Winslade Manor, Restaurant And Bar in East Devon

The atmosphere of the restaurant is better than the food

Never been before, so as our first try we were super impressed! Excellent food and excellent service, will definitely return.

Had Dinner with my family and parents a few days ago and was blown away. The food was amazing and the staff took excellent care of us. The manager himself was incredibly attentive and really made our evening. My girlfriend has an allergy that is sometimes difficult but they really knew their stuff when it came to allergens and offered her a wide range of choices which was so nice because usually she gets railroaded into only a single option for her. We ate off of the elegant dining menu and I was very impressed. I had the pork belly, the duck and the dark chocolate mousse and I would say I was savoring every bite but honestly I couldn't eat it fast enough. The duck with the dates and orange was a wonderful balance, and then having the dark chocolate for dessert to balance with the sweetness of my main. The manager was took excellent care of us always making sure we had water, clearing our plates promptly after each course and was an absolute pleasure to have a conversation with, and all of the other staff seemed very friendly, making the atmosphere very positive. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful evening I cannot wait to return when I am next in Devon

I took my wife for a surprise treat and I have to say we had a fantastic and enjoyable experience, the food was absolutely superb along with the warm,friendly and professional service , made it a wonderful evening . I will definitely come again.

My husband and I have been here a couple of times and we rated this our favourite place to have roast. We rated this so high to our friends that they were excited to go. We turned up at 12 and walked into the reception were we found no staff to book us in. luckily we have been here before and went to the bar. our table was booked at 1215 we decided to have a drink while we waited for our friends to join us,plenty of staff behind the bar who brought us a menu and took our drink order. Our friends turned up and rang us as they didn’t know where to go. My husband had to collect them from the front door. My husband had to get a menu and order our friend’s drinks. We were shown to our table by a lovely girl and she took our order. I had to ask for water even though the restaurant was empty. We all ordered a roast I have to say it wasn’t on par with our previous experiences. roast potatoes were like leather. I love rare beef but this was hard to cut and very chewy. The fat was thick and lumpy and I had to discard half my beef. My friends were underwhelmed,especially as we said this was a different level of Sunday lunch.Nothing overly offensive,just disappointed this once exceptional venue has slipped into an expensive mediocre experience 🫣I do have to say the blonde waitress is a credit to your business she has always been friendly,professional and a lovely bit of banter.

Been thinking of visiting for quite some time and decided to finally pay a visit for “Elegant Dining” . Greeted by a very casually dressed almost scruffy tattooed although pleasant young man which we thought a bit odd for the Dining experience we were anticipating. The Dining room lacked any atmosphere and as has been mentioned before, the artwork over the fireplace doesn’t suit in any way. Service was friendly but poor and the food was mediocre, in particular the fabulous looking Tonka Bean Panna Cotta was anything but sadly, it was 3 small balls of solid panna cotta covered in white chocolate with a ball of vanilla ice cream smothered in a flavourless mint green coloured powder, 2 alleged poached pear and toasted almonds, it was very strange, very dry, bland and not at all pleasant, after a few attempts to eat after struggling to get into the balls as appeared to have possibly been frozen, I really couldn’t eat it, it isn’t what one expects a panne cotta to be. The slick Social Media presentations most certainly didn’t live up to expectations it couldn’t have been further from it in reality sadly.

First visit, friend took me for supper. Outstanding. Food excellent. The young lady from the bar gave excellent advice and her recommendation of a good red wine was spit on. Have told friend about your venue and we are going to visit. On my doorstep and was not aware. Well done

Lovely building and decor but lacked atmosphere. We were seated early in the dining room,the only ones at first as there was no room in the bar. It felt cold and quiet at first,some nice music would have helped. We decided to choose from the lunchtime ( not the elegant menu). It seemed quite a small choice actually so 2 of the five decided to choose one of the specials. ( A £10 supplement for a very small lemon sole) It was good but not worth the extra!!! We waited ages for our food to arrive as the room filled up with customers who I think were there on business so everyone was actually eating and some finished before ours arrived!! ( I had booked the table in advance for a special birthday ,they said they would make a note. I had booked for five but they had only reserved a table for 4 ) but it was never acknowledged. Poor customer relations. The food was not really hot enough, lukewarm plates, didn't help. The room was chilly. We kept our jackets on throughout. We decided to forego dessert and have coffee in the bar. This time it was empty. Everyone except one went for regular coffee. Lukewarm!! Cold milk!! My mother wanted a Tia Maria liqueur coffee. They didn't have any!!! Unbelievable! . So she asked for a coffee with a Bailey's on the side. It was the smallest measure I have ever seen. Way overpriced. However the young barman who served us was charming and realised it was a birthday lunch and actually acknowledged this . The only one,so Thankyou.The final disappointment ( surprise) was when the bill arrived it had added on 25% vat. The prices on the menu did not say " plus vat" I do believe it should have been made clear. That's a huge extra on a £150 bill. Overall a bit disappointed. Would probably go again for a snack lunch only on a warm day.

