The Glasshouse @ The Grove in Three Rivers

Food was good if you didn’t have dietary restrictions but for vegetarian and vegans there were incredibly few options.

Unfortunately the food was mediocre and constantly almost cold or lukewarm. Definitely not the same experience we had last Christmas. Staff nowhere near as attentive and friendly as last year either.

I have visited the Glasshouse Bar today for a drink and a toasted sandwich. The atmosphere was excellent as was the food. However what makes the experience special is the service. Ivett, Alliyah, Ryan and Cian were so attentive and professional. It is the staff which really makes a visit special and The Grove have a superb team in the Glasshouse Bar. Thank you all

Not many places that would receive a full 5-star classification and recommendation but The Glasshouse goes above and beyond the 5-star classification. The quality, the presentation and above all the staff are impeccable. The management, the culinary chefs and the service staff deserve a recognition to the success of The Glasshouse team. Kudos to the The Glasshouse team and keep up the great work 👍

My husband booked The Glasshouse for my birthday dinner and it was an incredible and memorable meal. The food was very delicious with lots of variety, and our waitress Eva was so helpful, friendly and kind. Highly recommend!

Really nice food and great service from Aga . Recommend the roast and the pasta ( even if it was a big portion ) . The deserts were the perfect size . Highly recommend checking it out .

We went for an Xmas lunch treat with one other couple. The service, from Eva, was superb. She is friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was very good.

Loved it very much, and the desserts make me happy and tastes good！

Great meal in the glasshouse Sunday evening, the restaurant had a Great atmosphere. The waiter, the folding up the napkins in different ways was excellent.

Very nice buffet dinner and very friendly, helpful staffs! Would be great if they do Beef Wellington in weekday dinner at least but the vegetarian version was really nice as well.

Attended dinner service tonight for my husbands 31st birthday. The 2.5hr drive each way was worth it! Staff were great, but a special mention to our server Annie who was more than I could have hoped for. She was extremely attentive, friendly and genuinely seemed like she enjoyed serving us. She even got my husband a small birthday cake without me even mentioning it. Atmosphere was great, loved the jazz music and the food was delicious. The drinks were OK, but the cocktails were medicore given the price so I'd avoid those next time, but overall a fabulous evening and we can't wait to come back.

Food is good with a wide range of options; a little bit pricey. I personally find the seating cramped, and the food area, but a good enough experience all around.

Fantastic food and service. Will be returning for sure!

My friend and I really enjoyed our lunch, so much so that we've decided to make it our annual xmas get together.The service was particularly excellent, and a special message goes to Edyta, who was attentive without being intrusive. Thank you so much.

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

"The service was exemplary: friendly, knowledgeable staff went above and beyond to ensure our experience was outstanding. The food was fresh and the highest quality with creative and innovative recipes presented by enthusiastic and efficient

lovely environment attentive service reasonable price plenty of choice of food , especially dessert

80th Birthday celebration lunch for seven Have been to the Glasshouse before on a few occasions but not recently, so wondered if the past excellent standards would be the same . . Well, it was BETTER! Incredible service. From greeting on arrival, to reception, then the restaurant. Our server was AMY. Attentive from the start and kept a watchful eye on us to meet our needs. EDYTA , with her cheerful sense of humour, took our wine order The food, well hard to know where to start. What did we chose? Well everything! The choice is massive and small portions of a little of what you like just when you like means you can try lots of different delicious flavours without getting over full One of our party is a chef. He was well impressed. We all were. There is simply no place like this restaurant near its  location and though not cheap, good value Here you get what you pay for and it makes menus boring and redundant when you have an entire kitchen of chefs and dishes all in front of you And they even sang Happy Birthday and gave me a cake with candles Nice touch . . Wow . .

