Such a lovely lunch in a gorgeous setting! Me and my mum had a lovely lunch over the weekend at Kenton Park Estate. I had the chicken skewers, with a salad, wrap and hummus with oil. My mum had half a chicken served with salad, asparagus, chips, and garlic aioli. Great value for money, large portions and really tasty food. Was greeted with smiles throughout! I was also shown around as I would like to book to have my bridal shower here, brilliant service and friendly staff!

This was our first time at Kenton Park Estate and certainly won't be our last! Everything was perfect, the venue, the delicious food, the beautiful wine and a stunning summer's day made it all perfect to celebrate my husband's birthday. We would highly recommend this very special place to anyone looking for something a little different from a pub or restaurant. With so much to choose from on the menu, we finally made our choices of; monkfish bites as a starter, the steak platter for main, then a delicious helping of chocolate brownie for myself and Eton mess for my husband.

The most beautiful setting, great service, amazing food. Cannot recommend enough.

Always a lovely experience. Great staff, fab food, excellent value and outstanding venue. So lucky that it’s just ‘around the corner’. Oh, and the music was spot-on. Who needs Pavarotti when you’re already in Italy….

Wonderful birthday celebration lunch. Food excellent, location superb. On a lovely sunny day, thought we were in Tuscany! Staff were knowledgeable, attentive and we really appreciated the complementary birthday drink. Thank you.

Beautiful setting with friendly staff and excellent quality produce. Stunning rose and delicious Italian sharing platter. On a sunny august day it was like we were on holiday (yet live in the village!)

I can’t praise this wonderful venue/ restaurant enough , we took some of our family there who live elsewhere in the uk. And they said they feel as though they were in Italy, so lovely everything was perfect, the food was top class and beautifully cook, I know my husband is a chef. Just delighted thank you, highly recommend this vineyard. The service was excellent too. The wine was beautiful too. If I can be picky I would put better music on, just didn’t go to the beautiful Italian feeling. And the menus are just too big. But really, I will go again. Thank you so much. And continue the really good work you do.

7 friends came to lunch with you yesterday we had a great afternoon,we laughed a lot. 6 of us had great food,but my choice was very disappointing calamari it came out on a tiny slate it had soggy batter around it that was falling away from the calamari I waited for the salad to arrive but it didn’t until I was able to get the attention of the very nice waitress ,I have been to kenton park many times and had great food but disappointingly not this time not value for money,I-will be back again but not for the calamari

Not a big breakfast menu but we all went for the platter and it was amazing! Both in size and variety! Would highly recommended.

Our lunch with 5 other friends, all of whom are widows, was again a most enjoyable time. The togetherness in the Safari Pod is an excellent way of sharing lunch together. All the food we had was exceptional as it always is. This is the sixth time we have chosen to lunch together and another is booked for late in September, and also an evening in December which we all enjoyed immensely last year. All the staff are most enthusiastic and welcoming and yet again Paul is an ever-present attendee to our group though and ably supported by others of his colleagues. They are all worth more than.five for service.

An excellent way to spend a few hours. Cannot fault anything - a real treat in superb surroundings. Highly recommended

We celebrated a birthday with 3 generations of family with a lunch in a safari hut in the vineyard at Kenton Park. The initial welcome was a bit lacklustre until the amazing Paul arrived at the table. His energy and enthusiasm made us feel genuinely welcome and the whole Kenton Park experience was top notch thereafter. We started with a glass of the ‘cheeky fizz rose’ which was delicious. The very comprehensive lunch menu offered a wide range of fish and meat dishes - available as individual dishes or sharing plates. We started with a selection of light bites for the table to share - the baked Camembert and the monkfish bites were delicious. For mains - 2 chose scallop and monkfish skewers which were served on a bed of fresh green vegetables and were really outstanding, one chose a steak platter and was delighted and the rest of the party shared a roast chicken carved at the table which went down a treat. Deserts were brownies and ice cream and a gourmet plate which was a selection of bite sized deserts. The brownies (laced with cherries) were melt in the mouth. We drank a bottle of the vineyard’s own ‘ Runner Duck’ Sauvignon Blanc. The setting in the vineyard was delightful and the safari hut’s location away from the main restaurant meant that the children could run around without disturbing other diners. This was not a cheap lunch, but represented real quality in an unusual and intriguing setting. It was excellent https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g2021723-d25987937-r967235011-Kenton_Park_Estate-Kenton_Devon_England.html#

Lovely place and wonderful grounds. Most of our meals were excellent, apart from the lamb extravaganza for two. We were not asked how we would like the lamb and found that the meat was very much overdone. Perhaps a fault on our part for not specifying medium but most chefs would not assume that the lamb should be extremely well done. Also there was enough to feed at least three.

We had the most amazing lunch yesterday at Kenton Park Estate. It was my husband's birthday and we pre-booked the Seafood Platter which was full of the most lovely selection of seafood including, lobster, crab, mussels, calamari and more. We received a warm welcome and a complimentary glass of fizz to start the celebration which was a lovely surprise and most appreciated. Thank you very much for such a lovely afternoon.

We had visited for lunch this week. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by their friendly staff and shown to our table. The food is top notch and the wine too and not over priced either. I would highly recommend Kenton Park Estate its such a lovely place to visit for a special occasion or just coffee and cake. We have booked again for Christmas time and we cannot wait.

Our first visit. My friend & I had such a lovely afternoon. Excellent food and wine. All staff super pleasant and efficient. Walked around the vineyard and grounds after lunch. Beautiful and imaginative planting. Hoping to return soon for a tour. Really impressed by the whole enterprise.

We had an amazing afternoon at Kenton Vineyards we were seated in the cabin huts in the vineyard was a lovely setting and were given a complimentary glass of fizz for my mums birthday. Service is naturally a little slower as you are seated away from the main restaurant but we were ok with that. Food was outstanding we loved it. My only feedback is we didn’t get arancini balls that were included in the Italian platter and the bread basket focaccia didn’t taste very fresh. Overall amazing experience and can’t wait to be back.
