A truly memorable experience, I just wish we'd found it sooner! The food was incredibly tasty, and the staff were very polite, helpful and actively asking if everything was okay with the food. The ambience was perfect for celebrating an occasion, and was also Christmas themed which we loved. We'll definitely be coming back. What a special find. Dietary restrictions: They cater to all diets. One of the chef's is vegetarian.
Wonderful food and fantastic service, thank you for a lovely afternoon. A great way to celebrate a special occasion.
We chose the restaurant and the tasting menu based on the reviews. Unfortunately, it must have been a bad day in the kitchen or it simply was not to our taste. On a personal level, I found some of the elements of the dishes too greasy, too salty and lacking freshness and excitement. My husband started giving honest feedback to the staff for the first few courses but it was obvious that we were upsetting them. I fully appreciate this as it is their business and they must be proud of it. I did not find it worth the £130 per head but still ate the food as wasting food is not acceptable where I am from.
I went in a party of three and we all ordered turbot as neither of us is a massive meat-eater and neither of us wanted to eat a deer. The menu was small and the mains were pricey. The fish was beautifully-cooked but not sure if it warranted the price as you do need to order sides to be satisfied and this will push the price up of your main to about £40. The sides were good and bigger in comparison to sides you'd get in other restaurants; they were also beautifully-cooked. The dessert had snippets of rhubarb and was more flan than brulee; I'd rather chunks of rhubarb with a good, fragant custard. The food was excellent albeit pricey for what you were given but I'd still rate this restaurant five stars because of the beautiful outdoor setting and good service without which I'd probably rate Orwells four stars.
Really fantastic place, great atmosphere, absolutely incredible food. Staff were very attentive, really helpful with allergy information, and friendly. I can highly recommend the Muntjac, Need to go back and try the tasting menu!
A beautiful experience from beginning to end. Exquisite decor, lighting and ambiance -lovely attentive service, beautiful vibe and sensational food. We both went for tasting menu, one regular and one veggie. Faultless
Absolutely delicious British food. Went there with the family for a Sunday lunch and we were all really impressed with the cooking. Unpretentious and really well done. They also have an interesting selection of aromatic non-alcoholic cocktails. Yes it is quite far from London but we are really glad we made the trip out.
Our first time and will not be attending again. The food was only just luke warm for our party of friends and we had to wait 2 hours for our main dish. The excuse was they were busy. So i would say if the kitchen can't cope then don't be greedy and have to many customers. The staff were nice.
Everything was just wonderful: chill atmosphere, bangin' food and excellent service. Had the tasting menu - would definitely recommend!
Very very very disappointing 9 course tasting menu. A tasting menu is met to take you on a culinary adventure. We did not feel that at all. sadly this place is nowhere near yet? The Focaccia bread was dry and very salty. 1st course gave you a bunch of chives with miso. I didn't not understand this course at all. I kept chewing on the chives 2nd course a very disappointing oily and salty piece of finger bite fried chicken. OFC more like DFC 3rd jersey potato foam with a Tiny piece of very salty pork. At this stage all I could taste was salt in my pallet. 4th A very basic scallop with some curry sauce. Scallop was dry no seasoning. Curry sauce was poor. Very dated. 5th At this point of the menu we was expecting big and bold flavours. We were given a soagy crumpet size of a £2 coin with some slice pastrami and pickle cabbage. Very disappointing on a £130 tasting menu. You give me something like that it should be a different level of cooking not a soagy crumpet with slice beef. 6th lobster and tomato sauce was good. Overcooked lobster and rubbery. 7th mutgac I did not enjoy that at all. The meat was not seal properly all around. It feels like just been out of a waterbath. The potato rosti was oily and buttery. It puts you off. It mention bone marrow 8th dessert a bite size Mr Whippy. Can't fail on making ice cream. That was the only thing I enjoyed the whole night. 9th chocolate Ganache. a rocher of ganache. Chocolate tuile. Poor dish. A lot of focus on the plate, cutleries and not the food itself. The waitress was very nIce but didn't take the food feedback well. On finishing we pay the bill of £325 and we had to look where they kept our jacket we took out jacket and left We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Totally regret it. And came home still hungry
