evening at Monty’s for my son’s birthday. The lady that served us went above and beyond for him and made the evening extra special which meant so much. A massive thank you to her. The food drinks and puddings were all delicious and presented beautifully

Third time visiting this place first time food was cold so they took back brought it out again and it was still cold 2nd time place was half empty but chef was too busy to cook for us third time booked for 4 people but they only laid the table for two. Each time staff have been very polite but not a friendly atmosphere I must say the third time the food was very hot which was great. we also waited over twenty minutes for our bill in the end we went to the bar and paid

Great service and food and really dog friendly, our dog loved his dog dinner! Lisa and Lucy were both super friendly and welcoming

Brilliant service….Lucy was outstanding- such a positive attitude and genuine effort to make our evening comfortable and memorable!

It's been at least a couple of years since mum and I visited Monty's, which is part of Montague Hotel and Restaurant, Beaulieu. At that time there was a bar menu and we each had a sandwich and a pint, the place was lively and we enjoyed ourselves despite noisy children. Our return visit was awful. We walked into the bar area and no staff (the barman was changing a barrel but this wasn't relayed to us when I went to the restaurant side to find a member of staff). Lifeless and souless. The customers comprised a family with a noisy barking dog who thankfully left and a chap sat by the fire. I asked for a bar menu and the reply was "we don't have one but we have a restaurant menu". I scanned it and thought at nearly £30 per dish for a main course....no thank you. I went back to the bar area and mum spotted that there was 'soup of the day' being advertised which was being served with a toastie (mum would have the soup and I would have the toasty). I then ordered 2 halfs of Flack Manor's Romsey Gold. I set up a tab and the 2 halfs came to £7... you do the per-pint maths. Far too expensive, even by London prices and this is only 4% ABV. Even Molson Coors Blue Moon 5.4% is only £6.80 in establishments near to this place, and is of far superior quality. The few (and young) staff present needed more experience in working in a bar and being able to offer banter with customers and the lack of any atmosphere caused me to cancelled our food order, pay for our drinks and leave. It was the first time I have ever cancelled a food order in my life. I'm unsure who owns this place and whether it is part of Lord Montague's empire. If you're wanting an up-market meal then yes, this would be perfect, eating in the restaurant. But for what should be a lively bar with its own menu then please don't bother. You will be disappointed. This place has so much potential but is desperately lacking personality. Maybe it relies to much on its location, the seasonal tourists and the fact that there is no other bar in the village. Running a bar with hotel and restaurant staff doesn't work.

came in at lunch, lovely food Lisa behind the bar was very welcoming and friendly we talked about the local beers Lisa was very acknowledgment about the local beers which I very enjoyed I will come back for the food and the local beers well done to Lisa for her professionalism.

Underwhelming meals. Overpriced for flavour and presentation. Service was slow, inattentive, and basic. Atmosphere non existent. Had the Beef Risotto at £32 and my wife , the Smoked Haddock £27. Risotto was only ok, and haddock was overcooked with rubbery skin and not much flavour in rest of dish. Mentioned this to waiter...nothing. With a couple of ok starters, but without drinks, bill was over £90 for 2. This is poor. Having had a couple of great meals in St Ives (Silco and Portmeor Beach Cafe) last weekend, for less money and better on every metric, this was disappointing. Eaten many times at Balmer Lawn in Brickenhurst and quality of food and the experience was much better. Will not be returning to Monty's.

Very slow service, food was underwhelming for the price, celeriac soup didn't taste great. They forgot to add bits to it which people at the other table got. Cheese cauliflower dish was also average. Boiled cauliflower with bechamel sauce rather than cheese. Won't be making it back.

We booked lunch having read about the new head chef at Monty’s Inn (and The Terrace Restaurant). We were extremely disappointed. The whole meal was overpriced and terrible value for money. At £15, the chalkstream trout starter consisted of a few narrow, thin strips on a small plate. Monty’s Inn should be embarrassed to serve such skimpy portions. It was a crime to charge £32, for the slow cooked beef blade bone marrow with saffron risotto & crispy onion! The risotto was bland and didn’t taste fresh. The beef was dry and where was the bone marrow? The staff just went through the motion of serving. The place was soulless and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Do not waste your money here. We cannot recommend Monty’s Inn at the Montague Arms.

