The Restaurant at Witney Lakes Resort in West Oxfordshire

I went for lunch with a friend and the setting was lovely but the service was terrible, the tables had not been cleaned and when I asked for it to be cleaned I was first handed a cloth then it was taken away and I was told it would be cleaned and nothing happened. The food was ok but the service was so bad I don’t think I would go back. They clearly did not want to be there at all. Maybe it was a one off but customer experience has definitely suffered a terrible fate there.

Good food. Very reasonable prices. Friendly staff with good service. Lovely spot beautiful lake abd golf course. Open to non members will visit again soon

Went for evening meal last night new menu had the half chicken outstanding all credit to the chef and service was great will be back

Had lunch with a coffee plus a 🍔 burger we had three with chips burgers was burnt not the nicest ones but the day before they was lovely Little upset as we came with friends very disappointed ☹️ clearly they should been placed in the bin and recooked some more If the kitchen staff think that’s best they are totally wrong would we do it again no

At a Parkinson UK meeting, arriving on time at 10.30 for 11am, we were met with a flask of stewed lukewarm coffee which could easily have been made at 6am. After lunch there was expectation of fresh coffee and hot water but that was a false hope. The coffee pot was now empty and the hot water lukewarm A request for gluten free alternative at lunch time was made in advance for one person. A platter of gluten free sandwiches was provided with enough for 3 persons. That meant that it was necessary for all to eat gluten free bread or go hungry when the normal sandwiches ran out. So the catering was unnecessarily dreadful for an otherwise acceptable conference facility and may prompt the organisers to think again in future

All enjoyed getting together and had a great time. Staff polite and very helpful but there the good bit ends. The food was ameuterish in its presentation and for the price very little, not all the choices chosen were present. We had to cut our own cake and take it around the guests. I didn't want to cause a scene so accepted the situation, however, I will be writing to the management team, just not enough care and attention to the little detsils, which in the end make all the difference.

I decided to spend my 20th birthday here with my mother and sister. We have been to many spas before but we decided to give this one a try as it was close to where we live. We booked our spa treatments which were rushed and the girl had long nails. After our treatments we wanted to access the pool which we have been informed teenagers are not allowed. After having our spa day spoiled we decided to give their restaurant a try only to find out it has been closed down despite being advertised as open from 12 pm on a Sunday. We didn't want this bad experience to ruin our day we went to another nearby spa instead. This place it is overpriced and apart from the gym there isn't much going on. Try Soho FarmHouse instead, they are very professionals and allow teenagers too.

We had customers visit for meetings and usually dine them before setting them iff on their return journey. Food and beverages served very quickly and with a friendly smile.

Had lunch at the Bistro (members only), not the main restaurant. Menu choice was good, prices are reasonable and good service. Nice when you can sit outside by the water's edge.

Can’t thank the team enough for a wonderful pregnancy spa day. From the moment I arrived and spoke to the lovely lady on reception, all staff I came across were so friendly & welcoming. The pool area is beautiful, water nice temperature and clean changing rooms. Both my treatments with Kelly were wonderful - I had a relaxing pregnancy massage and a pedicure. Kelly is so so sweet & was constantly making sure I was comfortable and relaxed. The whole day was every penny. The only thing I struggled with was getting on and off the pool beds as they are so close to the floor but I am 3 weeks from giving birth so most things are difficult and they’ll be fine to use if you’re not heavily pregnant!!

Still one of the best restaurants in the area. Hidden away in a spa and golf course. Wonderful views over the lake. A great looking restaurant with a good menu and prompt service.

Very Disappointing ! - as a member, my wife was sent an "Members Exclusive offer" to enjoy a meal for 2 (1 meal free) active from Mon 12th until Sunday 18th February. Imagine our utter disappointment when trying to enter (1st) The newly revamped Bistro - finding it LOCKED (Sat 17th April at 19:15) - unperturbed, we then tried the newly decorated upstairs Sports Bar (19:22) - this was empty, so after waiting 5 mins at the bar we attracted attention of the staff attending to a function in a nearby room. We were advised the bar is always closed at the weekend ! We showed our invitation of the offer - "they've made a mistake then !" We couldn't believe that a membership club would reject its own members & falsely advertise an offer that fails to exist ! The new management takeover doesn't seem to work - in that it doesn't proof-read its own offer before issue !

