We arrived on a bank holiday lunch time. whoever was managing the place looked surprised that clients were coming, there was another couple that arrived at the same time, the manager told them to follow him and left us in the entrance, we could see that they didn’t have any table set so they moved 2 tables on the terrace, we eventually went to the terrasse too as no one was coming back for us, it’s a big terrasse, and yet we were seated the furthest possible from the sides with the nicest view even though the terrasse was almost empty. we then had to wait for the other couple to decide what they wanted to eat because the restaurant only had 1 menu hand written on a slate. We eventually ordered and went to enjoy the lake views, the waitress came to us to tell us that what we ordered wasn’t available, so we changed. The food arrived, the quantities were absolutely ridiculous, i took a monkfish dish that was a tiny square portion with about 7 fried baby potatoes slices, 1 steamed mini carrot and 1 tiny broccoli and about 2 teaspoon of sauce on the monkfish, the monkfish was ok but the vegetables were completely tasteless, except the broccoli piece that tasted like raw fish which wasn’t really pleasant. My partner had lamb with the same potatoes slices and the steamed baby carrot and broccoli. While we were eating one staff started to varnish a table next to us, so we had the pleasure of super strong varnish smell while trying to enjoy the food that had no taste. I really don’t understand how a place can have such a beautiful scenery, pretend to do Mediterranean food and yet make the worst food and give the worst service, and it wasn’t cheap! The monk fish was about £19 and the lamb was about £24…We were super hungry leaving this place, we walked arround the lakes and went to eat some cake somewhere else. I very rarely leave reviews, but seeing such a nice place which huge potencial is a bit sad, and also I am pissed off because I feel I have been ripped off, if I could go back in time I would have left when we were serve the food. Yet, the waitress was very friendly and we talked to someone managing the lakes who seemed very nice too, please sort this restaurant out as, as per our experience it is currently a good candidate for Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen show.
My wife woke up and decided we should go out for Sunday lunch so I googled “riverside restaurants near me” and got the best ever recommendation in The Halliford Mere Lakes. What a find. Fantastic customer service and superb food in a wonderful setting. Currently working off a reduced menu to enable chef to produce top quality dishes given the restrictions on supplies caused by the market and the heat. Clever use of the best ingredients available and enough choice to satisfy the most critical palate. We even managed a beautiful walk through the trout lakes before desert and delicious decaf filter coffee. Lots of extra brownie points for my choice of venue at short notice. We WILL be back!
Have passed the sign on number of occasions finally tried it out. We went with another couple today for lunch, very good venue, young lady serving friendly and polite, booking over the phone answered correctly by text as requested. Food was good, not a cheap meal but I think it was good value. We will definitely be going back. My only observation , the fish stock in the soup was a little bland, but that is just my opinion, I like a little kick, but otherwise my meal was good.
What a lovely setting the restaurant is in it overlooks trout lakes. The young waitress serving us was charming. There was four of us I had the fish soup for starter's the broth could have done with a bit more flavour but the fish in it did followed by sea bass which was cooked to perfection as were the vegetables all the food was fresh and tasty. I would happily visit this place again.
Can not rate this place highly enough, most perfect setting, wonderful staff and owner, couldn’t do enough to accommodate, all COVID rules in full Place, our families have had the best day here today and the food was amazing, definitely going to be back soon 10/10
