The Burlington Restaurant in Craven - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Me and my husband enjoyed a very lovely evening at the garden room last night. Tom and his team took good care of us.All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. We had the seafood tasting menu with wine pairing which was fresh and delicious.The garden room is lovely and bright with views of the garden.We ended the evening in the bar which.I would highly recommend!

We had the tasting menu mid week and had a very enjoyable evening. The food was good but not in the same league as the Angel in Hetton but the service was poor. The girls were not sure exactly what they were serving and were not attentive. They didn’t finish pouring our wine - we thought we had finished the bottle and it wasn’t until after dessert, we realised there was some left - at that point we were onto our coffees. It was disappointing for a a restaurant of this standing to have such poor service.

We were spending the night at The Devonshire arms for my husband's birthday. we enjoyed a fabulous time in the Spa & hotel & chose the Burlingtons tasting menu for dinner. what a wonderful leisurely night was spent, enjoying the delights that were put before us . The food was beautifully presented. Imaginative . Locally sourced & bursting with flavour. The Chefs are really talented. Service was good.staff attentive. A memorable Birthday night.

We visited for afternoon tea and had an excellent experience. We'd mentioned in advance about some dietary requirements and the chef had prepared a completely separate afternoon tea which was much appreciated. There was a great selection of sandwiches and sweet treats, and the staff were very welcoming and friendly.

This was a Christmas present from our daughter. The setting is lovely, staff are excellent and the actual afternoon tea was in my top 3. I preferred the savoury items (saffron arancino and chorizo quiche) and the sweet stuff to the sandwiches. My favourite sweet things were the carrot cake (gorgeous) and the chocolate slice. The buttermilk scones were very tasty. Good choice of teas, I had Lapsang Souchong. They also did a great alternative for lactose intolerance. All in all, very enjoyable.

My wife and I were delighted to find (albeit by accident) that The Burlington is once again doing Sunday Lunch.I see that it is over nine years since I bemoaned its demise on Tripadvisor. We seized upon the news and duly attend-the food was of exceptional quality and good value.However,our delight was short lived as we learnt that the elegant room is shortly to be turned into a function room as the hotel "must move with the times" Whilst the adjacent conservatory is very pleasant it cannot match the tradition and style of The Burlington,so we left disappointed that the reprieve is only temporary.

Had a lovely meal! Delicious food, first class service, in fresh, new surroundings. Would recommend!

Venue and decor….relaxing , cosy, country house. Dining room is relatively relaxed all be it lacking a little atmosphere. Service…from Yorkshire! Warm welcome, honest but attentive Wine and drinks….one of the region’s largest selection with a knowledgeable sommelier. Delicious cocktails. Food ….obviously good quality ingredients . BUT as someone who frequently ‘fine dines’ it just tries too hard and fails. Sauces over reduced to the point of being bitter, texture that goes beyond crunch to grit. It’s a shame…obvious talent in the kitchen but feels like a quest for a Michelin star rather than a passion for great taste. First time I’ve eaten out when everything is great…except the food which could with a slightly different approach could easily be there.

We ate in the Burlington Restaurant as part of a two-night dinner, bed and breakfast package at the Devonshire Arms. Dinner was seven courses served as a tasting menu. It was a delightful time together, and when the ‘Chocolate’ course was served, so was a special chocolate birthday item for one of our family. We appreciated the highlighting of local produce during the meal, and the effective service.

We had the tasting menu with the accompanying wine flight. The staff were amazing and the chef accommodated a dietary allergen I have by offering alternatives (the one selected was superb). Both the waiting staff and sommelier were very attentive and helped make the evening what it was. As for the food, it was a tasting menu so don't expect large portion sizes. However, we left feeling full. The dishes were fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed every one. The drinks were well paired and any questions we had about them were answered by the team.

Absolutely outstanding service from the second we entered to the second we left Tom was just amazing , I have a broken leg and we were very well looked after The food was just exceptional, we have been to many Michelin stared restaurants and this outshone some of them , every course was Devine , the attention to details and flavours This restaurant is so worthy of a star Just loved everything about it Thank you for taking such good care of us We will definitely be back Rachel & Lindsay

Excellent food and service, staff excellent, food amazing and good portions, we had 6 courses and the wine flight, couldn’t finish with chocks as so full, would defiantly visit again

For a special dinner, the tasting menu was sublime, with knowledgable service and a matching wine flight.