The restaurant has changed hands since our last visit. They are carrying out refurbishments during February and it is best to check their website for limited opening hours during February. This was an existing booking which they honoured, and they looked after us well. We ate from a fixed price menu - £17 for two courses and £22 for three courses at lunchtime (more expensive in the evening).

Booked a table for 7pm Wednesday only to be told they now only open a couple of night a week. Rebooked for 7pm Friday, Arrived and was seated at a clean well laid table in an empty restaurant. Waited about 20 minutes to have order taken, followed by over 45 min's for soup to arrive, soup was too spicy and inedible so they replaced it with a tomato soup which too was way too spicy. Waited another hour for mains to arrive. Duck and ribeye steak. Both cold, bland and of meagre portion,; I had 9 chips ! My wife asked for a glass of Martini and was offered a choice of Red, White or Dry. She ordered a white martini with an olive. The waiter came back, dumped a glass unceremoniously on the table and growled " That's Cinzano" and walked off !! Dessert arrived just after 9:45 pm and was actually very nice. Nice clean restaurant, poor staff, poor food and unjustifiably high prices.

I will firstly say this was the second year on the trot we came here for our company’s Christmas dinner, Dec 2016 really nice piping hot food, plenty of it and great service.. 12 months later OMG absolutely disgusting.. I had like a few of us the Prawn cocktail.. well it reminded me of a car being sick .. about 3 small shrimps and congealed lettuce not enough to fit on a soup spoon, main course I had the beef out it came and the roast potatoes and out after a few mins, they soon went back as the were cold to touch as did the masked parsnips.. cold to touch intact the whole of our tables veggies went back not just once but twice ! When the waitress cane round after the desert she asked how the meal was, a person on our table told her and she said ‘ if you think this is bad you should have been here last week it was worse than this ‘ After a poor meal we left the venue and went home only to be violently sick all night! And if you think I will ever go back there your absolutely mad !

We were having a Christmas party there last night. Quite simply the service and food was dreadful. Would not go again and will not recommend.

Went last night for a Christmas party night but no one told the management. Worst festive meal I have ever been served. We were a table of 9 and no one enjoyed the food and everyone thought we had been totally ripped off. Prawn cocktail consisting of a limp piece of lettuce with 8 tiny prawns and a sliver of lemon. Dry turkey raw vegetables parsnip mash with more lumps that mash and no gravy. Coffee on the table for ten minutes before milk and sugar arrived then had to ask 4 times for a tea. Not a teaspoon to be seen in the room so gave up used uncleared dessert cutlery. No Christmas decorations and black cloths and napkins lowered the atmosphere even more.(and a few black balloons that looked like they were leftover from a previous Event) The one star is for the singer who was good but even the music only had two Christmas songs through the whole evening. Finally of the two toilets one was out of order. For £34 per person we left feeling outraged and swearing never to set foot here again.

A group of us had a three course Christmas dinner here this week, and the food and service were excellent. We were upstairs, and therefore had the room to ourselves. There were plenty of staff, and each course was served promptly. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Witney.

Good parking. Welcoming reception area and staff. Food very mediocre. Condiments for main meal arrived when course was nearly finished. Some dining staff would benefit from training. Not impressed.

Took advantage of the Friday steak deal. Great piece of meat and cooked to perfection, however 8 chips seems a bit on the small side! Nice bottle ofwine included in the price and a decent choice. Also had starter of parsnip and apple soup which was very nice. Although not busy, the service was slow, although very professional. Would return.

Having enjoyed fabulous food for over 5 years at Witney Lakes we decided to book our Wedding Reception there and we have to say the food and service were superb. Our 40 guests all enjoyed their meals and were given an excellent menu choice. The professional planning of our day made it all flow seamlessly together with 120 evening guests also enjoying entertainment and a scrumptious buffet. Thank you to Lauren, Karen, Rob and all the kitchen and bar staff.

It may look pretty and swanky in the photograph, but this restaurant totally lacks atmosphere. It is staffed by untrained staff who not only do not know their drinks but do not even know what is in the two specials that they offer.

My husband and I decided to try the Witney Lakes restaurant instead of going to one of our usual pubs. It was a lovely evening so we sat outside for a pre-dinner drink. We perused the menu and chose our starters and mains.

