Wonderful place in Suningdale Park, Surrey. A new gated community with an amazing silver service restaurant. Less expensive than some local pubs. Great place to celebrate a special occasion.

It's a bit of false advertising on their website for "fine dining". This is nowhere near a fine dining experience. To be fair, we were raising our eyebrows prior to booking due to much lower pricing than expected.We ordered Two Early Bird two course meals. Disappointingly the food took 40 mins to arrive and we had to ask for the sauce for one of our meals. That took another few mins.Our desserts took a good 20 odd mins to be served after the mains dishes were cleared away.The poor waitress - she was the only one serving 5 tables and she had to keep apologising for the slow kitchen service. She was very polite and tried her best.Couple of points that we raised on the spot: 1. The salad garnish that we had on our mains were not fresh.. they were yellow.2. The white napkin provided had some black marks on it.Both were off putting in a restaurant.Additionally it is a messy building site to navigate through as there are ongoing building works to this place. This hopefully will be resolved with time.The only honest review on Google about this place was one commented at 11 months ago stating that they were "not fully opened..." They are still not fully open according to the staff today.Food was not exciting but tasted fine - maybe this is “fine“ in what they meant by “fine dining“.

Hidden gem for drinks. Gorgeous place.Food, basic and so overpriced. Fish & Chips 25quid, 4 of us questioned the price, they dropped to £19.50, thick greasy batter, not the best, sadly.

We order the early bird lunch menu. Starter was smoked mackarel with salad. The sauce was very fresh and went very well with the mackarel which is smoky with a strong taste. Main was roasted chicken. Again, I like to sauce - green bean sauce. First time using green bean sauce on chicken. Creamy and tasty. Besides, the historic site is beautiful!

Absolutely stunning inside and out, it looks like a stately home in every aspect. Dining rooms are very clean and the decoration compliments the essence of the building. It really feels that you are in a very exclusive, members only dining establishment. Nice to be greeted by your name upon arrival before having to confirm myself. Made to feel very welcome by the polite, well presented staff with the general ambience ensuring a very pleasant, tranquil evening dining experience. The menu was spot on for us as it was not too fussy, very reasonably priced and excellent quality. Already recommending Kempton's. You will see us again.

We had not booked, but popped in for coffee. The atmosphere and excellent hospitality made it an easy decision to stay longer, so we ordered a meal and spent a lovely afternoon relaxing in the stunning dining room. Thank you to Ronnie and Annmarie who made our visit extra special.

We went for Christmas lunch yesterday 8 of us and our 8 month old granddaughter. I have been before for afternoon tea Boxing Day last year last year which was nice. This was so lovely we had a beautiful round table by the fireplace. The food was top notch. Giovanni was an absolute legend. Compliments to the Chef, he catered for a couple of dietary requirements with no issue.

Fantastic venue, amazing service, quality food. I come here for my 30th birthday and they couldn’t have been more attentive. Thank you for everything to all staff here everyone had the best time.

What an amazing find this was! My friend and I are huge afternoon tea addicts and always looking for new places to try. This came up in my searches and what a lovely place! The location is actually within a retirement community we later learnt, a real hidden gem and the venue itself is so pretty both inside and out! The room we had our afternoon tea in was beautiful with cozy fireplaces and festive decor! And the tea itself as well as the service from the staff was first class. We would one hundred percent come back!

What an hidden gem! A beautiful restaurant in a stunning setting. We had Sunday Lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Two of our party had the festive menu and again it was delicious. They coped with my husbands allergy and dietary requirements graciously. We are impressed and will be back
Absolutely fantastic! A beautiful place & the service was second to none, we were served by Joanna & Ronnie, they couldn't do enough for us to make it a special occasion with my friends! Based on their customer service would definitely recommend!

I had a fab festive afternoon tea with my mum. The setting is beautiful and all of the staff we encountered were friendly and attentive. The various teas to choose from were displayed in little tubes which I liked. Much more fun and visually pleasing than a boring old menu! I opted for blackcurrant which smelled and tasted delicious. The afternoon tea included sandwiches with festive fillings that were freshly made and we enjoyed them all. Scones were lovely and warm with plenty of jam and clotted cream provided. The Christmas theme continued with the festive cakes on the top tier. The chocolate log slice was my favourite! Service was prompt but we didn't feel rushed. I would recommend this afternoon tea. The Christmas music was a little quiet.

Beautiful venue, inside and out. We were married here 8yrs ago when it was a wedding venue and it was such a pleasure to finally come back and see it newly decorated. We had afternoon tea and it was delicious. The Prosecco was also very nice!! Husband ordered vegan afternoon tea so we could have our own each and he enjoyed his too. Didn’t feel rushed to finish our food but also very attentive and polite staff. So beautifully renovated. Will be booking to come back for dinner soon I’m sure! Just wish it was open of an evening later than 8pm.

Afternoon tea failed to meet our expectations. 1. Had to park in residents reserved parking rather than at the restaurant building. 2. No prosecco although advertised as afternoon tea with unlimited prosecco. Another wine provided. 3. Assam tea not part of the selection of teas. 4. Glasses smeary. 5. Service friendly but amateurish
