Description

Sitting within the luxurious Whatley Manor Hotel & Spa, but with a feel all of its own, is this elegant grey-hued restaurant – ask for a booth or dine in the garden in the summer months. It presents a slightly less formal alternative to The Dining Room, serving a menu of globally influenced small plates that's divided into 'Earth', 'Land' and 'Sea', often featuring salad and vegetables from the kitchen garden. The cooking showcases well-defined flavours and careful craft, in dishes like prawn tortellini with coconut bisque. On Sundays, you can enjoy a traditional roast lunch.

Review summary

Grey's offers a generally positive dining experience with notable consistency in high-quality food and service, though some variability exists. Guests frequently praise the use of local seasonal ingredients, refined presentation, and knowledgeable staff who accommodate dietary needs. The atmosphere is described as relaxed and charming, particularly during jazz lunches. However, negative reviews highlight issues with portion sizes, particularly in Sunday roasts, citing dry meat and insufficient quantities. Service can occasionally suffer from inexperience or slow pacing. Value perception is mixed; while many find the experience worth the cost, others feel the pricing does not align with the quantity received. Overall, it remains a strong choice for those seeking refined international cuisine in a pleasant setting.