We took advantage of their steak for two and a bottle of house wine on a Wednesday evening. This cost £36 for two. In addition we had a soufflé starter each and I had stilton sauce as an extra on my steak. Total cost £50 - not bad for a two course meal and a bottle of house wine. The soufflés were lovely and delicate to the taste, and the steaks were some of the best we had tasted for a long time. The wine was good too.

We've been to the Witney Lakes Resort on several occasions now and always been pleased with both the standard of service and the quality of the fare served in the restaurant. For this latest visit, we were in the company of a friend with limited movement and appetite. The waiting staff were both attentive and patient towards him which helped to make lunch a relaxed experience for all. The fish dishes were very tasty and there was a good choice of locally made ice creams available with the deserts menu. Including drinks, lunch worked out at £24 per head.

Another lovely lunch at Witney Lakes my special of mussel risotto with salmon was super and the panne cotta was delightful The staff were as always lovely but I was saddened not to see the delightful Pedro hopefully I will get to catch up with him later in June

Three of us ate here on a Saturday evening. Had expected a bit more of an atmosphere but there were only a few tables occupied. Took a little while for them to ask what we wanted to drink. The best thing about the meal was the amazing bread which was a bit like a cake sponge with salted crust. I had the lamb course but found it really salty. Creamed leeks were nice though. Belly pork went down well and a steak. Service was friendly but a bit slow, especially as it wasn't busy. We're members so we did get a 10% discount on food but I wouldn't go again for a Saturday night out, maybe in the week.

This was a meal with a pre-set menu for a large group, but it was a good meal staffed with plenty of waiting staff. We had a lamb main course, followed by profiteroles. In addition we had a brown bread roll to start, and tea or coffee plus mint to finish. Good value as always here, located in a very pleasant out of town setting.

The title says it all we have just had a fantastic meal the food was out of this world and the staff well you could not have asked for better. Will we be going back thats easy try and stop us.

Tbh I wasn't expecting it to be THIS good as I got a deal on Travelzoo for this restaurant - but WOW did it deliver!!Firstly the place is really well decorated and very serene... you feel totally relaxed and the staff never rush you and are very accommodating. We ordered a great bottle of Shiraz (South African) that was really smooth and blew us away at only £18. Two of us ordered the soup special (Thai sweet potato and carrot) and one ordered the Corn Beef Hash - all amazing and well presented and the accompanying fresh bread was delicious too. Then two of us had the steak and one of us had the Gnocchi (as she was vegetarian and I will say that was her only option as a veggie, which truly was my only disappointment about the place). The steaks were cooked perfectly and we were even given a little taster of the lamb to try with our starters that was amazing too.Come dessert we all had the pear tatin with ginger ice-cream and coffee - delicious.I really thought the standard of food was great and all locally sourced. Kudos to the chef (he's a keeper!!) - thoroughly enjoyed and hope to come back now to try a Sunday Roast!!

Came here for a work conference. On my way thought i was heading in the wrong direction because it kind of looks like your going to the middle of no where. Staff on reception and elsewhere were very helpful and looked approachable. The food was absolutely amazing if i could have had seconds i would have. Beautiful scenery inside and out. Want to come back obviously not for work reasons and experience the spa there and would definitely have to have their food again.

We visited here with my parents for Sunday lunch. We were seated at a table with a nice view of the lake and given the set menu, 4 choices for each course and I would have eaten everything on the menu, it was a good selection. The corned beef hash starter was mostly mashed potato but it had a perfectly poached egg on top and was nice enough. The roast beef main course was a little rare for all of our liking, and very fatty. I could have forgiven both of those for lovely flavour, but sadly it was lacking in any. Lots of roast potatoes (3 on the plate plus another dish served on the table), but only one small dish of roasted vegetables between the 4 of us. We'd have happily foregone extra spuds for veg!For dessert we had some fruit crumble which was absolutely delicious, not too sweet and served with perfect custard and lemon tart (apparently lovely).Value for money was great.

Attentive service from Pedro made our evening, he looked after us extremely well. The restaurant was not too busy but still had a nice friendly atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed and offered a drink and the menu. The choice of food was very good and it was a lovely meal, my husband chose the lamb while I had the fish, it was all fresh and a good selection of vegetables arrived. The decadent chocolate dessert is probably one to miss as it was too much for us! The tart tatie was lovely and freshly cooked. Prices are very reasonable and we would definitely visit again.

