   A beautiful three course meal .The roast pork and crackling was cooked to perfection along with all the trimmings. A stunning dinning room, with an understated elegance. Excellent service, faultless in fact! Great value for money too. Had a truly wonderful afternoon and took our coffees out to the terrace after our meal to enjoy the view of the garden which was a perfect way to complete our visit.

   We purchased a Travel Zoo voucher for a 3 course Sunday Lunch at Eastwell Manor. Great value for money amazing settings and the food to die for. Can’t recommend this experience highly enough

   We ate here using a travel zoo voucher. Great value for money as we only paid £45 for a 3 course Sunday lunch each but the quality I would go again and pay the full amount. Really good service, lovely setting and delicious food. Will be returning.

   Food was lovely, great ambience, service a little slow waitresses walking past tables with empty plates could manage their time motion skills a bit better but was fine to wait as we were enjoying the evening, maître de was brilliant sorry I did not get his name he worked very hard to make the evening enjoyable.

   Waited an hour for our main course and had to chase up ourselves as staff did not notice. Experienced poor/ slow service last few times we have been here… they either need to up staff levels or open the spa restaurant for dinner as they seem unable to cope.

   We had an excellent evening at Gardenia restaurant. The staff were welcoming, courteous and helpful. The dining room was full of character and ambiance. We were able to choose our own table. The main courses, served on hot plates, and the dessert and cheeseboard were delicious and the perfect quantity for us. We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal, which was enhanced by a surprise platter, decorated with Happy Anniversary, a macaron and fresh fruit. Thank you all for making our anniversary dinner so special!

   Some issues glasses on the table was stained from. The dishwasher and milky coffee was Luke warm it was made again by the bar as we were told they could make it hotter,however I would have thought knowing that they could get that sorted also plates cold so food not as hot as it could be I'm sorry to say as we love Eastwell manor

    Ordered the salmon as main course which was supposed to come with new potatoes. The salmon arrived with roast potatoes and a yorkshire pudding - and the same vegetables as the roast dinners. So, basically we ended up with a roast dinner - with salmon and hollandaise sauce instead of the beef or pork! Since when has a yorkshire pudding been considered an accompaniment to salmon and hollandaise? Basically, it was the kitchen clearly being lazy and they couldn't even be bothered to serve the correct potatoes......!