Party of 6 of us went to Winslade to celebrate my friends birthday, first off I must say we had a great evening. Few little things my starter of poached egg on black pudding was very nice.. it did have bacon on the top which was not mentioned, my wife had the squid with aoili which was very much like butter (maybe that's there take on it), my fish coarse of sea bass was delicious, mains I had Duck with honey & 5 spice sauce..cooked perfectly, I ordered a side of potatoes rosti which arrived they were very similar to chunky chips, luke warm and very crunchy with a drizzle of truffle mayo (I should of sent them back, big didn't my bad) , wifey had the salmon fishcake topped with a soft boiled egg which she thoroughly enjoyed, one of our party had plaice which he loved, two others had the chicken breast which was good. The desserts were beautiful. I feel the dinning room lacks a bit of atmosphere in my opinion, in saying that the interior is very tasteful, the service was good, to sum up lots of good positive points but a few not so good which is why I gave the experience 4 instead of 5 stars.

Great location and surroundings the beef Fillet was fantastic went 4 the 4 courses But the fish dish you needed a magnifying Glass too find it a rip of for £10 so overall Not too bad but improvements needed too Justify the high prices they charge not sure That I would rush back .

One of the best meals I've had in a long time! Coming from France, I have found it difficult to experience high quality and affordable food here, however this was comparable to a Michelin star restaurant whilst remaining affordable. Amazing atmosphere and service, definitely a go to if you are in the area, I will be thinking about this meal for a long time.

The food was really really good and the service was top notch. Highly recommended and cater's well for Vegans and vegetarians.

The food was absolutely fantastic, the starter I had was the goat cheese and it was delicate and a delight to eat. I had the fillet of beef and oh my god it was so tender and tasty, each element tasted different. The pudding was very nice just a bit too sweet. The staff were lovely, very friendly and tried hard to answer our questions. The only slight criticism is the service was a little bit slow. That was not a big thing, I would definitely go there again.

Went to Winslade Manor for brunch on a Saturday morning. I booked but there was no need as it was very quiet. We both had smashed avocados and poached eggs on sourdough toast. The food was lovely and presented beautifully. Sat outside on the terrace. Staff were very attentive. Beautiful decor and surroundings.

The food was okay. The service was very poor. No cleaning of the table after each course, we sat and waited 30mins after eating a course for them to take our plates away (and we had to ask!) Waited 45 minutes for them to take our dessert plates away and another 20 minutes for the bill.

A beautiful Manor and superb food must have some very qualified chefs, definitely 5 stars. Although the waiting staff were very pleasant we felt staff could be smarter dressed for that quality restaurant. We started the evening with Prosecco the empty glasses were left on the table. Lovely folded white napkins but terrible cutlery more like school canteen cutlery. The decor of the dining room with beautiful ceiling and curtains was lovely, tables need an update. There is an horrendous out of place picture over marble fireplace which spoils the look. Would l go again? Yes definitely for the food it just needs an experienced banqueting manager.

Had sharing platter Sunday roast not cheap but amazing 5 meats and all the veggies you can eat all cooked perfectly

Have been previously and it was very good. Called in yesterday for lunch with a friend. The food was excellent. The staff sadly were not. All stood around talking, ignored us even though we were the only people in the bar area. Even worse, the manager was one of them. Won’t be bothering again.

The place was dirty and grubby and not what you’d expect from an event. The room was poor sound levels horrendous but mainly because they packed too many people into the event ( 150) Food was poor apart from the main course. Had to ask for a steak knife or couldn’t cut the beef. Not a place I’d return to so not recommended. Got 2 stars as the staff were nice they tried hard.

