The Gallery Restaurant in Rushmoor

This was my first ever menu tasting and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Our waiter was Josh who was a bit nervous to begin with as it was his first time waiting at table but soon began to relax and did an excellent job. The food was exceptional and was a very enjoyable evening.

Quite the regular customer now and visit every menu change. Our waiter tonight was the very marvellous Josh who done exceedingly well,attention,polite and courteous. Fabulous, fabulous meal again. 5*

Excellent dinner last night. Our server, Harvey, was polite, attentive and professional throughout. Indeed, all the students are. They bring a nervous excitement to proceedings, which enhances the whole experience for the diners. Seeing and hearing their enthusiasm is infectious. Well done and thank you to everyone, front and back of house. We will be back.

We had a fabulous taster menu meal and the service was excellent. Our server Ollie was superb and all the staff were as well. Would recommend the restaurant to everyone and the attention to detail is second to none. Also my Wife Debbie is a Coeliac and they catered really well for her and told us what we were eating.

Absolutely outstanding gala dinner tonight. 7 courses of the most fantastic food. Couldn’t fault a single thing, amazing service, lovely atmosphere, great students and fabulous staff. Matches any of the best fine dining restaurants.

Lovely food - really enjoyed the pork belly course and the pudding. Also such good value. Wine list is excellent value, most bottles are around the £17 mark and £5 cocktails.

Another fabulous dinner at the Galleries and to us,the best menu yet! and the dessert was especially gorgeous. Our waiter,Charlie was also very attentive and courteous. Thanks again all.

Delicious food, stunning presentation excellent service from Ellis and his colleagues, at an amazing price, thank you.

What an absolute pleasure to have lunch here . Logan who waited on our table was attentive and very eager to please us . Calm , methodical and precise with a warm manner he clearly wanted our experience to be the best . The food was excellent , presented beautifully and the environment warm and welcoming . Hats off to these students who put many other places I’ve eaten in to shame. I would not hesitate to recommend the gallery to others.

Warm welcome on arrival. The 5 course taster menu was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Very good value for money. Service good and attentive. It's hard to believe that they are only learning their trade! Well worth a visit.

What an amazing experience. These students are obviously taught every aspect of hospitality to an exceptionally high standard as confidence shines from them all. From the moment we were welcomed we were looked after impeccably and greeted with smiles. The Valentine meal was super tasty, well presented and delivered with care and attention to detail. A special shout out goes to John, our food waiter and Elliot, the barman who will, no doubt, blossom in their future careers. Can't wait for another visit. Five HUGE stars!!!

Arrived for the Valentine Meal. The food was wonderful and very tasty. The Student looking after us was JOHN, who was very professional, as was ELLIOT the Student who served our drinks. It was hard to believe that we were not in a top class restaurant in town and these youngsters are still in their early days of Hospitality. Well done to all of them. 5 star Rating definitely

We booked our first meal at The Gallery restaurant for a party of 6 and were blown away with the high standard of service we received. The food was delicious and a sight to behold, with lots of attention to detail. We were served by John who was professional, polite and super attentive. Overall, an amazing evening out in a warm and welcoming ambiance - we'll definitely be back!

Great well presented food worthy of a top restaurant at bargain prices, all made by the college students under the watch of the experienced chef/tutor. What is not to like!

This was great for a light lunch with a difference , the students are all very attentive and the food was delicious. The organiser is very helpful and manage d to get us a table at short notice, which my friend and I appreciated. Easy parking also.

Went to enjoy a Burns Night seven course meal. And enjoy it we all did. The young students are very keen and it shows in their attention to detail, both with the food presentation and table display. Food was excellent as usual(this is about our sixth meal there) and we will certainly go there again.

We went for the first time today and it certainly won’t be our last. We were surprised by the beautiful quality of the food, the attentive waiters and waitresses and a lovely chat with the MD. The dessert made by the pastry group was excellent. And with our coffee and mini carrot cake but was served. Such a lovely touch. We can’t wait to come back.

It's 5 starrs from me. The food was expertly prepared and the service was professional. These students straight out of school are doing an excellent job. I wish them all well in their chosen career path. Our server Olly was very very good

Excellent value for 4 course Xmas Lunch special. Plenty of Friendly student staff. Excellent wine

Had a wonderful evening last night, the food was to such a high standard we were all blown away that it was prepared and cooked by students. We had 2 lovely young men looking after us .. Daniel and Joe they were both highly professional, they were very personable and attentive and I have no doubt they will both be a great credit to the hospitality business. The whole evening was a reflection on what a great college FCT is.

