Delicious food as always here at Ellie’s. The restaurant is always comfortable and with beautiful surroundings but at the moment with the Christmas Decorations it looks absolutely magical. Service was great, very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend dining here.

We had a fantastic lunch as part of our spa day at Greenwoods. Excellent service and quality food. The wine list is very extensive too.

I attended with a friend and had a mixed experience. It wasn’t a good start with two rolls on one plate placed in front of us without any explanation. As I am Gluten intolerant I had notified the restaurant on the booking. The rolls did NOT look gluten free and I was about to question it when I noted staff mentioning it to the waiter. They swiftly took it away and returned two rolls again ( one gluten free) on the same plate! Thankfully I’m Not celiac as cross contamination issues there straight away! The starter was tweaked and was nice but mains came with over cooked pork and chips that were actually burnt on the sides. Shocking for any restaurant let alone one that boasts of awards. It was lunch with a friend so I didn’t complain and hope the restaurant takes this as intended which is constructive feedback …think allergy the minute the guest enters the restaurant, it’s standard in Majority to check before taking orders and certainly to be aware shared plates with gluten and non gluten is a big no! And a big no to burnt chips.

Friendly service, very nice setting. Good food, simple concise menu. Portion size quite small but healthy in line with spa mindset.

We went to 'Greek Night' on the 24th February, and I paid to take my Mum, Nan and Sister and it was nothing short of awful. Considering this is meant to be a prestigious venue, and 4 stars I would be mortified if I had a wedding or event here. Staff were incredibly rude to the 3 parties that made up the table we were on, and rude to my elderly Nan and myself. I contacted them directly to complain to which they took next to no accountability. I think they were happy to take your money, as it had to be paid for a month in advance, but assumed if you were under the influence of alcohol (which we were not) that they could speak to you however they like, and not have to do their job. They wouldn't clear our table after more than one of us asking. They served dried and crusty food, luke warm mains at best and we didn't even receive our dessert despite requesting to take it home. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who would consider going for an event, let alone paying thousands to host your wedding there. I think it is one thing to be rude to someone who's paying for your service, but it is just completely disrespectful to be rude to the elderly. ( She only wanted her dinner warmed up!)

Staff were very polite and efficient but nothing overly special taking it that extra step.Food was fantastic. Cannot fault it.No real atmosphere to speak of. Quite flat to be honest. No interactions, from staff, to any tables, just basic service only.Would I go back for the food..... PossiblyWould I go back for the special experience...... I doubt it.

I had a lovely steak (cooked exactly the way i like) with the chips changed out for fries… amazing.
Recently has a spa break and ate in the restaurant Food is ok, nothing special. We had 3 courses, was ok, but nothing more.

Spent a lovely day at Greenwoods and had a beautiful room in the hotel, ate in their restaurant Ellis’s for our evening meal and breakfast. Service was perfect, lovely waitress who was both friendly and professional. We both ordered the rib eye steak that was charcoal grilled to perfection, up there as one of the top ten steaks I have eaten, great chunky chips ( could have been a bit more golden for perfection) the extra green salad we ordered was fresh and delicious, nice extra avocado and pomegranate. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce on the side, meringue crumbs added a lovely texture, again absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend.

Went on a midweek visit to this restaurant using a voucher we got fir Christmas last year. The restaurant itself had a few people in but lacked atmosphere. Served promptly & waitress was very pleasant. First course arrived which was confit belly pork with scallops. Unfortunately the pork & scallops were cold & there was no crispy skin on the pork so it wasn't a pleasant eat. This was an extra £3 supplement for this dish. We did bring it to the attention of the waitress who said she'd tell the chef. At the end of the evening the supplement was still added to the bill so we asked for it to be taken off. On a positive note both mains were lovely & the chocolate fondant dessert was the best I'd ever had. I feel this restaurant just needs an injection of personality,so not sure we'd return.

Restaurant looked nice - well decorated. Menu was small but everything sounded good. Just opted for mains as it was lunch and we weren’t that hungry. The waitress although nice, couldn’t speak much English and couldn’t understand when we were trying to order and had to get someone else to help her, she also kept coming over and tbh she was cute at first but became quite irritating in the end. The food although nice wasn’t anything to write home about which was a shame as I remember the last time I came here about 8y ago the food was amazing. Won’t be hurrying back anytime soon

Extremely poor main course, warmish lamb with concrete-like potato accompaniment. I was using an experience voucher her for the evening which meant that I would not pay the extremely high regular price for such a poor meal. Needs major improvement.
