Redmond’s in Cheshire West and Chester

Great staff. Limited dinner menu but excellent food. Usual self serve buffet breakfast. Plenty of food still available close to cut off 10.00 am.

A superb venue , very stylish and airy. Our meal of three courses was excellent, perfectly cooked and presented. The staff were friendly, but we felt under constant pressure to eat quickly and leave. We felt there was no time to relax between courses, and we were asked eachh time if our food was OK barely two mouthfuls in. After dessert, coffee was not mentioned. Our booking was at 7.30pm, so not late. We will not be coming again

Me, my husband and young son dined here over the Christmas period and had a lovely and relaxed experience. It was fancy enough to make an effort with dress but relaxed enough to feel family friendly. My son thought the service was exceptional and even got upset that he couldn’t finish his dinner, incase he upset someone haha. Will return.

The food at the Redmonds restaurant was divine. It was honestly the tastiest meal I've ever had! Every member of staff we encountered was so helpful and friendly, we genuinely felt very welcomed here. The spa day was incredible, the spa garden was so much fun and the drinks service straight to the hot tub was a nice touch! Inside, the spa facilities were luxurious and the ice water fountain was cool, haven't seen anything quite like this before. Overall, an amazing stay.

The restaurant was part of our golf package so we had an allowance each night which would have covered 2 courses easily. There were plenty of options even for my husband and he is a fussy/selective eater. The food was gorgeous and the staff excellent.

From the minute we walked in, the service was brilliant. We were greeted by a lovely smiley lady. We were seated and the staff looking after us were attentive and lovely. One young lady was training and was brilliant, as was the young man training her. We had the pea and mint soup and goat’s cheese salad for starters. SUPERB !!! For main we had the burger and Sea bass. EVERYTHING was perfect temperature , so tasty and filling. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you x

We stayed two nights and enjoyed the food , especially the fish pie , burger and steak Puddings also good

Having stayed at Carden Park for 4 nights, we are incredibly thankful that we only had to eat dinner in the restaurant once, unfortunately breakfast was a different story. The food is overpriced and is not terrible, but is of poor quality. The breakfast is tantamount to a Premier Inn breakfast with limited options, obviously poor quality sausages, bacon and continental options. The ketchup even tasted cheap! There was a small selection of fruit which was tasteless and the pastries looked similar to those bought in Tesco! The only thing decent was the coffee machine. As for dinner… we had the sharing bread and the duck starter. The bread was basic but the whipped butter and accompanying lemon and Parmesan salad was tasty. The duck was nice but the pancakes it was served with were dry and sparse! We had burgers as the main which were fine, but nothing special. The pudding of eton mess was well presented but the meringue was dry and we did not get the impression that it was freshly made as it arrived to our table so quickly! What made the dining so poor was the price. Everything was expensive for a lack of thought and quality… such a shame as this certainly let down our experience at Carden Park. We would recommend dining out and having a meal at The Vines which was a top tier experience. Perhaps the Vines should offer a made to order breakfast menu which we would have preferred and paid more for, rather than having to eat here.

My wife and I stayed at Carden Park Hotel for a three night break. We ate at Redmonds restaurant for breakfast each morning and an evening meal on the last night. After reading some negative reviews I had some reservations. As it turned out I need not have worried because the food and service were immaculate. The breakfast was well cooked, hot and plentiful. The evening meal though was first class. The whole dining experience was worth every penny. I would highly recommend the restaurant and it is obvious that the team has worked hard to get things to its current standard. Very enjoyable experience.

Excellent food and service but extremely noisy - like a rugby club dinner! Would recommend the food but chose your night carefully.

Awful first evening experience. Messed around with the original booking, staff disinterested and slow. Food was very poor but incredibly overpriced.

