We arrived in the hotel for the weekend and I usually avoid the hotel restaurants but it was well reviewed so we gave it a go. Nick the restaurant manager was excellent and his attention to detail outstanding, as were his front of house team. The bottle of wine was a very reasonable £18.50. The food was excellent from start... More

My husband and I have dined at Blakes Restaurant many times over the last year.

The waiting staff were polite, friendly and very professional. The food was absolutely delicious and very nicely presented. I cannot think of anything negative to say about it. A great place for a special meal and... More

We visited Blake's for a belated birthday dinner for my partner recently. We'd both been looking forward to it as we'd heard good things about the food and the staff. The first thing that made me smile was the polite notice asking patrons to turn off heir mobile phones, something I was happy to do, something other diners clearly ignored.... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our Blakes experience. The choice and quality of the food was absolutely wonderful, I believe the menu changes daily which is music to our ears for our 10 day stay booked in August.
