I have been a couple of times for a wonderful afternoon tea at Chilston and never disappoints. I took my Mum and friend for lunch this weekend to celebrate a birthday. Lovely touch on the table, a birthday card from the staff for friend whose birthday it was. I made a request at booking to sit by the window was honoured despite being a bigger table and there were only 3 of us and the restaurant being very busy thank you. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, well presented great vegetarian choices too. The dishes were flavoursome and seasoned perfectly. I don’t like fondant potatoes and several alternative options offered without hesitation. Lovely touch at the end when the Chef came to each table individually and told us about himself and his passion for food. Overall was a wonderful experience. It is somewhere I want to go with my family for my 60th in April and very much looking forward to returning. Can’t praise it enough. Fantastic

The atmosphere of the Hotel and the services were brilliant. The restaurant was making the effort to put 10 of us sitting together for the retirement celebration. They also left a small retirement card to wish Tina happy retirement. She was very happy. The quality of food was superb and taste very good. The chef went beyond to cook us some fresh custard for the sticky toffee pudding. We was very impressed. We will definitely return.

Celebrated my 75th birthday with dinner here 10 days ago incredible service, food and wine. Five of us were royally treated from arrival until departure enjoying perfect personal and friendly service from Karen and excellent food whether it was the scallops, mussels, best ever beef tartare, for starters followed by the finest beef fillet in the Wellington, superb venison or the tender rib eye on the bone as mains presented in the most perfect manner a personal visit from the chef at the end of our meal could be considered the icing on the proverbial birthday cake ! Well done Culpeper 's.

Rated 3 of 5 because of the 5 course tasting menu, one course was a sorbet not a course) and one the soup was, in my opinion, the amuse bouche. Bread was excellent so didn’t go hungry. The Tasting Menu needs to be more spectacular. In the meantime it maybe best to stick to the a la carte. Service was very good.