Perfect place for a dinner. Amazing food. Amazing location. I stayed at the Courtyard Exeter hotel and needed a place to eat. Did nit want to go in town and found this gem. I highly recommend to go. Hope to return one day.

Expensive but excellent. This was a family gathering to celebrate a wedding and " top notch" in every aspect is all that I can say.

The very best chef/food in the area - that includes Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Topsham and Exeter. It’s pricey, but totally worth it. We’ve have had so many disappointing dining experiences over the last couple of years, but this isn’t one of them. It’s a great setting and the staff are all brilliant too. If you haven’t been, check it out. I had the most incredible filet steak, we had calamari, duck, chicken liver parfait, seabass, scotch eggs - all excellent, washed down with white Rioja and a delicious Portuguese red. Superb.

Cannot fault this place! Absolutely amazing food, amazing service, Lucy I looked after us and made us feel so special! Cannot wait to come back! 🤩

Strange delays when requesting drinks etc with plenty of staff available but no action tzken??

Great value Sunday lunch with an endless supply of vegetables

High end eatery and venue for coffee, drinks socialising.

A lovely location with a friendly and attentive team. We had excellent food would highly recommend a visit.

This is the best restaurant we have been to in Devon for months, and possibly approaching a year. The food and wine is fantastic and we were recommended some great, and unusual pairings. Completely recommend for proper foodies!

Afternoon Tea.(Baby Shower).. Very disappointed in a Savoury Afternoon Tea today it consisted of 4 Finger Sandwiches and 4 small pieces like Salmon Tuna sort of things.. Not sure why and how 4 small cake bites and scones came in to the Savoury Tea? At £35 I wouldn’t pay that again in a hurry..

Just wanted to say thank you to Gabriel for being so wonderful today at our lunch booking ! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and of course the service was top class ! 10/10 from us !

My partner and I went to have dinner last week and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service. Special thanks to the Restaurant Manager who was so polite and friendly- and provided us with a wonderful service!

This was our first time in the Manor restaurant but have been to a few events in the Forge and the experience was lovely!! The food was fantastic and the service was brilliant.We really felt looked after .Thank also to the manager in restaurant- he was amazing ( fairly new to winslade ) We cant wait to book again.

We have very much enjoyed Sunday lunch here in the past, either with family or a larger group of friends. Today our table was booked for 2pm, we joined our group in the bar just before 2, and after a long wait were served with a drink. We were invited to go to our table at 2:30, and finally served with our pre-ordered food at 2:40. The roast lunch was OK, but not up to the standard we expected, and the service continued to be poor. We could probably have enjoyed a Sunday roast in our local pub for half the price.

Very lovely place, delicious food and very welcoming staff, always a pleasure coming here for brunch or a fancy dinner!

Beautiful experience, warm atmosphere, friendly professional and knowledgeable staff - Lucy was great - knew the foods in detail and able to explain things about prep and ingredients, nothing was too much trouble, attentive without being over-bearing, food absolutely gorgeous - duck delicious, burger unbelievable and the best creme brûlée I’ve ever tasted - I’ve lived in exeter for 20yrs and it was our first time at WM - HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thankyou

Lovely building, beautiful grounds, great service, great barman, just 👍

We’ve visited Windslade Manor several times and can honestly say the food has always been top notch! Last night we went for our Anniversary meal and we had a delightful evening. The portions are generous and the food is faultless. The main thing for us was that you actually get a good portion of meat/fish, this, to my partner, is a game changer as he is often disappointed that it isn’t enough. Unlike a lot of other well-known a la carte restaurants where you can often leave hungry, we did not! The staff were professional and couldn’t have done enough for us and the drinks were presented beautifully in nice cold glasses. We look forward to coming back!

I recently was asked to speak at The Forge for a Breakfast meeting organised by BCR Breakfasts. The venu was fabulous and afterwards I used the coworking space for meetings and working on a project. The atmosphere was fabulous, met some interesting people and when I needed some food the selection was great - and the coffee was great too!

