Square Meal Review of Couture Dining Room ?

Buckinghamshire’s answer to The Ivy – famous faces are almost guaranteed at the new Couture Dining Room at Pinewood Studios. The restaurant not only hosts resident actors & directors (Quantum of Solace & Mamma Mia are among recent productions), but is also open to the public, & it’s far from your average studio canteen. Located in the manor house’s original dining room, it’s an elegant union of polished wood floors & ornate ceilings, with windows looking out over manicured gardens. Seasonal produce forms the backbone of the menu, & it’s put to good use in modern dishes such as beef carpaccio with parmesan, horseradish & beetroot purée, followed by pan-fried halibut with dill fondant potatoes or rump of lamb with Lancashire hotpot & minted pea purée. Indulgent desserts include peanut butter cheesecake with roasted pineapple. There's a prix fixe menu at £9.95/11.95 for two/three courses, while separate elevenses & afternoon tea menus can be served on the patio in clement weather.

    Really awful experience. They wouldn't let us in as they said it was for employees and their guests. the place was run down and grubby. The food was horrid! Don't attempt to go!

    I had heard that the restaurant at Pinewood was under new management and thought I would give it a try. To be honest I wasn't expecting that much but my wife and I and our 2 guests were incredibly pleasantly surprised.
    Driving in to the site and seeing the huge “Pinewood Studios” sign and the "007″ James Bond lot immediately adds to the sense of excitement. That would have been enough but when we were directed to a very attractive Georgian building with superb gardens and saw mock thatched buildings covered in snow in the grounds, where they were filming a new Harry Potter film our day was already made.
    The excitement of the whole experience gave us an appetite so we decided to eat. The dining room is very attractive and clearly most of the other diners were in the film business (unless my imagination was by this time running wild). Rodrigues the manager came and welcomed us and all the staff were young attractive and friendly. We had a really lovely meal and then the bill came to £9.95 a head for the food. Actually it was ridiculous for the meal that we had. It could easily have been 3 times the price and we still would nave been happy.
    This has to be one of the last great bargains that you can find. We're going back before they get wise and start charging the right price.