From the moment we walked in to the time we left everything was amazing. The quality of the food was outstanding, as was the service. I think the weakest part of the meal, although still nice, was dessert. But that's just my personal preference. I would say the Red Velvet cooked were WOW! The Beef Wellington was probably the best I'd ever had. I will be going back

What a wonderful place this is!! Everyone from the door man to the servers and the chefs were amazingly friendly and helpful. The food was stunning, the best we've ever had. We'd like to articularly praise Levi and Jacek. They seemed to lake it as though we were the only people they had to deal with and we had some lovely chats with acek, he even sung happy birthday to my husband! Looking forward to coming back, it's now our favourite restaurant even though we live in Kent!"

It's a nice luxury night out. Customer service was 1st rate. Worth the money. Special shout out to Jacek who made the night excellent. Thank you

Much improved from our last visit some years ago. A fantastic range of quality food, a lot of it cooked to order, backed up with fantastic service. Thoughtful, friendly and efficient staff with nothing being too much trouble. The Glasshouse is not cheap and the large open restaurant space can get noisy, but on the basis of our visit we would return for that special occasion. Of particular note was our server, Edyta, who was simply the best!

We had the best experience. The staff serving us Jacek and Levi were outstanding! Their attention to detail and their care of us was first class. The interaction with our son was so lovely and even took his meal off the bill. The food was superb! The seafood was our fav but the chef on the steaks was amazing too.

Great food, fantastic staff and a buzzing atmosphere. Yes it is pricey but yes it is also worth it for the whole experience.and j want to say a special thank you to Maria Vittoria, she really looked after us and was exceptional, a credit to the Glasshouse. We will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

The Glasshouse was lovely and the waiting staff made it an incredible experience. Jacek and Levi were both incredibly brilliant and made our experience fantastic. They were a great team and made sure the children were happy and the adults had all that they needed. The food was lovely, would highly recommend the steak that's cooked fresh infront of you - the person cooking the steak was also amazing (I don't recall his name - but he's one of Levis good friends!). Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Thank you to Charlie for looking after us. We came to celebrate my partners meal and it was our first time in your restaurant after seeing it on Netflix. Charlie was very chirpy and he is such a character. Amazing service! Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

The overall experience was lovely. This was our first time here and the atmosphere and food was top notch. There are multiple food stations, covering majority of the main international cuisines, from cold food to hot food, including cheese and dried meat sections. Everything is fresh and made/cooked in front of you, including the Sushi, Steaks & Pasta. They also employ an expert chef for each regional section by the looks of it. The dessert section is out of this world. Everything is homemade and you can tell it is high quality due to the flavour and attention to detail. Even the marshmallows are fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive, always checking in if we have everything. Only little feedback i’d have, is the drink menu. The wine list is great, along with the spirit list however it was missing good choices of cocktails on the restaurant drinks menu. Not sure if there was another menu? Also - We paid £82pp (higher price over the £68) but there was no Wellington or Lobster but that’s not a deal breaker. I think you really do get the quality and food for the price. Recommended and will be going back again!

Whilst there isn't an abundance of choice, there is still good options, including desert. The service is 10/10 with excellent vibes.

5th time at The Glasshouse. It's my wife's favourite restaurant and a birthday treat every year in October. Looking forward to next year already.

We were there yesterday (Monday). The service is good. The food...It's a buffet and just average. Definitely not for food lovers. The price is far too high for the quality offered.

My partner and I visited for our anniversary and were stunned at how beautiful everything was. I have allergies and the servers were amazing, we spoke to the head chef who walked me around every station and pointed out what I couldn’t eat, which was very little, and we came away very full and satisfied. Most certainly be recommending to anyone who will listen. Thank you for everything.

2nd time round and to be only disappointed for the UK's most expensive buffet NOT to have the Beef Wellington! However, Service, ambience is great. The only highlight to be honest was the dessert station, the rest was just plain - Didn't wow compared to Vegas buffets (only comparing the price here)..