A real treat, excellent quality food and options you do not normally see on a menu beautifully presented. Just the right level of service, attentive without being intrusive. The duck main course was amazing as was the cherry & dark chocolate mouse The room was like a home from home with a log fire and well-spaced tables. The drinks menu was extensive with some great soft drink options - I tried the blackberry sherbet and ginger beer it was a good choice. Nicely spaced gaps between courses so we didn't feel rushed Plenty of onsite parking and a lovely relaxed evening

Had a delightful evening meal at Winslade Manor. Beautifully restored Georgian building creating a real mood for an evening out. Our server (Char) was really impressive: warm, knowledgeable and unusually had eaten most of the dishes (including specials) so was really able to guide us. The food itself was delicious: local produce, beautifully cooked and artistically presented. We had smoked pork belly starter, main courses of duck and venison and a pudding of chocolate and cherry mousses. All supported by a lovely organic Prosecco. The evening was fantastic value at £80 for the two of us on their half price January deal. We can’t wait to return.

Not sure what has happened to this place but the service last night was pretty poor. A very slow service, after a 20 minute wait I had to ask for a menu. No explanation of the menu just, ‘it’s what it says on the menu’, no enthusiasm shown by staff. Really disappointing. Food was fine but not good enough to come back to what I experienced. Shame.

Great restaurant and even better cocktails. The staff are wonderful and the gentleman that made our drinks was the icing on the cake, personally sitting with us and showing us different rum(alongside the history of that bottle). Thanks cocktail man... he was possibly called Kevin

I had arranged an afternoon tea for four for my Mum’s 70th birthday. I don’t live in the area and Lucy was very helpful about me sending some decorations down for them to decorate. Our table was beautifully decorated ready for our arrival, my Mum was so surprised! The food was lovely, they were very attentive and had the dietary requirements spot on. They didn’t charge extra for the soft drinks we had and surprised my mum with a complimentary glass of bubbles. We had a lovely afternoon and she felt very spoilt. I definitely would recommend!

For a restaurant with a michelin star you'd expect better. Every dish was OK but nothing amazing, dessert was 8/10 though, £150 bill for two people with no alcohol. Surprised to see them serving frozen wholesale salt and pepper squid, identical to my local pub.

We had the most amazing meal today. Service is 5*, the food is amongst the best I’ve ever eaten, the drinks were amazing (plus the non alcoholic aperitif - chefs kiss!) what a hidden gem?! Staff were delightful, the whole place was gorgeous, honestly couldn’t fault it. 5* all round 10/10 recommmed. Very reasonable too.

Decided to stop off in Exeter on our way to Salcombe for the weekend and wanted to get things off to a great start, with a fine dining experience. Winslade Manor is very grand. A beautiful building in lush grounds, presenting quite a site as you approach in the early evening darkness. It's equally grand inside with plenty of smiles to welcome you. We opted for the taster menu (in some ways to compare to our favourite haunts in Cardiff), accompanied with a bottle of English sparkling wine (a Lyme Bay Winery Brut Reserva, which was fantastic). As expected, the courses were well crafted, rich and flavourful - some a little too much (brie and truffle oil), but other striking just the right balance (the red mullet course and the Dartmoor venison with celeriac and blue cheese and pear amazing highlights). Overall, a lovely meal, in lovely surroundings - and we also enjoyed the eclectic mix of background music including some 80s and 90s classics (the barman's playlist apparently).

I recently performed at The Forge at Winslade Manor for the Devon Women In Business Awards. As an entertainer, I meet lots of events teams and I must say, the team at Winslade have the BEST energy and enthusiasm for their clients and suppliers. I was made to feel so welcome and they regularly checked in with me to make sure I was hydrated, fed and comfortable all before, during & after my performance! The evening party was enhanced because of the incredible team here. They were impressively efficient in catering to the guests and nothing was too much trouble. I very much look forward to returning to the venue and if you're interested in hosting an event / wedding here, it's ideal for intimate & larger occasions, so I would highly recommend!

Lovely food, an experience! Bit pricey!

We went to Winslade for a birthday afternoon tea. Overall we were impressed and thought it was good quality. £35 did seem like a lot but we were impressed that our drinks were included in the total even when we asked for a second round and one of us was drinking soft drinks instead of hot drinks. They catered very well for gluten free and the only tiny disappointment was that the gluten free sandwiches were plain and didn’t include condiments like mustard or pickle etc. But perhaps the chef wasn’t sure if these were gluten free. The gluten free scones were very good. The service was friendly and although it took a while for our drinks order to be taken at the start, it was efficient after that.

