The Whitebrook Restaurant in Monmouthshire

We had lunch here on Thursday. I am in a powered wheelchair, the last time we ate there, I was able to get in easily, but this time, there was some work being done on the back terrace, but the waiter went and got a ramp and made a lot of effort to get me into the restaurant. The food was outstanding, we asked the sommelier to choose wines to go with the dishes and they were all excellent. We pushed the boat out a bit, so the bill was large, but you get what you pay for, and they have, quite rightly a Michelin star. No complaints from us.

Incredible food. Every dish was a work of art.

Lovely, the food is light, fulfilling and dellicately delicious. The tasting menu with wine pairing left me feeling replenished and energised rather than stuffed full. The staff are informative, attentive, and lovely and made our stay very enjoyable . The Whitebrook feels like a doorway to the wild lands that surround and nourish it. Wonderful.

My partner and I came here for the 9 course tasting menu and it was absolutely fantastic. Really delicious food and incredible service! They were also understanding of my dairy intolerance as we gave them notice about it, it was nice to be included in the menu

We dined at The Whitebrook restaurant for a birthday meal. For a Michelin star restaurant, the dishes, in our opinion, lacked creativity. The vegetarian menu and standard 9 course menu were lovely, but nothing that blew our mind. We've been to many other 1 Michelin star restaurants that have exceeded our expectations. The service here was particularly poor on the evening - it took the team 20 minutes to bring each course out, so for 9 courses, we were here almost 4 hours for just a table of 2. It also felt as though they were under staffed, as waiters were bolting off to the kitchen to grab the dish for the next table constantly. I was served a fish dish and had to correct them that I'm a vegetarian. We also had no body topping up our water or checking if we are ok for drinks. These sound like minor points but for a place like this, I'd expect top standard service, which we certainly didn't receive here. Also absolutely no atmosphere to the restaurant - there were 6 tables occupied, all in close proximity and no background music in the restaurant. Meaning conversations were overheard by all tables in an extremely intimate and quiet room. It just felt strange overall and we were keen for the experience to end so we could FINALLY get home!

Ok. This could take a while…I’ve read a huge number of reviews of The Whitebrook before posting this. Nearly all say that the food is fantastic (for the most part, it is) and only a few mention the extremely long waits between courses. These delays, over 9 courses, add up to your spending around 4 hours in the restaurant. I’ve eaten in some posh places and never had a 40 minute wait between courses. My husband thought there had to be a problem in the kitchen but, reading other reviews, this time frame seems standard. To be honest, I was losing the will to live by course 8 and we politely asked for the bill which came, miraculously, almost immediately. There were three members of staff that we saw. An older man, the sommelier and a much younger chap who was really nice. The older two could have come straight from Fawlty Towers. Completely stuck-up and cold. Our ‘welcome’ was chilly. Our table was booked for 7:30pm and we arrived at 7:30 pm. The older man paused what he was doing and looked up as we entered the restaurant. Then paused again as if he had no idea we were coming. He said, slightly crossly, ‘oh you are here at last. I’d better take you straight to your table’. Definitely odd. The building is odd too. It looks like three modern houses knocked into one. So why the ceiling beams? Why was the dining room cold (the radiators were off)? It was a dark night and there was insufficient lighting outside the property to show you where to park. Hanging about in the car in the pitch black in a narrow muddy lane trying to decipher faded parking signs is not pensioner fun, I’m afraid. We ended up in the overflow car park with a little trot to the restaurant. This would have been fine but the paths were treacherously muddy and even the concrete block walkway to the door was slippery. When we exited at about 11:15, there was no moon and absolutely no lighting. Luckily, my husband and I had our phone torches. I have to admit to something here. We were supposed to have been eating at The Whitebrook a month earlier. On the very day, my tooth fell into two pieces, with one wobbly bit still in my jaw. There was no way that I could go out to eat like that. We telephoned The Whitebrook immediately and were curtly told that we still owed them the £260 for the meal we’d booked whether we came to eat it or not. This was not particularly surprising as the booking conditions and reminder had all informed us about this clause. However, human decency in this situation did not seem paramount. Some sympathy and an offer to rebook us would have gone a long way. My husband is not easily put off and managed to obtain last night’s reservation by paying £260 on his credit card over the telephone on the spot. Maybe this had something to do with the cold welcome and the odd things the waiter said last night? I know people just decide not to go to restaurants that they’ve booked, leaving the place out of pocket. But this was a real emergency not a silly excuse. At least the waiter could have pretended to believe us. Rude, just rude. If you can bear all these things, the food (when you get it) is very good, if a little lukewarm. But, for God’s sake, take a room for the night then you can sit and drink the rather overpriced wine to fill in the gaps.

