    Given this was another visit we remain impressed with the service, quality of food and overall experience. We were treating a friend for her birthday treat so it was sweet of the catering team to prepare a special pudding for her. Plus as always our little dog Honey was made welcome. We have a few more visits planned so that is an indication as to how much we enjoying dining there.

We’re really looking forward to seeing you again over the coming months—your continued support means the world to us. Warm wishes, The Number NineTeam 🐾

    Went to Bridgerton afternoon tea. Lovely setting and staff pleasant. Very busy and with live band it was difficult to hold a conversation. Food was ok, savoury items were quite bland. Had to request refills for tea. Expensive sparkling water at £5 a bottle. Afternoon worked out more expensive than expected as a 12.5% service charge was added to the bill, despite there being only 2 of us on the table. It should be left to the client to decide and only add service charge for larger groups
    Number Nine RestaurantResponded today
    Hi Sandra, Thank you for joining us for our Bridgerton afternoon tea and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the setting and found the team pleasant. We’re sorry to hear some aspects didn’t quite meet expectations. Your comments on the noise level, savoury items, and tea refills are really helpful and will be shared with the team as we’re always looking to improve. Regarding the service charge, we do apply a discretionary 12.5% to all bills, but it’s absolutely your choice whether to keep it — we’re always happy to remove it on request. We really appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back for a quieter experience in the future.

    We were taking a friend there for lunch, and she was wowed by the whole lunch, and she loved looking round the gardens there. The food was delicious, and served superbly with each of us having different mains & deserts. They went out of their way to make it special and even created "Happy Birthday" on the sweet dish for me. The lamb was the best I've ever tasted.

    Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to celebrate with us! We’re delighted to hear that your lunch was such a memorable experience, and that your friend enjoyed both the food and the gardens — they truly are a special part of the estate. It’s wonderful to know that the lamb stood out for you and that our team could add a personal birthday touch to make your day even more special. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon, whether for another celebration or a relaxed lunch with a view. Warm regards, The Chapel House Estate Team

    This is one of our favourite restaurants. The restaurant itself is beautiful with the new glass courtyard. The ambience is relaxing, cosy and welcoming. Staff are wonderful, friendly, remembering you. The perfect amount of attention. They know their food and wine menu really well. Food is delicious and you can watch the chefs preparing the food from the open kitchen. The bar area is perfect for a relaxing drink before your meal or a relaxing drink after. All in all this is a beautiful place to eat and drink. Thank you No9,

    Our second visit to this charming restaurant and it was as good as before. Despite being very busy we were made to feel very welcome, including remembering our dog’s name from our previous visit, and the waiting staff remained attentive. It was a special pizza lunch menu on offer and you could not fault the food, with a good offering of sides. Once again a very enjoyable visit and we will be returning.

    Thanks so much, John! We’re really happy you enjoyed your second visit—it means a lot to see familiar faces (including your four-legged friend!). It’s great to hear the pizza lunch and sides hit the spot, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon!