We visited the lakes for lunch. We had the 3 course set menu. We were very impressed and happy with all of the courses. The staff were friendly and attentive. Looking forward to our next visit.

More of a US style country club, the Witney Lakes Resort has an attractive restaurant with a good choice on the menu. However only three tables were occupied as we were there mid-week. The dinner was good and food well-presented. Probably best to be there on a Friday or Saturday night... NFJ

Visited this restaurant with some work colleagues recently for their two course set lunch at a cost of £15.A bright and airy restaurant with views over the golf course.Staff greeted us warmly, and were very professional throughout.As a starter I chose Cornish Crab Spring Rolls which came with a dip on a bed of lettuce. Delicious, but quite a small portion though.My main was Parma Ham wrapped Chicken Breast which came with a small pot of dauphinoise potatoes and a mushroom sauce and broccoli. Very enjoyable and a lovely lunch was enjoyed by all of us

What a disappointment! I was really looking forward to lunch with friends between Christmas and New Year in the restaurant at Witney Lakes. I've eaten in the Bistro before and the staff were delightful. So my expectation of the restaurant was that the hospitality would be even better and the whole experience more polished. The reality was that I actually felt that the staff were doing me a favour taking care of me and my friends.I had booked a table for 1pm, having been told that 12.30pm was not possible. We arrived at 12.45 and there was only a table of 3 golfers in the restaurant. I didn't ask why I had not been able to eat at 12.30pm. The Manager pointed at our table saying that it was by the window (whatever happened to meet and greet and a hospitable welcome?) The table was sparsely laid and the decor worn. The menu was limited but the food was good value for money. Where it really lacked was customer service. The ladies that served the table were incapable of answering basic menu related questions. I have no issue with that if the response had been 'I'm not sure but let me see what we can do'. Instead we had a few uncomfortable silences and rolling of eyes followed by negative responses. I should not have been surprised then when food was served with a call of 'soup?' 'Prawns?' I felt like putting my hand up and saying 'please sir'. Could they not have remembered or noted orders for a table of 5? The approach did change when the manager realised we weren't happy, but I would have appreciated a natural warmth from the start rather than patronisingly forced hospitality.Overall, not welcoming, lacking in style and basic customer service training. I have just moved to the area and am thinking of joining Witney Lakes. It would be so nice to have somewhere to bring friends on their visits. The restaurant is open to the public but don't seem to appreciate that customers have choices and there is plenty of competition in the area. Maybe they can afford not to care? That's what it felt like.

We had heard so much about how good the food was. Our experience may have been a one off, but ... There were only two other tables occupied, and three people serving! How good is that? Actually poor. The attention was lacking. The first course took 40 minutes to arrive, what could they have been doing? The fish was superb, but the batter was soggy. The music unnecessary and intrusive. However, the other dishes were very good, and the presentation excellent; the coffee was superb. Overall, it could have been so much better with a little more attention to customer satisfaction.

We came here with a party and had a one-course hot-pot dinner. It was served promptly and portions were generous with plenty of warming winter vegetables. The price was reasonable for what we had.

We visited Witney lakes resort restaurant after finding a Travelzoo voucher for a meal. One of the best meals myself and my partner have had in a long time, everything reasonably priced for the quality and the staff were attentive and engaging. Would thoroughly recommend and we will go back when visiting the area next

A fantastic meal at the restaurant, cooked to perfection. The service and quality of food second to none.

This was a meal with colleagues, as the restaurant was being used for a function we had arranged for a table to be set on the mezzanine in the bistro and we ate from the restaurant menu. It was great that they could be so flexible in providing this and the setting was lovely. Food was good, I had Thai fishcakes with some lovely pickles followed by a well balanced main of pork belly. Overall a nice dining experience with friendly and attentive service.

A bit hard to find in the dark, but very well worth it. The menu is not huge, but very varied, across all courses. But then, I prefer to have a small menu expertly prepared, than a larger one, that sometimes lose quality. Service was very friendly and attentive and now we know where to find it, we may well return.

