I was able to book the Garden Room for private hire for a family celebration. The team at Chalk were fantastic from start to finish with the organisation, the room looked beautiful andthe set menu we were able to choose from had great choice and was delicious on the day.

Beautiful Thai food, authentic and full of flavour. We had veggy green curry and rice takeaway for two andxwe will certainly be back. Best we've ever had!

We had a family Christmas party here on the weekend and what a fabulous experience it was. We are local to the Bird in Hand so we stayed at home but there were a few others coming from across the UK, and they had lots of compliments for the rooms here. We had our own dining room for the party - at no extra charge which was an added bonus - which meant there was less stress about making too much noise for other guests. The food from their festive menu was delicious and we had a selection of wine on the table for when we arrived - also lovely. The service was fantastic too, everyone very friendly and welcoming. We were the last ones up (having a good catch up!) and although the team were packing down for the evening, they never made us feel like we had to leave. A real skill in itself. Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful weekend - everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Removed meal deal so now a burger is insanely expensive

We ordered dinner for a small adult group' Delivered to the doorstep locally. Certainly recommended because it is not the first time we have chosen this restaurant. If you love curry dishes or Bangladeshi cooking you will not be disappointed.

Stayed here years ago so new of it The room we had was drab and could have done with a paint job the carpet was dirty the bed i was in was broken and squeaked every time i moved Breakfast in the morning was help yourselves but we had to ask another quest my daughter asked for some toast and we waited to see if they were going ask if we wanted cooked breakfast they did ask if we wanted brown or white toast but not do we want a cooked breakfast When we went to hand keys in no one there so handed to a lady i think she was the cleaner Date of visit May2018

Visited for a family birthday meal. Service was very good and clearly a big pull is the cocktail menu. The cocktails were well presented and interesting. But I can’t relate to the other rave reviews about the food. The menu is very limited - basically burgers, mini pizzas or salad for a main course. Starters were a bit more interesting but nothing special and at the top end price wise. In the main indoor area - if you like a noisy atmosphere then you will be fine, but the music made conversation difficult. All in all I’d say distinctly average and the food is definitely not worth going out of your way for.

We thought the Chinese where we live (rural Scotland) was bad. Surprised that the food was very similar here. Bog standard stuff

Great food and service! I love that you can "build your own breakfast" and also the fact that the breakfasts are still available at lunch time which is a rare find these days. Will definitely go back when I'm next in the area!

We came for the Halloween Afternoon Tea and the spooky trail. Parking was easy and the hotel itself looked really luxurious. We were greeted warmly at reception and directed to the Briar, a building in the grounds. The decoration was spectacular, the whole room was properly themed and very spooky! Lots of families were dressed up and there was a great atmosphere. Even the soundtrack had been planned perfectly. Unfortunately, the food for the afternoon tea was really unpleasant. I’d booked over the phone stating I was a vegetarian and reminded staff on arrival that I didn’t eat meat or fish, but I was still served salmon sandwiches. It was so dark in the room that we had to use the torch on my phone to find the food on the stand and in the gloom I took a fishy bite before I realised what I’d been given That made me feel quite sick. Although some extra cheese sandwiches were then kindly offered to make up for it, I was really put off and couldn’t bring myself to eat them in the end. You’d need to be very careful if you were visiting with an allergy or intolerance. Overall, everything seemed a bit limp and stale. The cakes were all too soggy and sickly, even my sugar loving children didn’t enjoy them. There was only one very tiny piece of candy floss between two of them and cutting it in half was a challenge. It got smushed in the process, so then no one wanted it. The best bit were the scones, which were genuinely nice. Our waitress was lovely, but when we ordered refill drinks (which were served by someone else) the squash arrived for one child and never came for the other. We struggled to get the attention of the staff to fix this, but luckily the child dealt with the situation by drinking the milk that had come in a jug with my tea. Unusually for afternoon tea, there’s no choice of teas. There’s also a mandatory 12.5% service charge which was not identified at the time of booking and wasn’t shown on the menu or the website. I don’t agree with forced tipping and this wasn’t a situation where I anticipated hidden charges. Also £7.50 was a larger tip than I wanted to leave, but I didn’t want to make a scene. So I paid nearly £70 for one adult and two children including the service charge and I didn’t feel the food was worth it by a long way. The trail was brilliant. Lots of thought had been put in to it and the creepy walk through the woods and the severed heads in the pond took it to a new level. We came back to see the friendly receptionist- now in character and wearing a mask - for a chocolate prize. I feel so bad that I can’t rate this five stars, because every member of staff was pleasant and helpful and the surroundings were gorgeous. If there was an option to do the trail without the food, we’d love to come back again.

DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES First and last time using this place. Totally ignorant on food safety and handling rules. Ordered a doner meal, asked for chili sauce. Wife saw her putting wrong sauce on. She clearly only owned up as she saw my wife was watching. I specifically asked for the meal to be remade. Not my error and I said I didn't want the other sauce. She grudgingly walks back to the area the doner meat is. Within 30 seconds she's back. I asked is that fresh, you've not just chucked the bits away to be promised no. I asked twice as there was no way she had remade it. Got home, no drink which we paid for. Box is covered in the wrong sauce. Meat has the wrong sauce still. Dinner in the bin. Imagine if this was an allergen issue, rather than just a preference? Totally unacceptable, dangerous and against all good practice. The attitude of the guy serving was rude, had to repeat my small order several times and he clearly has no customer service skills. Won't be returning.

Lovely staff and great choice of snacks/ cakes and coffees including vegan ones. Just wish someone would deep clean the toilets as they are pretty dire. Otherwise can’t fault the place for atmosphere and hard working staff.

We ordered a Keralan Fish Curry and a Rogan Josh. Bothe tasted much the same - bland. Not an experience we would wish to repeat.