This was our second visit for a sunday lunch ,Not the cheapest roast around, but the food was top quality and plentiful.

Went to the taster menu Game night. Absolutely stunning. Throughly enjoyed the menu which although rich was not at all heavy. Wine flight again really well paired with the courses. Interesting evening with Matt Mason and Matt our wine sommelier providing information on the courses, meat sources and wines. Would thoroughly recommend. Excellent value for money and a really enjoyable evening.

IN THE RESTUARANT, WE WERE SEATED NEXT TO A TABLE OF FOUR BUSINESS MEN. THEY TALKED, INCESSANTLY FOR ONE AND A HALF HOURS BEFORE THEN HAVING A LIGHT SNACK TO CONTINUE THEIR TALKING. WHY WERE THEY IN THE RESTAURANT AND NOT IN THE ALMOST EMPTY, GENEROUS BAR AREA? WE WERE A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT WE WERE EXPECTED TO ORDER OUR TABLE WINE BEFORE WE HAD EVEN HAD A GLIMPSE AT A MENU! WE THOUGHT THAT THE THE CHOICES OF MAIN COURSES WERE DISSAPPOINTING. THIS ELEGANT BUILDING IS IN A VERY FINE SETTING. HOWEVER, THE LUNCHEON DID NOT LIVE UP TO EXPECTATIONS - PITY.

3 of us went for a Sunday lunch. Staff most friendly and welcoming on arrival. We ordered from the Sunday lunch menu and the food was absolutely wonderful. Beautifully presented and tasted amazing! The first time we’ve all ate here but I’m sure it won’t be the last!

I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone! We had a big graduation dinner with 17 people about three months ago, and this spot was just perfect. From making the reservation to sitting down for dinner, the staff was welcoming and accommodating for everyone of us. The food was amazing and it's a fantastic deal for the quality you get. Plus, we had a pretty view to enjoy while we dined,. Honestly, there's no reason not to like this place. I can't wait to go back.

Having received good reports from friends we made our first visit today.Really excellent lunch in attractive surroundings- every mouthful was delicious (smoked duck starter, rack of lamb main and sticky date pud) Seated and served by a charming young man who also offered some useful wine suggestions. They went out of their way to accommodate my garlic sensitivity - very impressed. Great choice and volume of music too. Looking forward now to our lunch already booked for Dec 24th😋🎄

Very disappointing. 2 items on the menu not available to start with! Meat cold. Plates arrived cold

We were recommended it here by a friend, so decided to give it a go. And we were so glad we did! We were greeted by the lovely staff who showed us to the bar area where we had some wine and a browse at the menus. Charlie was very informative and told us some history of the house, and he showed us to our table. There was lovely music and candlelight. We had 3 courses and honestly couldn’t fault it. Particularly the filet of beef which was so tender and perfectly cooked. It was by far the best steak we’d had in years, Charlie was attentive and fun, and made my husband and I feel extra special. We had a wonderful night and will definitely come back soon.

Fantastic food fantastic service and the best place for any occasion we love it here .

Amazing place, Excellent set menu, Brilliant service from Charlie and his team today. Thoroughly enjoyed, thank you.

Chose Winslade to catch up with friends for Sunday Lunch- a great choice The food was exceptional and all served nice and hot Innovative starters amazing mains and delicious desserts Perfect wines to complement our lunch All staff were friendly helpful and professional Our main server Jane was perfect Very smiley and made us all feel special We’ll be back very soon Thank you

Have made several visits to this place and had excellent food and service. However this experience was poor. I usually do not post poor reviews and in this case emailed the restaurant privately to give them my feedback. As they could not be bothered to acknowledge my email or reply I have resorted to posting on here. Soup was watery and no bread served. Main course was inedible. The lack of service meant it was very difficult to address the issues at the time, as waiters fussed over the cream tea diners and ignored the rest. By the time I managed to wave down a passing waiter, their offer to replace my main was rather pointless as my partner had finished his meal. They did remove the cost of the main meal, but the poor service, no goodbye or thank you on the way out and the lack of a email response indicates to me that something has changed at this place in the way they value their customers. Such a shame as I thought I had found a regular place to visit.

We came here for a meal on Saturday night and it was the perfect way to celebrate our first anniversary. A member of staff brought us two glasses of champagne and wished us a happy anniversary on arrival, which was such a nice touch and...