Bar restaurant is beautiful....the 3 dogs well looked after. Dad had a starter but it was hunt the trout, not worth £15... Husband enjoyed the burger and dad enjoyed his fish and chips. But, me and my mum found the roast dinner to be average, it was luke warm and the veg cold with very little gravey not worth £25-30 cost. Will not revisit Monty's Inn. We would return to the Montagu Arms restaurant.

My first time ive been to this place for my cousins wifes 40th birthday. The staff were very friendly on arrival and the food was very nice as well. Would defo recommend this place

Visited for an early evening drink at the bar with our young dog, comfortable cosy ( dog beds supplied) staff Lisa and Harry made us so welcome and provided treats for the pup, 5* friendly service thank you guys

Ive called in to Montys a few times and have always received a very warm welcome, sometimes it's been quite busy but always welcomed with a cheerful smile. I popped in tonight and I must say how charming the bar staff were. Thank you Lisa and Harry for a pleasant hour with your passing chats and great service

Something of nothing. We’d seen great reviews of the food here and as staying down this way decided to try it. Can’t deny the food tasted nice, it was poorly presented, with a lack of care or finesse. Steak, nothing like pictured, just a slab a meat on a plate with a basket of chips - I could have cooked it just as well at home and presented it a lot better. Salmon, just a piece of salmon and a pot of salsa, potatoes substituted for carrots, but just laid on plate. For what you get I would say 30% over priced. Staff not attentive enough, left empty glasses on table even when serving food. A shame, was hoping it would have been a lot better.

We went for Christmas lunch, what a great service and may thanks to Harry,Cally,Brad,Katie and Lilly. It was very busy and the sevice was excellent. Many thanks and happy Christmas.

Went for Sunday lunch as a birthday treat. The service was very good and food arrived quickly. We ordered the roast and it was delicious. Would recommend.

Lovely hotel casual dining. Lisa, Brad, Lucy, Ollie, and Callum took excellent care of use. The menu was fun and offered a nice selection of Sunday roasts.

The hotel itself is absolutely divine. We went for a pre walk coffee and customer service was excellent. Lovely touches like complimentary mulled wine and sweets! However we went to Monty’s inn for a roast dinner and the meal was very disappointing. My roast came out cold, the waitress offered to ‘re-heat it and returned with the same cold roast on a hot plate. The service was pretty poor, the staff seemed stressed and the food was cold. I’d absolutely not return to the gastro pub but the hotel itself is stunning. They seem like completely different companies.

Great location, service and food.

Great service. Amazing food and affordable. Great with children. My son really likes the chips. Highly recommend.

Good service from Brad and Issy Delicious food, albeit that Caesar salad was short on salad and long on Chicken and dressing.

We had a great evening at Monty’s Inn - the staff were all so welcoming, delicious food and a log fire! The highlight was amazing hospitality from Callum, Oli C and Harry

We had two consecutive dinners at Monty’s, both occasions didn’t disappoint. Brad and Lisa managed the bar and front of house well. The bar has a good mix of hotel guests and locals creating a friendly atmosphere. Would recommend.

I went in today with my family and our dog for lunch. The food was delicious and Lisa at the bar is very friendly, bringing out a bowl of water and a dog bed for Murphy. I’ll definitely be returning.

What a terrible lunch. First, if the menu (a short one, which you would think had been prepared for the day) advertises mackerel, why do you get told after the order that there is no mackerel but they do have bream ? Not as if this was a late sitting and the mackerel had sold out; they must just not have had mackerel! Second, why was the bream smothered in a rather awful pesto clearly straight out of a jar? So overpowering that even after scraping the stuff off, I just couldn’t get rid of the garlicky stench of the fish. Thirdly, how come a butternut squash main is £22, while the bream is £20: where is the market sense in that? Fourth the presentation of sausages wrapped in bacon was frankly quite disgusting, amateur and unpleasant to behold. Finally how come the total bill for two came to £30, yes £30 more than yesterday’s lunch at Chewton Glen? If I am asked why did I not complain, the answer is that having a row is not why I go out for Sunday lunch! Is this trading rather too heavily on the now rather passé Montagu name? Really not worth the effort, much less the price.

Lovely place sadly there for a wake, the buffet was very good and it is a nice place with a real log fire.