Excellent stay, dinner and breakfast. The dinner was wonderful, quirky at times, but delicious. Chris's cooking is superb

Fabulous! We were bought a present of the 7 course lunch tasting menu. Throughly enjoyable, tasty and beautifully presented food. Lovely service, friendly, knowledgeable and unpretentious. Overall a really lovely experience, thank you!

We made a really good decision to visit for lunch. Very warm welcome. Excellent setting and nice decor. Only negative was a guest who didn’t have their phone on silent and quite happily took calls, his big booming voice ruining the experience. I know it’s difficult but the team there should politely ask such characters to step outside to take calls. The food was wonderful, with a nice selection of local wines available as well. Incredibly fresh flavours. Well balanced dishes. Overall a good value experience.

Wonderful food. Good wine pairing. Flawless, attentive service. Nice room. Great breakfast. Thank you, Whitebrook!

My husband and I had their 7-course dinner, and it was absolutely sublime. All the dishes were well-balanced and clean. Even the pork dish, which could be too rich and heavy most of the time, was not. The quality of ingredients and presentation was phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed even the dishes with ingredients that I normally would not be fond of. That speaks to the genius of the chef who clearly knows how to combine various flavors to complement and enhance one another. The courses were also perfectly paced, and we felt pleasantly well fed by the end of it all. Honestly, the experience here is underpriced for what you’ll get. Can’t wait to return!

one of the most interesting and beautiful dinner we had for a long time .Chris is the king of foraging and a genius in composing excellent menu and wines 👍👍👍♥️♥️

We had a meal here to celebrate our anniversary. The location is beautiful and we did the circular walk before our meal as the weather was glorious. The food was exceptional, every course was delicious and the detail in presentation was second to none. The service was fantastic with very friendly and knowledgeable sommelier and maitre d. Obviously this isn’t cheap but it was a special occasion for us and very much worth the money. Highly recommended

The food and service as you would expect first class. Location beautiful. The room we had was clean and tidy very basic. But your not going for the rooms it's all about the food.

Lovely food and service is really good. I have been twice, once staying in the rooms so I could enjoy the wine flight. The wine flight was particularly interesting as I had three orange wines that paired well with the dishes. The room was cosy. The breakfast was nice as well.

Superb. Every course in a nine course tasting menu was perfectly executed. Every ingredient had a purpose. Highly recommended to foodies.

Excellent meal, as usual and flawless service. The tasting breakfast menu was new from our last visit, and an excellent addition. Only minor negative, the room was very hot in the night even with the air conditioning on.

Firstly must say lovely drive from Stonehouse very pretty the service from the 3 guys front of house was excellent all the food was art on a plate very fresh and super tasty the only course I did not enjoy was the lamb more fat than lamb other than that we both enjoyed our day out with a lovely lunch

Just amazing.. the food as always was spectacular in presentation and flavour. The staff were exceptional adding this superb experience.. two of our party of 5 had not been before and it was joy watching them relishing their first experience at this restaurant. Couldn’t recommend this place more . Thank you to all the great people who brought to us this lovely evening.

Food very well executed and presented. Didn't stay so can't comment on rooms.

Had an amazing dinner here, would highly recommend. We got the vegetarian version of the 7 course dinner menu, with wine pairings. The food was incredible, they clearly put a lot of effort into their vegetarian courses. The fear at a place like this is that you'll get an inferior experience without the meat dishes, but that wasn't our feeling at all. The wines were fantastic, ones we wouldn't have tried otherwise, and the servers talked us through all courses and wine pairings in a knowledgeable but unpretentious way. Only possible criticism was on a weekday evening it felt a little uncomfortably quiet at times, and I would have loved a better view of the surrounding scenery considering the beautiful location, but that's definitely not going to be my take away. Again, highly recommend for a treat dinner out.

Wonderful hidden gem, in Wales, close to Tintern Abbey, that this Michelin star restaurant. Located in a remote corner, among the hills and woods the restaurant offers locally sourced and fresh ingredients, to be sublimed and transformed by the magic of the Chef. Wye valley asparagus and rhubarb, piglets from local farms, homemade bread, lots of herbs that aren't just here to be fancy but to actually support each bite and tastes. This is one of these restaurant where the difference between "just food" and cuisine is visible and experienceable on every dish. Service is professional while helpful and smiling. Definitely worth the detour if you're around, and Michelin Star properly deserved !