The food quality is no question very good I wouldn’t say excellent but it is very good. The presentation of the sushi, and fish section looks great but I don’t like cold fish so I didn’t try anything from here. The main food stations consist of Indian, pasta/Italian, roast and a mixed possible bbq fusion type station. Overall there is enough to eat but I think it’s limited variety and could be so much better. The Italian station - would of been nice to see some stone baked pizza variety, or fresh burratta, bruchesctta or something. Indian station disappointed me the most. Where is the chicken tikka or biryani or chaat, no authentic samosa or pakora. The chicken korma sauce was tasty but I found the shredded chicken in the sauce very off putting. You get a better meal at M & S! Roast station I was hoping to see beef wellington or a juicy roast beef joint but I had very dry turkey. Lamb looked tasty but I dont eat lamb, the potatoes weren’t very crispy or tasted very fresh side vegetables were ok. Was hoping to see items like steak cuts, or quality burger or something authentic station like Mexican, tapas or something else. The seating area is ok, not very clean quite badly stained seats, it can get very loud. The buffet area is relatively small so it can get a bit crammed but you will have enough time to eat perhaps it’s because there’s not a massive selection. Plates not the cleanest I also found the servers at each buffet station so unfriendly and un polite. If you asked a question it was an abrupt ‘no’ or yes. There is also a desert section which again is ok. I think it should include basic tea and coffee. You won’t leave hungry but you may leave feeling that something was missing. There was T anything that I thought ‘oh wow this is amazing’ it was simply ok. For approx £200 for two people you have to ask yourself is it worth it? Or would you be better off going to a al a carte fine dining restaurant. Also for a self service buffet I’m not sure how a service charge added to your bill is justified I think this should be optional. Venue is very pleasant parking is very difficult with not the best helpful parking staff outside. Staff on the inside not the most at tentative so if you’re not sure where to go good luck trying to find someone. The grounds are pleasant enough to stroll around. Toilets are really small and does not cater for volume of people visiting. Staff were very welcoming for us once we were seated. This review may come across fussy but your paying for was at is supposedly high end cuisine. It’s got to be better than this.

The service and ambience was impeccable..the food for it being a buffet was very good and fresh.

As I had specified that it was an 18th birthday celebration, they brought a mini piece of cake with a candle and glasses of prosecco. This was unexpected, and a lovely gesture!

Beautiful food coupled with Vera’s attentive yet relaxed and friendly service meant we had a very lovely leisurely Sunday lunch. The wine was delicious and the cheese course needs a special mention. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday.

A really lovely buffet. An extravagant selection of different starters, mains and desserts. Everything was cooked to perfection, tasted delicious and all within a beautiful setting.

Amazing buffet style meal with excellent service. Live pasta cooking station was a highlight

It is a quite a diverse buffetWhat sets this one apart is that none of the dishes are 'buffet quality' You can tell that while it is all you can eat all the dishes have been made with lots of care and effort. I wouldn't be surprised to be served these dishes in a fine dining restaurantFantastic service as well

Service was perfect. Food was incredible. Everything was just spot on. 100% returning soon.

We loved the glasshouse. Food was excellent. Staff were brilliant. We have already made several recommendations to friends and family. I will be back !

An excellent opportunity to enjoy life for our anniversary breakfast. A special mention to Aga and Charlie. 2 very skilled and amazing server's. Can't wait to come back again.

Aya at the Glasshouse was amazing. She remembered us from our last visit and was super helpful and attentive. She made the experience wonderful. Our favourite spot for a celebratory meal!

Saw the Netflix series Million Dollar Buffet so booked to celebrate 2 birthdays (son and myself) Enquired if the Thursday dinner would feature the beef wellington as on tv. We were told there should be. Nevertheless we wanted a confirmation, called again and was told they would call us back to reconfirm but never did. On the day we were very disappointed as was told beef wellington would only be for Saturday To add to the disappointment, the food selection was so badly presented as per photos. We were the early for 630pm so it wasn't due to guests messing them up. After we paid for the dinner and as we were leaving, 2 small pieces of cake with a candle was brought out. We didn't finished them as they tasted stale and felt like it was taken from the previous buffet. Dinner came to £315 Now new head chef offered us a discount to come back for another dinner Would you spend another £200 after the initial £315 ???