Have been visiting The Gallery for several years and this is definitely the best Christmas meal we have had there. Just lovely.

This is an extraordinary restaurant run by the students (with staff) of the the 6th Form College. The 4 course Christmas meal plus mulled wine, coffee and homemade roll and chocolates was as delicious, and as well presented, and served as in a top restaurant.

We had a fantastic lunch with friends here. The staff are great, right from the moment you are greeted on arrival, and throughout the meal - we were particularly well looked after by our server Charlie who did a really good job. The food is excellent; high quality presentation and some great twists on some classics. We have already booked another visit.

Amazing! I almost don't want to spoil a local secret. Food all prepared, cooked and served by students to their utmost best, very impressive for students almost straight out of school. The bar staff prepared cocktails to a standard as good as a well known local airport hotel! The overall attention to detail would put many restaurants to shame. The taster menu is excellent. Well done to all!

My first visit and thoroughly enjoyed it

Very lovely evening with delicious and great service. Credit to the teachers as well!

Had lovely meal this evening. This was our first time here and we came because my son is due to start the catering course I September and he wanted to get a feel for what to expect and he says it has confirmed he is excited to start the course. The food was amazing and the students did a fantastic job. The service was very quick and efficient. My daughter of 12 tasted things she would never dream of at home and said her favourite dish was the fish,which surprised us all. We very much look forward to dining here again.

A St Patrick day themed dinner, excellent food, presentation and service. Our server, Abigail, was a delight and very informative and knowledgeable about all of the courses. The young students preparing, cooking and serving are the next generation of master chefs. I cannot praise the experience highly enough.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening at the gallery restaurant. Each of the six courses were really enjoyable with great attention to detail. Our server Abigail looked after us very well. She explained each of the dishes and was attentive throughout the evening. We were also able to experience the Mixology skills of the students with a couple of cheeky cocktails. All in all a superb value evening with wonderful service, fantastic food and a great ambience. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The college really is doing a fantastic job with the students.

I treated a friend to a 70th birthday lunch. Was very pleased. Easy to book online. Disabled parking near the entrance a big bonus. Our student was new, yet got us seated, spoke clearly, explained. Another took the drinks order - fully stocked bar. We asked for teas which caused some smiles. Students from reception desk to all functions. Smartly dressed, polite and full of smiles. You can see the kitchens through a screen, which is a nice experience. Food a formal 3 course lunch and it was fabulous. My Madieran friend thought it was some of the best she had tasted. I am very grateful for the birthday banner and the stars they placed on the table. She does not eat out much and for her 70th felt she had been really spoilt here. What a super outing. Well done to all the students. We wish you the best of luck with your courses and training. Highly recommended. We have subsequently heard from friends that we must try the Thursday night as that is just as good and a great experience too.

Once again friends and I enjoyed good food at The Gallery. I had a lovely creamy onion soup, pork cheek and pork belly with black pudding, carrot purée, apple, kale and jus. The dessert was a cake with fresh fruit. My friends had similarly lovely meals and with wine and coffee the price is still amazing. The service is always great. Well done Farnborough College!

The restaurant and tables were beautifully decorated for the themed event. There were clever touches of tartan on the tables. It was a great start with a warm welcome and complimentary drink as we arrived. Every single course was superb, beautifully arranged to tempt you and delivered on its promise. The piper who entertained and piped in the haggis was great. The waiters were attentive and professional - it was a busy evening taking care of a full restaurant and a 7 course menu & they did it all well and with a smile.

My wife and l hadn’t been here for 10 years due to the opening times clashing with work, but as now both retired we are more flexible!! Fantastic value, service and quality good cooked, presented and served by the chefs and front of house restauranteurs of the future. We intend to go an awful lot more Thank you

First rate food excellently presented at a fraction of the price you would pay in a high class restaurant and the meals would not be out of place. Inventive menu but extremely well executed.

It was my first time in The Gallery Restaurant and I was very impressed. I had a set menu which looked amazing and was very tasty. We could watch our food being prepared on a large screen. Our waiter Harry was very nice and we enjoyed his measured humour. He was in his first year. What a great start to his career 👏. I'm looking forward to my next time. Thank you for making my birthday treat special.

Me and my friend came for Christmas lunch, it was really nice. The food and the service, we are going back in Jan too.

