We chose Buckland Manor for our date night on Tuesday as it was our Wedding Anniversary. It's a very beautiful and romantic hotel which serves truly scrumptious food.
From the canapes with pre-dinner drinks, through all the courses and extra tasting dishes to the petit fours, everything we ate was delicious, interesting and stunningly presented. I chose Oxford blue pana cotta with Buckland vegetable and a nettle pesto to start; melt in the mouth Duck with with cripsy wonton for my main course; and raspberry soufflé for dessert.
Head Chef Will Guthrie and his team are certainly well deserving of the ‘Hotel Restaurant of the Year’ award they won at the Cotswold Life Food & Drink Awards earlier this year.
Excellent service and even a pretty sunset through the window by our table made for a lovely and memorable evening.
