The three course meal we had with matching wines delivered good quality cooking and the service was friendly and efficient.

Wonderful meal, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere in restaurant. The whole stay at Amberley was first class, room was lovely with sumptuous bedding and biggest walk in shower! Walking round the grounds was so pleasant and relaxing. Beautifully kept gardens with the added bonus of a rather snooty white peacock. Great surprise in morning when on opening the curtain the peacock was outside the door, almost as if he was there to wake us up, so funny and just added to the whole experience.

After a long wait due to COVID-19 delays, my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Amberley Castle hotel's restaurant. The staff were most welcoming and the food was truly excellent. Social distancing measures were in place, but the restaurant still exuded atmosphere. Food quality was gourmet and the waiter knowledgeable with answers to our many tasting questions. Highly recommended for those special occasions! (NB We only visited the restaurant and did not stay at the hotel hence "not sure" answers below)

With a voucher from the local free newspaper we reduced the tasting menu to £36pp, plus a "free" glass of champagne. For £55pp 4 people enjoyed a memorable five course meal plus coffee and service with a good but expensive bottle of Muscadet. We shall return!

So worth visiting for a special occasion! We stayed over so we could enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner and it was a truly delicious meal. We had a three course meal with complimentary canapés, soup and palate cleanser. Each course was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. A great place to take the grandparents or family for a special meal. Nicely spaced out tables and you weren?t rushed so the meal was enjoyed at a lovely leisurely pace. I?d return!

Feel like royalty in this gem of a location! Delicious food, spectacular quality of service. Luxury experience, well priced for the 5 star quality service, food and ambiance. Regular great seasonal specials and dining offers worth keeping an eye out for! Accommodating of food allergies and big parties. Gorgeous grounds with varied sections are a picture perfect / social media delight. Great for creating memories at a heritage rich location. Always a favourite destination!

Food delicious, wine excellent but unfortunately that is not enough these days. The ambience was so awful it felt as we were intruding on their privacy. Slightest laughter from a table and the whole place is glaring at you. Years ago they had a fantastic manager, French i think who welcomed everyone with a smile and created a much more vibrant atmosphere.. sadly lacking today.

food was good but it didn't feel special [apart from our panna cotta dessert - that was fab]... the dining room was lacking ambience. wine list was pricey/pretentious. it just didn't gel together. it is definitely a missed opportunity. they need to review the setup. it needs some freshening up.

This is a fine dining experience, which the most sublime food. Really tasty. The dining room is delightful too. service is over and above the call of duty (thank you Emily) and all in all I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion

As part of our hotel dinner, bed and breakfast package, we had a 3 course A la carte meal included. We were taken to the dining room around 20 minutes after our reservation time - we didn't mind this was we were chatting and enjoying our drinks in the lounge. After being sat at the far end of the room with several other occupied tables, we were given two canapes (both lovely) and a bowl of bread. The ambience is generally lovely with the history of the castle owing to this. We did however feel that having some background music would have helped this as despite being at the other end of the room, we could hear the entire conversation of a party of 4...which ruined our experience a bit! After about 20 minutes our starters were served. They were absolutely beautiful to look at on the plate and definitely worth the wait. My husband had the pork and I had the sea trout...I wish I could've had a double portion for my main, it was so delicious, excellently balanced and full of flavour. My main was also lovely, though did not compare to the starter and my husband loved his beef main. Dessert again was worth the wait and was presented in a lovely way. I had the 3-glass wine flight (£40) with the meal and all 3 wines went well with the courses. Unfortunately despite confirming I was having the wine flight at the beginning of the meal, the first glass was not served until after I reminded staff and had already finished my starter. However, we really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely go again!

Very Happy with my choice of Amberley Castle Hotel for my 64th Birthday Fine Dining experience. Great Food, attentive and courteous Service. Pity I was unable to sample any of the wines from their reputable Cellars... perhaps another visit will be in order.
