A long overdue revisit to The Whitebrook, it was to be our second Michelin Starred Welsh restaurant in 2 days. With the focus on ingredients locally sourced, grown and foraged - supplemented with fruit and vegetables from the kitchen garden - Chris and his team were awarded a Michelin Green Star in recognition of their sustainable practices and it shines through in the food we ate. Drinks and nibbles in the bar before dinner with a top notch Negroni, before moving into the dining room for our 9 course dinner. The front of house guys, Roman and Zsolt, provide a relaxed and quietly confident service, underlined with a great knowledge of the food and drink offered to their guests. Highlights of the menu were the Severn and Wye smoked eel with seaweed custard, truffle baked parsnip and the main course hogget 4 ways with an amazing rolled belly crisp. However, the halibut poached in Monmouthshire ham fat stole the show - a glorious dish. Having the wine flight with the tasting menu, Roman served some real off the beaten track selections with the “Little Bee” Pinot Gris from Devon and the Hunny Bunny by Judith Beck from Austria really different from the run of the mill choices usually seen with flights and both were a revelation. We took the additional cheese course and Zsolt expertly guided us through the selection of Welsh cheeses on offer with tasting notes and the optimum order to eat them. A real high quality dinner, well paced and packed full of flavour. The next morning, we were greeted with a delicious tasting breakfast menu with sublime sourdough crumpets, lovely bacon, black pudding and Charcuterie from nearby Trealy Farm and the best ever muffins - apple and meadowsweet. The food and service surpassed our previous visit and we will certainly return, our only regret is that The Whitebrook is not located on coastal Dorset!

The food was amazing, beautifully presented and balanced. The service was excellent and informative! All in all everything was excellent my only negative is that the restaurant itself is in the middle of nowhere which makes getting transport if you want to sample the great wine choice, a little difficult.

I've eaten in a lot of Michelin Star restaurants and expect a certain standard not just with food but decor, presentation, table set up, staff attention etc. The Whitebrook was underwhelming from the get go. Not terrible but not good enough that you feel that there has been enough attention paid to detail. I could go on about the peripheral details but I won't. Lets move onto the food itself. We'd contacted The Whitebrook prior to arriving and notified them that one of our party was dairy intolerant. Having done that at other Michelin Restaurants I would have expected alternatives to be in place. Not here. I got served exactly the same as my wife but minus the dairy elements so that each dish looked unfinished and certainly didn't deliver as a complete taste experience that the chef had planned. We're in 2024. Being dairy intolerant or Gluten intolerant is not such a rarity. You'd have thought there would be measures in place to make the diner feel considered for what is an expensive meal and a special evening. I certainly didn't have that feeling here. The other point that was a major turn off for both my wife and I was that each course that had a sauce with it was majorly over seasoned. The sauces were so salty that we couldn't finish each course. We were both really trying to turn a blind eye to the indiscretions at The Whitebrook and to enjoy the final evening of a wonderful long weekend in the area culminating with our gustatory experience at The Whitebrook. We were left feeling very flat and disappointed. Neither of us has ever felt that when leaving a Michelin starred restaurant before. Hope it never happens again.

Every bit as good as you would expect from Chris Harrod ... Foraged delights and exquisite cooking combine into an amazing dining experience. Understated brilliance, relaxed and totally enthralling. Having now stayed in their rooms and sampled their breakfast we can now confirm that this is possibly the best way to spend New Years Eve! As ever, Chris' menu and the Kitchen team excelled themselves and the Front of House team are just brilliant!

We have just enjoyed a beautiful ‘taster menu’ lunch at the Whitebrook. A truly memorable taste of autumn with the freshest of local ingredients from the garden, the most succulent of mackerel and cod with fresh light deserts crating a perfect balanced meal. The taster wine selection was exceptional with a unique blend of wines from the northern and Southern Hemispheres that complimented the menu perfectly. A perfect venue for a weekend treat in the autumnal Wye Valley. We hope to be back when visiting the Monmouth borders.

We were on holiday in the area and found this Michelin starred restaurant while googling local places to visit! What a find!! Beautifully restored building, and fabulous food concentrating on local, seasonal and foraged food. We had the 9 course tasting menu and it didn’t disappoint. The local cheeses were delicious and the local sparkling wine was so good we wanted to know where we could buy some to take home with us! Yes, it’s expensive, but worth it. The only feedback I’d give to the restaurant is that it was quite chilly in there, and a light in the car park would have been good. Otherwise, can’t fault it!!

