AMAZING!! We reserved a safari-style hut to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our family on Saturday at lunchtime. There were six of us. Firstly, the greeting and hospitality were superb. The service was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overwhelming. The hut experience itself was fantastic—very comfortable even though we were experiencing a typical English wet summer day. The food was exceptional, as was the wine. Thank you for a lovely day and the complimentary fizz to celebrate our anniversary.

Well, what a fabulous time we had ! The ambience of Kenton Park estate is perfect for a sunny day. The planting and seating are tastefully spaced, well planned attractive and add to the feeling of relaxed quality. The service was excellent, attentive and unrushed. The food was delicious, the men had thd lamb extravaganza, we girls the moules and prawn tosdadas ( diificult to eat ) . Deserts.... fabulous. Worth noting that the seafood platter needs to be pre ordred. Conclusion: beautiful place, great food. Will be visiting again soon

4 of us came for a late lunch. The service was friendly helpful, unrushed, and charming. The menu had a nice variety of choices and prices. Food was delicious, especially the very large bowl of moulds.. Wine was wonderful. A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Good food, good service and a great relaxed ambience set off by some lovely weather. An all round wonderful lazy lunch.

We had a lovely anniversary lunch…prawn tostades and a glass of crisp white wine, followed by chocolate brownie and ice cream. The tostades were a little messy to assemble, but tasted delicious. The service was exceptionally good….friendly, helpful and efficient. The whole meal was not cheap, but good quality and fair value for money. We would love to visit again!

My 2nd visit and it was great. Treated my mum and her friend. Awesome food and super setting.

We booked a Vinyard Garden walking tour for 4 to celebrate our friend’s 70th birthday and everything was perfect! The package comprised a guided walk of the Vinyard and gardens with Anna, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the estate, plus beautifully-presented fresh vegetable and herb platters for lunch, followed by a 3-wine tasting, all served in our VIP safari hut by Connie, ending with a tea-making session using fresh herbs from the estate gardens. We were even each given a bunch of flowers picked from the vinyard gardens to take home and a souvenir magazine about the estate and the gardens. The venue is stunning and we took hundreds of photos! The team went out of their way to ensure we had an amazing time. It was incredible value for money and a truly unique and memorable day.

We came for a hen do at the weekend. Had Ben as our tour guide. Bert knowledgable, friendly and chatty & made the tour informal. The food after was amazing, plenty of it too. The only downside was being asked less than 24 hours in advanced about allergies and if it was a serious allergy we can bring our own food. Considering I have the allergy list 1/2 weeks prior and then heard nothing until 6pm the night before this was disappointing. However, they did then put on a lovely spread and did cater for our allergies as well so it was appreciated on the day. The wine was so delicious, and got plentiful on the tour!! Would recommend. Thanks again.

when we arrived we were very impressed with the setting and under the sunshine it felt like Provence. My friend had the dish of the day seared tuna. She found it was very disappointing and didn’t eat it! I had The brochette of scallops and fish. They were ok. A bit bland! Then we ordered dessert Eaton Mess. We found crumbs or meringue and 4 triangles of strawberry. The rest was cream. At £9.95 it was very overpriced. However we were not charged for them

Good food, friendly staff and beautiful setting, perfection.

We visited Kenton Park for lunch to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary on the recommendation of our friend "Stads" who regularly visits in a group. We were not disappointed and ordered a Whole Chicken for two, which was delicious. We also enjoyed a very fruity glass each of the Motley Cru Classic Cuvée. The puddings chosen were the Grapevine and Eton Mess which were exceptional. The service was very efficient, friendly and timely. Our Safari Pod was comfortable and Cosy, with good views of the vines. We will be very happy to return again for a special occasion, and recommend the venue to our friends.

Was overall a bit of a let down, service was so slow, was waiting 25 mins for someone to take our order, then when the food arrived 3 of our steak extravaganza's were burnt Would go back, but when they are less busy, as it seems like it was too busy for them to handle

We are a group of older ladies that get together for a luncheon every now and then. the surroundings where delightful, the service and attention given to us could not have been bettered. highly recommend the venue, the food and the wine especially the fizz was fantastic. the Motley Cru is definitely worth it and most of our group will be returning with their partners. Thank you for making us so welcome .PS love the walls in the loos had to touch it!!!

With no confirmation letter , and no one answering the telephone .I was quite concerned I had no booking for 6 people . Then I was emailed to say that instead of 2 pm we could come at 1.30 so we arrived at 1. 25to be told that that is not so .. we will take your order at 2 pm .. we ate at 2.45 , A very nice entree but the Eton Mess desert had no meringue in it .. just whipped cream and a few raspberries everyone was disappointed. When mentioned to our waiter he said he was only the messenger . In fact disappointed with his attitude. Know it must be extra work when serving an outside pod but thought it best to let him know why they were not eaten . We have eaten in the restaurant before and service and food have been excellent that’s why we returned with these friends .

An impromptu lunch together in an impressive, contemporary setting dining on the outdoor terrace consisted of dining areas, lounge areas decorated with beautiful mature olive trees. The lunch menu was exciting and the lamb extravaganza we ordered was excellent, full of flavour with diverse vegetables including asparagus and samphire all complimented by a glass of vineyard rose wine. We explored the vineyard, viewed the dining pods and had a great four hour lunch. Great friendly knowledgeable staff who made our lunch truly special.

Delicious food, friendly and efficient staff, beautiful setting - what more do you need for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Kenton Vineyard has it all! Big 'THANK YOU' to the Motley Crew!
