Tenby House in Pembrokeshire

This place was a real gem! I spent the month of Sept traveling around the UK and Ireland and happened to be in Tenby on my 40th birthday, so wanted to take myself out to dinner. I was looking for a relaxed vibe but with good food that felt worthy of a "birthday dinner," even though I was traveling solo. I really lucked out with this place! The owner was there and his son was tending bar and I could have talked to them all night. So friendly and fun! The woman who brought my food and took my order was so attentive and accommodating even though I was eating downstairs instead of in the main dining area (upstairs). Excellent service!! I ended up chatting with a lovely couple with an adorable dog all night, drinking wine, and eating fantastic scallops...my birthday dinner couldn't have been better. At the end of the night, the owner paid my tab! Who does that?! This was one of my top 10 dining experiences. Everyone should visit Plantagenet House when in Tenby if you want a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, a relaxed vibe in a cool setting, and yummy food.

I really wanted to like our lunch, but it really fell flat. My potato leek soup was sad & tasteless. The seafood chowder was stone cold. The halloumi & carrot salad & bread was far better than our soup. Perhaps the kitchen staff were just really off today.

This review is for the bar downstairs. We didn’t have any food. But we popped in for a beer and loved it. It was excellent to drink a Guinness in this very old building warming ourselves by the fire. Really enjoyed our quick break from exploring - can’t beat the vibes.

Five stars across the board, fabulous experience that will be repeated.

Really good quality food.. top notch!!!

Top restaurant prices, average to disappointing at best. The ribeye was cooked well, but horrendously overpriced. It was served with half-cooked cherry tomatoes and mushrooms that had spent too long under a hot lamp, so they had become spongy and wrinkled. Not ideal. If you can't provide quality, lower your prices. The rustic chips looked awesome but actually tasted of old oil and were really off-putting. How old does oil have to be before you can taste it on a chip!? My partner's chowder to start was the best part of the meal. The service in the restaurant was nice and attentive, and it was really well run for a busy little place. However, the barman downstairs made the atmosphere pretty shitty while we were there... maybe he was having a bad day. All in all, we laughed at how bad the food was for the price. We loved the service we received in the restaurant, but we will most certainly never eat there again.

A wonderful quaint and old pub and restaurant. I highly recommend this lovely place, and I will definitely be returning again.

Me and my wife had lunch there today. The service was 1st class and the food was amazing .

Lunch with family on a day out in Tenby. We had the veggie curry, the meat curry, scampi and chips and steak and chips. All were delicious! It was so great to be offered the choice of having half and half with our curries - it’s simply the best; I’ve never understood why it’s only on offer in Wales! The curries were spicy, but not overpoweringly so, though I think I’d say that if korma is your usual choice you may want to try something else. The chips were delicious and enjoyed by all. Service was quick, especially on a busy day. Great atmosphere too.

Nice restaurant well located Menu reduced to 2 dishes because we were there on a Sunday. The dishes were however appreciated