I was really surprised with the average quality of our afternoon tea, the sandwich fillings especially. The cakes were mostly average, apart from the scones which were delicious. I'm afraid I won't be back.

Delicious interesting food all locally sourced well presented in a delightful setting. Staff were very efficient and friendly .

Fantastic food and the service was excellent. There was nothing we could fault apart from having to wear the ‘ mask’ through the restaurant before being seated. But that is due to the current pandemic. The hotel handled the situation impeccably. We will be back!

Dinner at the Burlington post lockdown was a quite exceptional experience, with the restaurant winning high marks from us for atmosphere, food, service and Covid awareness. From the moment we tried the pre-dinner appetizers we had the feeling this was going to be a memorable evening (the lobster toast was something I could eat a lot of!) and our four different starters and mains were all excellent. The duck pastrami was a revelation, the mushroom starter genuinely clever. Both the suckling pig and the cod were good dishes; if I was to mark them down at all it would be because sometimes chefs use water baths when they don't need to. The cod could have been hotter. On the other hand I might mark both up again straight away for the range of interesting and tantalizing flavours tucked into these attractively presented dishes. The desert (peach melba for both of us) was superlative but didn't really match the description (were those peaches really poached in sauternes?) but hey, who cares when food is this good! A bottle of Nyetimber's 2009 rose was really fine. Service was attentive, friendly, just right. Covid awareness was exceptional and compared with the best we have seen since we started eating out again in July. We felt absolutely safe. At £75 a head this was a meal that was worth every penny and one of those rare occasions when the standard 5% service charge wasn't enough. Bravo to everyone concerned.

We had the taster menu, it was very well presented and was delicious! It did take quite a while to get through all the courses but it was a lovely experience.

Had a meal and overnight stay as a Christmas present. 4 of us had the taster menu with wine flight and we all thoroughly enjoyed both. For each of us there was a course which we could't eat but these were substituted without any difficulty. The sommelier explained each of the wines and they were all excellent choices. The service was professional and friendly. Will certainly return

Visited as part of a two night package staying in the hotel.We have eaten here before but many years ago.Ambience and service were very good.Food is good without being spectacular. They clearly have Michelin ambitions but I don’t think are quite there yet.Wine list is impressive but expensive.Overall very pleasant meal.

A pre-Xmas dinner with friends. A very positive experience. Excellent food and wine. The maitre d' was quite characterful, if a little eccentric. But if you are not into a stuffy dining experience then this would be ideal. I was quite surprised at a couple of the guests (residents of the hotel) extremely casual dress code that personally felt was not in keeping...call me old fashioned. Not expecting dinner suits but jeans and t-shirt was a little underwhelming. I guess a paying guest is a paying guest. It didn't spoil the evening and all was good. The restaurant charges at the premium end of fine dining and, compared to many I have visited, it certainly tries to deliver the experience, but was I wow'd and felt it was worth it - possibly not, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good.

Taster menu food is divine. The wine is presented by a trained semellier and the service is excellent.

I booked this restaurant as a special night out with friends on our New Year trip to Yorkshire. As we were staying some 25 miles away and wanted to enjoy our evening, we booked taxis to and from the restaurant, allowing ourselves 2.5 hours for dining. Our table was booked for 8:30 with pre dinner drinks at 8. We were still sitting in the cocktail bar at 8:50! In the restaurant the head waiter was friendly and very knowledgeable and the meal began well. We had chosen the al a carte menu, so a 3 course dinner with a couple of tasty extras thrown in! By 10:20 we had not been served our mains so we asked for these to be expedited. Unfortunately 2 of the meals were cold when they arrived and had to be sent back! As our taxi was due at 11 we gave our desert choices before the end of our main course. Everything was rushed and spoilt because of this. It seemed that the number of staff had dwindled after 10pm. We even had to pour our own wine.This was not the experience we had expected. We were offered a complimentary desert wine and there was no service charge put on the bill, but when spending over £450.00, one doesn’t expect to be so disappointed.

