Our group went for breakfast, it was pretty quiet inside, maybe as it was a beautiful day. I had the full English, the beans had not been cooked (the ramekin was cold), sausage was small and cold, bacon overcooked and portion was small for £13. The rest of the party had pancakes, which were not 'fluffy American' style as billed, but looked like the kind you can pick up at any supermarket. My friend couldn't drink her coconut milk Chai Latte as it didn't taste very good, and it cost nearly £5. Finally, the service wasn't great. When I asked for my beans to be re-heated I'd nearly finished my meal by the time they arrived, and the waitress just said "here you go" and walked off. No apology, and no manners. Overall it was really disappointing. Is it new management? I loved it last time I went!

Went for brunch on Monday. Its always busy and we had a bit of wait (20 mins) to order and (20 mins) to get our food. I had the full breakfast and my wife had the chocolate fudge cake. Food was good, unusually I had a choice of lamb or a chicken sausage £13. The cake was relatively small for £5..half of what you would get in Dobbies. The quality showed thru so they are ordering stuff at the higher end of the Bidvest wholesale catering supply. Overall the staff are friendly albeit they're over worked and kitchen was backed up. It's a very pleasant spot, with about 10 tables. I think at off peak times a good place for a coffee and a chat. I'll go back.

This is a great little venue however the service was not great , took over a hour to get our food and when we asked how long it would be we had a very defensive reply from the waitress , on top of this we got over charged at the end on our bill , added a flat white when we never ordered it. There was no apologies for the slow service and didn’t seem to care

Lovely atmosphere and setting. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is great - delicious!

Lovely food, pretty restaurant and great service.

Excellent food, excellent service and exceptional staff, would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our Sunday lunch. The food was perfectly cooked and well presented. The service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely recommend The Foresters Arms to others and will return soon.

Great food. Lovely friendly service from Baba & his staff Recommended

We went to the White Horse for Sunday lunch last Sunday,and we both had the roast beef,which was delicious,well cooked and very generous portions,one of the best roast we have had for a long time,and good value for money,definitely will be going back.

First class food, venue and service!

Wonderful place of verdant green foilage as you step through the door...Beautiful plants for sale and unusual gifts. With a great wine bar specialising in South African wines, I sampled a couple of them...very good indeed. I had the signature board of hams and cheese...yum. Extremely friendly staff very warm and welcoming. Will return to sample more delicious wines and food.

I'd booked a table at the hatch as I wanted to sit outside. Never having visited Denbies I wasn't aware of the other restaurants available. I was quite disappointed as the there was very little choice for lunch and no hot options like fish and chips shown on the sample menu. The Panini I ordered was nothing special came with no salad or anything else and costed close to £10. The location of the hatch is not good either as it is next to the car park and has no real view of the vineyard.

Unfortunately, we booked a table at The Hatch, just after restrictions lifted & were unaware that the Gallery restaurant had reopened. We were greeted with “ you can sit anywhere & order at the hatch, or I’ll serve you if you like “ we opted for service & were promptly forgotten. When the paninis did finally arrive, they were chewy and tasteless. They should have been served with chips & slaw as per the menu, but were not. We were given warm tap water and it was an extremely hot day. All in all, not a good experience. We will head upstairs again next time

Really disappointing. Marquee was right next to the car park, the plastic sides of it were down on the hottest day of the year, so it really noisy and stuffy, the ground was just dust, not lawn and the picnic tables were wobbly and not very clean. The waitstaff looked like they were trying their best but we’re pretty harried and service was slow and disorganised. Slightly affronted to be asked to pay immediately and then whether we wanted to add a tip when they brought our drinks (missing some of the order) before we had even had anything! Not quite sure why they say you need to book a table as there were plenty of people rocking up to the counter to order. Food was ok but nothing special. Overall, really disappointing and won’t be recommending or returning.

I was very excited to enjoy a lovely lunch at the Hatch on the Lawn, however it was very disappointing. We were seated at a table that was too hot to sit at. Offered another table in a rather grotty maquis, that had the plastic walls still attached on the hottest day of the year. Our waitress was very uninspiring and looked very miserable (although I would have been too working in that heat) . The lawn was more of a dusty muddy gravel area directly next to the car park. We ordered 2 chicken burgers and 2 fish & chips. It was all very bland and no condiments were offered. The drinks came with no ice (even when asked for). Nearly £70 for a what was really a rather shonky takeaway, did not go down to well. The poor young people who were running it really didn’t have a clue. It was definitely not the gorgeous lunch on the lawn I was expecting.

Excellent food and service on a busy Sunday lunch time. So lovely to be able to sit outside with lovely big sunshades. Dare I say it but an improvement on Denbies’ downstairs dining which tends to get too hot in the summertime

Really disappointing... We booked a wine tasting at 15:00, so we wanted to have some lunch before, therefore we booked a table at the hatch at 14:00, so we could eat and then go for a little walk around the vineyard before our booking. We arrived just a couple of minutes before and were asked to choose a table as it wasn't busy. All the empty tables were still dirty and the plates hadn't been cleared from previous customers that had eaten. We waited for 20 minutes and even though we were looking at the waiters clearly calling for their attention, they looked back at us many times and continued to ignore us. After 5 minutes, (this is now a 25 minute wait) a waiter approached us to take our order. By then it was too late as we had lost our appetite and didn't want to lose out on the rest of our plans. Long story short we never had our meal and when we left, our table had still not been cleared of the previous customer's dirty plates. We might try the restaurant gallery next time as the rest of the place is lovely. But won't recommend the hatch or will ever be back.

Panini very good, fish and chips ok, wine lovely! Friendly and helpful service.