Always brilliant. Light. Loads of courses. Wonderful team serving. Amazing food and wine. What else do we need! Thank you. So consistent.

I’d previously visited the Whitebrook a couple of years previously, but never stayed there. I was looking for somewhere to celebrate a very special occasion for my partner and I, and saw a “rooms and food” offer, so booked it. Firstly, the Whitebrook is not cheap, and there are Michelin star restaurants at significantly lower prices, so we were expecting something special. Let’s start with the good stuff: The food was exceptional, form beginning to end. There wasn’t a a single dish we didn’t enjoy, and they adapted perfectly to one of us being pescatarian. The wine was delicious, but very expensive for what it was, and I do feel restaurants shoot themselves in the foot by such markups. Given it was a Thursday, and there were only 8 covers dining in total, I’d imagine they could do with more custom, so why not extend the “winter wine flight” offer of “2 for 1” to attract customers. Regarding the accommodation, the room was clean and served its purpose, but was small, and rather tired, and several fittings either broken or falling off. I realise that it’s “not a Hotel”, but again, the prices should reflect that. Unfortunately, it was the overall ambiance that lets it down badly. The “greeting” upon arrival was about as poor as it can get, and I’m afraid the sommelier is woefully unprepared to welcome guests. Furthermore, he was completely unable to acknowledge or engage with my (female) partner, who felt completely ignored. If Seńor R has a “woman problem” he should perhaps reflect on how that makes people feel. Despite my attempts to engage with him in his local (Spanish) language, his rather surly attitude failed to lighten. Thankfully the waiter Philip was absolutely charming, jocular and the complete opposite of his colleague, and was equally bright and cheerful serving the “tasting breakfast” the following morning. Given the number of covers dining, one might have expected that the Chef himself might have taken it upon himself to pop out and have a short interaction with his customers, but alas that did not happen. If the Chef/owner cannot be bothered, and his “front of house” cannot either, then I’m afraid that despite amazing culinary skills- some of the best I’ve ever had- I’m not sure they deserve to succeed. (I notice that they appear not to read their own reviews, or certainly never take the time to respond to comments, so again……) Did I enjoy it? Yes- the food alone made it worth it. Would I return? Sadly not- or certainly not at these prices.

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 went for a special birthday having never been before. The ambiance was terrific, the staff were attentive friendly polite and helpful, and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend and will return.

A slice of rural heaven, matched by the chef’s carefully sourced & sustainable gastronomic menus. Nb however this is not a dog friendly restaurant

What a fabulous meal. Interesting, unusual, delicious ingredients, with friendly, highly professional service. One of the best meals we’ve had ages.

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.

One off my bucket list. Not disappointed.

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!!

Superb food, interesting wine flight, nice rooms, saw deer from the bedroom.

I didn't stay but stopped here when I was lost. The staff were friendly and so kind and helpful. The facilities looked lovely and I will definitely remember this place for future trips. So quiet and comfortable.

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!

Couldn't praise this restaurant enough! The staff there went above and beyond even to the point where one of the gentleman must of overheard me asking my wife about one of the ingredients and took his time to explain in detail what it is ,was honestly the best dining experience we have ever had ! considering it's Michelin star it's surprisingly un pretentious with hearty food .

Fabulous and distinctive restaurant (with rooms) in a hidden nook in the Wye Valley. The stupendous cuisine is the real reason to visit

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.

Great food served at its best , service and staff very professional, from start to finish an outstanding dining experience

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. It a stunning venue with a wonderful team and the food... Wow.

Just stunning! Perfect lunchtime spot for a treat.

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.

Gorgeous venue. Great food, well presented. Fully recommended!

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.

Had an amazing stay for my husbands birthday. We have been a number of times over the last 6 years, and it never disappoints. Spectacular food, service, and in the most beautiful setting. A truly wonderful weekend

I’ve been going on and off to the Whitebrook since it was reopened by Chris Harris in 2014? Chris has always without exception made stunningly beautiful and original food. This time it was just as brilliant as ever. Don’t miss out on a very special culinary experience… and excellent unobtrusive service.

We spent an enjoyable afternoon sampling the various exceptional courses delivered in impeccable style by the staff who explained the ingredients of each dish. Exceptional

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.

Awesome experience. Could not fault any aspect. Warm welcome. Lovely ambience. Great knowledgable waiting staff. And the food well just WOW. Locally sourced ingredients and love the foraging angle. More than just a restaurant visit, this was an exquisite experience of the highest standard.

