Review of The Goring Restaurant: ? Write your review

With its upper-crust accoutrements, you might think The Goring hotel was trying to match the royals in nearby Buck House. The alabaster Edwardian dining room, bedecked in finery & featuring three pink Swarovski crystal chandeliers, dresses to impress – as should diners. Patriotism rules on the menu, which gives native seasonal produce a chance to shine. Rich, oozing Scottish lobster omelette is a luxurious way to start, before standout mains of slow-roasted stuffed breast of Devon lamb with purple sprouting broccoli & spring garlic, or steamed Cornish sea bass fillet with baby spinach & lemon butter sauce. Wild side dishes, such as hogweed & alexanders foraged from Kentish hedgerows, arrive in cute copper pots. British cheeses are displayed on a huge trolley, & desserts might include an intense dark-chocolate & stem-ginger fondant. Staff are unanimously applauded for their impeccable manners. The monthly changing French-biased wine selection is a corker too.

Went for a lunch in February 2009. Nice British food, properly cooked – although if you're not a great fan of British cuisine, you may just as well go spend your money anywhere else. Haggis was good (as good as a haggis can be), but pork shoulder was a bit elastic and chewy. Linley decor in the restaurant is ok but not outstanding.

Overall, a good choice if you want quintessentially British atmosphere and ambience together with some signature British dishes, but not particularly delicious or entertaining.

We go the The Goring Restaurant twice a year. Once in the summer for Sunday lunch and once for dinner just before Christmas. Although we tend to veer towards casual restaurants because we only go on the two occasions it retains its ‘special occasion’ for us.

Their Sunday roast is just the best, beef brought to the table on a trolley and carved for you, perfect roast potatoes, vegetable and gravy. Always a great choice of British Puddings if you have any room left.

The hotel is all decorated at Christmas and the blue twinkling Swarkovski lights in the dining room are at their best at this tinme of year. Favourites of ours to eat are Scottish lobster omelette, and Eggs Drumkilbo. For mains there is always a wide choice of variouse filleted fish as well as chicken or if you are really hungry steak and kidney pie.

Whatever you do and whatever you eat you absolutely must get as far as the cheeseboard, well actually its not really a board, it's a huge trolley of probably about 50 British cheeses. We have two cheese lovers in the family and it is always the higlight of dinner!
