Lovely restaurant with great food, helpful staff and nice atmosphere.

Our second time taking advantage of the half price main meal deal. A warm welcome, good food and cold lager. The restaurant was a wee bit cold (7.30pm) glad I was wearing a jumper. Otherwise, all good and we will be back soon.

I have been to The Ravelston many times for lunch. As always, I found the food, staff and service all excellent. The half price mains for the month of February is excellent value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Ravelston to any of my friends and family. I look forward to going back again for a meal very soon.

Great value half price main meal, excellent food and service, would highly recommend

Had a Breakfast for 2 given to me through Groupon, advertised at £20 for £10 a 50% discount. On arrival we were very quickly told it was for a small Breakfast, even though the voucher said Full. So surely should be advertised at £16 for £10 33% discount. The full breakfast would have been correct for the £20, so a fraudulent advertising con as far as I am concerned.

Very disappointed with the food and the service unfortunately. I ordered the monumental burger, not particularly monumental to be honest, and never got the onion rings as described, and it was very greasy. My wife ordered the steak pie and requested chips instead of mash, she got mash ! When we mentioned it when they eventually bothered to come over and check the manager?? Said he took it personally, but he did nothing about it took our half eaten meals away and that was it. No offers or apology. So we won't go back. I could be more forgiving if it was busy, but only 3 couples in.

As soon as we arrived we were shown to our reserved table by a very pleasant and welcoming waitress. The service that we received was professional and prompt. Our drinks order was taken and arrived quickly to our table. The food order was taken following our drinks arrival and delivered to our table promptly. The food we ordered was excellent, with big portions, well presented, hot and very tasty, well worth the money. We will definitely be returning again to the Ravelston House Hotel.

Our first visit to Ravelston House and found the service and the food exceptional. I ordered the rib eye steak & chips accompanied by pepper sauce and the biggest onion rings I have ever had. Mrs had a Veggie Enchilada. The steak was very flavourful and went well with the big portion of pepper sauce . The Veggie Enchilada had ample filling but the tenderstem broccoli was to hard ,so was left. The portions were large and Mrs asked for a take away as she couldn't eat it all. All in all a very enjoyable lunch abd we will certainly return in the future.

Food was good service very slow

Another great family meal last night. No complaints at all. Everything was amazing. Well done Dean and team

Cracking good but it was like sitting in a fridge. Totally freezing so couldn’t wait to get out hence the reason we only had one course. Also floor was soaking wet so very slippery and strong smell of bleach which put me off a bit as well. Why could the cleaning not have been done early

Had a lovely lunch at the Ravelston, I had the macaroni cheese. It was lovely and Cheesy. The staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much problem.

Nice food as usual. Friendly staff and a very good price.

Went for a meal with friends last night , food really nice. Met at the desk by someone I can only imagine was having a bad day, grumpy manner from start to finish. We waited ages on our main course , nearly an hour I believe. Last waitress to take our desert order forgot to place it as I think she was due to finish her shift so our desert order obviously wasn’t too important. Very disappointed in the whole experience, first time we have ever been disappointed in the place.

Stayed at the Golden Lion for 2 nights. Had dinner on the first evening which was lovely. The food was fantastic with a great choice. Excellent service. We also had small plates on the second day and breakfast both mornings. All the food was excellent. The restaurant is lovely. The price was very reasonable both for food and drinks. Thanks to all the staff . We will definitely be back.

Our meal last night was amazing, we didn’t have to wait very long after ordering. Food was tasty and well presented, compliments to the chef. Our service from Helen was first class, very chatty and very knowledgeable regarding the food on the menu, she never pressured us to make a decision and gave us time to decide. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary which Helen wish us best wishes, we had our reception in the Golden Lion, 41 years back to celebrate and we were not disappointed. Thank you for an excellent experience.

8 off us ladies were in on Saturday for dinner. Food was delicious, service even better

Enjoyed our meal in January, the half price offer is very popular. Kerry Anne is an asset to you great service