Had a great family buffet today.... Great food, above all great service by Aga the waitress...she looked after us extremely well and catered all our needs beautifully...will ask for her to attend to us when we go best time.

I've seen reviews about how expensive is the Glasshouse but clearly who said that is because can't recognise the quality after the quantity. Food here taste like food because their suppliers are the best you can find and chefs too. But honestly I'm not here to speak the obvious. I am leaving this review for Charlie the waiter. I've been observing him all night and, as hospitality operator myself, I found him absolutely amazing. He's not a waiter but a performer of one of the most iconic roles in high class restaurant. Is not about his smile and his positive vibes ; is about his moves very accurate and elegant. He looks after his tables, never stressed and he never stop smiling ( not even when you are not at the table and he shapes your napkin ). Charlie if you're are reading this message please don't give up, continue your personal development because you have a bright future in this industry. I hope management is already aware of his potential.

What a waste of money- so expensive the buffet was OK, nothing specular- just ok Drinks were so expensive - even a jug of water was£6.50 Will not be back here again

the plant based burger was delicious!! highly recommend the cocktails

Truly crazy variety of the buffet, both at breakfast and lunch. Very good overall quality, perhaps you just need to pay a little attention to the crudités because a raw prawn didn't really have a great color. Attentive and courteous staff

Fantastic food and service. One of the waitresses even took our four year old up to the dessert station as we finished our meals. Above and beyond. So refreshing to come to a restaurant where children aren’t treated as an inconvenience. Thank you for a lovely day!

An absolute amazing place to visit for highly quality food. The set out and selection of different food is something else! Everything is made to such a high quality and standard, everything that we ate was delicious. They cater very well to people with allergies, all the labels make it easy to understand what is contained in what. Further to that, the chefs are available to ask questions about each item of food, we were given guidance by one of the lead chefs to confirm what we could or could not eat. I highly recommend visiting here as the food and service is outstanding.

This was our 4th time at The Glasshouse the food was fantastic and the service and staff were impeccable.

The ambiance is sophisticated yet inviting, with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide stunning views of the surrounding gardens. The menu is seasonal, showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared with precision and creativity. Highlights include expertly cooked meats, vibrant vegetable dishes, and indulgent desserts. The buffet-style service allows diners to explore a variety of flavors and textures, all presented with meticulous attention to detail. Service is attentive and professional, enhancing the overall experience. Whether for a special occasion or a leisurely meal, The Glasshouse delivers a refined yet relaxed dining experience in a beautiful setting. Perfect for those seeking quality cuisine in a serene, countryside location.

Amazing place with amazing staff. They have variety of options and cuisines though the food quality isn’t the best comparing to fine-dine restaurants.

Great all round experience, the service was brilliant and very attentive. We will be back for sure.

Choice and quality of food was excellent! Better than we even remember. The beef was cooked to perfection. Our waiter was attentive, professional and charming. The mini birthday dessert was a lovely touch . Thankyou for a beautiful evening.

Buffet style restaurant, all very tasty food! £65 per person for dinner, not including drinks. The Indian and the live pasta station was my favourite

Probably the best Buffet for the price of £65 pp. (£85 weekends). The food selection was great. The quality of the food was excellent. “This does not include drinks” At the relatively high price, the restaurant was very busy for a Monday evening. They have a variety of live 'cooking stations’ From roasts to pasta to Indian and Chinese. Was exceptional as was the starter section. Can’t forget the puddings the only problem is that your so full “but you can always make room for pudding” Being a self-service Buffet you just keep going back for food until you have had enough. Staff were very attentive at clearing plates and bringing whatever you needed. The atmosphere was very much fine dining and the grounds around the Grove Hotel were beautiful. If someone in your group was vegan she/he would be delighted with the food choice. Highly recommended.