Fine dining not at its best, most definitely promoting itself well above the capability of the front of house staff, the chef and their team, The Plantagenet House is a pretentious, self absorbed low light in the thriving culinary offering of Tenby which is obviously living on past glories and owners. We visited The Plantagenet House on Saturday 10th August to make a dinner booking for Monday 12th August for our wedding anniversary, and should have known that there would be issues as the person taking our booking was sternly advised by another staff member that the diary could only be completed in pencil and not pen, which put her in a panic as she was unable to find one, why, is this a thing? We arrived for our 7:15pm booking time a few minutes early and there was confusion where to seat us as the table allocated had been taken by a walk in, this was quickly sorted and we were seated on table 7, a drinks order was taken and despite the wine glasses being different sizes, presented quiet quickly. No ribeye available so the fillet steak and lobster mains ordered, The Goats cheeses tart was good and the plate removed quickly, so my expectations for the rest of the evening were looking up. More walk-ins came, seated around us, orders placed and there food was on the table before any member of staff came back to us, it was about 45 minutes and no sign of our main meals, so my wife asked a staff member if there was an issue with our order, within minutes et voila, they appeared, and here's where the disappointing evening peaked, the food had obviously been sat waiting for some time, to be served to us, the lobster was on the hotter side of warm and just enough for my wife, the steak however being cooked to medium, looked as though it hadn't been anywhere near to a grill, had no heat in it, the chips were cold, the confit obviously retained heat as the steak was on top of it, after 1 mouthful I mentioned it to a staff member who swiftly took it away whilst apologising, expecting a 10/15 minute wait, but no, the same plated fillet steak/chips/confit was back in front of me within 3 minutes and was a steaming plate of microwaved blandness, I called over another staff member, and advised that I was not happy that my fillet steak had been microwaved to get it hot, again more apologies and the offer of selecting another item from the menu or a drink, but I'd seen and tried enough to sit and wait for anything else, so politely refused the offer. So yes the fillet steak was removed from the bill and the bottle of wine complementary, but with the following comment, "don't give us a bad review because your wine is free", really shows what this place is all about.

A really cute restaurant located on a side street in beautiful Tenby. Very friendly staff and first-class food. Special requests and allergies are taken into account. Price and performance match.

I was expecting something great from this restaurant and i was so disappointed!! The three tables around us complained about their food and mine was ok but definitey not fine dining. We have since found out that it has changed hands and not for the better. Expensive and not worth it. I booked it in advance for our first night’s stay in Tenby, the second night i booked The Dunes hotel!! Now that is what i call fine dining!!!! It was absolutely amazing. Our next go to would be the Bay Tree. The price at Plantatenthouse does not reflect the quality. We will not be returning. I must add that the lady on meet and greet was first class and the service was excellent but the chef let them down and it was embarrassing for them. I would give it a wide berth until they can find a new chef.

Mussels were fantastic, lobster a little dry, cheesecake was not traditional style or taste

Absolutely up there with a Michelin star fillet steak , the reviews are clearly spot on ! Hoping to try Sunday lunch here tomorrow , great service , stunning old building ! Best i have had in tenby so far (over last 6 years )

Lunch today, last minute booking. Excellent food a service, amazing building. Definitely coming back!

Tudor built restaurant in the side streets of Tenby. A wonderful place to reenact the Last Supper if you are so inclined.

Great fresh fish ( Hake), friendly staff. A Wonderful evening meal

Very nice and cosy place to have a lunch f.e. Or a drink. Nice music from the 70s. Downstairs is the bar, updtairs the restaurant (no dogs allowed). The interior of this very very old building, next to and related to the tudors merchant’s house, is stunning

Good quick service. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Good food. We received a warm welcome on entering & our beagles were given a welcome too. We would definitely come back again. Thank you

What a lovely place for food and drink. We had the dog with us so we sat in the garden at the back. Didn't go in in for fish and chips but when the waitress went past with someone else's we HAD to try it! Beer Battered Cod & Chips, not cheap, about £18 each but worth every penny. Batter not to crispy or soggy, fish somehow creamy and buttery and decent chips tasted fresh. Best we ever had! Thankyou Tenby House staff, can't wait to come back!

Atmosphere five stars, food four stars

INCREDIBLE!!! Best meal we’ve ever had in Tenby. Food was beautiful and locally sourced, and the service was perfect. An amazing treat to end our holiday and we will definitely be back again. Thank you!

The food and the level of care from the staff is out of this world! I have never been to such an extraordinary restaurant.

Lovely evening with 12 friends. Food and service could not have been better. Thank you for making our evening special

Fantastic food in an atmospheric and interesting setting. The staff were very welcoming. We had lunch on Saturday and the food was very good. The cheesecake for dessert was divine! I highly recommended this place.

