Ogilvie's Grill House in Suffolk Coastal - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Was staying in Thorpeness. Visit for an evening meal. Very warm welcome. Food was good. Starters smoked chicken & whipped ricotta , very tasty and lovely fresh taste. 1 salt & pepper calamari, good,1 pate very nice. 3 of us had duck and 1 fish stew. Duck was cooked well apart from skin could have been crispier. Fish stew was rather a large portion but very tasty. Too full for puds! Service was excellent by everyone. However it is a golf hotel so as large groups from societies staying did get a bit loud (especially after England one footie match!) however staff had let us know and worked hard to make sure it didn’t impact on the service to us.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Good size portions lovely beef and tasty dessert. Staff were great and reasonably priced. A thoroughly good experience

Great service, really good, well presented food with the bonus of exceptional panoramic views of the golf course. This restaurant has stepped up a gear. Will definitely book again soon.

Great place for a golf break. Nicely improved bedrooms and bathrooms. Food is very good also the service. The course provides a very good test

We were a little apprehensive about booking an overnight stay at a Golf Hotel but we actually had a great stay. Staff, hotel facilities and meals were all excellent. The Golfers too were all great company in the bar and the restaurant too.

As it was a busy night in the restaurant I could not fault the food or the presentation both were excellent for all three courses.

My first trip back to the hotel for four years & pleased to say it's the same great value for money as it's ever been. Dinner & breakfast were excellent & perfectly complimented our weekends golf. Looking forward to returning in the Spring

The staff were very friendly and efficient, and versatile when one young staff member repaired a wonky table in the restaurant, very versatile.

Booked for anniversary meal, staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was served quickly and cooked and presented really well. Would definitely boom again when in area.

Excellent all round experience . Comfortable accommodation,friendly staff and excellent cuisine.What more could one ask for.

We were delighted with the quality of the food in the restaurant. All 3 courses were well presented and delicious.

Golf Break Great Golf Course, Nice Rooms, Excellent Dinner, Excellent Breakfast, Excellent Service and will definitely come again!

I must be honest I didn't really want to leave a review because I don't want too many people to find this wonderful place. The Staff, the rooms, the golf and the dinning experience for us is always exceptional. If we lived closer we would go more often.

The selection of food was poor in taste, quality, price and appearance. Serving fruit scones in the plastic bag that they were purchased in rather than homemade was terrible and no clotted cream either. The cake selection was limited, stale and again tasteless. The waitress was lovely, the restaurant looked lovely but we would not return.

Great service, friendly and attentive staff, very welcoming. Super food and a pleasant atmosphere to sit and dine in.

We were on a DBB at the hotel. Good selection on the menu, nicely cooked and presented. The staff are very friendly and the service was efficient.

Dining at Ogilvie's is always the highlight of our stays at the Golf Club. The food is delicious - perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.

food ok , service very friendly and efficient but room far too noisy as it filled up. starter menu could be improved . side dishes expensive

Party of 36 golfers , our 3rd visit, well organised , swift service good food and great value for money , already booked for March 2024 - highly recommended!

Exceptional food and excellent service all round. More than happy with every aspect. Thank you. We’ll be back

22 friends from Littlestone went very recently. The food was of the very highest standard with some extremely interesting dishes on the evening menu with an excellent choice for breakfast as well. I would highly recommend this venue particularly from the food point of view.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two days at Thorpeness, staff couldn't have done more to make our stay enjoyable

When you have a location and team like the CC, you have found one of Suffolk's great secrets. Chef David is simply one pf the best in East Anglia and his new menu a dream !

Booked a last minute 70th birthday lunch. Staff were happy to add any touches that I requested. Delicious food and plentiful and excellent service in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. A perfect afternoon. We are not golfing people but the bar and restaurant were welcoming...

It’s ok but very dated, try the dolphin in the village. Food at oglvues is expensive £25 for risotto. Pudding was clearly bought in and over cooked. Wine is expensive too

We booked the restaurant for ten of us to dine (nanny , 4 parents & 5 grown up grandchildren). We hadn’t been all together for nearly a decade. They made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived & had pre drinks in the...

The waiter and the food were just amazing. Was let down by the cold temperature and lack of atmosphere in the restaurant.

They used to do a great Sunday lunch here but the roast beef is now always topside which is fairly tough and tasteless however carefully it is roasted . It used to be delicious, tender local sirloin. At the same time they have also put...

Being my birthday, we decided to go for lunch at the restaurant at Thorpeness Golf Club. We booked on line and received a confirmation of that booking. On arrival, no one knew of our booking and we were told that no lunch would be served...

Six of us had a very nice evening in the Grill House. Good surroundings, pleasant atmosphere that although the restaurant was busy it wasn’t too noisy to hear a conversation! Staff very nice and menu varied. Suited us perfectly.

I have lived near by to this restaurant/hotel/golf course for all of my life (61 years). My husband and I have walked and cycled past so many times and have never been to the restaurant as we thought it was just for golfers! I wish...

The Bouillabaisse was terrible - the fennel simply overpowered it and, despite eating almost none of it, no real discussion was had or alternative offered

Had the most amazing afternoon tea. Delicious sandwiches, amazing scones and cakes to die for. Attentive staff, friendly and efficient. Such excellent value for money. I will certainly return.

Very bland food from a limited menu. We were served in a hurry due to a group of 30 expected. Staff too busy to take our payment and we were sent to the bar (another room) and then explain we wanted to pay.

Although the restaurant was extremely busy with some large, rather noisy group booking the staff found us a table in the beautiful, quiet library. we love mediterranean found so ordered the bouillabaisse. This turned out to be Suffolk version with only 3 varieties of fish...