We went here for dinner on a Friday evening. We had a Travelzoo voucher which meant we had a three course dinner. From the moment we arrived to be greeted in such a welcoming manner, to the time we left, full of food, the service was impeccable. The food was really good. Whilst it isn't Michelin star standard for the price range it is real quality. The presentation is excellent of every dish and the tastes of all six dishes was nice. The wine list has a good selection too. I could not understand why the restaurant was so quiet. I thought long and hard about my rating as I rarely give five stars but this place merits them. It deserves to be packed and we will definitely return and be happy to come without a voucher!

Had a very enjoyable meal here and although it was quite late in the evening, nothing was too much trouble.

Loved the location set on an 18 hole golf course, team that looked after us were excellent. I had steak which was cooked to perfection, my wife had the pork belly, again cooked to perfection. We were visiting the area - we will return and this restaurant will be on the agenda.

Strange place. Attractive restaurant with nice view and pleasant staff. Long wait for food and wished we hadn't bothered!! Burger over cooked and chicken wrapped in Parma ham not cooked for long enough - skin was slimey and fatty and those were definitely not dauphinoise potatoes. Very disappointing.

I've been to this restaurant a couple of times now and have enjoyed the food considerably and the excellent service. If I have a criticism, it's that the menu is quite limited, yes there is something for everyone on it but if you went a couple of times you would struggle to find something new to wet your appetite. Price is reasonable, not cheap, but not stupid expensive!

I read a Sunday paper review a few years ago, which basically said the only place you are going to get quality food and the best chef's are in London. Umm,hello. As we stepped through the door the greeting was so warm and friendly (and genuine) we were instantly relaxed and impressed. The service was absolutely top notch, courteous,friendly and very knowledgeable (the sort you could imagine paying top dollar for in London) we both had 3 courses, I'm not sure when I last ate so well with food that just kept on giving, an absolute taste bud extravaganza. For main I had a rump steak, unquestionably the nicest steak I have ever had. I could and probably should go on and on, however the best review I can give this restaurant is the how keen We are to return and will return. Thank you everyone so much for a wonderful evening.

I can't recommend this venue enough for a meal. This is our second time here and the standard of food and service is just as high. Outstanding meal. Recommendations from the extremely friendly and knowledgeable waiter. A bit of a drive for us but well worth the journey.

good quality food..i am vegetarian and i thoroughly recommend the veggie burger and salads. they are very tasty!

Second time here in 4 weeks. Tonight's dinner was exceptional. Lovely surroudings, attentive staff. Good choice of courses along with a few specials. Highly recommend.

Decided to have the three course option and the poached pear starter was good. The main courses however were were poor. Served with seasonal veg. which was spinach for my wife, which she does not like and onions with my fish. The cheese was very dried up with the cheese and biscuits and my dessert was ok. We were both disappointed with the food, but service was good and location quite good.

My son and i went for dinner one Friday evening in July . The atmosphere was friendly and we were looked a after very well.We had booked a three course dinner with a 'voucher' but with complimentary crostini on arrival we could only manage 2 courses and coffee! The menu was contemporary and the starters were delicious ( prawns for me pate for him ) the main courses were classic and unfortunately we did not get to desert.

We had a good deal from the internet. When we arrived we were greeted by Pedro who made us feel quite special, we choose our drinks and carried on through to the terrace which over looked the pond and the golf course. We were given time to relax and other people arrived. We ordered Tiger Prawns to start and Hake for the main meal, both were delicious, we were given a glass of Riesling wine to accompany the fish. I ordered the strawberry's and cream which was very well presented and my partner ordered the Jelly. We had live music and the whole mood was great.

Visited for a family meal for Father in Law's birthday. We use this restaurant regularly and have always found the staff to be friendly, courteous and efficient. The food is well cooked and well presented and certainly lacks nothing in terms of value for money. Foodie nights on a Thursday are always good value and evenings with entertainment book up very quickly.

Usually a good place to eat but we were disappointed this time. Parmesan crisps so burnt they shouldn't have been served, drinks not as ordered, no lemon in drink, other drinks orders were forgotten, menu has been pared down and two dishes we'd have liked were sold out so v little to choose from, dishes not as described on menu, chips frozen not hand cut, burger in a plain bap not brioche, non of us got the vegetables that the menu says are served with all main courses, a solid inedible jelly ... maybe just an off day but it wasn't the dining experience we are used to at what was one of our favourite Witney restaurants.

