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

Food was lovely service was good and the staff were helpful and welcoming

The food here is top quality, the portions are a good size, the service is faultless. I'm in their dining room at least twice a month. Recommendation to anyone thinking of booking, you won't regret it.

The meal was very nice and a good choice. The staff were very pleasant and quite accommodating . We will certainly be back as we have already booked for an other visit with some other friends

Serving staff were lovely. We waited a very long time for our food to arrive, despite ordering within 10 mins of arriving. The macaroni was dried out, and cold. We were charged for drinks we didnt have, which was questioned by staff. So, after being in for 2 hours, when it wasn't that busy, it was seriously disappointing. We won't be back any time soon

Lovely meal in the restaurant

Arrived on time for booking, nobody to be seen. Eventually got met, told to sit anywhere, due to staff shortages. 50 minutes from ordering to starter, another 30 till main course. The place was freezing. Food was very poor, the staff dud try their best, however not enough staff to deal with large group.

Nice food very friendly staff.

Our table was booked for 2.30pm and we had all pre-ordered our meals. We noticed a lack of staff, and those that were there appeared not to want to engage with us. There were no crackers on the tables and the restaurant was cold. Absolutely no Christmas spirit at all. Our starters arrived at 3.15pm, though the pate and brie was served first and by the time the soups were served, the other starters had been finished. We were ordering our own drinks from the bar, but none of the glasses were cleared away until we spoke to you. We waited another hour and there was no sign of our main courses, and at that point my father asked to speak to you. You were very dismissive, and didn’t offer anything by way of apology. When the main courses arrived, these were definitely below a standard I would expect. The beef was tough, the turkey appeared to be out of a tin, the veg was hard. I emailed the above to the restaurant hoping for at least an apology, but after 10 days have had no response. Sadly, after many years of going to this restaurant, we wont be returning.

Overall, average. Found the service to be rather slow, even though we were the only table eating. There was one other table of 4 however they had all eaten and were finishing up. It was just us but the food did take a while to appear. Staff were friendly however not very attentive. No offer of anymore drinks after our first order and plates sat empty on the table for a while before they were collected. Garlic bread was literally a slice of white bread with butter and a bit garlic over the top. Not what we were expecting and didn't taste that great. Creamy chicken and mushroom pie wasn't creamy. It was a runny clear sauce inside that also didn't taste that nice. However the steak pie my partner had was tasty and filled with meat. Overall average experience but wouldn't rush back.

Hi there it was ok but the restaurant was freezing and so was the veg

I have been to The Ravelston many times before. I found the Festive Lunch was very nice, however, the vegetables were overcooked and too hard. Apart from that, the staff, food and value for money were all excellent. i would definitely come back again in the near future.

Had a booking for Christmas lunch with a friend on Saturday the 20th,which was prebooked when we arrived was told that there was nothing in . my name for the Christmas lunch. .Was very disappointed the service was good and the assistant was very helpful. My friend had the beef which was fine, my Turkey was not what i expected I was very disappointed, also the potatoes were over cooked and the vegatables where hard.

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Food very good and served on hot plates. Overall excellent. Would recommend.

Food was beautiful, I had the Balmoral chicken, came out beautifully presented & tasted 10/10. Service was very lovely from the lady with short blonde/brown hair. Very warming & chatty. Lovely Christmas vibe, only downside there was no music at all. This let the amostphere down.

We both had the battered fish and it was lovely. Melt in the mouth fish and crispy batter, piping hot.

Dined at the Ravelstone with three friends . Good food and service ,our go to place for lunch where weare never let down