4.4? It's overrated. The main dishes were reasonably priced and satisfactory. Personally, the seafood was TERRIBLE, but the desserts were excellent. The atmosphere was as noisy as a marketplace, with lots of people moving around, making it feel like an airport lounge. The cheapest wine from the sparkling menu, Thomson & Scott Prosecco, was over 50 pounds, but that's the same in other restaurants, so it was fine. The staff service was mechanically polite, but even that became neglected as the hall got busier. Our wine glasses were often empty, and when we eventually asked to have the wine bottle left on the table, the staff put it down as if throwing it. They gave us a cute birthday cake to celebrate a birthday, but we were already full, and since there was already a dessert section, it wasn't appealing at all. I don't think I would visit again.

Simply the best buffet you'll ever visit. Quite enjoyed my lunch of lobster, caviar, prawns and freshly-prepared steak. The steak was so tender that even a standard knife went through it in a single slice. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. They always cleared plates quickly and brought fresh cutlery. It is quite pricey at over £80 per head. Our bill was £330 for 3 people at lunch time (including 1 or 2 drinks each and 12.5% service charge). Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

Atmosphere, staff and food was lovely. Only (slight) letdown was dessert station - compared to the very high standards of everything else, we were a little disappointed by desserts. A lot of vegan chocolate puddings, which is a nice option but we didn't see any "normal" ones. Still nice but nothing standout in our view.Otherwise, brilliant experience and the staff are a credit to the business as they are all so polite, attentive, and friendly too.

Overall, our visit to "The Glasshouse" in "The Grove" was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of delicious food, outstanding service, and a lovely ambience made for an unforgettable dining experience. We look forward to returning and will definitely recommend your restaurant to friends and family.Thank you for providing such a high standard of hospitality. Keep up the fantastic work!

Lovely experience, Lovely staff and the manager Presley was so wonderful and welcoming

Amazing place for celebrations. Great food, lovely and helpful staff!

The range is vast and the quality is amazing! This would make for an amazing all inclusive package. My friends and I had a blast and would most likely return and recommend!

The place is really good. Good afternoon, tea. u can enjoy and chat The garden is beautiful I will recommend it if you want to enjoy the atmosphere vibes then this place is good an green

This was for my mum's 91st Birthday, I'm must say the service from Jacek S was exceptional and he could not do enough. I would highly recommend a visit. Once again a massive thank you to Jacek for making this day so special.

Absolutely wonderful time. The staff were very attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. The quality of the food was excellent. So much choice. I will definitely go back and I would recommend thus beautiful resturant.

Thank you for making it special for our long standing member of staff who has been with the company 15 years. I have been many a time, but each time there is something new on the menu OR another feature in the grounds

First time at the Glasshouse for me, and I enjoyed it immensely. It was my partners birthday and her treat. She has been before, for tea with her mother and dined in the other restaurant. I want to come again and stay too.Thank you.

Probably the best Buffet in London for the price of £65 pp. (£85 weekends). The food selection was good. The quality of the food was excellent. At the relatively high price, the restaurant was very busy for a Thursday evening. So no shortage of customers. They have a variety of live 'cooking stations' I particularly enjoyed the hand-prepared spaghetti bolognese. The roast beef was exceptional as was the smoked salmon. Being a self-service Buffet you just keep going back for food until you have had enough. Staff were very attentive at clearing plates and bringing whatever you needed. The ambiance was very much fine dining and the grounds around the Grove Hotel were beautiful. A very pleasant evening was had by all in my party. My only observation was not all the plates were as clean as they should have been and the choice of desserts was a little disappointing. One of our party was vegan and he was delighted with the food choice. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing experience, food and staff were wonderful. Genuinely some of the besg food we have ever had! Only comment to make would be quite a lot of young children running around, would be better if there was a no under 10’s policy!

Went today for my fiancée's birthday after seeing the restaurant online. The service and food were impeccable. A special mention needs to go to our Server Jonathan who was extremely attentive without being intrusive.

One of the best meals I have had in a while, the food itself was excellent as you would expect but the customer service was next level. Not many places manage that perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering and all the staff seemed genuinely engaging and happy to be there.

