Sublime from start to finish! The location, the grounds, the inside, the outside, the food, the drinks, the service - all wonderful. Awestruck to meet the man himself, both turned into gibbering idiots talking to him!

This is quite easily the best food I've ever had the pleasure to eat. We had the six course lunch tasting menu, which turned out to be 8 with canapés and chocs with tea and coffee. 1st class service, beautiful setting and food to die...for.More
Can’t find fault with anything here, food is amazing! Every course was delicious any foodie would enjoy it!
Amazing experience and fabulous dinner. Service was absolutely spot on, and food / drink were really excellent. A superb location for a special occasion
Let me lead with the headline. This was the most perfect dining experience I have ever had in my 60ish years on the planet. Me and my partner booked an overnight stay and the tasting menu. So let me break this down. The location is...beautiful, a well managed estate of sculptures, herb gardens, orchards and Le Manoir itself. Quiet let us say. Don’t come here if you want a spar, are a gym bunny or the party lifestyle. This is quiet elegance far removed from all that. . The staff or brigade. They are wonderful. From the time you arrive to the time you leave you are treated by everyone with politeness, good humour and utmost efficiency. Everyone knows their job and does it brilliantly. The food. We had the tasting menu plus cheese. Absolutely wonderful. A few things I personally wasn’t keen on (I don’t do courgettes) but that is what a tasting menu is, to get you to try things. And you have to. The cooking was exemplary, faultless even. Indeed I devoured the lot. The menu comprised of 7 course which is seasonally adapted. So when you go determines what you get. The drinks. I had the wine tasting menu chosen by the sommelier to compliment each course, my partner had the non alcoholic drinks tasting menu (yes you heard that correctly, a non alcoholic tasting menu). Each drink was wonderfully explained and expertly delivered. The dining experience. Pre booking this was my big concern. Personally I don’t do formal very well. Sitting in a suit eating is not my idea of fun. Weddings with everyone in posh frocks and suits is not my thing. I needn’t have worried. Everyone dining was relaxed, open collars, relaxed. Smart but no peacocking. You knew from the car park there were some very wealthy people in the room, but a big take away was that we were all just there for some great food. The room. Wonderfully art deco, pristinely clean and everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay, although I did find the light switches a bit of a learning curve. So in summation. This is expensive, actually very expensive, but it was a treat. It is likely I may never do this again. If you are lucky enough to try it then do, you will create a memory that will live with you forever. I thank everyone at Le Manoir for such a memorable day.More
The entire evening was magical! Arrived well in advance to allow for a tour of the gardens- which is absolutely worth it! I've never seen Brussel sprout plants as large and the map provided helps ensure you make it as far as the orchards -...where the apples are on trellises. Drinks in the lounge before dinner were very relaxed and the 8 course tasting menu was delightful. The marriage of flavors was exceptional throughout - with caviar topping and hazelnut mousse as taste sensations. The horseradish accent was perfect with the mackerel, too. All in all an exceptional evening at an exceptional place.More
No detail is trivial. Superb food, Suberin wine, superb service. A delight in a world where quality is in decline. Merci.
I’ve had equally good, if not better, food at some non and one Michelin starred restaurants. The food whilst good is not particularly memorable. Cons Our choice of wine was out of stock. No offer of a la carte, just the set menu. Main course...lamb lacking in flavour Coffee luke warm Tea ridiculously weak Felt that we were the early lunch sitting and needed to vacate the table for the next sitting. Pros Beautiful setting. Food presentation superb. Lovely vegetable gardens to stroll around after lunch.More
Was treated to a Garden Suite for 2 nights of Heaven. All the were Divine. From the moment you arrive, the ambience, the service, the Gardens & above all the food is all Other Wordly. In short, Divine. All the special touches from Champagne Tea...on arrival to the 7 course tasting Dinner Menu.Breakfast & treats Superb!! Totally deserves its 2 Michelin stars. Absolutely nothing has been forgotten or skimped on. I have eaten in some wonderful Michelin Restaurants but this truly is The Real Experience. Figs & orange blossom in our private Garden. A once in a lifetime treat. Don’t hesitate. The staff are truly delightful & along with the best service Ever one feels totally relaxed & “at home” Which is their Motto “Welcome Home” I didn’t want to leave EVER!! Fabulous !! Massively Expensive I expect,(my husband would not divulge the final bill) but worth every penny. Even a bag of treats on departure….Nothing left to say!! PS We could have taken our pooch but then we probably could not have eaten in the Main dining room but dogs allowed in other areas!! He got a Box of treats from Le Manoir too….More
It was an amazing experience. The 7 course taster menu was delicious and perfectly presented. We felt it was well worth the money. We were not rushed, the staff were friendly and curteous, and each course was explained in great detail of the ingredients used....The artwork that goes into presenting their dishes are exceptional. The grounds at Le Manoir are incredible. The garden tour was informative and interesting. Loved, loved, loved it! Thank you!More
Very excited going. Grounds, setting and restaurants stunning. Food very hit and mix. Canapés amazing, gazpacho not so as spoiled by frozen tomato granola. Most disappointing was the lobster. Should be the star, but completely overpowered by curry and mango. Other dishes on the tasting...menu good without being memorable. Staff very friendly and service as good as you would expect, but did seem quite robotic at times. Feel as though they are relying on the brand.More
Could not fault a moment of our stay and wonderful New years Eve dinner … Beautiful room in the Dove Cote, champagne on arrival, gifts in the room, beautiful tasting menu with wine, danced the night away and then a sumptuous breakfast before heading off...with our good bag of treats ! Thank you so muchMore
Simply wow utterly sublime from the moment you arrive to check out you are treated like royalty, stayed in the Jasmine suite and it was beautiful. The staff go out of their way to look after you and there are no words to describe the...food, attention to detail and service for the evenings. The staff are so incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of not only the menu but any question asked they have the answers amazing can not wait to returnMore
It was a wonderfully magical evening. We went for my mothers birthday and I couldn’t ask for anything more. The staff were amazing, each dish was exquisite and the attention to detail fantastic. It has been on our list for years and we were not...disappointed. If you want to have a memorable experience, which you will cherish, please visit.More
Wonderful experience. We’ve truly enjoyed our meal and thought the service was fantastic. Few of the main dishes were incredibly tasty and the bread was amazing! Thank you.
