Outstanding cuisine preceded by very good cocktails in the bar. The hotel deserves all the plaudits it gets. Particularly impressive that standards have been maintained at this time of chef and staff shortages. Lovely reception staff too. The original building has a real wow factor too.

Had a fantastic meal - opted for the 10 course taster menu (vegetarian as I’m not a huge fish fan, of which there was plenty on the non vegetarian menu) the maître d’ suggested if we were to return we could customise next time which is something to bare in mind. Customised menus with our names on were also a nice touch - the food was excellent and the staff were very attentive - without being intrusive - only gripe was the length of the meal - we were there 3 hours with only three other tables in the restaurant, which felt excessive, but was totally outweighed by the food quality and service. Thank you for a great evening

Beautiful modern food in a relaxing atmosphere. Watch out for the cheeseboard though, lol. Order it and you'll see what I mean. Love this place as the staff are also warm and friendly too. Memorable evening and more to come here. We will definitely return

Fabulous experience in the Orangery in Rockliffe yesterday! Went for afternoon tea which was a faultless experience from friendly greeting to farewell. Wonderful service and delicious food beautifully presented.

Richard Allen is a gastronomic genius, my husband is a picky eater and loved every mouthful, exclaiming 'that's so clever' throughout our meal. The service surpassed a 3 star Michellin restaurant we visited in Barcelona. Dan the someliar is a wine genius, we love desert wine and he introduced us to the most sublime 'Sticky Mickey' which we are now addicted to, his knowledge and passion is infectious- the perfect foil to chefs culinary prowess

I had a lovely meal experience. On business in the area I opted for the four course menu. Service was excellent and fast. All courses were very well presented and tasty.