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 have visited now a couple of times and enjoyed the Taster Menu on each occasion. The ingredients are locally sourced and presented well, our only critique is that we would have liked a wider variety of flavours/taste sensations to give the menu another dimension....

A wonderful restaurant and hotel tucked away in the Welsh countryside. Well appointed room with spacious bathroom and delightful freshly baked Welsh cakes alongside some fine ground coffee and quality teas. Dinner begins in the bar area with some well crafted cocktail’s utilising local foraged...

Although the food is well presented very little of it was delicious. There were lots of interesting foraged or homegrown ingredients but they simply weren’t tasty. We expected better from a Michelin starred restaurant and we know that foraged food can taste amazing from our...

We had a wonderful stay and dinner for my husbands birthday surprise! The food was exceptional with new flavour sensations we had never experienced or heard of with the foraged elements. 8/9 of the courses were divine, the truffle parsnip, scallop and brill the highlights....

Outstanding food and service: very professional but also approachable and friendly. Some of the best food we've had - and we've had a lot of good food. The courses were perfectly timed in their arrival and all looked very beautiful as well as tasting wonderful....

Had seen a couple of negative reviews but have to disagree. This was one of the best taster menus I have eaten. The attention to detail,quality of ingredients and the clever use of unusual local ingredients was exceptional. Staff were excellent and knowledgeable. A special...

We had an excellent experience at the Whitebrook last week. Had the tasting menu in the evening and enjoyed every course - particularly the pork dish and the truffled parsnip! Service was very good throughout, and the meal was well-paced. We had an excellent wine...

Fantastic food and service. Lovely relaxed lunch and it’s great to see the Whitebrook Restaurant maintaining its high standards.

Saturday afternoon in Jan. Food was excellent. Relaxed timings, sat down at about 1.00 left at about 4.00pm. Food was excellent. Cocktails were expensive even for Michelin star restaurant. Service was efficient but not particularly welcoming. Venue was chilly when we arrived and as time...

One if not the worst taster menus I’ve had !! And I’ve had a few at supposed top restaurants. This was the worst . We were sat down for 9 courses at 7:30 and at 11:30 !! Yes 11:30 we still hadn’t finished!! One couple...

We thought the 8 course tasting menu absolutely superb, full of intriguing flavours and textures, and being largely plant based was not as heavy as other tasting menus with several fish and meat courses. Despite the amount of work that goes into each dish they...

We were so looking forward to our visit to the White Brook. As self confessed ‘foodys’ we were excited to explore the 7 course taster menu, having enjoyed the brilliant James Sommerin’s Penarth experience numerous times it was time to see what else Wales had...

Simple amazing. Best food ever loved it We had the tasting menu, it was all delicious. Tried things I'd never heard of and loved that a lot was foraged locally.

Fabulous night out had by all. As is often the way with a tasting menu, you’ll experience food you wouldn’t necessarily be brave enough to order. The Severn and Wye eel was one I wasn’t sure about which ended up being my favourite. However it’s...

We visited the Whitebrook for lunch last Sunday and it was a triumph! We had the full tasting menu but opted out of the wine flight. Instead asking for a wine recommendation. The sommelier spent time with us understanding what kind of wine we enjoyed...

We just had the most wonderful meal and stay at The Whitebrook for my parents belated 70th Birthdays. Having had to delay our visit due to covid, it was well worth the wait!! The setting is stunning, even on a wet autumn day and the...

I’m actually very surprised to read the negative reviews below. It is a million miles away from our experience. We had a fabulous evening at The Whitebrook last night. The restaurant is a perfect balance of being simple and unpretentious, combined with superb service and...

A beautiful meal as always, with well-paired and interesting wines. Two waiters in particular were excellent, one Romanian and one Polish (sorry, have lost their names). We stayed over this time, arriving just after 4pm for a meal at 8pm and intending to use the...

I can see from other recent reviews that this restaurant/ hotel currently has a problem with service, but what I experienced over the weekend was beyond awful. I actually hate to criticise a local business (I think previously I have only ever give five star...

We stayed here on our way for a holiday in Devon and Cornwall and also to visit relatives in Chepstow Although marred by a family disaster we were disappointed for other reasons The room was fine and breakfast good - black pudding definitely to be...

When we checked in on our wedding anniversary, we were told to be down at 7.30pm for drinks so they could ‘seat us and get us started’ on the meal at 8pm. We did as we were told and at 7.50 we were moved to...
