Afternoon Tea at Cliveden House in South Bucks

We had to wait for over 30 mins for the 2nd of their 7 course tasting menu ..

Opulent setting in the main cliveden restaurant. Solid fine dining fare with great efficient staff. 16/20

Best beef Wellington I’ve ever had and the Desert trolley was a great addition - there’s always room for pudding right?! Service was pretty old fashioned and the ambience too quiet to have any fun but the food was delish.

Came here for the vegetarian tasting menu to celebrate our anniversary.We don't normally go for fine dining as often it feels like some kind of awkward charade where everyone sits in silence for fear of breaking some obscure unwritten etiquette, however we both felt very comfortable here.The views are spectacular, and the venue is truly extravagant. The staff were very friendly and treated everyone equally, so we felt very welcome. Everyone was super on top of the COVID-19 measures, ensuring masks were worn at the appropriate times, hand-sanitisers were used etc.The food was excellent, each of the 7 courses was impeccable, definitely worth the money. We did have troubles locating the restrooms (I had to get two people to describe were they are, both instructions were a vague set of "go left after the curtains then right then left"), and it was assumed that we were having the meat tasting menu, we had some flagging down to quickly change it to vegetarian before it was too late.However in conclusion we both really enjoyed our time, both the food and the experience, and definitely would be returning again in the future.

Fantastic location and ambience. The food is excellent, as you would expect of a place like this. Service was exceptional.

Absolutely mind blown, the menu was out of this world and catered for vegetarians with the best most exciting dishes rather than the same old pasta and risotto. Ambience is perfection, service makes you feel like royalty! This is our new favourite place and can’t wait to come back for the festive afternoon tea very soon!

Better than Fera at Claridges, I mean services

Just reading the reviews as that’s what many who’re thinking of visiting, base whether it’s worth the travelling, and one particular review I found very interesting, and that’s from Tasnim Awan. I would be interested if in their land of origin if it would be possible to have either a lovely English cream tea or a full English breakfast?Myself and my partner found this manor to be very grand traditional English heritage just as it should be, and it should remain as British as it was intended and not converted into a international cuisine theme park.Top stars all round and we both would return again without question.

Had excellent Sunday lunch. Food was delicious and service impeccable. It is a beautiful setting with lovely views. I felt the cost of drinks was rather excessive. All in all a Lovely experience.

My family and I had a pleasant Sunday lunch. We sat at a table with a view. The food and service were excellent, but when we were called to our table, the waitress put our pre-lunch drinks on a tray then poured the rest of my tonic into my drink without asking me , spoiling my preferred mix of my gin and tonic.