My wife and I went here last night and went for the A La Carte Menu...Food was excellent in every way, service impeccable, I forgot just how good The Burlington is.... won't be long before we return.The only thing I could mention is that it can lack atmosphere if you are one of the early diners.

Every morning this was a great sight to see, and enjoy the English breakfast. During our stay we aattended normally 09:00 in the morning and this was not crowded.

Came here for a birthday treat. Never disappoints - exquisite and adventurous food. Great service and seemingly limitless cellar. Excellent sommelier whose recommendations were great. What these guys don’t know about food and wine isn’t worth knowing.

Fabulous noveau cuisine menu,great,attentive and knowledgeable staff.Huge choice of wines.A dining experience.

This was the first time I've been able to have a vegan afternoon tea anywhere and so I wasn’t sure what I was going to get and what it would be like. I requested the vegan option a few days before we went and they really made an effort to provide me with a great choice, including sandwiches, scones, jams and cakes – all vegan. Excellent – particularly the cakes – which you would never have guessed were vegan. Afternoon tea is served in the conservatory, which is very comfortable and provides lovely views of the gardens. Service and attention to detail at the Burlington was excellent as usual.

Excellent food and very amusing and knowledgable staff who served amazing food. Very theatrical experience!

We are becoming veterans of afternoon teas and had received a birthday present of a voucher for £100 so decided to wait until it was a beautiful forecast and enjoy a Champagne Afternoon Tea at The Devonshire Arms.

We stayed here for only one night and had the tasting menu. The hotel is beautiful, the food fantastic and the service exceptional. What mor can you ask for? I can not wait to return.

We had the tasting menu and it was excellent. The whole experience was superb with fantastic food and service. We’ve been fortunate to dine in a number of Michelin starred restaurants and the experience here was better than a number of them. The only minor hiccup was that the Halibut dish was ever so slightly overlooked. Taste can be subjective and because every other dish and the service was so good, there’s no way we wouldn’t give them 5 stars. We will be back.

My wife and I visited the restaurant as past of our anniversary overnight stay visit.

We stole a night away from the bustle of life and dinner at the Burlington. The staff were very individual and attentive, drinks before dinner were spot on and dinner was delicious. An evening to remember. B

We took my Mother in Law here for her 88th birthday It was a Wednesday so was very quiet and perhaps as a result somewhat lacking in atmosphere

Wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful setting. Couldn't of asked for more our evening was made perfect by attentive friendly staff.

Great service and quality food - would definitely recommend! Special mention to Chris who explained all the dishes with great knowledge and experience. The wine choices are also amazing

We had the tasting menu here on a Sunday night as we were staying at the hotel. We started off at the cocktail bar where we were presented with the menu and the wine list which is very extensive.

Fabulous food and outstanding service. Staff were very knowledgeable about the food. Wonderful experience.

A celebration meal which really delivered. From arrival to departure, it was difficult to fault any aspect on the evening.

Ecellent cuisine. Portions a bit small but not too bad. It woiuld help if they served what was ordered and served the wines before each course was finished.

We booked this very last minute after seeing an offer on Secret Escapes. We knew nothing about the hotel or chef but decided to take a chance. We were very glad that we did. We chose the 9 course tasting menu which was excellent. We have eaten in many Michelin starred restaurants and this definitely is on a par with some of them. There are just a few things which in my opinion could be improved. We had a pre dinner drink in the lounge which we thought came with canapes but only sugared nuts were offered which were a bit sweet with the drinks. However when we were seated canapes were brought to the table which seemed strange as our pre dinner drinks were already finished. However as we were having the wine flight we were given another drink which although ok would not have been of our choosing. In my opinion the canapes would have been better to have been served in the lounge. We chose the wine flight which was good but for the wines on offer perhaps a bit expensive. There was sometimes quite a long gap between courses and it would have been easy to finish the wine before the next course arrived. I think tablecloths would have made a better impression rather than bare tables . However all in all we enjoyed our evening very much , the staff were friendly and professional and I would expect a star to be coming soon. I could not pick out any dish as my favourite as each one was as good as the one before.