Gorgeous setting, sat out on the cool terrace area which was beautiful on this warm September evening. DJ playing some tunes which was a nice added touch. The staff were knowledgeable and really friendly. Nothing was to much trouble, we went with our 2 children...

We booked for a table of 7 people for a wedding lunch. I cannot rate Winslade Manor highly enough. Attention to detail from staff, hot, delicious food and a personal touch given it was our wedding day. I felt really looked after here and nothing was too much. We had a table booked from 13:30-15:30 but ending up staying until 6pm with no questions asked! Highly recommend for a special occasion. Thank you for looking after us!

Amazing food - but the service was painfully slow and haphazard. We were the first to enter the restaurant but 5 tables were served first and their meals seemed to arrive promptly but ours took ages. A another negative was we were there for 30...

I contacted the restaurant before booking to ensure they could cater for gluten, lactose intolerances AND nut allergy ahead of time and they confirmed they could. In fact they suggested that they relished the challenge. A week ahead of our visit I asked if they...

I celebrated my 30th birthday here with a group of friends for brunch and the staff made it a really excellent experience, on top of the incredible food

Amazing find! Great place to have a cuppa and watch some cricket on a Saturday afternoon!

1)Hidden gem that is a great gastronomic feast once found. Once found, being operative words. I have googled 'new places to eat' since 2000 and never has this delightful place appeared. A friend happened to mention they'd had tea here and I was on the case. She tried to direct us, but I got it woefully wrong, driving endlessly round an estate and then towards Topsham. I was trying to look for a sign, any sign, that said Winslade Manor but could not see one. The photos are a suggestion of the type of sign that could help. Even my SatNav and GP'S had us all over the place. Our Waitress said she had had the same problem. 2) Service. Our waitress was amusing, efficient, prompt, knowledgeable, considerate and kind. 3) Decor. The decor is amazing. It could be picked up and put down in Pall Mall or St James' and not be found wanting. It is chic, contemporary, but sympathetic, retaining original features. For a comparison of how NOT to 'renovate' I thought of the Pig at Coombe, Gittisham. An Elizabethan building totally wrecked. At least here, someone knew what they were doing and it shows. 4) Food. The food is a work of art and delicious. To present a course so elegantly, yet sufficient to satisfy a good appetite, is a real skill. No measly nouvelle cuisine here. The puddings oooh! Absolutely superb!. A word on Menus, both of us wear glasses and did struggle a bit. I don't know the font, but most fonts run from 1 to 48 or something, I would suggest if this was on 8, say, moving it to 11? Only a wee bit bigger would make a lot of difference for people with poor eyesight. I have cataracts and found it tricky. I could have asked for the waitress to read it out, but felt shy of that although sure she would have done. 5)Loos. Amazing. Decor wonderful, clean and sweet. 6) Carpark. Easy, oodles of space and well maintained. 7) Would we return. Having now found it, YES.

Lovely roast with a lovely desert. Worth a visit

Exquisite quality, fabulous service, relaxed atmosphere, fantastic value for money, incredible cocktails! Go as soon as possible! You only live once!!

Absolutely gorgeous bottomless lunch. Everything from our first cocktail on arrival to our bottomless lunch was divine. I have not had an experience quite like it. Staff are amazing the 2 waiting staff on duty on 22nd July and the cocktail guy make the whole...

Highly recommend. Delicious food and drink. Relaxed staff who made it a lovely experience. Barman mixed me a cocktail of his own invention. Came to celebrate a graduation and had the best evening.

Such beautiful surroundings and the food is wonderful. Such a vast range and you can choose from light bites through to a 10 course tasting. There really is something for everyone, and everyone should visit this quality restaurant at very affordable prices. Great ambience and...

Easily one of the best places to enjoy great food in Devon. Great service and good wine menu. Particularly good on a summers day with the cricket playing outside. Highly recommended!

Excellent Sunday roast, Friendly staff tho service a little slow. Absolutely awful piece of abstract art dominating the dining room. Thought the whole place tastelessly decorated. This however didn’t detract from the very delicious food

The food and service at this out of the way restaurant is superb. We recently enjoyed the Turbet special and asparagus. Lovely sunny day so we sat out side enjoying long Cocktails Campari Spritz and blackcurrant crumble. (Yes it’s a cocktail) which are well presented....