Emma and I were wandering around Tenby on a drizzly Tuesday afternoon when we first stumbled across The Plantagenet. Hopefully we can forgiven for initially thinking this might be one of those arising trendy vegan establishments but we were very soon to discover it was far from that. We had lunch which consisted of sausage and mash and the chowder, washed down with the Franschhoek Cellar Chenin Blanc. Both of us were blown away and we quickly called to book for the following evening meal. We have just returned to the camp site feeling extremely happy once again and we cannot give this little hidden gem enough praise. Emma had the crab/mackerel pate starter and Hake main and I devoured and loved the lamb wellington. Complimented with the Argentinian Malbec. Amazingly, we then met the manager Laura who educated us on the history of this stunning building and with surprise informed us that her and her new team were only 3 weeks into the restaurant adventure. This is why I am writing chapter and verse on this review. If we could give it 6 stars we would !! Classic cooking at its finest backed up with a relaxed cosy atmosphere - well done to all !! Dean & Emma 29/5/24

A delightful dining experience. Delicious food. The seafood chowder was to die for. In fact our whole meal was really great and beautifully presented.

Pub needs a huge tidy up, was extremely dirty. Ordered Bacardi and Coke and was given Pepsi. Pepsi is not Coke. Please let your staff know to inform the next customers the correct drink.

Fantastic food and service. My partner and I both had the rump steak and were delighted at the quality…and the portion size was huge too! Can’t recommend enough and will eat here again if we return.

Found this place delightful, lovely food, perfect ambience and fantastic service. The scallops were amazing and the lamb steak 🥩😋, will definitely go here again, and well worth the money.

Perfect place for a lunch time bite to eat. Staff were very nice and it was without doubt the best steak and peppercorn sauce I have had in ages. The portions are huge! Highly recommended!

The atmosphere and service staff were excellent but the whole experience was let down by the poor skills of the chefs. The ingredients they use are top notch but they do not have the skills, or choose not to, deliver dishes deserving of them. Sauces are bland and at times lazy with little depth of flavour. There is little consistency in the dishes going to the table such as one lamb rack at 40 quid a pop looking and tasting like it had been boiled for hours to another looking like it was cooked just right. I suspect it was reheated from a rack prepared the previous day as it reached the table very quickly. Scallops were cold in the middle but a decent portion for the price and tasted good. Happy to pay much more for food if it deserves the price tag but in this case it was very disappointing food for the price. It could be easily corrected if management just admited their chefs lack consistency (see all previous reviews saying similar things). But positives are, an amazing atmosphere and attentive service staff. Can't give a higher score due to food and value for money.

5 star food 5 star portion 5 star prices 5 star staff will certainly coming back for food in October cannot recommend enough.

Busy while we were there but service and food were excellent. We had the £20 10oz steak & pint, the steak was tender and cooked to perfection. Came with a full plate of chips, onion rings and tomatoes and a jug of creamy pepper sauce. Highly recommended but not for light eaters. Great for watching sport on the many TV screens.

Best Sunday lunch I have ever had and lovely atmosphere and ambience

Absolutely fantastic pub restaurant lovely staff nice and warm nice seating what more can anyone ask for 10/10 will definitely be back

4 of us had the one of the best NYE at Tenby House, £85 each and we were sceptical about the free bar from 20:00-02:00 and buffet food but it was fantastic, bar was well staffed so no long queues and any drink you wanted was included in the price (they had run out of Baileys though) Hot buffet up until 22:30 was delicious and really well organised then a cold buffet was laid out after the hot buffet, again lots of choice and delicious. I can't state enough how lovely ALL the staff were, how well organised it was and yes it was busy but not overly packed. Wasn't a fan of queuing outside to make sure we got a table as not everyone with a ticket could be seated, we were lucky..not sure standing for 6hrs would have been as enjoyable. Maybe in future they could sell tickets for tables and seats to first come first served then standing only tickets at a slightly cheaper price..just an idea. I would definitely recommend and will certainly be back. Thank you Tenby House!

