Best Restaurants for Groups in Newbold Verdon

An elegantly decorated restaurant with a nice ambience, amazing staff and lovely food. Whilst the prices of the dishes may seem slightly pricey, the portion sizes are very generous and the food is delicious so in my opinion, absolutely worth the money. We were a family of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meals, including 2 children who had the adult/main dishes instead of the kids dishes (with leftovers as a takeaway!). The staff were really friendly and attentive, they even repeated the dry ice vapour for us when serving our meals as the children missed it as they had gone to the toilets. Couldn’t fault a thing and would absolutely recommend going here for a special occasion.

A very pleasant evening. The food was excellent. Selection of options spot on. Drink options were again spot on. Food and Drink quality 5 star. Service was perfect by friendly staff. We shall be going again very soon.

Festive lunch with friends. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The service was extremely attentive. We selected from the two-course set menu, which is excellent value.

What a very pleasant restaurant with friendly staff and fantastic food.. Definitely will go again as the atmosphere was very warming.

From arriving, it was a fabulous set up, the lounge where we we had cocktails and canapés was lovely, then after half an hour we were taken to the restaurant upstairs. Course after delicious course arrived and were beautifully presented and explained. We thoroughly enjoyed them BUT as soon as we took the last bite and put the cutlery down, the plate was whisked away before we’d even chewed and swallowed. I did comment each time ‘ that’s too quick’ and it meant that we felt we were on a conveyor belt and rushed. We’d driven up from Kent ( booking an hotel for the night) and arrived at the hotel literally 40 minutes before our seating time and so we were wanting to relax but this meant we were rushed. And as soon as we finished our last course with wine still in our glasses, they wanted to move us back to the lounge for coffee and petit fours but I refused saying I wanted to finish my wine. As we commented to each other and compared it it to Aulis/Raby Hunt/ Frog/ L’enclume/ Roux at Landau/ Gavroche/ Fat Duck etc.. we decided this was far far too rushed and at that very moment I got my phone out and booked Aulis for our 5th time. Nice though Opheem was, I think we’ll stick to our Aktar at Home deliveries that we’ve had for the last 4/5 yrs and have them relaxing at home. The staff were excellent but the management have decided to maximise revenue by processing customers through - very sad.
