The Gainsborough Restaurant in Cheshire West and Chester

8 of us went for an evening meal. The Maitre D' was very rude and i think his saying is "the customer is always wrong." We asked if we could have seperate bills and he said NO. When he gave me the menu, I asked if there was another as the one on the website was different, again he said NO, the one on the website is out of date. One of our party didn't get their starter until we had to find someone and ask for it. The Main meal was awful, no seasoning or flavour. I must say my desert was nice, We were never asked, at any time if everything was alright. We wondered if we were at Faulty towers. When our bill arrived we again asked if he could bring seperated bills, He said " I've already told you NO. During our meal we could hear the Maitre D' telling 1 of the lovely waitresses off in a very loud agressive manner. He is very rude and a bully. He said he had worked there 23 years. God help them. We will NEVER go there again and will advise others not to.

Possibly the most disgusting meal I have ever eaten. Spinach pancake. I was intrigued what this very outdated dish would be like. Well I wish l had eaten my dinner out of the bin pretty much the same thing possibly be better out of the bin. Please anyone who is thinking of attending willinton Hall for a meal of any sort don't!! turn around and go anywhere else. As for the management well words can't begin to describe how disgusting these apparent people are. I have seen wild animals have better manners.

Have been numerous times over the past few months for lunch - always a great experience, food top notch, staff friendly, great service and wonderful location

We visited Willington Hall restaurant for a family Sunday lunch having pre - booked and advised of our dietary requirements - 2 vegans, 1 vegetarian and 1 gluten and dairy intolerant as well as meat eaters. The staff were welcoming on arrival, however there was some uncertainty with regard to the vegetarian and vegan options on the menu - even when the member of staff taking our order had checked with the chef. The options for the gluten and dairy intolerant family member were also not clear. The vegan main course option was a very average plate of pasta with peppers and olives. The nut roast would have been the preferred choice but it was not clear from staff as to whether this was vegan. Willington Hall is under new ownership and hopefully they will realise that there are an increasing number of vegetarians and vegans in the UK and rethink the menu options. Clearer labelling on the menu would also be helpful.

We were her for a wake and I'm not sure whether we were in this restaurant or a function room. There were doors leading out to the garden and great views. All the staff were very efficient and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The buffet was absolutely delicious, sandwiches were immaculate. I'd like to visit here again sometime as it's an impressive looking building.

Limited menu should not run out of food and food should be cooked as stated, not overcooked. Service was slow, unhelpful and on two occasions, actually rude. Don't go there.

Excellent food served, welcoming staff, stunning views of gardens, beautiful food, great function rooms, excellent bar, wonderful venue thanks

My wife and I have visited many a restaurant in the area but the Gainsborough has to be one of the most enjoyable that we have experienced in a long time, the service was by far the best we had come across and the food was something else what more can I say other than thank you so much we will return.

The Gainsborough restaurant at Willington Hall was a welcome surprise for us, providing an extremely well-executed meal in very reasonable surroundings with attentive service. The menu was, however, somewhat limited as, despite eating pretty early, one of the main options had already been exhausted.

Fuimos para una Navidad Willington Hall de noche. La cena era pasable, lustre falta, el servicio no era brillante, y no de mucho esfuerzo para ser útil o agradable del personal, tenía que servir a nuestro vino, como este era incómodo. señoras Para dar un sabor el galletas saladas en la mesa era el más barato posible. Es una pena, un edificio encantador que se presta para Navidad, podría haber sido una cálida y agradable bienvenida y la noche. Necesidad de sacar sus calcetines y agregar algunos finura.

After a warm welcome and a drink in the bar enjoying the wonderful views we chose from a delicious menu.Our daughter was married here four years ago so it was a sentimental choice as she was at home Asparagus with crusty eggs was ahuge favourite with our party and the lamb was super .Welldone chief the portions were just right.notover facing as in so many Cheshire resturants.Lovely service too.

Leyendo otros comentarios, parece que los jardines son un gran atractivo (especialmente para bodas). Sin embargo en el hotel y restaurante en una noche de invierno fue una experiencia deprimente. La decoración es terriblemente fuera de fecha y de mal gusto y todo el lugar es gracia y aburrida, y no ofrece una cálida bienvenida. Todo es verde oscuro y marrón oscuro y necesita renovar.La comida es muy normal tanto en calidad y presentación. El personal era muy servicial, me sentí lo siento por tener que trabajar en ese ambiente.

Excellent meal cooked to perfection in this wonderful country location.The bar in itself was comfortable and inviting with friendly,attentive and proffesional staff.Our view in the Gainsborough Restaurant was wonderful,overlooking the gardens and Welsh hills.As regards the food I decided to have scallops for my starter,which was really tasty.Then onto the main,where we all ate Chateaubriand.It was cooked as requested and was nothing short of tender and wonderful.I don't know how but I made room for dessert- jelly and cream,with a difference.I'll not say more on this than I like my champagne!

Tuvimos una comida encantadora. Muy bien cocinados y presentados. Mis necesidades dietéticas eran también tomado en serio. El chef incluso salió de vernos y comprobar que estábamos contentos con la comida. El personal era muy ocupado como una fiesta de boda era de esperar, sin embargo nos dieron la mejor atención y servicio. La comida era muy buena, el personal es encantador y unos alrededores maravillosos, ¿qué más se puede pedir. Gracias a todos.

As we were staying at Willington Hall we decided to eat in their dining room, The Gainsborough Restaurant. I loved the silk panelled walls and the way the light reflected off the fabric. The room really glowed in the evening sun.My favourite dish was the Braised Pressing of Rabbit. I imagined a bunny shaped pancake, but luckily I got a delicious terrine of loin, leg and wild mushroom, with a shallot puree and toasted croutons. The croutons were very thin slices of continental bread, sautéed in olive oil with salt – yummy! Ta da! Best crouton award!The meal was very enjoyable, in a most lovely setting, which I think really enhanced the dining experience, and it was good value too.My full review, with pictures, is here: http://idontlikepeas.co.uk/dinner-at-the-gainsborough-restaurant-willington-hall/

Tuvimos una comida hace una semana y estuvo enfermo durante tres días ... ordenados co qua vin, era básicamente 3 Drumsticks flotando en color, sabor agua, peor comida jamás ... Lo siento no volveremos. Me he quejado pero nos llevaron fuera y no quería causar una escena.

Recientemente visité willington hall para una cena romántica el jueves por la noche. La bienvenida que recibimos de Camila el joven rubia señora de la recepción fue maravilloso cálido, ella tomó nuestros abrigos nos enseñó a través de la barra y tomamos una bebida orden que ella trajo más rápidamente. La otra señora de guardia fue algo distante al principio pero calentado durante la noche, pero de ninguna manera tenía ella eclipsado nuestra visita (no pretendo hacer sobre el clima) . Cuando llegó la comida era glorioso y la presentación obviamente es algo los chefs se enorgullecen. Volveremos para el servicio espero que el pequeño la misma chica estará allí para saludarnos. y para la comida fabulosa!

We recently visited Willington Hall to dine in its period Gainsborugh Restaurant, after being recommended by my sister. I have to say that it not only lived upto be surpassed all of our expectations!

Sunday lunch is great at Willington Hall. So when my relatives came to stay from Florida we thought they would love the character and charm of the old building, and they did.