Always fabulous ambience, some visits rewarded by excellent food. If only it wasn't so expensive .... & inconsistent.

Good quick service. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Good food. We received a warm welcome on entering & our beagles were given a welcome too. We would definitely come back again. Thank you

Stunning place. The barman was unbelievably friendly and welcoming, telling us the history of the building! The atmosphere was magical, sitting in front of the open fire made us feel very Christmassy. The food was amazing, I had the fish stew, it was that fresh it tasted of the ocean. 10/10

Couldn’t wish for a nicer Christmas 🎄 Eve experience with a lovely warm welcome 🙏🏼 beautiful roast dinner and a toasty fire 🔥 Thanks all !

Had a lovely meal last night at this beautiful place, we had a late evening meal at around 6.30 pm. We had 3 young kids with us as well and the reception we received when arriving was lovely. The food was exceptional and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The ladies serving were so accommodating and polite. Only disappointing thing was we only had a little bit of cash to leave a tip as they don’t take tips on card which is understandable. Thank you for a lovely evening in the most amazing setting. This was a lovely start to our Christmas festivities.

Had an amazing meal last night. First time back in 20+ years! Lovely open fire and super atmosphere. Not somewhere you would go weekly, as was fairly expensive (but delicious). Will be going for our special occasions.

Food was OK not as good as recommended, had Sunday lunch but no beef left .Staff were lovley and a nice unusual building. May try a lunch at some point ,but did think Sunday lunch is overpriced

The most outstanding Sunday lunch I have ever had in 53 years on this planet, I cannot fault it, the party of 6 I was eating with felt to the same. Great job 👍 see you next time, will definitely be back

Plantagenet Tenby. A very classy quirky restaurant. A warm welcome by staff and glowing fire! Felt like you were entering a cosy home. Excellent service, with a lot of attention to detail throughout to make it a memorable evening. Chefs showcased the very best food. Garlic bread was the best I’ve tasted and the sea bass & cannon lamb were simply stunning. Both meals were gorgeous and plenty to eat! Together with a chilled bottle of white white, it was awesome. We finished our drinks in the bar below after exploring this amazing historical building. Staff more than happy for people to see the building’s historical features. The restaurant has a reputation which the owners and team are all clearly eager to maintain. If you have the opportunity to go and eat there, do not hesitate !Thank-you team! Joanne & Mike. 4th Nov 2023.

Visited for dinner after a day out in Tenby. Interesting decor, reminded me of being in a haunted hotel. Either way the food was excellent although maybe a little expensive

I have been to Tenby many times before, but this is the first time I have been here and it won’t be the last! A fantastic bar/ restaurant, plenty of sports and a fantastic olde world decor. The staff are good the log fire is great and the food is honest pub grub (with a bit extra )

A nice traditional pub, just popped in for a drink and decided to eat in. We ordered scampi and chips and fish and chips. Can’t fault the food which was hot, not greasy at all and plenty of it. Prices reasonable too would definitely go again

Got to restaurant when it opened at 5:30 so was empty. Atmosphere with candles and dim light really nice. Ordered scallops and a soup with bread to start. Mussels were only warm and butter for the bread almost frozen so wouldn’t spread. I mention this to the staff when she asked but she just smiled and walked away. Had mussels to start which were delicious. Won’t go again because of the starters and the non responsive attitude of staff member

It’s ok. Food not bad, not a great selection of drinks. It is rather expensive. Great to watch sport & has a decent sized beer garden.

Sunday lunch was fantastic, service fabulous. Our first visit to Tenby but not our last !! Can't wait to return

Pleasant find! We went in for lunch, the food was amazing and staff very attentive given we were the only ones there

Absolutely amazing food. We had a starter, main and dessert and loved every bite. The monkfish curry and the cannon of lamb are the 2 main dishes we went for and we were not disappointed. 10/10 for food, service, and atmosphere!

