The Restaurant at Wychwood Park Hotel in Cheshire East

Mediocre menu and poor food. Best course was the dessert. Overpriced for fish and chips or a beef burger.

Third visit to Wychwood: We stayed here on a two night Great Little Breaks Deal: B,B,D with a bottle of wine both nights and a Ticket for two to Trentham Gardens. Whilst the restaurant staff were aware of the deal, they were not familiar with the details. The deal included a bottle of wine to the value of £22.50, and a dinner allocation each night of £28pp. On the first night the waiter offered us a bottle of house white or house red. We said that the deal is a bottle of any wine up to the value of £22.50, which after querying with his supervisor, was agreed. The menu was limited: choices of starters, choice of about 6 main courses and a choice of desserts. Nothing was individually priced so we had no idea of the value and didn't query it, as the food was very good and quite sufficient. Second night, We asked for the same wine ( a chenin blanc at £22) as we had selected the previous night, but instead we were given a different one, which was probably the cheaper house white (everyone else had the same bottle). If so, a bit naughty. What does the manager think? Anyway, the wine was fine so no fuss made. The hotel was comfortable, the whole two days were enjoyable Except for the breakfasts: the hot buffet was cold, as were the plates. Having said that, we'd revisit again. Perhaps the waiting-on staff can be trained a little more, it would help them and us!

Breakfast was buffet style lots of choice from full English to continental Choice 3 main dishes and soup for lunch Choice of 3 main dishes plus soup and desserts for dinner

The chef needs to get a probe to check temperature of food, our food was Luke warm, this was for all three courses.

What sort of restaurant listed a fair number of fish options om the menu and then proceeds to have none of them available. A number of other choices were also not available and one of our drinks was served in a chipped glass. Very slow service finished off a most unpleasant evening.