Had a great meal here, others can wax lyrical about the food but I'll simply say it was presented well, varied and pushed me to try things I wouldn't normally have chosen - and surprised me with them!

We have eaten here on a number of occasions and the food has always been excellent. When eating here in October I was pleased to see that they they have introduced a separate vegetarian tasting menu, although on this occasion I wanted a vegan menu. All we had to do was request this when making our reservation and, hey presto, I had a lovely 6 course tasting menu to enjoy. I'd love to tell you what I ate but I'm afraid the menu was not printed out and I can't remember exactly what I had. So, all I can tell you is that if you're vegan and concerned that you won't be able to get a fantastic meal here - don't worry - you can. Just provide a couple of days notice and they'll be able to accommodate your needs. Apart from this, my only comment is that the wine pairing is very expensive and makes the cost of a meal here rather pricey. Perhaps buying a bottle instead would be better.

A wonderful experience with each course complimenting the next one. The selected wines went perfectly with each course and introduced us to some new grape varieties.

We stayed for the Michael Wignall special dinner, which comprised of a 11 course menu, that was just fabulous. It lasted from 7.30pm until 11.30pm with just the best food you could ask for. The restaurant staff were very good & very professional.

Chose the A la Carte and enjoyed a wonderful meal, scallops for starters and hogget for mains and a superb cheese selection for dessert. All were great but it was the canapés, amuse bouche and Pre-dessert which stole the show, all outstanding with carefully chosen and matched flavours. So Paul Leonard is a talented chef but the other staff made the evening too, friendly, polite, knowledgeable from the Maitre D, to the French waiter and the barman.

superb not to be forgotten food served by excellent staff .. a taste experience to die for . We ate things we have never previously eaten and loved every one of the myriad courses ( at least a starter and main PLUS at least six or seven 'tasters' which were just superb

We recently visited the Burlington for my mum's 70th birthday.

I went with my husband and parents aged 75 and 80. We booked a table at 9pm as we weren't able to get an earlier one. We were told to get there for 8:30pm which we did. We had some drinks and canapes and they took our orders for food & wine before sitting us down at our table at 9pm. The staff were all very pleasant but the service was incredibly slow. After waiting for half an hour, our first course still didn't arrive so they kept bringing us more bread. Our first course eventually arrived at 9:45pm and our main at 10:20pm. We were unable to leave the restaurant until 11:30pm. My poor parents were so tired. My husband & I were really tired too. They obviously need to get more kitchen staff. Food was ok and nothing very special. We live in London and so are spoilt by the choices and high standards we get in London. The wines were hugely marked up. Most restaurants mark up wine prices by 3-4 times but the wines there were 5x marked up which is just too expensive.

The restaurant is comfortable rather than grand.

This was the second time we had done afternoon tea here, first time was excellent this time was very disappointing. From the minute we had to ask to go to our table, to the dirty table cloth, they didn't change it just move us to another table. There wasn't enough staff on to make this special bearing in mind how much you pay here. Won't be rushing back again

We had breakfast in the Burlington Restaurant during our stay. The facilities, staff and offering of food and beverages was as you would expect. Lots of options, very helpful staff and scrumptious food.

We enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu and opted for the wine flight to accompany it. One of the wines wasn't to our taste so Xavier, our waiter, organised a different one for us. A very enjoyable meal.

Dinner with family and friends. The food was absolutely excellent and the service superb.definitely a place to enjoy with friends or family.

Had the 9 course tasting menu. Every dish was perfect, deserves a Michelin star. Fantastic service - even given a lift back to where we stayed by the manager as the rain had started to pour down and we were walking.

The Burlington is a michelin star fine dining restaurant within the Devonshire Arms. Excellent service, food quality and preparation with extensive wine list.

