What a lovely location! The Manor house is both grand and beautiful, and this gave the evening a real luxurious feel. Each course was excellently presented and the food delicious. I also appreciated that, although it was Valentines Day, the price wasn't hiked up for the night. I would recommend The Bybrook for a special occasion.

We had an absolutely stunning meal at the Bybrook Restaurant. It's not often that we can afford to go out to a fancy restaurant and thankfully it did not disappoint on any level. We both went for the tasting menu and every course was flawless, the portions were also just the right size. It was my girlfriend's birthday dinner, and she was brought out a little sign saying happy birthday, which was a really nice touch. The staff were professional and knowledgeable, if a little overly formal, although I'm sure that's what's generally expected from clients in such an upmarket hotel and restaurant. Overall, it was a brilliant experience from beginning to end, and I wish we could visit every month!

This was quite enjoyable.The service was a marked improvement on our last visit back in 2012 and is now of a standard one would expect in a fine dining room.The food was generally acceptable and well cooked and presented although disappointing to see food items clearly out of season being given a prominent position. Blackberries and figs in late December-why when there are plenty of enjoyable alternatives? I would have thought a Michelin starred chef would be chomping at the bit to be ahead of the game not behind the curve. Seems to be a common thread to country hotel dining rooms. Shouldn't judge on one visit but I'm struggling to see how the Michelin star was retained.Trouble is we go to Wilks in Bristol too often-now that really is how it should be done.Full marks though to the young Polish assistant restaurant manager whose enthusiasm and eagerness to please lit up the evening.

my husband and I loved coming back to celebrate one year since renewal of our vows. the staff couldn't have been more helpful. my one complaint is that for a restaurant of this calibre in England especially, I think it's important to have at least one elder person in charge or as head waiter or head somelier to offer advice from a seasoned perspective. on this particular evening the whole place was run by under 30's (perhaps even under 25!) and even though they are superb, keen and clever, I wanted to be able to speak to someone who has been around the block a few more times. food was tasty as usual and not badly priced for quality. the drinks menu is super expensive, however, especially champagne which was quite frankly a rip off at £165 per bottle.

My wife and I had our 10th wedding anniversary meal here; we had a really enjoyable evening! The tasting menu was a treat; and the pairing of food and wine was superb. The service was attentive and helpful, but not intrusive. The atmosphere reflected a special evening without feeling pretentious. Many thanks; I'll recommend to others.
