Honestly a lovely experience! We stayed at the Channels Hotel and had dinner and drinks here. A lovely pub type place based on just as lovely grounds. Service was great, friendly staff and happy to serve. Oh my G - the menu! We were really spoilt for choice - so much so that we ordered most of the starters and shared a main, as well as ordering some sides. We were really impressed by the flavours, presentation and really felt the price reflected the thought and skill gone into the dishes. We would absolutely recommend the sea bream, maple bacon and parsnip toffee! Thank you so much and we will certainly visit again when we are in the area! 10/10!

Amazing experience, The estate was even nicer than the pictures. The room was incredible, the bedroom itself was even bigger than the pictures, spacious and modern, against an idyllic backdrop. The shower and bathroom one word WOW, spacious, clean and a wonderful experience. The outdoor areas such as the car park, main areas and wedding area, are simply stunning and the new builds that surround the estate really give you a luxurious feeling! The customer service provided by James on front desk was top-notch, very helpful and kind, he walked me to my room, walked my guest to my room when she was lost and helped me to settle in before my 30th birthday party. I would highly recommend and return again.

I would fully recommend going here! has a great varied menu, breakfast, lunch and dinner and the 2nd Sunday of each month they have a jazz band playing! The place is really comfortable, clean and stylish! Look forward to our next visit for the Sunday roast, I would book for the roast though to get a space. Thanks again look forward to seeing you soon.

Food was lovely (I had the pork schnitzel) however menu items are bit pricey. For somewhere that charges £20 per main and £6 per side dish I would expect more than satchets of ketchup and mayonnaise. I would at least expect a generous serving in a condiment ramekin. Beers are London prices, the fact you have to order at the bar and food being served prior to cutlery being given to us whilst sat outside isn't ideal.

We celebrated my Daughters & my Birthday the weekend with 14 guests ranging from 11 to 80 years old. Everybody said what a fantastic time they had. The organisational skills of Amy, her restaurant & bar staff was second to none. Not forgetting, congratulations to the Chefs & kitchen staff for fantastically presented & tasty meals. Thank you Channels Brasserie for making our evening really special.

Went here for a Sunday Roast for 5 people. The food was quick to be served, but well prepared apart from the cauliflower cheese was lacking on the cheese. The vegetarian option was a bit limited, I had thought the No Meat Roast was a nut roast or similar. However it was just the veg, if there was more of an option this would be amazing. As it was it was still a good meal, but could be even better.

Visited for a Sunday morning breakfast courtesy of my employer. Peaceful setting within country aide beside the Channels housing area. Well kept gardens and tidy surroundings make a good impression upon arrival. The interior is a mix of thick timbers, glass, polished steel and smart seating. Big windows and light colours on the walls open up the space we sat within and enhanced the aesthetic. Staff were courteous and welcoming throughout whenever coming to the tables or walking through the restaurant. Food itself was delicious, smashed avocado, chili & lime jam on seeded toast. Boss also hash browns for each table which were enjoyable. Being an April morning the outside seating was unoccupied but looks to be a wonderful place to enjoy a summers evening meal. Chef's herb garden & "Puddingstone" artefacts enhances the openess & friendly atmosphere where you can go see where parts of your meal come from. A place I would certainly like to visit again to try their extended menu with my lady.

Well, incredible. My first visit. I certainly hope it's not my last. What a lovely place for lunch. Serving staff really lovely. Cookery outstanding and unusual, and interesting. To start, Pig Cheek Doughnut. Gooey, crispy, unctuous pulled pork, cheesy sauce and pineapple too. Fascinating and gorgeous in equal measure. Main: Pie of the Day. Today was braised beef. Have never had a better pie in my life. Didn't want it to end. Awesome and delicious. To finish, I had the Cherry Bakewell dessert. They seem to de-construct their desserts which normally I'm not fussed about. But my word, this cherry dish was beautiful. The chocolate crisp thingy was incredible. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to really go out with a bang. I loved the atmospheric and pretty surroundings but I did notice sitting near the kitchen, which is open format, the cooking smoky fumes did creep a little into the seated area, which was a shame. But last word must go to the chefs. Chefs, AWESOME! And thank you.