Upon being shown to the lounge bar area on arrival, Jack, the restaurant manager read my mind. "Would you like to start with a glass of champagne"?. I certainly did. I suspect many people go here for a very special occasion where champagne is most appropriate. I was educated that a Nebuchadnezzar of Champagne costs £1,100. Thankfully, that quantity was more than we required. Champagne cocktails to start it was. I was also educated that their collolasal wine list (actually large folder) and cellars were within the top ten in the UK.

We had a very nice experience on Sunday evening after a long walk in the dales.

Every time we come we know we're in got a treat and this time did not disappoint.

Lovely couple of breakfasts while staying at The Devonshire Arms.

Excellent meal, ate everything. Service very good, waiters efficient and helpful. Good bottle of wine.

Location is brilliant, good table on the terrace however the service was very average and so slow - had to go and ask for a menu - twice, teas and coffee arrived ages before the scones and preserves - a tiny pot of clotted cream and jam, not enough for v small scones that weren't v fruity - no sugar with tea or napkin with scones. Asked for bill no one came to collect money, tried to pay in reception but couldn't - headed to bar! Average at best.

We were staying in the Devonshire Arms and arranged a birthday meal in the Burlington Restaurant, so family living locally could join us.

I took my wife here for the vegetarian taster menu. We are well traveled so know what great food tastes like. The food and service were first class and we'll be visiting again

As a vegetarian it was a real treat to have a genuinely exceptional meal .The courses were beautiful to look at, with a wonderful balance of fresh herbs and vegetables grown by the restaurant itself,bursting with flavour and perfectly cooked. We will be bringing our Japanese "foody" friends when they next visit, as a superb example of English Cooking at it's best.Thank you!

First time here as part of a visit to the area and called for a light lunch.

I was treated to the 6 course tasting menu with paired wines by my partner for my birthday and it was absolutely fantastic! Upon arrival we had a glass of champagne and were seated in a lovely lounge. The menu was very interesting and the wines were paired beautifully. The waiters were very attentive and I would certainly like to visit again! Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

We stayed in the hotel for two nights and ate here on the first night having the nine course tasting menu and accompanying wine flight. The food was pretty good although the most memorable dish was the three small appetisers we were served before being shown to our table. The service was good throughout and at a nice pace which is essential with so many courses. The accompanying wines were lovely and measures quite generous. My only real complaint would be the distinct lack of ambience in there. We had a 1900 table booked for us by the hotel when we booked and when we sat down there was only the two of us plus a single diner. There is no background music so felt rather uncomfortable. More diners joined us at 1930 and 2000 so it did get a bit better as the evening went on (and no doubt the wines had a mellowing effect on me!). Overall, a nice evening but not overly memorable which was a pity as this was for a special occasion. We actually had a slightly better evening the next day in the Brasserie.

Six course tasting menu with wine flights. Was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Wines matched perfectly and different ones chosen to match altered dishes to cater for allergies. Perfect service.

Amazing taster menus - and the wine cellar has a great wine list. the service is impeccable. An ideal place for a celebration

I came here with my Mum and future Mother in law as a Mother’s Day gift as this is where we will getting married and thought it would be a lovely way to show the the Mums where the wedding will. It really did not disappoint. There had been lots of cancellations due to the weather so the conservatory was empty and therefore a little chilly but that didn’t spoil it for me. Everything was beautiful but outstanding element for me was definitely the fresh from the oven scones. They were AMAZING!!!

Conceptually I don't like Chef's tasting menus but it is unavoidable in the Burlington. However if you go down this route it needs to deliver something memorable which it didn't. The menu lacked inspiration and that was reflected on the plate with some combinations that simply didn't work and basic flaws like overcooked turbot

We are staying at the hotel for one night to have a little rest and relaxation. We booked 1830 for 1900 for dinner and arrived at the lounge area in time.

Fine surroundings, fine drink, fine food at a fine price folks!! You get what you pay for! You may even see a private regular or 2 land on the lawn in their helecopters plus the odd famous face niw and then!!

There are not many nice places in the area that warrant wearing your best but this is worth the bother to make it a special occasion. Won't list the best dishes as all the food was well presented, very well prepared and excellent for taste. The team in the restaurant, especially the new guy Romain, were a notch above for attentive yet discreet service. The cocktail bar could do with more experienced staff trained to the same level of attentive service to reflect the surroundings (as opposed to just carrying out tasks). Good linen table clothes would be nice too.......