This is my second visit to The Groove Glasshouse. The food quality was great as same as first visit, the variety of dishes are amazing, the atmosphere was great too.. What make it so special this time was Miss. Mariavittoria who was very attentive and made us very happy when she brought the cakes 🍰 of birthday. Will definitely come again & again and will also recommend for others to come and try the experience. Thanks again to Mariavittoria who made our day🙏

We were seated straightaway. We were advised of how it worked and where certain stations were. The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful. We had freshly cooked pasta which was perfectly cooked. The staff were attentive but no overbearingly so. It was a nice touch that went we left the table to get something else our plates were removed and new cutlery placed and our napkins folded. It was an experience we would not forget as Fathers day dinners go. The only let down of our visit were the cleanliness of the toilets in the reception area which is no fault of the glasshouse. Would certainly recommend a visit.

Top quality food with a huge choice. Love it

My husband and I enjoyed a superb first visit to the Glasshouse to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The waiting staff who looked after us were excellent - friendly and attentive. The buffet (although a lot more compact than I expected) provided excellent quality food, which included sushi, carvery, Asian food and pizza/pasta. The dessert statio in particular was spectacular. As a vegetarian, I do, however, feel that the buffet would benefit from a greater range of vegetarian options and for the labels to be written more clearly so it's easier to see at a glance which the veggie/vegan options are. The decor and surroundings are beautiful and we enjoyed a walk around the grounds after our lunch.

We were staying for the weekend at The Grove Hotel. Breakfast was delightful, great range of food and drink and plenty for vegetarians! The resturant was very busy so we were happy that we had arrived early to get our large group a table. Mid-morning there was a large queue to enter and it was like a market by the omelette stations! The chefs and waiting staff were extremely friendly and happy to accommodate most request.

We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday, starting the day with breakfast! What a fabulous buffet - from the moment we were welcomed in. Edyta served us so graciously, with a professional and friendly attitude, her colleague Aga added to the attentive but not intrusive service. Going back to the buffet several times, the chefs always smiling and welcoming - eggs royale and pancakes a highlight. Thank you to you all for making it such a great time.

Hair caught on fire by negligently-left candle!! Staff were great though. Was looking forward to this place to celebrate my birthday, after seeing it on Netflix’s million pound buffet and watching reviews about it. I wanted to try a good few plates but the food was so disappointing, I struggled to put together one plate of palatable items. There was no beef wellington, the meats they did have lacked flavour. The Yorkshire puds, whilst they were homemade, were dry and tasted stale, like they had been left out all day. There were lots of flies surrounding the cheese and fruit station (put a cover over those bits?) The variety and selection was surprisingly limited, considering the price of £80pp. You’d think the Asian food section would have an array of dishes but no, just dhaal, a stir-fried beef dish and some tandoori chicken/paneer/potato, with plain white boiled rice and some limp, lifeless-looking naan. The texture of the sushi was slimy and the layout of the restaurant meant you had to awkwardly squeeze through people to get to the different stations, or to your seat. On top of that, somebody negligently left a lit candle by one of the food stations and my hair caught on fire! Gorge and the staff were so lovely and attentive, they did their best to still make our night a special one, I can’t fault them, but it did put a bit of a dampener on an already dampened evening. The place just stank of my burnt hair! Poor food + hair on fire = 1 star.

Extraordinary venue. Superb service Excellent creative chefs Delicious food with a massive selection Charging 12.5% for service is very very naughty I prefer to decide what the level of tip should be

Myself and my partner came here to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing and the food options unreal. All the food was good quality and there was a lovely range. Would definitely recommend. Would like to especially shout out Levi our waiter who was attentive throughout. We can’t wait to visit again.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. The food was excellent and the staff were so attentive. The grounds are also beautiful! £80 per person for the buffet is great value. I would highly recommend!

Lovely buffet, the choice was fantastic.

