Mother’s Day breakfast was disappointing on all fronts.A long standing booking for a special occasion - the menu was limited, no pastries available and just eggs in the usual ways. The restaurant was understaffed, we were left waiting for 40 minutes before we asked to order and tables around us were left uncleared. My husband stood 3 times to close the doors as we were seated in a cold draft. The food was poor, undercooked eggs, unripened fruit and one meagre slice of sourdough with cold poached eggs on top.We left cold, hungry and £80 lighter from a 5 star hotel? Money would have been better spent at a local cafe.

It was good but I wouldn't say it's AMAZING. I wouldn't go out my way to go again. There's plenty of better places at better prices.

I have never a bad experience at the Grove. The service is exemplary and the general atmosphere fabulous. Whether you are going for a meal or just popping in for a drink. Food is really good quality. Drinks are pricey but what you expect from a 5 star hotel. My favourite place and I feel lucky it's on my doorstep!

I have been to the stables restaurant and the bar a couple of times in the last few months. The food in the restaurant is wonderful, kind of a Gastro pub experience… Maybe slightly better.The bar has a great atmosphere to it too; with a wide selection of drinks on offer.Personally, I think that the service could be slightly more attentive. When we went for dinner at the stables restaurant we ordered a bottle of champagne which was kept in an ice bucket away from the table, however, we were left with empty glasses for quite awhile just staring at our champagne in the bucket… I think for the reputation that the Grove has, and the price is it charges, it’s not great to be sat with empty glasses when you have a bottle of champagne across the room in ice bucket, waiting for their service staff to top up your glass.I found the same level of service when I visited at a different time with my friend, just to the bar. We arrived and were quickly sat at a booth. After perusing the menu I went to the loo, by the time I came back our drinks order had not been taken and my friend was sitting there at an empty table.This all being said, wouldn’t hesitate to visit again for a great atmosphere and good food if service had more attention to detail.Really love that the staff will take you in a golf buggy from the main hotel to the stables and back if you need that.

The service was excellent. I noticed a Irish manager observation where on q. Walking around making sure all was in order. Apologies I didn't get his name. We had a 3 course meal. Very timely order. Had the fish of the day sole on the bone. Just ever so slightly overcooked. Cheesecake was practically frozen sauce with it was delicious. But Would I return?? yes. Booked again for another pop up

I’ve eaten there before and thought I’d have the usual top notch food but was sorely disappointed! I had the burger and the charcoal bun was hard and stale. The calamari was overly salty. And the beer batter for the fish was burn and hard. Won’t be returning anytime soon.. The service staff were lovely though!

Overpriced, overrated and poor quality. I had a hamburger, warning warning it's a poor piece of meat completely ruined by the kitchen , it wasn't just cooked well done it was ruined, the salad in burger was soggy, the chips were cheap frozen ones. It it wasn't for the fact that I was entertaining guests, I would have sent it back. 2 stars only because it's a nice room. By the way, all staff were incredibly difficult to understand as no were fluent in English .

Lovely food and attentive waiting staff. We had the large group set menu which had a decent selection of dishes. Seating in the restaurant was comfortable; I'd never really thought about how comfortable seats are in a restaurant until sitting in The Stables! Clean toilets, although the upstairs restrooms were cold.

Had breakfast one morning here during my stay at the Grove. The bar is very cozy and the decor gives a warm vibe in the otherwise chilly winter. The view into the golf course is stunning under morning sunlight. Staff exceptionally friendly and would check in with me every now and then to ensure I’m fully served. Portion of food was generous, quality of the English breakfast is of great standards!
