Sysonby Knoll - Melton

I dined at the restaurant for dinner on two consecutive evenings and also had breakfast there while staying at the hotel. I have no complaints about the service, variety of options, or the quality of the food.

The menu offers a wide variety of options and the specials menu is a great value. The food is high quality and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The buffet options are diverse and complement the cooked breakfast choices well. Service is also efficient. Just a heads up, the portions are quite large, especially the mixed grill.

Last night we enjoyed a lovely festive meal. The table was set beautifully, all of the food was piping hot and delicious and good portions. Lots of fresh vegetables and one of our party stated on booking that they only liked 3 certain vegetables thinking this would give them leeway on providing some of what she liked but she got all 3, very impressed. Staff were friendly and professional. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was I felt the stuffing wasn't home made, there was no bread sauce, not enough toast for the amount of pate and we didn't get a Xmas cracker this may be due to covid? Overall a lovely meal and others that were dining from the menu, their meals looked gorgeous.

I have stayed at this hotel on business a number of times over the past 10 years Excellent comfortable rooms Great little restaurant with nice menu. The staff are always accommodating and friendly Breakfast made fresh to order Thanks again for another enjoyable stay

After planning to visit for some time, I was excited to take advantage of a two for one offer on a meal at this restaurant. The offer was only valid on the specials menu, which had a limited selection of three dishes. I chose the coq au vin and enjoyed it, but my partner had to settle for gammon and chips as he did not like pesto or the chicken dish. Unfortunately, the gammon was tough and even requesting a steak knife did not improve it. The service at the restaurant was excellent - friendly and efficient. It was disappointing that the food did not meet our expectations. We had hoped to enjoy a nice beer on tap, but the selection was limited (no draught). Although we could have chosen from the main hotel menu, we decided to go out for the evening as it was just a regular weekday.