Gradually eating my way around the area, today I was a member's guest at this restaurant. We had a truly delicious lunch; the service was attentive and friendly and - even without the offer for members - it was good value. We each had 3 courses because we couldn't resist trying the desserts (having enjoyed our first 2 courses so much). All our dishes were very good indeed, as was the freshly baked bread placed on our table. I will look forward to coming again.

Visited twice recently once with friends and once with the husband Both times we had lovely food and good service Pedro the restaurant manager (?) is a lovely host and always makes me very welcome Going back next week with a friend to try the new menu

We went on a Wednesday evening when there was a special offer - two courses from the menu each plus a glass of prosecco each. This was really good value for £34, especially as some of the main courses for two would have come to the same price. We have never been disappointed with the food or service here, it is very consistent. The offer is not available all the time, so I suggest you check the website to see when it is available.

A smorgasbord of culinary delights accompanied by excellent service. Flavoursome courses with lovely little added extras. Very friendly attentive staff. Great ambience. If it's always this good I would definitely recommend.

I came here with my wife and young daughter for an evening meal, using a voucher from travelzoo. The voucher entitled us to two, three course meals, for £39. The menu looked good but execution was lacking. My starter of blue cheese souffle was nice, however, my wife had chicken liver parfait which had no seasoning at all and wasn't good. For main course I had belly pork with celeriac fondant and madeira jus. It came as just a chunk of belly pork on some chard. No sauce, no celeriac. My wife ordered lamb two ways with rosemary and garlic jus. This again came with no sauce. The roast lamb was actually nice and tender, but the second way of a little pan with a hotpot in was unpleasant. Really fatty and tasted weird. The mains were supposed to be served with honey roast root vegetables. It actually came with some green beans, mange tout and carrot. Which is fine except it's not what was on menu and they actually make a big deal of "root to table" using locally produced veg. Pretty sure the veg wasn't local! The chips were good though! Desserts were nice. I was just left feeling underwhelmed by the whole experience. If I had paid full price for the meals I would of complained. The staff are pleasant and it's a nice restaurant but I wouldn't return, even with a voucher. There's too much choice in the area to be left disappointed by a meal

My husband and I had dinner here at the end of April and we were really impressed by the food we had - it was all really well presented and tasted great. The staff were very attentive, professional and friendly. The best place to eat in Witney.

The food at the restaurant at Witney Lakes is really good quality with ingredients sourced from local suppliers. The menu is not extensive and will suit most palates. Dishes are well presented to a very good standard and the flavours are well balanced. The wine menu has a suitable range and reasonably priced.Staff are friendly and attentive without being too obtrusive. This is a restaurant which offers a very good dining experience and is well worth a visit.

Decided to try the restaurant as there was a deal for Resort Members and went with a couple of friends. The Restaurant Manager was very attentive from start to finish and the food was delicious. The location by a lake is very relaxing. Will definitely return soon.

The food is generally of good quality, a bit lacking in atmosphere as its not very busy when we have been there several lunchtimes - we have not been in the evening.

We took 29 adults and two children for a family celebration dinner. The staff were extremely welcoming and worked really hard to make all members of our party feel special. The service was great and the food absolutely excellent. Amongst our party we tried all of the starts, mains and desserts and all were superb. They also set up a special meal for the children so that they were not left out. We really loved this place and will be back!

Despite some trouble finding its long bumpy access the menu proved to be very comprehensive with adequate allergy information. The service was excellent and friendly despite our late arrival

the whole experience was first class. the main course was salmon and this was excellent. For pudding we had sticky toffee and again first class as it wasnt to heavy in texture

Having eaten at The Restaurant many times over the last few years I am always delighted by the consistent quality presentation and value for money.

This restaurant never fails to deliver - nice menu, good price and excellent food - all adds up to great value in nice relaxed atmosphere.

Great place to celebrate a birthday. My 70th birthday took place in June and it was a wonderful day thanks to the staff at this location. Nothing was too much trouble and the organisation of the day was excellent. My wife and I have recently returned there to enjoy a lunch on our 48th wedding anniversary and that was also a special time for us and once again the Restaurant lived up to expectations.