Cosy country inn, most excellent service, bith restaurant and bar side. Toasty open hearth fire for drying off a weary traveller.

Great visit here and felt very well looked after. Many thanks

Very quiet on a weekday lunchtime. Very dog friendly in the bar and restaurant, we chose the comfortable bar. The dog biscuits went down very well with our furry friend. Flacks beers and Somerly cider were very nice. Haddock and chips was possibly the finest fish I've had, truly crispy beer batter and a lovely piece of fish. The full Monty burger was very good too.

Friendly staff, extremely good food, dogs made to feel very welcome. It was quiet on the weekday lunchtime we visited, hence 4 stars for atmosphere.

Ordered the roast beef. I asked them not to put gravy on but they did. Beef excellent but only two slices , at that price I expected more. Selection of green vegetables would have really good if they weren't cold. A hugh Yorkshire pud that was overcooked . The carrot was nice . Roast potatoes had leathery skins. For the price I definitely expected better.

Lovely countryside pub with decent food.

Convenient location and pleasant setting for a family meal. Excellent dinner. Flavoursome dishes made with quality ingredients, served by helpful and professional staff.

Delicious fish and wines. Very welcoming. Dog friendly. Good location. Cosy. We didn’t have room for pudding. Nice bread to start.

Unfortunately my first 2 meal choices from the menu were not available so I had to settle for a simple risotto, so 3 star rating for food is because it's a simple dish. I ordered a dark rum with coke but didn't receive it. When I asked about my drink when my meal arrived I was informed they had no dark rum. Ok, so why wasn't I asked if I wanted something else? They were fairly busy when we arrived so service was slow but this improved when a couple of waiters from the main hotel restaurant came across. I feel sure things would have been better if they hadn't been so busy.

Staff very pleasant but food average (Caesar salad poor) two of the worst cocktails ever £14 a knock for mainly soda water very expensive area so prices didn’t surprise but wouldn’t survive a week in central cardiff. (Cocktails almost knocked it down to two but left at three for the staff).

Nice food and local specialities but service was poor and our bill had an extra £8.50 added for non alcoholic drinks that we had not ordered. It was hard to spot and while we were given a cash refund we had to go back a second time to get the service element refunded. Check your bills carefully!

Booked online. Arrived,told table not available,so sat in bar area,with barking dogs. Bar top full with dirty glasses. Finally managed to order a drink and food.Food arrived quickly and was OK.On paying the bill,charged £4.50 for bottled water despite asking for tap water,also a service charge,which we didn't agree with,as the service was terrible.Overpriced,poor menu and terrible service,will not be returning

My partner and his son visited yesterday. They ordered 2 food items and 2 drinks - after waiting 40 minutes they enquired how long the food would be. He was then informed the order had not been sent to the kitchen. My partner then cancelled the order and asked for refund. This took another 15 minutes to get a refund because they had to find someone who could do the refund. At no point was an apology made, and still charged for the 2 soft drinks. We can all make mistakes we get that, but to not even offer an apology is something else.

Very friendly German speaking staff, very nice clean ambiente

Beautiful restaurant and pub, lovely staff. Well worth stopping and sitting out front and watching the chaos of cows and donkeys causing traffic jams.

The whitebait were crispy and a good portion for starters. You felt they were not going to scrimp with your food. Excellent fish and chips, in fact the best chips I have had in years. Crisp on the outside and meltingly soft throughout. The fish was fresh and lightly battered in crispy grease free batter. The burger looked good too. Staff were friendly and accommodating, fitting us in early. Good prices for the quality of food. The chef obviously enjoys their calling and the staff made you feel welcome with a bouncy but restrained enthusiasm. Best book as they are rightly busy. Rather too dog friendly for my taste, the dogs were treated like royalty and spaced out to avoid territorial disputes. Faultless really. Good show to all and thank you for reminding us what good food and good service are about.

Food is not cheap but it is extremely good, lovely space to eat in, relaxed atmosphere, dogs welcome and good and friendly service. Menu is small but we had trouble choosing and it would be a safe bet to assume that everything on the menu was good as our choices were. Compliments to the kitchen!

Lovely garden, service slow but friendly

Stopped at the beginning of a bike ride for a little hydration with a friend. Great service and lovely friendly guests too. Felt very welcome.

