I went to join friends (who were staying at the hotel) for dinner. They weren't made aware that the restaurant was closed, but we were reassured the full menu was available in the bar. Service was very, very slow, our waiter got our starter order wrong - after checking it with us three times - and the atmosphere was very uncomfortable. We didn't stay for a main course, we paid up and went somewhere else!

The food took a while, but tasted great. Because I waited for a while, they gave me some soup sample to try as well. The portion of their sides and desserts was huge! Highly recommended.

We went during restaurant week and had 2 courses each for £20. The food was top notch and the staff were lovely. Due to staff shortages, one chef single handedly ran the kitchen and did an absolutely amazing job. Will definitely be returning (even without the deal)

Valentine’s set menu, 4 courses, sounds simple but what I experienced that evening was so unexpected and I wouldn’t want it to end. Welcomed by a lovely Ms Kiss, we were given a glass of sparkling wine and promptly taken to our table. Our waitress Andrea made us feel very well taken care of as well as the Manager Bruno did, praise to all staff that made this evening lovely overall. Cheese and onion soup, as many times I’ve had it in my life, this one took me by surprise, chef found the perfect balance and topped it with rose petals (nice touch for the occasion). Starters were light, full of flavors, well presented, great introduction to what comes next. Main course, the star of the evening, Chalk stream trout in white sauce was a sublime choice where the chef’s skills, heart and passion were felt in every bite. Truffles and chocolate sphere cheesecake served for dessert felt like a “Thank you for coming” note that summarized the evening. It’s a second time spent at Hilton for Valentines and it looks like after last evening it will become a new tradition.

I had lunch here as a course delegate and was very impressed. Gorgeous mini veggie quiche, nice and hot and a good balance of veggies. Meat and fish choices looked good too. Lovely Greek salad. Vegetables were well cooked, asparagus was a nice addition and the new potatoes were very fresh and cooked perfectly. There was a lot of choice of salads and accompaniments, all very fresh. Didn’t have dessert as didn’t have room but there was a good choice, all beautifully presented. Definitely a lovely, well thought out lunch menu rather than just average conference catering which can sometimes be a little bland. Staff were also very polite and welcoming.
