Garden At The Farington Lodge

Our visit was for our daughters birthday. The hotel was attractive and the staff very attentive and friendly. I had booked a week ago and was a little surprised that they were not expecting us and had to set a table for four people, however they apologised and swiftly seated us. We had the room to ourselves and the staff took our orders, the service was very efficient. The starters were fine but unfortunately the mains were very disappointing. The men enjoyed their meal of pork belly but my daughter and myself had the steak which were very unpleasant, mainly because they were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside, we had ordered medium steaks. The staff very kindly offered to only charge us for one of the steak meals and gave us complimentary coffees because it was my daughters birthday. As this was our first visit i would hope that this was an off day, it didn’t spoil my daughters birthday as the staff were so good.

We had lunch at Farington Lodge. The setting and surrounding grounds are beautiful and I should think it would be ideal for a wedding. The meal, however, was adequate for the most part, but not really good. The beef was too rare and very tough. I can't fault the service which was nothing short of excellent. It is a pity that in such a beautiful place and with such excellent service the food doesn't live up to expectations. The drinks prices too were high.

Lovely meal, impeccable service, great ambiance, very reasonable price during the week. Can’t wait to go again!

If I'm being honest the food was not very good. But the staff and service really made the day feel special. The service was excellent, staff happy, smiley and jovial. Starter course of Goats Cheese Tart, was dry and tasteless. Main course of Turkey was okay, but the carrots were awful, very hard and the colour of them was a little off putting they were greyish in colour. Desert very tasteless. Still the atmosphere was excellent, and the waiting staff made the day!

Visited for the recent Santa Xmas Lunch, great value and lovely food and service. Second year we have done this and I hope we go again next year.