We booked a table at Monty's Inn. Our table was in a tiny alcove, we squeezed in OK. The wine we ordered was disappointing OK. Then I noticed a fly ensconced in my fork, it was replaced. I ordered chalk stream trout, new potatoes and nicoise salad. When it arrived I did not recognise the slither of fish fillet perched on a pile of gem lettuce leaves. Accompanied by cold potatoes, with the odd French bean. No anchovies etc.When asked, my feedback said it was hardly Ok and I explained why.The waiter listened and did nothing. I believe the description did not meet the trade descriptions act. Then the bill hosted a compulsory 12% service charge not OK. Disappointing experience for our local restaurant.

The menu was limited and expensive. The soup of the day was tomato and rosemary with a half slice of bread. It was worth £5 but cost £10. I understand the pricing given the lack of alternative places to eat, but value for money was not achieved. Service was good, decor was nice.

Very average food , eatable but not worth the cost.

Great food and excellent staff.

Friendly service, slightly quirky menu, and fairly expensive drinks

Two great meals at Monty’s. Staff (Cally, Brad and Lily) were efficient and friendly. Great place to stay and eat. Will come back again.

We stopped for a drink on a friend's hen do. Everyone was really friendly, especially Cally, Brad and Harry H! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

The staff are friendly, Caly, Brad, Harry are brilliant. The service was lovely, friendly and very relaxed.

Very pleasant and romantic weekend Stay in the warm and comfortable hotel rooms, the beautiful lawns and gardens form a harmonious and comfortable environment, plus the very enthusiastic hotel service team 推荐坐落于乡村庄园酒店🏨， Monty’s 在Beaulieu . 这里的房间大约30间左右 但是每一间都不同风格 ，间间都是经典的英伦风， 从后花园停车场🅿️顺着花香的小路进入酒店🏨 这里的员工都是彬彬有礼 热情周到👍👍👍餐厅的食物很棒 ， 在酒店停车场有一条沙子路可以走到海边 大约5公里的走路可以坐当地的小游船45分 ，非常便宜的票价 前门有历史悠久的城堡🏰 不远处还有汽车博物馆 ，里面有当年James bond 拍电影🎬的跑车🚗值得一看

Stay with friends for there anniversary. The hotel and gardens very beautiful been walk around though the Village and near Beaulieu River we all enjoyed with amazing view. Went to the Monty’s for dinner.We have a good service and warm welcome staff very friendly.Foods were amazing fresh and testy. Big thanks to Cally ,Harry ,Harry Hicks For amazing service 😍 looking forward to coming back again 🙏🙏

We spent our anniversary in the fabulous room 40 at Montague arms and went to Monty’s for dinner we were served by two very polite young men both called Harry and the manager Calley gave us a very warm welcome and we can recommend Monty’s as a great restaurant and obviously the hotel is incredible full of charm great staff and we enjoyed the garden and local walks to the sea.😄

Disabled parking outside, side entrance accessible (may need unbolting), lots of space, accessible loo, amazing staff - considerate, efficient, friendly and welcoming. Best ribeye steak in the Forrest, all food well chosen, beautifully cooked and presented at a reasonable price.

Montys Inn has a friendly ambiance with attentive service, set in a modern local pub that welcomes all. Offering seasonal favourites on the menu, the food was delicious. Well priced and boasting quality produce. Montys Inn is a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors alike. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special occasion dinner, this restaurant is sure to exceed your expectations.

We booked a table a good few weeks in advance for Sunday lunch. On arrival, after a lovely long walk around Beaulieu, we received a warm welcome, but with the statement that they had been busy and they may have run out of roasts! Immediate disappointment! This was indeed the case and we had to choose from a very limited selection of just 5 alternative dishes. Our drinks service was very slow. The 2 haddock and chips ordered were enjoyed, the Monty burger VERY average, and the cod dish portion rather small. The final issue was being overcharged on the bill (which had to be pointed out and rectified). Not at all the Sunday lunch with friends we had been looking forward to and therefore we would not visit again.

Very nice restaurant food was perfect highly recommend

We had a late dinner at this establishment. We travelled from Manchester and called to ask if they can keep the kitchen open for an additional hour, that ended up being 2 hours. Brad and Lisa provided exceptional service, relaxed and attentive throughout. Both are true assets to the team. The food was amazing.