Visited on 7th October with wife and a friend to celebrate wife's birthday.Had a few drinks downstairs in the bar prior to our booking which was 7pm.Starter's were soup,thai fishcake and mussels, and mains were sea bass,Hake, and monkfish.The quality of food was first class, exceptional,but special mention must be made of the staff who served us.They were professional, polite,knowledgeable and friendly,jake the barman was very efficient and great at his job,and our waiter Milo was particularly attentive and gave us a brief history of the building which his parents have owned since the mid seventies.I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant if you are ever in Tenby.

Lovely food, nice staff best steak I've had in a while. 1 of the best restaurants in Tenby.

Found this hidden gem down a little side street and had a delicious Sunday lunch. About £17 per person for more food than we could manage to eat; I recommend both the roast lamb and beef options. Both came with large Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and a large variety of vegetables. Definitely recommend it

Just had the best Sunday dinner at your restaurant ☺️ Thanks Plantagenet 😋😋😋

Disapointed. From the menu and the prices charged i expected more. Starter, smoked mackerel pate, not a pate, it was crushed smoked mackerel, very nice, but not pate. Monk fish - overcooked, may beven have been reheated. Texture was cotton wool and so disappointing at £34 Overall, niche place, not for me, i could have cooked it better blindfolded.

A must place to go if you appreciate good food. Fantastic atmosphere and service. Highly recommended.

We popped in for a light lunch on a visit to Tenby. I'm afraid it promises much but delivers little. The decor is quirky and the building atmospheric, situated on a pretty side street, next to a National Trust Tudor Merchant's house, near the harbour. Food, however, was adequate but overpriced. The crab on my crab sandwich was almost pureéd (no luscious chunks of white meat) and my husband's parsnip soup (£10.95!) came without bread; we had to ask twice and he'd eaten most of the soup by the time it came. Service was apathetic, bordering on supercilious at times. Three lads more interested in chatting behind a curtain than attending to customers; indeed, a couple of prospective customers left when nobody greeted them. A shame because we are usually generous tippers. Wouldn't eat there again.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch there Amazing flavors , great service and fabulous atmosphere

I walked down to the Tenby House pub where a large board outside the bar detailed that the Rugby World Cup Game between England and Japan would be on tv. I walked in, bought an expensive pint of flat as a fart beer and sat waiting for the match. As the national anthems played, Buster Blood Vessel was belting out Lip Up Fatty on the loudspeakers so I went to the bar and asked if they were putting the commentary on for the game. The barmaid replied, “No, I don’t think we are”. I have to admit to being more than a little miffed, I mean why say they are going to show the game, and for me that means no loud pop music, it means an atmosphere created by the commentators no matter who is playing or how many people are watching, if you invite people then you should do the decent thing. I am here for a week but I won’t be going back in that pub ever again, its just so rude to invite people and then treat them like dirt!

Lovely food and drink, room a bit dark couldn't read the menu and I like to see what I'm eating, a little expensive aswell.

Extremely expensive and very poor portion size , I've had a fish finger larger than the piece of fish I was served here. Very disappointing!!

We had a fantastic pub lunch sat out in there out door area, the food was amazing and the portions were huge! Really friendly staff behind the bar too!

We were sadly disappointed with our dinner. The food was quite bland and not worth the money.

We went in mid August. It was lovely, however it was very expensive for the quality of food. We had a meal in Stables the night before which was cheaper and nicer! A main course is £28 to £35! I had a terrine for starters and the bread was so crisp that in trying to cut it (was impossible to bite) it pinged off my plate to the floor. Luckily the waiter was on it and saw this happen and promptly brought me a much more edible piece!