Great restaurant and food......only one complaint on last visit.excellent main course,served on COLD plate, Never spoil a meal,by this simple task

Nice atmosphere for enjoying your meal. Excellent service and compliments to the chef Choice of wine and recommend the Carden Park Champagne

Having eaten at Redmond's once in the past, I booked my partner into Carden Park and Redmond's for a surprise one-night stay to celebrate a birthday. Redmond's is said to be a classy, AA rosette restaurant, but what we discovered was an extremely pricey, comically poor experience: It took around 15 minutes for someone to take our food order - and no one came to ask for drink orders. We ordered a starter of bread and houmous, with butternut ravioli and steak for mains. The bread and houmous took around 40 minutes to come, and was literally some thick slices from a bloomer, with no butter, just a thimble full of houmous - barely enough for one person. We flagged a waiter down and asked for some more, but later did notice other tables being brought butter, so we assume that was just forgotten about at the time. Mains were another 20 minutes or so. In the meantime, we'd heard complaints from every single table around us - one about the slow service, one about a cold coffee, one about a starter being cold, one in which the server had totally forgotten someone's meal and simply brought them out a side of mashed potato, and another about their fillet of salmon being half ice-cold and half hot. When it arrived, my meal consisted of 6 pieces of ravioli (£15!) with some brocolli and raisins, and my partner's steak (~£25!) was overcooked. We would have complained at the time, but by this point we were hungry and didn't want to further ruin the evening by arguing with staff. In total, the 2 course meal took nearly two hours, cost around £60 (which was not far off the price of the hotel itself) and genuinely ruined what had been planned out as a big birthday surprise. I'd be more than happy for the manager to contact me and to talk this through, but in hindsight do wish I'd bitten the bullet and complained at the time, as I would appreciate a partial refund.

Terrible service and no atmosphere and lack of enthusiasm from the waiting staff.for a 5 star hotel the individual traveller is not the guest you get the impression they want, they are focused more on large catering functions. Breakfast was fine large choice of buffet food and nicely presented.

Me and my girlfriend stayed the night in the hotel, so we booked Redmond’s for dinner. We both ordered the sirloin steak cooked medium. The steak was cooked perfect and it was rested perfect but when I tried a piece it was really chewy which indicates a cheap cut of meat so we wasn’t too happy with that because it was around £25 per steak. We could have went to one of the local pubs in the area for a lot cheaper. A good place to eat in that area is a pub 2 mins away from the hotel it’s called cock o barton try Sunday lunch there we really enjoyed it.

Dining experience was very disappointing..........certainly not the fine dining experience we expected. Breakfast also poor. Management were helpful but that didn’t change the quality of the food . Would not re visit

This was the main restaurant we were on a deal so we had a deal menu but could upgrade is we wished but you weren’t allowed to mix and match between the 2 menus. The restaurant was spotless very airy and light. The servers were...

Redmonds restaurant service was poor, took too long and waiters/waitresses spend to much time talking which delays food coming out we were in there for nearly two hours or more and continuously reminding about our food not arrived yet.

Staying over at the hotel we normally eat in the vines , but as it was a family members birthday we choose to eat in Redmans and I’m so glad we did food was delicious service was excellent so much so we even had our...

If you are looking for fine dining without it being overly fussy, Redmond's is perfect. The food was absolutely beautiful. I had the Welsh Beef Filet and Braised Beef Cheek, my husband had the Pork fillet wrapped in pancetta & pork sausage. Both dishes were...

Myself and my daughter had dinner and breakfast here. The service was good food was good and a beautiful view out of the many windows.

Will start with the positives - our servers Holly and Rob were an absolute delight and each earned themselves a rather large tip. Although the food was well presented one can’t be expected to have a pate on its own. Previously it was served with...

Love this place, eat here every time I visit the hotel. Excellent ambience especially the piano. Good service and amazing choice. Will definitely visit again soon

We ate in Redmond's Restaurant during our recent stay at Carden Park. Although we were resident in the hotel, the restaurant is open to non-residents. It boasts an AA rosette so we were looking forward to an interesting culinary experience. As it was during the...

What a total contrast and never had the phrase ‘chalk and cheese’ been so appropriate. The food was excellent. If you like big portions, this is NOT the place for you. If you appreciate the art of food, the technical work that goes into amazing...

We ate at Redmunds for my partners 50th birthday. I can honestly say it was the worse meal I've had! The service was poor, the food was cold, our side orders never arrived, the portions were tiny and tasteless. We did complain but the restaurant...

As per my over all review of the hotel, Redmonds was a complete shambles. Lack of staff, inexperienced staff appalling service. The whole 3 course meal was in edible. Absoloutly terrible experience. We were supposed to be celebrating my friends 40th birthday- it was a...

I had booked my partner in here for her Birthday evening meal and we arrived promptly at 19:30. We were greeted by our server Jacob who was excellent, attentive but not overly so. The wine we chose arrived swiftly and the food order was taken...