Had a lovely meal here. Very impressed with ths menu, decor and staff. Would definitely return and recommend.Staff need to wear name badges so I could of highlighted the staff member that was really professional and helpful

We came here en masse (twenty of us) for lunch today Sunday 4th OctoberThe food and service was excellent and Pedro was a most gracious hostWe all had a lovely time and everyone enjoyed their foodWell done Pedro and your team you are fabulous

Well deserving of there rosette for food!!Food cooked exceptionally with obvious care and attention to detail on every course. A very well thought out and balanced menu that was both classic, contemporary and interesting. Well done kitchen. I will be back when ever I'm in the area

It was our 59th. wedding anniversary which 6 of us were about to celebrate.Imagine our horror when we found a party of 16 had been placed in the same area, the area being approx. 6metres x 6metres.The noise created was awful; it was impossible to hear one speakTo make matters worse we did not get our 1st. course until the 16 party had not only fini9shed their main course but were now enjoying the dessert !!Needless to say the staff were quite indifferent to our situation.Finally we did get some response after complaining and were then served our dessertin the WAITING LOUNGE..Even then we seemed to be ignored, that at 10.00 p.m. we were having ask whether we could be served coffee.

We attended a family wedding, at the golf club, due to bad weather we were unable to have the wedding on the lake, but the resort staff and wedding planner went out of their way to make the day memorable, even to providing a.baby sitter. So that a upset 2 year old was taken care of during the service and when he rejoined the party was full of smiles. The attention to detail was wonderful, and the service was held in the St. Andrews room and then upstairs for the reception, the way the room and the tables were decorated was breathtaking and there were plenty of staff on hand who were very smart, polite and could not have done anything more for us. Thank you so much, and if anyone is looking for somewhere special for a celebration you would not be disappointed.

My wife & I had a splendid evening with excellent food & surroundings. The restaurant manager was very obliging & we started our meal with complimentary canapés.The menu is not large but caters for all tastes. I can recommend the scotch egg starter. Well done to all the staff

Three out of our group of four wanted steak medium rare. The meal had to be returned three times as the steak was overcooked. Each time it was bought back to the table it was the same meal just cooked a bit more. We knew this as the chips were darker and the tomato was more wrinkled. We had a lengthy conversation with the head waiter who apparently was a trained chef, who seemed unable to understand what a medium rare steak looked like! To this end, my daughter provided photos on her mobile phone which were then taken into the kitchen for the chef to consult. Even after this the steaks were bought out more cooked than the previous time! Eventually more mains were ordered. I ended up eating my main on my own. We asked the head waiter for complimentary desserts for our inconvenience and when he agreed we ordered desserts. However, shortly thereafter he reneged on his promise offering us only a '10% discount' on future visits. Why on earth did he think we would go again!

We have just had a meal using an Amazon Local voucher. The meal was very enjoyable, and the views were fantastic. My husband enjoyed the black pudding as a starter, and I loved the scotch egg. We both had the steak to follow and this was very tender with a lovely sauce. My husband's only grouse, although he loved the cheese board, he felt it was a little expensive. Nevertheless we would definitely go again.

We went to Witney Lakes restaurant on an Amazon Local voucher last night and loved it. The menu was high quality and not too long, and the food was super. Pedro, the host, was outstanding - a real professional who made you feel so welcome. The home-made black pudding was just great, and the signature scotch egg was both inventive and delicious. Very good value!

Very good food (confit of duck for example) with good service. More expensive that the Witney average but worth it.

The restaurant has an upstairs area that can be used by larger groups away from the main restaurant. We had a group of about 50 people for a special dinner, and were well looked after by the staff. The meal is of course a set meal for that number, and there is not the scope to provide as much variety as you would get downstairs, but the meal and service were perfectly acceptable for the occasion.

This is a very special place with a lovely setting and very well cooked food. We were welcomed on arrival by two really nice lads, Conner and Jake. They are a credit to the restaurant, being very friendly and very knowledgeable about the actual food on the menu.(this is quite rare in todays culinary world). Some of the food is very different (eg I had the starter of the wild mushroom scotch egg, the main being rump of lamb followed by Guiness, chili and cheese on toast) and all highly delicious. The actual venue overlooks a lake with plenty of outside seating. The menu is varied and the four of us each had something different. The chef is excellent for all of the food was outstanding. The portions were generous without being so much they are difficult to finish. Most of all, everything was superbly cooked. We all had three courses with drinks and everything was just right. We were offered their Loyalty Card for future use (10% off) which we gratefully accepted for we will definitely return. I would imagine you are looking at about £30 per head for three courses which in todays world is exceedingly good value, especially when have such lovely surroundings and great food and service. Ample parking. All in all, a tasty delight!