Just had the best afternoon tea ever at the Devonshire Arms. Really worth a visit or to treat someone special

Stayed at The Devonshire Arms on one of their inclusive deals . Ate in the Burlington Restaurant on our second...

When you're on that difficult second date, it's time to impress. So I booked us a table here on a...

Dined here whilst staying in the hotel on the 'Taste of the Dales' deal including dinner bed & breakfast, on...

I am not a food snob, and will eat almost anything I am not allergic to. The whole experience of dining here was fantastic. We were a party of 6 , and tried a few things from the A La Carte menu. From the amouse Bouche? to the cheese and port at the end I could not fault any of the food and the excellent service we got. ( ok I could have eaten 2 of most things) We celebrated our friends Birthday and had a very special evening.

We made a return visit to the Burlington restaurant for my birthday this year. We had eaten there previously when staying at the hotel. We had the Tasting menu, as on our previous visit. The food was exquisite, we had been very impressed previously, this was better. Beautifully presented,the main element of the dish was enhanced with tiny morsels of vegetables, fruit and other textures, to make each mouthful a joy to eat. I have been lucky enough to eat at some wonderful places, but feel this meal was the best I have ever eaten. The chef had changed since our last visit, I feel that the standard of food is even better now.

I don't often pay £70 for a three course meal but this was a real fine dining experience. From canapés, pre-starter, starter, main, pre-dessert and dessert, we enjoyed every course. Each had a very defined flavour or texture or both. I particularly liked kohlrabi with crab consommé. I wasn't keen on the veg offered with the lamb but it was happily swapped with the beef accompaniments - no stuffiness here! The room is relaxed and elegant and the staff exemplary. A lovely evening all-round.

The restaurant offers both a la carte and tasting menus. We opted for the a la carte and weren't disappointed. The food was delicious with dishes that offered both strong and subtle flavours. We choose the lobster and veal starter, lamb main followed with the almond parfait and chocolate ganache for dessert. There were also appetizers, palate cleanse etc. Due to the nice weather over the Bank Holiday we were fortunate to have a table in the beautiful conservatory. The wine menu was extensive and you could buy by the bottle or glass. Despite having lamb for our mains we chose a smooth Pinot Grigot which was worth the price. The food was absolutely faultless but was let down by the service we received. Service started off really well and it wasn't until we had finished our main that we became invisible for a good 15-25 minutes. The staff seemed more preoccupied with a couple behind us who were on the tasting menu, the service they received was exceptional but it was to our detriment. We were sat with our finished plates for quite some time despite trying to get the attention of the preoccupied serving staff. By the time we received the pre-dessert palate cleanse this had become a pointless dish due to the length of time after our mains. Service did pick up for us again which was a relief as we were worried that we'd be eating our dessert for breakfast. To put it more in perspective the two couples on the same menu, on either side of us, who arrived after us, finished and left the restaurant before us.In addition to our meal we had tea and coffee with petit fours in the cocktail lounge which was a nice way to finish off our evening. Despite the lull in service we had an enjoyable meal.

We enjoyed the a la carte menu as part of the Devonshire Arms experience. The new chef had created a range of fine courses and amuse bouches which even got our niece trying new flavours. While the drinks were pricey, the overall package was served by excellent staff, and left a great taste in the mouth, and memory for us all.

Food ok, but not impressed with their dress code and service dwindled towards the end of the meal. Was looking forward to the new chef's stamp, but failed to deliver

This has 3 AA rosette but the service and food was actually of a higher quality. Perhaps it was the new chef, who was anxious for some positive feedback. All the dishes were excellent, but so were the incidental dishes: amuse bouche, appetizers, palate cleansers, so forth.Recommended were the duck breast, the Angus beef, and for the true carnivores, the veal sweetbread. Desserts were of the same high standards, but we couldn't find the space to fit in that very inviting cheeseboard.

After our spa day we had afternoon tea at he Burlington. It is gorgeous! So so pretty! The staff were great and were so helpful and attentive. The food was amazing, the best afternoon tea we have ever had!