Afternoon tea was a special treat and as such well worth the price. The food was superb see the photos) and the staff were charming - nothing was too much for them. The only hiccup was finding the access for wheelchair users. But for that I would have given them 3 perfect 5s. I would definitely return for a special occasion.

Came here today for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. This is a beautiful old manor house; very tastfully decorated with both inside restaurant and large sunny patio area. On arrival we were greeted by helpful smiley staff and the service was excellent throughout our...

Great food, a varied menu backed up by excellent service We went early when the restaurant had just opened so it lacked a little atmosphere with the lack of other diners but the facilities are excellent.

I have visited this restaurant on several occasions and always found the food to be excellent, again the food was faultless. Unfortunately this most recent visit was somewhat hampered by being sat in the dining room nearest the bar, this saw a constant flow of...

I went to Winslade Manor for a networking event. I was impressed by the ample parking and stunning entrance. The event included drinks outside and since it was a lovely Spring Day, it was a perfect opportunity to take in the views. Strange to think it is located so close to the city centre but with modern country feel. The event also included food and it was outstanding. Thank you, Chef, for the tasty lunch, especially the duck parfait starter. I will certainly recommend it as a place for future events.

We had a large networking lunch on 23 May. The food was absolutely delicious. Considering the quantity they had to get out, each dish was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. I have already recommended the restaurant to several colleagues and friends. I will most certainly...

Came here for a networking lunch and to say the food was divine would be an understatement, stunning venue, staff and food!

Lovely food, great service! Matts a great chef always been a fan, does everything so well and lots of attention to detail.

If you want a balance of everything that is so right out of any place I have been to, Winslade Manor is the one. It is. Why else am I here? I will always be coming back!

I don’t know how to put this place into words. I’ve been out many times for drinks and a few times for food and it always feels like it’s the first time I’ve ever been there. It have a cracking menu and the food tastes...

Lovely food great service will be back, loved it the cocktail was the highlight for me totally recommended

Couldn’t recommend enough. Celebrated a 30th Birthday with the family - Charlie and Matt went above and beyond, making it a 10/10 experience. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Lovely food in a lovely venue, very friendly and helpful staff great all round

I have been visiting Winslade manor since they opened, I have always been impressed by the food, cocktails and impressive setting. During the school holidays recently , I was passing with my 2 children between 3-4pm and phoned on the off chance they might be serving food when no one else was they said no problem, the kitchen wasn’t officially open but they could definitely sort lunch for us, had a table for us and even asked the kitchen to make something special for my children. 5 star service! Recommend without hesitation. Thank you so much.

Beautiful food in an opulent setting with great service

Absolutely incredible experience at Winslade Manor today for my sisters baby shower. The food was spectacular, good portion sizes, beautifully prepared and served. The service was great, the waiters and waitresses were kind and went above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend there enough! I’ve now booked in for Sunday lunch! Can’t wait to return! Keep up the good work

The building was lovely and wonderful. Unfortunately, the service was poor and the food ridiculous. Wasted my time and money.

We celebrated a friends 60th with a surprise Afternoon Tea at Winslade Manor. The service was great as was the food. The sandwiches were delicious, extremely fresh and the scones were amazing too. The extra little sweet treats were lovely. My friends hadn’t been to...

An incredible evening at Winslade Manor. 7 course taster menu with paired wines was delicious and elegant. The team were incredibly accommodating and made the evening special. Would highly recommend.

This was our second visit and both occasions were amazing. Booking was easy and we turned up to a welcome greeting. The location is outstanding with ample parking and the building is beautiful. On our second visit we decided to opt for the 7 course taster menu and it was just WOW. Every dish was packed full of flavour and presented beautifully. Hours of prep must of been done to achieve the level of flavours and texture. Each part complimented the whole taste explosion on your mouth. Our waiter was Charlie. He was a wonderful. Nothing was too much effort and what ever we asked for we got from tailor made cocktails to a history of the building and restaurant. He advised us to book a taxi early being a Saturday night and he took care of this for us. If you are looking for a next level dining experience then Windslade Manor is your place. We like our food and have tried a lot of places and this place blows the others out the window. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Excellent 5 course meal thank you to chef Matt Mason and Matt serving and all the other staff who made my mothers 88 birthday a special treat.