Just returned from The Gallery's Xmas lunch. It cost us £26 each. We didn't expect such a small portion for the main Turkey course. It was Turkey Wellington & was sliced very thinly. In fact, I thought the turkey was sliced egg initially! Very disappointing. Still hungry. We could have gone to a decent pub & had 2 substantial courses for £16 & felt full.

Had a wonderful lunch in the Gallery restaurant Prepared cooked and served by students The food was amazing The students were lovely couldn’t have done more for you

Went for a Christmas meal. Food very good, as was the drink. Service was excellent. This is in the Farnborough Technical College and the food is prepared cooked and served by the students. There were far more staff there than you would expect in a...

Myself and my mum visited for lunch knowing that it is a training restaurant. We were both blown away with the food. The young lad "Nicholas"who was our waiter was engaging and very sweet. Was so good I am going back at Christmas time.

The food was perfect. It Looked and tasted perfect. The price was even better. Really really go and try it. You do have to book in advance.

Well, where can you find such quality at such a price? I am a frequent diner at L’Ortolan in Reading and I can assure you the food at the Gallery Restaurant tonight was as good as the aforementioned……when you realise these young people , ( let’s be honest here, most of them are probably under 19yrs old) it is quite humbling …..they are professional, engaging, very good at what they do and are a credit to themselves. Thank you for a truly lovely evening to both the students and their lecturers. PS…..the ‘dry’ non alcoholic mead I purchased, I tried as soon as I came home and I thought it was gorgeous!!

I am cursing myself for not taking photos of my evening at the Gallery Restaurant, but, honestly the food here was comparable to that found at L’Ortolan in Reading. Thoroughly enjoyable evening with a good friend, the food was fantastic and it’s incredible to believe...

We had the most incredible dining experience with the 1st year students waiting on us. The food was that of a first class restaurant, skillfully prepared and presented superbly. The class Tutor clearly supervises the students particularly well. The evening was a real pleasure.

Amazing food the students are very well trained . Cooked and presented to such a high standard. Can’t wait to come back again

We visited the Gallery restaurant for a Thursday evening tasting menu. We only stumbled across the ability to do this whilst looking for places to eat in Farnborough. Turns out the Gallery is the best reviewed place in Farnborough! The students were attentive, caring and...

Wonderful 6 course Christmas meal tonight 7/12/21. Our waiter for table 8 was superb,knowledgeable polite and certainly has the potential to be a very competent waiter. The food I would have paid double the amount we paid and will definitely return. 10/10

Very good, the students prepare excellent food, presented and served professionally. They will be a credit to their employers, as they are to the college

What a fantastic restaurant! Absolutely amazing food cooked by chefs of the future and served by enthusiastic food and beverage students. First class from the Amuse Bouche through to the Petit Fours. Abigail our server is clearly loving her course and the amazing opportunities Farnborough...

Went for lunch today. Fabulous meal and terrific service! Special thanks to Sam our waiter and Mrs Grace the wonderful hostess/ tutor. Can't wait to return 🙂

Only their second day of service, and I totally forgot they are students! Fantastic customer service, even offering to take a photo so I could be in it! The food was amazing, and I would definitely recommend it.

A great lunch. Had no idea that this was tucked away in the college. Excellent value. Great food and service. I would recommend it and hope to visit again for an evening meal. Only suggestion is to present more information on the role of the...

This is a training restaurant hence the cheap prices. However, I've never had anything other than a fantastic meal. The students try very hard and there is a manager if there were any problems. Incredible value for money

First visit to the restaurant today. Thoroughly enjoyed the food that was served, beautifully presented and all tasted delicious. We were served by Ben F who made a great job of looking after our service confident, cheerful and helpful. Great drinks selection very reasonably priced.

I was very impressed with the high level of service by the young staff and their attention to detail was of a high standard. The food was delicious, it was my first time trying venison and I absolutely loved it! The restaurant was decorated with...

We visited The Gallery Restaurant on St David's Day for dinner. The restaurant was decorated beautifully with daffodils and even the napkins were in the shape of a daffodil - very clever. We didn't know what to expect as it was our first visit there, but were made welcome from start to finish. The food was excellent and we enjoyed every aspect of our 8 course taster menu. We were impressed to find that the restaurant had a bar serving many types of wines and spirits. We would highly recommend the restaurant and will certainly be returning. Many thanks to all who made our evening memorable. You're doing a grand job.