We include a review on the Resuarant in a review of the Devonshire Arms. What more can we say other than its fabulous. Food was exceptional as was the service not cheap but worth the extra cost as quality and care in preparation costs! Great for a special occasion!

One night staying at the hotel and the Burlington was a must. Although my wife would have liked to experience the Taster menu, for me there were a couple of items on this menu that I would not have appreciated so we both opted for the A la carte instead as you can't mix menus. The wine list is extensive and expensive. Despite this, we were led by the French Maitre de table to the cheapest bottle on offer as the ideal to accompany duck and Yorkshire beef; a bottle of Californian Cabernet Sauvignon at £32 and uniquely in my experience we were given a sample to taste to compare with an Argentinian Malbec at £40 which had been my first choice.A delicious mise bouche was followed by local lobster for both of us, the duck and beef to follow and delicious chocolate deserts. We also added the cheese course as an extra.The restaurant is currently between head chefs at the moment with the new chef due to arrive in August. Our meal was cooked by the sous chef of 15 years experience and all I can say is that he clearly is a wonderfully talented deputy.As with all fine dining do not come expecting large portions it is the quality of the flavours that are important not the quantity. Whilst not quite the best experience that I have experienced in fine dining it was close enough and not far off Michelin standard but a little way to go yet.Highly recommended

Overall the food was good but generally missed the mark on being exciting, which I thought it would be. We were a party of 4 and being told we all had to eat the Tasting Menu or the Al a Carte by a member of staff that was surly,unsmiling and unwelcoming was not a good start.

The whole food experience here is perfection. The cooking is amazing and the service, though a bit formal for me, was done with wit and style. I can vouch for the scallop starter and the lamb main course and my partner loved the turbot. It's not cheap but this a labour-intensive operation that fully justifies the price. We'll be back.

We opted for the "8" course tasting menu. To call it "8" courses is maybe a bit ambiguous as they class the amuse bouche as the first course. The food itself was well presented but no course stood out as special. The butternut squash was lacking in flavour and the duck had undercooked skin.The service was poor we were offered bread 3 times before we actually got any (though the onion bread was very good.Clearly more work is required to get back to it's former glory!

Visited Sunday evening as I had understood that weekends can get quite busy with weddings etc.Food and service (and location) superb.In my opinion just as good, if not better, than other establishments in the area which have been awarded a Michelin Star

We had a delightful 6 course meal at this restaurant. The food was simply brilliant. The staff were excellent (some courses needed some explaining!), they were always on hand when you needed them but were never intrusive. It was truly a delight to eat here!

Our 8 course taster menu was an absolute masterpiece. Fresh local ingredients mixed with the chefs exceptional talent combine to deliver a true dining adventure. I was very disappointed that I was starting to feel quite full by course 6 but there was no way I was going to miss out on some wonderful food. And I was so glad I did. We will definitely be returning.

We went here as part of a wedding in march, The devonshire arms is an old, beatiful hotel and expensive to stay at, I think its overpriced for what you get, the service is average, the drinks not too bad priced compared to other things in the hotel.The wedding ran late due to the hotel, the bars serving drinks were very small and you had to form part of a long line of thirsty drinkers, the food at the weeding was really good and tasty, but some guests food was cold, were the wedding took place was nice but there was an strong smell coming from the kitchen which filled the room (think it was cabbage). Service was slow so by the time the evening event was due to start and evening guests were arriving the wedding breakfast had not fully finished.Overall it was a good day but due to the people the day was spent with, not due to the hotel or staff. It could have been done better, plus staying here at the hotel in its overpriced rooms can be costly and doesn't compare to other hotels in the area.

Delicious food, excellent team of Paul and Alex to serve and others who take pride in their jobs and show their passion by serving with pride.

We had a meal for five, Fantastic service. Head waiter was french and provided the mot wonderful explanation of the deserts,

Had a fabulous meal on our first night at the Devonshire Arms. Wonderful food - Beetroot may not sound like a very exciting main course but it was exceptional. Service w as good as the food.