Lovely Sunday lunch next to the hotel. Staff was friendly and accommodating as we had a toddler. Everything was fresh. Nice wine list. Good children’s menu. Sunday beef roast was good. A little well done but still very tender with perfect fresh vegs and roasted potatoes. The fish and chips was excellent. O had a little food envy. Amazing ice cream topped off a last meal before heading home. Thank you!

Nice little pub attached to a very picturesque hotel , we didn't eat but the food that was arriving at tables looked very appetising and will definitely return to try it. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the decor very fitting with the location, it was very pleasant to see a traditional open log fire . Well done all. Keep up the good work.

An incredibly quaint hotel in a gorgeous town. Greeted with kindness and hospitality, treated to a small but excellently made menu of food. A perfrct place for a date or a meal on a nice sunny day. Truly a wonderful place to go!

Had an absolutely lovely meal. Service was fast and attentive. A lovely clean country pub. Manageress was very kind and very knowledgeable.

This pub is badly managed, if it even has a manager. The bar maid had a dog in her hands when we arrived, she passed it over the bar and then continued to serve us without washing her hands. Same goes for a member of the bar who had a cough, never once did we see her wash her hands. We went in on the Saturday and Sunday and never once were glasses cleared off tables unless the customers did this themselves. Come Sunday lagers, cider and crisps all ran out early afternoon. I certainly would not recommend going her unless it gets a Manager.

We are sorry to say this pub was a big disappointment. On walking in the bar maid had a dog in her hands and then continued to serve us without washing her hands. The pub was full but as people left not one table was cleared down unless the new customers did this. The staff just talked between themselves when the bar was full of empty glasses. Come the Sunday there was barely any beer pumps workings , no lagers left. I feel it needs a good strong manager because as it is the pub functions but very badly 😢

Little atmosphere , very average food, limited menu and poor value for money. Would NOT visit again. A quality area like Beaulieu one would expect far higher standards

Fantastic pub with a lovely atmosphere. Great service and good food. The lemon curd pavlova with basil sorbet was incredible!

Went there for Mother's day lunch. We were very pleased with the food. Cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was lovely. Nothing was rushed and we were made to feel really welcome. Cally and the team did a lovely job, working together very well. Will definitely go back.

Lovely food. Great service. We all really enjoyed our meals. 3 of us had the Belly Pork and my brother+in-law had the fish. The Calvados sauce was amazing. Maybe more expensive than some other restaurants, but it was worth it.

My husband, son and myself had a wonderful, traditional roast beef Sunday lunch and Bramley apple crumble. It was all beautifully presented and extremely delicious. Every member of staff we encountered was very friendly, attentive and efficient. Top marks for all concerned!

Good service, good choice of drinks, nice a clean that's dog friendly. The perfect stop off if nearby.

Had a really lovely meal here. Friendly enthusiastic staff, great food and nice restaurant area. It seemed to fill up so probably good to book if you go here. Dog friendly. I was disappointed to see they had football on in the lounge area so not a great place for a quiet drink.

We staid here for a small lunch break at 1pm, great place and fantastic food. If you are here, just get in and enjoy. Romain (de Luxembourg)

Beautiful looking pub so we went in for drinks. Unfortunately no atmosphere at all. Few other people came in for quick drinks. The service was friendly but prices are beyond a joke. Extortionate over £14 for a g& t and just too expensive. I can see why it's never busy as l expect people don't want to feel ripped off even if they can afford it. I expected it would be expensive but not that much so it will obviously lack customers.

We had a really great lunch here last weekend A few very interesting Cocktails , lovely wine etc The quality of the food was as good as you will get anywhere , very fine beef ! The service is overseen by a very night quality manager , and she made our experience even better

We had dinner at Monty's during our recent stay at The Montagu Arms. I had the burger 🍔 and my partner had the fish & chips. Both were very good quality. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very cosy. A good choice, especially for hotel residents not wanting the full restaurant option.

The Victorian Christmas Evening was fabulous. Lovely to see so many people and catch up. The pulled pork and nachos were delicious. Sunday we returned with family for a roast dinner. Again absolutely delicious. One of the best roasts by far !

