Harden's survey result
Summary
“Sit in chandeliered grandeur in the dining room, or enjoy your food whilst looking out of the conservatory over the garden” when you dine at this grande old dame of a hotel. Too limited feedback for a rating in our annual diners’ poll on the à la carte fare, which is more posh brasserie (fresh fish, rump steak, risotto) than it is particularly ‘haute’.
For 33 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).
Have you eaten at Geranium Restaurant at The Royal?
Owner's description
The Royal Hotel has achieved 2 AA Rosettes for excellent food for over 25 consecutive years.
In December 2022, our Geranium restaurant was recognised with the Bronze award (third place) in The Beautiful South’s Restaurant of the Year 2022/23, which judges the best restaurants in nine counties across the South East of England. Our guests continue to enjoy exquisite and inventive dishes, carefully matched wines and a 5 star service.
“Set within an elegant hotel is this fittingly grand dining room hung with portraits and chandeliers. Good value light lunches are followed by more sophisticated dinners where old favourites are offered alongside more modern dishes.” - MICHELIN guide inspectors 2017