Phenomenal tasting menu with very interesting flavour combinations. We were celebrating an anniversary and were mindful of the price when booking Dinner, Bed & Breakfast but decided to go for it given the restaurant's reputation. The service is very understated and our welcome when we checked in and the service from the sommelier reflected that, so to that extent our visit didn't feel that special in terms of the overrrall experience. I appreciate this is not a hotel so was not expecting hotel facilities but our room (room 6) was very dark and gloomy and small, and the bathroom was in need of a refresh with poor attention to maintenance. The lounge area for pre-drinks was not the cosiest and lacked the sort of ambience I was hoping for. We didn't opt for the wine flight and asked for the sommelier's advice on a red wine. As the menu lent very much towards white wine choices he looked somewhat disgruntled and his advice amounted to take a look at the wine list and buy what you know and will enjoy - he then walked away! That was a surprise! We were a bit discombobulated by his reaction so switched to a bottle of white without any further advice from him. We did have a chat with him a little later on when he warmed up a bit! We thought we would not spend quite as much if we didn't take the wine flight but we were wrong as the mark up on wine is pretty hefty (not unusual of course). So, in summary, all in all the most expensive evening meal we've ever had and the food was amazing (it does naturally take a while to get through the 8 courses and we only had one gap between courses which seemed a little too long); however as an overrall arrival to departure experience it lacked a certain extra specialness which I was hoping for given the price point.

Stayed for two nights for a celebration. All I can say is that it was faultess. Wonderful service from start to finish. Its remote location is part of the magic, in a beautiful wooded valley running up from the Wye. The rather plain white exterior belies what lies within. An intimate,contemporary, informal restaurant with some great artwork. The food is simply stunning, the default is a tasting menu, but as we were staying two nights we had a la carte on the second night. The very clever use of garden and foraged herbs ran through the whole menu, which delivered a very different and very pleasant experience. Every dish hit the mark without exception. The wine list was exceptional as the was the sommelier, with a very friendly and practical approach. We went with a Welsh white on teh first night and an English red on the second. Both were excllent. Our room was very comfortable and luxurious. Given the small number of rooms and the location on a very quiet lane. The quietness is remarkable, so delivered a very good nights sleep. Onto breakfast, also delivered in a tasting menu style, which was unsusual, with dishes on a par with dinner. All local ingredients cooked to perfection and portion sizes appropiate to the number of dishes.

Long over due review of a local favourite. This is obvs no ordinary local though, instead carefully and thoughtfully prepared garden fresh (ie foraged) food, with brilliant tasting parings and twists (that work) and incredibly, in spite of the many courses, never leaving you feeling over whelmed - ie flavours / cooking approach (v little oil / butter) means its a wonderfully light tasting menu. I am only sorry i havent left a review before - but the staff are consistently welcoming, the wine selection fab - and we are always blown away by the flavours. Thank you all! ps - sure its not "cheap" but for the courses and quality its v v good value!

If like me you've eaten everything and want to try something new then this is the place for you. The remote location confused my satnav but with a bit of perseverance I arrived in plenty of time. I perused the menu and relaxed with a glass of wine on the terrace, an area which is literally like sitting in the middle of a forest. After enjoying the snacks it was back into the restaurant for the food part of the adventure, with the hogget main course and the rhubarb dessert being particularly memorable. Each element of the lunch menu contained items grown in the grounds or foraged from the surroundings. A truly inspiring experience and at lunchtime it's excellent value for money.

Absolutely delicious meal for our anniversary. It was a huge treat for us given the cost but we thoroughly enjoyed the 7 course meal. The tastes and flavours, and all from locally sources ingredients, we're phenomenal. We have a 7.30 table at were the only guests for a good half an hour which was a little uncomfortable (lacking atmosphere) so I'd recommend a slightly later table but I would definitely recommend.

This is a "Fine dining experience" so big plates and tiny portions. I ordered Suckling pig and when it arrived there were three tiny (OXO cube size) bits of pork (?). It took almost three hours to complete the "Experience", Lots of time between courses.......O.K. for a glass of wine unless you're driving. Having said all that, with a balanced view - The food was lovely, staff attentive and great quality. I didn't leave feeling hungry, which was a worry during the long meal. I've been to a few Michelin star restaurants : This one is different. I had certain expectations which were dashed but maybe it 's because I'm a Phillistine; I don't know. Just be aware that the portions are really tiny but nice.

This restaurant is outstanding. All courses in the tasting menu were original without the gimmicks that characterise some experimental restaurants. Each course flowed from the previous serving and the balance between vegetable, seafood, fish and meat dishes was measured. The use of locally foraged plants added a special touch. We were privileged to have Beate serve us. She combined her expert nowledge of food, and particularly wines, with cheerful and charming demeanour. We have eaten in several two Michelin star restaurants. The Whitebrook would sit comfortably with them.