I had superb real smoked salmon started followed by a rump of lamb nicely cooked rare just as I requested with a very suitable sweet sauce. My daughter had nice well done Sirloin with garlic butter. Service from Robert was friendly and efficient. One of my favourite restaurants in the area.

Food was lovely tasting however I didn't feel that I had a complete meal. I ordered soup, which doesn't come with bread. Then ordered a cheese lattice which came with two sprigs of asparagus. I would have expected a salad with it, or vegetables and some new potatoes. £17 for this little amount of food is overpriced. Also there was only one vegetarian option on the menu to choose from which is pretty rubbish in this day and age. I wouldn't go back.

Went to the lakes for Father's Day lunch. Great meal service fantastic by the young waiters/waitresses & the big bonus is great value . So all in All very good dining experience .

This restaurant overlooking a tranquil lake and golf course continues to deliver the best value meals in the area. They call Thursday's their 'Foody Night' and last week they excelled themselves again with an unbelievably succulent braised shin of English rose veal on a bed of broad bean risotto, wild rocket and gremolata. All for £18! The absolute tops was the way they mixed the marrow and the meats in to the bone like a bowl within the plate. Sheer heaven! Also couldn't resist the starter of crumbly and light home made black pudding with shredded apple. For six pounds who couldn't!!

Been a member of Witney Lakes Spa for a number of years and do the advantage of their special nights i the Restaurant.The food is very good and they do put on some interesting menu's specials on a thursday evening. Brigham Crab, Local sourced meats and fish. Local asparagus dishes which are in season at the moment. The wines are a good selection and reasonably priced.The atmosphere is enjoyable and the staff are always pleasant and helpful. I go there a lot and highly recommend it.

Excellent sea bass in a delightful setting overlooking the golf course. Why the place was not packed out I don't know but suggest you go before it becomes popular - as it no doubt will

Lovely setting and great decor. Front of House was very welcoming and friendly (even if they did get our name wrong). Set price sunday lunch was great and the food cooked to perfection. Service was great but then again it was not too busy so expected nothing less.

Fantastic meal, the food was fresh and tasty, all cooked to perfection. The service was faultless, all the staff, especially Pedro were very attentive and helpful, they couldn't do a enough for us. All the family enjoyed it. We will definately be back.

We have just visited the restaurant for the first time yet only live 4 miles away!!! Why have we not been before?? Amazing service from Pedro and his team, amazing food from the kitchen. Will definitely be going back.

Great family meal with good menu choices for adults and children of various ages. Good wines and cask beers as well as the usual lager offerings. A couple of minor mixups on the order but otherwise excellent service and great food in a lovely setting.

Been here a few times for dinner!Wonderful food, great staff and a fantastic atmosphere.Would recommend to anyone! A*

Post business meeting meal, just because we were hungry more than anything else. Well, what a super menu, top marks for the fresh and inventive combinations. Pretty good value as well. I`d like to return, but it’s a bit too far from home. If you in the region, I would recommend you check them out. Pretty impressive.

We ate in the restaurant last night and despite it being 'foody night' the place was very quiet. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely,classy and understated with fabulous views of the golf course and lake. The staff were attentive and the food was delicious even though the menu was small we all found something that we wanted to eat. Each course was beautifully presented and fab. The price was reasonable for 3 people eating 3 courses plus coffee. It is cheaper than other places locally and an excellent place to eat if you want a great setting and a quiet place to chat as you eat.

Been eating at Witney Lakes for a while now, always my go to place when I want great food, good prices and consistency. Everything is made fresh and it shows. They also have a sports bar which serves some pretty damn good burgers. Would recommend for a lovely evening meal or a wholesome lunch :)

This was probably one of the best meals that I have in resent times, the food was cooked to perfection, the service was superb, and we all had a fantastic time.

We had three generations of our family group here for Mothers Day, and we were well looked after by the waiting staff. The restaurant was of course busy, and we had to be through in 2 hours, but we were served in that time without any sense of pressure. The food was as always here wonderfully presented, with the usual touch of originality, and the taste was as good as the presentation. One of the best places to eat in the Witney area.
