Beauberry House

I ate at Beauberry House on Friday evening, and was very impressed with all aspects of the restaurant. The food was very good, and the menu offers more choice than most, they offer more than 10 different starters and main courses!

The tamarillo salad with mozzarella was quite a unique dish, that I would reccommend to anyone, and the fillet of Irish beef main course was both flavoursome and tender.

Whilst I would say that the food alone is worth a visit to Beauberry, the true stars of the show are the front of house team. Our young French waiter was charming, and seemed very professional. The sommelier was exceptionally knowledgable, and very passionate. The wine list is extensive, but manages to offer good value in a number of regions.

The new restaurant manager seemed to be a master at his trade, chatting effortlessly with all the various diners, his Celtic charm would be a welcome addition to any restaurant.

This place seems to be onto a winning combination of very good food, a beautiful location, but most importantly of all a welcoming and professional waiting team.

We ate at Beauberry House on a Wednesday night last week, and I have to say I was very impressed with the restaurant. The food was very good, not quite perfect, but at the price they are offering their set menu at, it has to be the best value restaurant in London at the minute.

What particulary impressed us was the warm welcomeing service we recieved from all the staff, but in particular the Irish restaurant manager and the Australian sommelier. These two apparently hail from a background of working with Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal, and if so, you must feel sorry for Gordon and Heston that they no longer are with their team.

Previous reviewers mention that there seems to be be a lot of change happening at this restaurant, and it seem this is true as when asked the manager and sommelier had both started within the last 2 weeks. I hope for their sakes that they can continue to provide such hospitality, and that the kitchen can continue to consistently deliver the standard of food we had.

I definitely would recommend that you visit this restaurant during the week, to take advantage of the set menu.

We'll certainly return,especially when the sun shines and the terrace is open.

I took my partner for lunch at Beauberry house this afternoon after it was recomended to us by friends and we had a wonderful day. The place is set in the middle of a beautiful park and, weather assisting, is a perfect setting for a sunday lunch. We were greeted and seated promptly and had champagne at our table within minutes. The lunch menu is value, and we got stuck into four courses for something like £22, every one being delicious. The sticky pudding was my highlight and my girlfriend is still talking about the scallops. The service was attentive and very friendly. New management team are all there to greet and seat and top your glass and we were even offered a lift home in a Bentley! Well done guys. We'll be back.

We had dinner here again on Saturday night. We waited about 45 minutes for our starter and another 45 mins for our mains, despite several conversations with various passing waiters. They failed to refill our glasses (we eventually located our wine and helped ourselves). The head waiter attempted to explain the delay by saying there was a wedding upstairs and the chef was having difficulties coping with a full restaurant i.e. it was not his fault so he was not to blame (how's that for a united front?). We refused to pay the "optional" service charge, at which point he started a full blown argument with us. We eventually had more attention from the staff then we had had all night as we got our coats, with two managers apologising as we left and saying the owner was returning from Egypt to sort things out. They said they would contact us by Wednesday and, to date, no such contact has been received. It was an awful evening and not one we wish to repeat. The food is good, and it should be at the prices they charge. However the service is simpy appalling. We live locally and have visited before, but we won't be back in a hurry.

I took my parents there for their wedding anniversay. We all ordered something very simple for the first course like cold tuna ,soup, salad and oysters and it took ages to arrive and the restaurant was NOT full. The second course was indeed very nice, fantastic even and a very nice bottle of wine. The bill came and I was charged for a glass of wine which we did not have.

We had an amazing meal at Beauberry House last week. We went on a Tuesday evening, so it was fairly quiet and had the 3 course set menu. Every course we had was absolutely delicious, and my main course of Skate with caper mash and artichokes was possibly the best piece of fish I have ever had.

They have refurbished recently and no longer have the orange dining room the whole effect is far more subtle now. We will definitely be going back again soon, especially as it is excellent food at an affordable price.

Lovely building and food was good when it arrived. This is all I can say that was good. We seemed to be ignored when we sat down, normally would expect to be asked if we would like a drink at least. Service was very very slow as was the after service when the cab did not turn up (Cab company recommended by the restuarant). Totally unconcerned with the situation and very unhelpful. Would never go again.

Very disappointed with the service and the food. The decor ruins a lovely house. The staff were very friendly and the wine waiter was knowledgable and helpful.

We had drinks in the bar accompanied by loud music and the biggest TV screen I have ever seen.

I am not too sure what they are trying to achieve with the restaurant but they miss most things by a mile.

Not a memorable occasion.

As a local, I have been pleased to find Beauberry House so nearby. We have been several times but they still aren't getting it quite right: the service is erratic at best, tho never unpleasant, the food is hit and miss but worst of all is the introduction of a giant video screen in the downstairs bar - the bar used to be the best thing about this place now the stylish decor is consumed by too-loud music videos, which worst of all seem to feature only R n B and videos of half-naked women. Totally out of keeping with ambience and we won't be returning any more.
