Sunday lunch with daughter and boyfriend special venue with special company thoroughly enjoyed the whole day

Booked a table for Sunday lunch on Saturday and was very glad that we did so. Everything about the experience was lovely. Excellent and friendly hospitality, our waitress had a lovely personality and was very efficient. The food was really well cooked and nicely presented and hot. All in all a fabulous place for those as hoc Sunday lunches served in a homely style and lively surroundings. Highly recommended.

I have been here several times for afternoon tea, and have always been delighted. Two savouries were served, a quiche and a small sausage roll. These were very good. The sandwiches however left me underwhelmed. The fillings of tuna, cheese and pickle, coronation chicken and a tomato are something I would serve at home. Whoever had made them was not overly generous with the fillings either. As for the bread, I can't say it was old, more likely made early and not covered so it had dried on the outside. The cakes were good, but not exceptional. Service was friendly, but they appeared to be short staffed as the scones took ages to arrive. We also waited nearly 15 minutes after requesting the bill, before we could pay. I was intending to come again for my birthday in a few weeks, but will look elsewhere.

Great food- poor service.. Visited over the Christmas Period with family and friends; food was great; however the service wasn’t; starters took ages to arrive; one waitress dropped the starter so we had to wait for it to be cooked again( not a problem) half way through our dessert we were asked if wanted our bill even though we hadn’t finished eating; When the bill arrived we had been charged the wrong amount and the bill was printed without the total; so we had to ask twice… table behind us complained food was cold; and another table their preorders hadn’t been done; the chef apologised to the couple; Like I said the food was great; service needs to reviewed as it spoils the overall experience and was a complete letdown on what could be a good restaurant experience…

Have to say the experience was something of a mixed bag, but one thing that shone out was the attitude of the barmaid, who was superb. Our initial drinks (beer) were rather cloudy and tended towards sour. The barrel was changed and all was good. On food, I opted for the pie of the day, a boeuf bourginon variant with mash and veg. The veg were roasted and very good, both texture and flavour. The pie was very small and of disproportionate pastry amount. What filling there was, was tasty but did not constitute a main meal portion.

Friendly accommodating staff superb food great surroundings highly recommend a visit

Hogarths Stone Manor We first visited Hogarths Stone Manor in December 2023 to view wedding facilities. We were met by Tess a wedding liaison/planner. This venue was the first we had visited and I booked it there and then for a September 2024 wedding. Tess professionally guided us through our options and we decided to have a twilight wedding. Tess was the reason we booked, apart from the superb venue and team around her. She managed the organisation to a minute level. This took so much anxiety away. We are a decisive couple and quickly decided on decoration, entertainment, fireworks and magician. We had an incredible day. The team at Hogarths could not do enough. Special mention to Chris who took over from Tess when her shift finished. Thank you Hogarths for giving us and our guests the best wedding ever. Food, accommodation and service all perfect All the team at Stone manor Thank you

Great people, even better food!

Nice hotel, shame no restaurant

Poor Preparation lead to a Piss Poor Performance! Meals at The Granary used to be fantastic, the venue used to be immaculate and you would always receive excellent customer service. My visit today with my family was totally the opposite, in fact it was disgraceful. My parents booked as it was my grandfather’s 85th birthday and we as a family were expecting the same standards that we had experienced here previously. Our booking had been made a few weeks prior yet the organisation and preparation was disgraceful. Upon arrival we were shown to our tables in the restaurant, nobody else was in the restaurant except our party and a table of three (this should’ve rang alarm bells as it was 1pm on a Sunday). Once we were seated it was obvious that no attention to detail had been taken in presenting the table, basic items such as napkins were missing. We were expecting someone to take our drinks order and were then told, “there’s the table water, if you want any other drinks you can go to the bar” The starters were served, soup was luke warm. Main course arrived with vegetables placed upon the table and again, luke warm. One of our guests was 4 years old and was left without a meal, not one single member of staff used their initiative to investigate why he hadn’t got a meal. It was only when a member of staff was informed that the meal was missing they sorted it. (This is basic stuff!) A portion of peas had been requested via email and telephone with one of the meals, this was missing! Even after informing staff at the start of the main course the peas never materialised (peas take 2-4 minutes in a microwave from frozen) Towards the end of the main meal one of the guests noticed that the stuffing was missing from the roast chicken dinners, the member of staffs response was “oh yeah the chef left it on the side and forgot about it” Deserts were served and the apple crumble and custards were cold! The party leader was assured at the end of the meal that the manager would be informed and they will be in touch, lets hope this happens. Overall our experience was awful and to say we were extremely disappointed is an understatement.

First time here but will not be the last. Good choice. We all chose from the 2 for £14 menu and food was excellent for the price. All day breakfast with chips included was enjoyed by the menfolk. Ladies had a chicken dish and scampi. I requested salad rather than the peas and that was lovely. Chips best ever. With glass of wine x 2 small beer x2 and coffee x 3 the whole bill came to £52. Unfortunately, we did not have room for dessert.

Lovely friendly staff. The scones were warmed up for us and were delicious. The home made spiced ginger tea was amazingly good. We will definitely come again next time we are in the area

We arrived at 17:30 just before the carvery closed, and although we waiting for the Tories to be ready I found the carvery was nice, not great but also not bad. The meat portion was massive, maybe because we got there towards the end but we were chuffed. We were left alone to eat and paid at the bar. Overall nothing to grumble at but also nothing stood out particularly.
