Harden's survey result
Summary
“We love this place and the new chef, Steve Smith (who earned a big rep at Jersey’s Bohemia)”, say fans of the “cosy, historic and colourful dining room” (which can seem “a little dark”) at this plush Surrey resort hotel (a training base for the England rugby squad): “he has clearly brought his simplicity and love of simple fish cookery with him”. On all accounts, a meal here is “expensive but worth it”.
Summary
“Everything is hushed and cushioned, dark and cocooning” in the luxurious and much-accoladed dining room of this well-known country house hotel. Matt Worswick offers both five-course (£69) and seven-course (£95) tasting menu options which are rated good or better in all reports. The experience is “VERY expensive” and there is a sceptical view that “while the food is pretty good, it’s the place that is just lovely”.

Summary
“The main restaurant really has the wow factor” at this ultra-plush country house hotel, where an architectural highlight is the superb, lavishly decorated dining room. Matt Worswick’s “excellent” cuisine throws up “some really innovative dishes” which his most ardent fans feel “will earn him a second star some time soon”. Even if that’s too strong for other reporters, all comments on the cooking are upbeat, and there’s consistent praise too for the interesting wine pairings that “really bring out the flavours of the food”. Top Tip: “superb afternoon tea, with a glass of Champagne and constantly refreshed sandwiches and cakes”.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