Fantastic pub, very traditional - couldn't believe how busy the restaurant was, I think every table was used. I did notice someone with a fish and chips and the fish looked a bit small, I thought to my self, I hope he ordered an OAP, small or child's portion. Happy hour was my best part, I had gotten there by luck just past 16:00, and then chose the small table on the right. After a short while all the locals seemed to pop in and the banter was great. I felt extremely welcome and I will pop in each year as I traditionally have a welsh holiday each year. I was the annoying person playing pool on my iPad if the management remembers me, see you again next year. And I think you owe me a shot of whiskey :)

Absolutely brilliant gem off the beaten path. Was nice to be away from the crowded places on the main streets in town. Food was absolutely amazing, service was perfect! A little on the pricier side (£16.50 for a burger), but totally worth the “tourist tax”. Will absolutely be back again!! Loved it!!

The place itself was well furnished and had a pleasant ambience. However, we found the staff to be quite rude and unwelcoming. We ordered the fish and chips and unfortunately this was a very expensive mistake to make. There was no taste to the fish and it looked very unappetising. It was pale with soggy batter. Neither I or my husband ate it. Didn't feel like we could complain to the staff as they were not very approachable. Would not recommend it for people to eat here. Left feeling hungry and grabbed a pizza on way back to our hotel

Food was outstanding. Very very very expensive starters! A bit over priced in my opinion, regardless the food was brilliant.

Best Roast dinner ever. 4 clean plates and fantastic quirky building. Highly recommend.

We came in for a drink & wish we hadn’t bothered as the bar staff were unwelcoming & bordering on rude. Decided not to eat here or even return. We ate in the Hope & Anchor instead much nicer & only short walk down hill.

Really interesting building which clearly has lots of history, and we'll put together, great atmosphere. Service also really good. However food is perhaps on the expensive side for what it is.

We were looking for a light bite on a Sunday afternoon and stumbled upon this gem. The building has to be experienced to be believed. So quirky and historic. Lovely staff and nice quiet atmosphere. Although they were only serving Sunday lunch we went for two children's plates that were lovely and just what we needed. We were looked after by the wonderful Harry who made us feel most welcome.

Fabulous lobster, the best in town!

A mix of good and bad. Mains were good (steak and lamb) as was the decor. Service less so - wine arrived pre-opened, lack of knowledge about various dishes and just a lack of interest in general. Some items are seriously over priced - bread is £7 as an example. Overall disappointed - there are better options in Tenby.

Lovely atmosphere. Great service. Our server Oscar was approachable, friendly and made us feel very welcome. Especially as it was Oscars first day. Would thoroughly recommend!

Stumbled across this establishment whilst exploring Tenby. So glad we did. From the moment you enter the building you can feel the history and authenticity. We were fortunate to get seated without a lunch booking. The staff were charming and attentive. And most importantly the food was delicious. I recommend trying the fresh oysters.

It had a lovely chilled vibe from the moment we walked in, the food was great and the service was too. Will definitely go back and eat again, highly recommended.

We found this by accident. What a find. The service and the building are great and the food is spot on. Thank you.

One of the oldest buildings in Tenby.I was cheeky and arrived without a booking..I was lucky.Had the mussels..oh my word. A must try if in Tenby but pre book.

This family owned and run restaurant is an absolute gem, run by an amazing lady (Nye) and with the help of her adult children and wonderful staff offer exquisite food expertly cooked and wonderfully presented accompanied with a well thought out and sourced wine list. My family, friends and I have been lucky enough to have been visiting for many years and would just like to put on record HUW truly grateful we are. Big love ❤️ from Tudor and family xxxxx

Lovely bones - spoiled by incongruous "hippy dippy" decor. Apart from our waiter (European chap, smartly dressed, very attentive and efficient), the staff appeared to have rolled in off the beach & were indifferent to the comfort of the customers. Noisy aussie banter from downstairs (staff? friends of staff?) didn't improve the ambience. The food was over-priced - my Monkfish was nice, but the rice wasn't cooked & it was clumpy, the sauce was meh. The wifes lamb was OK. I left my rice & sauce, mentioned my issue to the waiter & was offered our bottle of wine free as a gesture of goodwill. Tenby has more diners than restaurant covers available - perhaps this contributes to the general apathy towards diners in the town? Anyway, this place needs a good clean and decor sympathetic to the buiding - and the staff (apart from our waiter) need a bit of a shake.