I suppose we should have known better than to eat at a golf club on a Saturday night with large parties of golfers in. As a couple we found it way too noisy but the food and service was good. We were strangers in the...

Went here to celebrate our anniversary and the afternoon tea was lovely. The staff remembered about allergies and catered for this. Staff friendly. Would definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic food, we were a golfing party of four and all of us had exceptional meals as part of the great value stay and play golf package they offer, we paid an extra supplement to upgrade our meals and it was definitely worth every...

The service we received from the initial greeting upon arrival, table service until farewell as we departed was exceptional, the food was outstanding and great value for the money with plenty of variety on the menu. The setting of the restaurant and ambience only added...

Very Good food. Friendly and excellent service. Pleasant atmosphere. Views of the golf course. Extensive wine list.

We stayed at Thorpeness Hotel for 1 Night B&B and also booked restaurant for evening meal. We celebrated both our birthdays and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were upgraded to a better bedroom as we were celebrating which was really nice of the staff to...

The new one/two/three-course Sunday lunch menu continues all the excellent quality and presentation of previous menus, with great value too. The atmosphere was good, with plenty of happy diners ! The extensive wine list is a bonus, and service always efficient and pleasant.

A pleasant stay as part of my wife’s 60th birthday celebrations. Nice situation and very much what you expect from a golf club. Room clean and a good size. Large comfy bed. The only thing I would say is as many others are saying, the...

Delicious Suffolk Fish soup. Friendly and efficient staff. Great desserts and worth paying for the best wine.

Thought we'd give Ogilvie's a try whilst in the area Very satisfied with the venue, service, food & value. Well worth it in all respects.

First class service, splendid food and wonderful ambience. A delightful afternoon tea to be remembered.

Food is presented well and tastes lovely with good size portions and some lovely choices available, I am a celiac and they accommodated this well with some great food.

Staff friendly, good meals and all Covid protocols seemed to be in place. We both enjoyed steaks with a view of the golf course and the breakfast, which was prepared to order, was a perfect start to the day.

staff was very rude, miserable , food was average and there were many black flies on the food during dinner after asking if they did do kids menu to reception before booking and waitress before ordering, they brought a full-size meal and tried to charge...

Stayed at golf course hotel bed and breakfast basis ... we had very nice evening meal at Ogilvies .. crab starter then Burger and fry’s salad..all very tasty.. covid rules well organised so we felt safe ... unfortunately Breakfast was a bit of a muddle......

Delicious evening meal. The staff were friendly and attentive. We both had the burger and it was very large and beautifully flavourful.

Great food and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. Lovely breakfasts and dinners were had. Food was delicious.

Great Food , excellant service in a private room , Selina took great care to ensure we were well looked after .

We played golf at Thorpeness golf club and a good breakfast I’m the bar before golf and than had a really nice Sunday lunch with all the family ten of us in total food was great and service excellent

The food was nice but service wasn’t. I asked for a elderflower and the staff member just said ‘we don’t have that ‘ , no offer to go and see what else there was , no drinks menu on table either.We had several individual couples within our party and when it came to paying we decided just to pay for what we had had. The staff then split the bill equally but it worked out that I would pay £30 for my 5 year olds main meal! We then discovered they had also added an extra £10-15 on everyone’s bill mounting up to quite a bit. We asked them to sort it and after 20 minutes we got fed up and just went to the bar and told them what we were paying for. This place looks special from the outside but that’s about it.

Too much choice on menu When you got 20 players give them a couple of choices they be happy Food was always hot and staff could not be any more helpful Breakfast was very nice

We were allowed to have the restaurant menu in the golf bar (as we wanted to have our dog with us) excellent steaks and a decent variety of starters . The food was well prepared and the staff very attentive .

Good food reasonable prices - good for golfers and non-golfers. Thorpeness Club sandwich was excellent, and a great range of Adnams drinks

Visited for the first time yesterday, absolutely wonderful food; beautifully cooked and served. Very good selection of steaks available and very generous portions of food. A special mention for the waiter who was absolutely superb and looked after us exceedingly well, nothing was too much trouble. We will return

We paid a visit to Thorpeness Golf Club whilst we were on holiday in Sizewell (Beachview Caravan Park) we didn’t know what to expect as Ogilvies hasn’t got many reviews as yet. No need to worry though as I’m sure excellent reviews will be coming soon, as the service and quality of food is excellent. Large portions and good value for money. My wife said her fish and chips were amazing. If in the area and looking for somewhere to have breakfast, lunch or tea definitely give this place a go. You’ll not be disappointed.

Very nice venue with friendly staff, good food and the prices were very reasonable. Eight of us went and we ALL had a good time.

Lovely morning spent with papers and friends over leisurely breakfast cooked to order super buffet selection & lovely views over the course.

The restaurant is pretty basic, the food choices are OK. All of our food was prepared fresh .and served with a smile. The vegetables were all over cooked. The presentation was very basic. Not a bad wine list reasonable prices. Not a place for a special occasion.

Myself and 3 other went to Ogilvie's last night and I have to say it was amazing! Sat at the bar first, to be served by a friendly bar man a nice G&T; in the big glasses! Great atmosphere in the bar. Then got called to the table when they were ready for us to be shown the amazing menu. We had 3 steaks (rump, rib-eye, and a fillet), all were cooked to how we ordered and tasted amazing! The sides were also very tasty! My partner had the rack of ribs and they were a show case when they were put on the table! Staff were very friendly and were very helpful when we wanted to order extra sides half way through our meal. All in all - a great dinner! Would 100% return!

No change in the menu as in previous visits, surgarge for steak. You have to like fish or chicken, no pork on the menu