Exceptional food and service - worth every penny and more! We just wish we weren't over 400m away usually or we would be visiting regularly!

Delicious buffet, top quality, is worth every single penny. I enjoyed the great customer service and the lovely location. The staff are nice and friendly and truly professionals. Highly recommend 🌷🙏much love to everyone!

Lovely food, amazing venue but quite expensive... After service charge the buffet for 1 is £92, the cheapest glass of wine (medium glass) is £10 and a bottle of water is £7. It's definitely an experience and one that me and my partner very much enjoyed but we both said it's the sort of place you'd visit once to try but not again. We've eaten at many high end restaurants and honestly you can get a 5-10 course tasting menu at a 1+ star michelin restaurant for the same sort of money and we would chose the michelin everytime as the food is just that bit better with more thought behind every dish. That being said the food is way above average and the glasshouse is definitely something to try at least once in your life!

Impromptu dinner at The Glasshouse #buffet @thegrovehotel in #watford From the pictures I expected it to be bigger (I had Vegas buffet in my head). But with a good variety and great quality food we weren’t disappointed. Everything tasted like it was prepared recently and what I did manage to try was very good. The sashimi was super fresh and the roast lamb was melt in the mouth 🤤

Incredible food, enormous selection with a friendly atmosphere. Suitable for couples/families/large groups. 100% the best buffet food I've ever had

I normally don’t like going for buffet. This is one exception. This is the place where you will think that sometimes you should be allowed to rate more than 5* for all categories. Exceptional food, service and decor. Too long list of food to name here but roast lamb, beef, sushi, grilled and Indian were my favourite. It’s and experience that you must have. It may feel pricy but it’s worth every penny. What are you waiting for, make your next available reservation 😀😀

Incredible buffet lunch. My partner and I went to the grove on a Saturday for lunch. I was amazed with the array for food available at the buffet. - cheese counter - cold meat selection - roasted meats - roasted vegetables - curries - sushi - gyoza - grilled seafood and meats - pasta station - ramen station - desert counter, including ice cream, cakes and chocolate fountains. Was quite expensive at £82 per person, but the food was lovely and service was great.

Loved our experience at the glasshouse. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, highly recommended. Can't wait to get back. 👍

The overall atmosphere of the place is great. The service was okay. Asked for a drinks list but it never came so just had water. For the food quality and selection it's rather bland. Definitely not worth the money. You only really paying for the atmosphere which can be found at other alternative restaurants nearby. Good for tourists only really.

Great bar and service but sadly the food is a huge let down! Not much about this place screamed luxury to me apart from the decor and ambience. When we got there, we were told the table was not ready so we had to wait 15 minutes. When they advised us the table was ready, it was given to someone else and so they were looking around for another table (despite us booking in advance). It then took us another 5-10 minutes to find a waiter to get us drinks. The food was very average at best and not a lot of choice surprisingly. We came here as it’s local to us and we were looking to book this for my husbands 40th so we thought we would try it first before deciding. Glad we have decided against not booking now. I found a lot of the food to be bland which was the biggest disappointment. The only dish that was actually amazing was the creme brûlée hence the 2 stars. However overall, for the price, I expected much better. Safe to say, we won’t be visiting again.

Good service da best food i like it 😘😘😘😘😍😍😍

Took my dad here for his 60th Bday as a surprise, and he thoroughly loved it. If you're looking for a 5 star experience, then you've found it right here. They offer an Italian station, vegan, sushi , Scallops, Chimichura, and steak big fat grilled prawns , sides, and salads. All you can eat. It's an expensive day out although justifiable and uts only as I travelled from London in rush hour. You have the option of staying in the hotel and only paying £40 for the buffet. The staff are well mannered, presentable and attentive, my server Charlie was brilliant.

Good place and good service,we always go there!

Just outstanding. Took my mum to the glasshouse for a birthday treat and really couldn't have asked for more. The staff were wonderful and attentive. The food was amazing and the grounds and spaces to relax in were brilliant. Tremendous afternoon out.