If I could give no stars I would. Basic chicken curry and a pasta dish that cost £33 were absolutely awful. I would estimate that the ingredients and costs to cook were pennies for both. My wife's curry had barely any chicken in it and...

We went here for the first time recently and we will definitely be returning. The staff were amazing, and the food was delicious.

Wow wow wow. Absolutely love this place. The building is incredible, and the staff are awesome, each person we spoke to gave us an impression of passion and love for their job, so refreshing. The food was delicious, I especially liked the Monkfish, cooked perfectly. Thank you guys for a perfect experience. X

Stayed at the hotel and had food here , no the best place I have ever stayed and was hard to check in and check out

Lovely staff and nice restaurant but was let down by the food, crispy squid was a tiny portion for the price and was soggy.

Average is the best way to describe this place, nothing actually wrong with it but for some reason it misses the mark. Drinks selection is good at a reasonable price, food a little steep but if your looking to sit inside and have a nice...

Terrific bar and restaurant. The decor here is wonderful - lots of interesting paintings and ornaments throughout. The premodern Flemish chimney is especially stunning. All the staff were friendly. The food is expensive - but delicious and there were great options for vegetarians/vegans.

I loved our Sunday lunch at Plantagenet House. Food was divine and the staff super friendly and smiley. We went with our dog and they found space for us down in the bar which was extremely cosy and comfortable. Highly recommended if you are looking for a meal with character and quality in the charming Tenby.

I had rack of ribs very nice the wife had chilli nachos and cheesy garlic bread she enjoyed it but was to hot for my liking presented well nice atmosphere about the place sat outside quick service good friendly staff..wife couldn't eat all of hers...

I found this restaurant to be a wonderful back alley gem. It had a wonderful atmosphere calm and inviting. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing. We left extremely satisfied all round. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere for a first class meal.

The service and building were lovely but the food was incredibly disappointing especially for the price. Since my main cost £30 I was expecting something a little refined but the food was instead very mediocre and bland which was a shame.

I have always enjoyed visiting the Plantagenet House restaurant, normally as a special treat for birthdays and anniversaries, unfortunately on this occasion I had a poor experience, firstly on arrival our party of four where shown to our table which was pushed in tight to the seating area so we were unable to sit on one side of the table, I asked a member of staff if they could help me move the extremely heavy table but was ignored, after our party stood by the table for a few minutes I asked if we could be seated at a different table, we were then begrudgingly moved to a table next to where the waiting staff congregate near the entrance door under a loud speaker which had loud music playing above my head for the whole time, not a great table seeing as there where only by a handful of customers dining in the restaurant and many other vacant tables available,due to the reluctance of the staff not wanting to move us from the first table I dearnt have asked to be moved again. I chose the filet steak, as my main meal I have ordered this many times here and have always enjoyed it, unfortunately this time the meal was stone cold, the garlic butter wouldn’t even melt on the steak. I asked the waitress if my meal could be warmed up as I didn’t want a replacement meal as this would have spoiled the evening, not being able to eat with my party. After about 10mins the plate returned but unfortunately the meal was still lukewarm, I decided not to complain again as my party where already half way through eating their meals and I didn’t want to spoil the evening for everybody else. I hope this was just a one off as I have enjoyed dining in this restaurant many times in the past without issue and have recommend it to many friends colleagues and family.

I visited Plantagenet House this evening, It's a great looking place, with lots of character. The staff were great, polite friendly and helpful. The service was good with the food arriving quickly. Sadly the Butternut Squash Wellington was a big let down, bland and tasteless and definitely not worth the money I paid for it.

What an amazing meal, had the dirty fries chicken wings bbq and spicy onion rings and garlic bread sat on table 12 . Omg where to begin just Thank you so much for such a stunning meal even though you were busy with meals they...
