Restaurant atmosphere is quiet and food was ok. Orders management can improve, 3 times we were delivered items that we did not ordered, starters, drinks and bill.

We had booked afternoon tea and prosecco, the ambiance is excellent calm and friendly, however the meal was a little disappointing, the sandwiches were made many hours before and the bread use soft and full of fluid, the sourdough used was difficult to eat, the other aspects very acceptable

Had snoozy boozie lunch with my hubby for my birthday. Three courses plus bottle of wine is excellent value. Every table in the restaurant is good. We were warmly greeted when we arrived, decided on a chilled glass of champagne while we choice our meal. Good range for each course and lovely wine options. Very attentive service throughout & lovely relaxed ambience. Everything was first class. Finally enjoyed coffee & cocktails in the stunning bar. Highly enjoyable afternoon.

The New Year's Eve dinner was excellent. However, whilst the waiting staff were friendly , there was obviously a shortage of staff, which made the experience in ordering and being served strained. There was no space on our table for the wine to be comfortably placed, and when we asked for a stand, we were told there were none, so the wine had to be kept away from our table at the end of the room. There was a wedding reception at the other part of the hotel, therefore guests spilling out of it to the lounge and bar area meant that seating was compromised for diners wishing an after meal drink or coffee, and perhaps to see in the Bells. I do think that there should have been discussion on managing two large events to ensure service and space was not minimised to give precedence to the wedding party.

We had a very good meal with quiet but efficient service. My only comment would be that coat storage is a bit of a squeeze to say the least. Has been that way for years at the Bonham. I'm sure it could b improved though. People do wear coats in winter.

The service was slow. The starter was cold but very tasty but the main course was pretty bad. The turkey was dried out. The stuffing couldn’t be tasted. The potatoes were tough and very difficult to cut into and the Brussels sprouts were raw.

Have been going to No. 35 throughout the year for a number of years now. A group of friends always gather before Christmas and have a great time catching up. This year though the consensus was that the meal was a little disappointing....the starter portion was small - and obviously prepared in advance and sitting waiting as it was served very quickly after the order was taken; the turkey didnt have much taste with some potatoes undercooked. For me the cheese platter was disappointing too with only two 'bland' cheeses. We all came away from the meal still feeling hungry and disappointed. This is the first time I've had to use the word 'disappointed'. I still recommend No 35...the service is wonderful and the staff are wonderful but the Christmas dinner off was not on par as other years. I don't want to leave the table still feeling hungry.

We have always been really delighted when we’ve dined at Bonhams…… sadly after our experience today the bubble has burst. When we booked we weren’t advised that it would be the Christmas menu which was significantly more expensive than the usual Boozy Snoozy offering. While the presentation was very impressive sadly the quality nor the quantity matched that. The food was lukewarm and it was obvious that the attention had very much been on presentation over substance. There were no stand out dishes and I doubt we will be returning any time soon.

Having visited the Bonham on many occasions I was very disappointed with the portion size of the main course. The food is delicious as always and the staff are very friendly and helpful and it is no reflection on them. But I feel that with the increased prices over the last few years it has become less attractive to dine there or recommend it to friends and family.

My friend and I enjoyed a delicious 'Bellini' afternoon tea to celebrate her birthday. We had a window table in a spacious and attractive lounge. We were each given our own cake stand, perhaps because I'm vegetarian. There were sandwiches (sourdough bread), a small filled roll, two small scones with jam and cream, and four mini 'sweet treats', like caramel éclairs and raspberry squares. My Bellini cocktail (prosecco and peach) was tasty and my friend enjoyed her mocktail. After we had finished, the waiter brought a birthday surprise for her - three petit fours on a plate with 'happy birthday' written in chocolate icing. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the service. Although the waiters were friendly and polite, we had to wait half an hour before the first drinks appeared, and my friend was initially given a Bellini when she had ordered a mocktail. We then had to wait another 10 minutes or so for her drink to arrive, and the food. I was told there was no decaff Earl Gray, but I could have decaff breakfast tea but I got Earl Gray which I suspect was not decaff.

I introduced my mother to this restaurant for a special meal. She was delighted with her choice and I very much enjoyed mine too. Just a tiny blip from the waiting staff who accidentally brought us the wrong dessert. It was only just as my mother noticed that one of the waiting staff appeared to say the same and offered to swap out what we had for the correct dish, but we were happy enough to continue with what we had. Just for that, my 5 stars for service dropped to 4, but otherwise, they were friendly and efficient. This is my third visit to this restaurant and I hope to return.

Afternoon tea at the Bonham was very disappointing. The service was slow, but the food was not appropriate. Wholemeal buns filled with aubergine and courgette, thickly cut bread filled with a thin slice of ham was not what you would expect for afternoon tea. A dessertspoonful of clotted cream between two was inadequate, but the cake selection was good. We had 17% deducted from our bill after we complained. Compared to other establishments this experience was poor.
