Restaurants near Hartley Castle

We can always rely on Lucia’s for excellent service and lovely food at reasonable prices. We asked to be seared outside even though it was quite cold. I was cosy with the blanket provided and sitting under one of the outdoor heaters. The ambience was quiet and festive, and the decor both inside and out was stunning. We definitely recommend a visit - you’ll get hooked too!!

Lovely food in a really relaxed atmosphere. Good value for money

A very good 3 course lunch. High quality food throughout and an exceptional belly pork and liver sauce starter. An extensive wine list. Aiming for a fine dining experience and largely succeeding. Fish main course could have been more generous size wise - I felt I got the amount I'd expect on the 7 course tasting menu which if it was available at lunchtimes I would gladly pursue.

Fabulous food and fabulous service, very welcoming and brilliant with our 2 dogs

I chose the chicken satay skewers. Sadly the chicken was burnt on the outside and very dry . The coconut and peanut dip tasted only of mayonnaise. The fries were okay. My partner had the suet pudding and mashed potatoes. He ate it all. We had a chocolate pud with vanilla ice cream. The chocolate cake was dry and the vanilla ice cream was grey and didn't taste of vanilla at all. Very disappointed. We have eaten out every night on the CtC and it's been really good but last night even though I was very hungry I left my food. So it wasn't good .