We loved it when we came first time in March 2019 - the food was brilliant, the staff were great and we left with smiles on our faces. We decided to come back and ended up leaving feeling we had been robbed and very disappointed. The staff were not to the same standard as before and well below par. We weren't given a menu as we had booked the tasting menu....we still wanted to see what we would be eating. One waiter had his shirt untucked for a big chunk of the evening - it wouldn't bother me but I am paying a lot for this service! Someone must have told him eventually. He also had sweat pouring off him later - not really what I want to see as he stands above me serving my food. We asked for the cheese course before the desserts and this seemed to be a massive problem to him; but an adjacent table were offered this choice so it wasn't an unusual ask! We felt some staff members were snobby. We were also charged for a wine flight we didn't have! The food was not as good either. We started eating at 7pm but didn't get to our main until 10pm.... it was like they were slowing us down to be in sync with the later tables. We have done a lot of Michelin star meals but never sat there and thought we were hungry as it was taking that long to get through. The Local Carrot dish was so bitter that it was horrible. The other dishes were very similar style and had a bitterness that needed offsetting with something pickled or sweet. A couple of tables got up to leave before the sweet treats at the end, so I assume they were also thinking it had been a long night! We had been to EPIC (1 star in Belfast) the weekend before and this just made this experience even worse as we were paying £30 more ahead for a disappointing night as opposed to the amazing experience at EPIC. I don't know what has happened at the Whitebrook since the great experience we had in March 2019 but we won't be going back again.

Waste of time and money. Been there to celebrate my wife's 40th back in January. Tasting menu lasted 4h. Food below average, kombucha tasted like a sauerkraut juice from 1£ jar one can find in any Eastern European shop, eel tasted like a marinated herring from the same shop, in a meantime we have been served bread and butter :) tasted the same like my mum used to make (thanks for not charging me 110£ for each dinner mum), decor needs a shakeup, paint flaking of the walls, etc. Etc, but the worst came last and actually this is why I decided to write a review. We been handled a card explaining that apparently man is donating 1£ (literally 1 pound) to some homeless charity from each table in the restaurant and he dares to invite customers to donate more, this I cant comprehend!!! 1£!!!!! we left there about 400£ it's not even 1% SHOCKING!

We ate at the Whitebrook for lunch today for a special meal (birthday). We arrived slightly early as we had checked out of our accommodation and pitched up at 11am. The restaurant were very accommodating and were quite happy for us to read on the...

Just off the River Wye on a small lane makes finding a little challenge. Also parking is limited so beware if the hotel is full too. They seem to have quite a few charming rooms (not tested). The lunch offer is basically 3 or 5...

This was the third time of visiting the Whitebrook and was for a anniversary treat. Covid cautions meant some of the niceties were not there but all was fine until dinner. 3 courses in and a vegetable dish with lots of flowers was going down...

A truly delicious and comparatively affordable tasting menu, with friendly staff. Had to smile at being told that something had been 'foraged from our polytunnels' but otherwise a perfect experience showcasing local produce and ingredients. Very hard to choose favourites between excellent courses.

We had the 5 course set lunch. I cannot praise this restaurant enough. Every dish was superb with a great eye for detail in every dish. All dishes tasted divine and were presented superbly. We also had a wonderful bottle of Lebanese wine. All the...

The setting of this restaurant is stunning. It is quite remote, but the whole of the Wye Valley is absolutely picture perfect. We had a lovely welcome, and no issues at all with our room. The bathroom was clean and bright, with a lovely colour...

Wish I had read some reviews before going to this restaurant and spending a small fortune. I don’t normally write bad reviews but after eating at The Whitebrook I need to give out a warning. If you want to be disappointed come. If you want...

Good food seduces the senses. And certainly the beautiful presentation of each course was a delight to behold, from the delicate circle of flowers surrounding the salmon starter, the carefully placed pieces of lamb on the main course, to the light and tangy rhubarb with...

Grateful to return for a five course Saturday lunch treat after too long due to lockdowns etc. It did not disappoint. Chris at the top of his game. The duck liver parfait was frankly one of the best things I have ever tasted. An exceptional...

Having visited the hotel previously we decided to return as the Chef has acquired a Michelin Star and our package for one night included the Taster Menu. Our room was on the second floor so not particularly easy to carry a case up the stairs...

We visited to celebrate an anniversary. It is not cheap but worth it for a treat. The food is innovative and spectacular. Beautiful small dishes making full use of local produce and foraged food, fresh and exciting. Rooms are comfortable with nice touches. No phone...

Not one for usually leaving reviews, but considering the challenging times the hospitality industry is facing it's so important to keep special places like The Whitebrook open and prosperous. We had the most beautiful 3-course lunch today - every single course was a perfect combination...

We visited the restaurant for dinner, an overnight stay and breakfast, in early June. In summary: the location was beautiful, the food was disappointing, the wines were not good and, most sadly, the hospitality was poor. We travelled to Wales and booked overnight babysitting for...
