Disappointing. The setting of the house and views are spectacular. However the service was disorganised and erratic. Despite notifying allergies in writing before (and confirmed all would be fine), at check in to the hotel they had no knowledge and went through again. At the pre-dinner drinks they had no knowledge and had to go through and then yet again at the table they did not know and went through for the fourth time. All different people who did not seem to talk to one another! Went for the tasting menu but the courses either had long delays or one plate replacing the prior as you finished the last mouthful. In terms of the food it was a mixed bag. Asparagus was good and the Gin Tonic halibut ok. The Aubergine Ravioli was rubbery and little taste and suspect had been standing for a while. Bass was excellent and really tasty. The beef filet was too well done for my liking and a little tough. We were then introduced to an amuse bouche palette cleanser (but actually just the next course) of Onion ice-cream that was so strong we could taste it the next morning (and not a pleasant taste). This was our 45th wedding anniversary meal (reception knew but I suspect not the dining room) and the worst of 45 special meals we have had. Will not be going back!
We had lunch in the main dining room on 30 September during the Cliveden Literary Festival. The hotel was very busy at the time. The dining experience was excellent. Due to the Festival, the menu was limited to two courses with a choice for each course. We had been alerted to this before hand. The service was attentive and professional from a very nice team. the food was of a good quality and the view from the ground floor room was excellent. We have stayed and dined at Cliveden on a number of occasions and our experience over the weekend was at their usual high standards. The cost of meal was acceptable if a little on the high side for the limited choice. I do however understand why. In summary a great experience and we highly recommend.
This is a beautiful place with fine dining. We booked dinner for our wedding anniversary and arrived early to look around the grounds. We were given a very warm welcome and showed to the gardens via the bar (perfect for our pre-dinner drink). We were given a wonderful table overlooking the parterre. I would certainly recommend asking for one when you book. Service was friendly and attentive but not stuffy. Food was well crafted and attractively presented. If I have any criticism, it was the price of drinks. Only one of us was drinking alcohol (OK I did have one pre-dinner drink) and yet the bar bill almost equalled the food bill!
Great venue and helpful staff. The food was ok. Spoilt by the fact that they add 12.5% service charge onto the (partly hidden) £10 per head National Trust surcharge. They then add 12.5% service charge onto the total bill then ask you if you want to leave a tip. We left feeling a bit ripped off.