We returned to Monty's Inn after a visit earlier in the year. It is a special place for us, as our grandparents met there when stationed in Beaulieu in the 1940s, and talked often of the Montagu Arms. We were looked after brilliantly by the team, who gave special attention to the little one at the table, and we will certainly return in the future. Thank you to all the team for their hard work to make our visit happy and memorable.

Very enjoyable visit with a large family group including a young child who wanted to eat straight away. The team looked after us very well, were super-quick with the children's menu. Good food done with imagination and good drinks. Fantastic location as well. Will be returning.

Recommended. Cosy and busy pub restaurant attached to a hotel in an amazing location. Very good food, done with imagination. Great range of drinks. The team looked after us really well, would certainly return.

Here visiting from Austin Texas. Absolutely charming restaurant and pub. The warm welcome was so lovely and the service wonderful. The food was delicious and we enjoyed every moment! Absolutely recommend this darling place!

We decided to go for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Once Natalie found out it was our anniversary she returned with two glasses of fizz and a card! The food was really good as was the service and the atmosphere. We haven't been here recently (lots of choice locally) but will definitely be back soon. We did buy our friends a voucher for lunch here and they also enjoyed themselves. Special shout out to Lisa and Natalie - thank you!

Been meaning to go here for a long time as often drive passed on a trip to the New Forest. Finally made it for lunch one midweek day - me and my dog. Initial impressions were it was lacking atmosphere. As you go in there is a dining room to the left and a bar area to the right. The bar looked more inviting but I was seated in the dining room. Service was friendly and was offered drinks straight away with time to look through the menu. Dog was given a blanket on the floor and some water which was a really nice touch. I chose a light lunch of mackerel with a side of salad and chips to bulk it out a bit! It was all very nice - salad was huge! I also got a meal off the dog menu for my dog - fish pie I think it was - it was enormous!!!!!!! I had a nice enough time but I felt it really did lack atmosphere and almost felt a bit disorganised or like and after thought to be serving food in this pub/inn. I can’t put my finger on quite what it’s lacking but as it’s fairly high prices I don’t think I’d rush back. The service was very good and I was well looked after. Couldn’t fault that but just something missing atmosphere/decor wise. Give it a go if you’re happy with prices as food is nice enough.

Met a friend for lunch. Very nice ambience. My friend was delayed so we were late ordering but this was fine. Varied menu. We both chose Neil’s mushroom and ricotta tortellini - it was delicious. Good service , all staff seemed happy, helpful and pleased...

Like Monty's but disappointed with the mussels on this occasion. But I will be a returning diner.

proper good mussles and burger was tasty. staff were well nice and made us feel at home. fancy pub and what have you, negroni after dinner.

We had high expectations about this pub, it was only 5 minute walk from where we were staying in Beaulieu, we came in twice around 4/5pm on a Friday and Sunday for drinks, thought it would be nice to get the feel of the neighbourhood but it was empty, felt soul less. The member of staff that was serving was friendly but unfortunately the whole ambience of the pub was zero. Maybe we came in at the wrong time of day but thought as it was the weekend it would be buzzing. If we stayed in Beaulieu again we would probably try a different time.

On the 30th September 1989 we spent our wedding night at the hotel. The team, the service and the food were outstanding. 34 years later we have returned to have dinner at Monty’s to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Suspect a few faces have changed but...

Went in here at lunch time today for a quick bite. Paid £10 for a Brie and cranberry sandwich with rocket. The rocket was full of grit and had obviously not been washed so I had to give it to my dog! Absolutely awful..

Good food but fine dining pricing for pub food, It is very expensive

Beautiful Location for a Sunday Roast. Friendly and welcoming service with a smile. Food is beautifully presented, however the roast beef was a disappointment, beef was hard to cut and very chewy. The gravy was watery and tasteless, potatoes felt pre-cooked and reheated almost like from frozen. Veg very al-dente, but great Yorkshire pudding. Desert was a small portion however extremely tasty, both the cheesecake and the crème brûlée are recommended. Paying a premium price for the location not the food, a bit a disappointment.

Really disappointing food and extortionate prices. Would not recommend.

We went to Monty’s as our last dinner for our 10 day trip to the UK. The food was excellent, and Cally was a fantastic host who was warm, inviting, and full of laughs. This was the favorite meal out of trip for multiple in...
