I always love visiting Symondbury Estate, it’s such a peaceful and beautiful place. On this visit we had lunch in the tranquil courtyard and the atmosphere and food was perfect. As we couldn’t decide, my daughter and I shared the pork burger and lamb pitta. Both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

A noisy party nearby but obviously not your fault. We would have liked seasonal new potatoes including with fish dish please. Would of completed it.

The printed lunch menu seemed to have a more limited range than the one I'd read online. In particular,the online menu had a range of sandwiches, soup with the choice of several half-sandwiches and a small fish & chips for £10. None of these featured on tbe restaurant menu.

Despite there being fewer staff members, we were served very quickly and with great cheerfulness. The food was delicious and, despite there being a small menu, the variety and imagination always triumphs!

This was our first visit, to meet up with friends. We all greatly enjoyed our meal and the place and the service was first class, welcoming, quick and helpful. We will certainly return.

Had booked a table for 5 for a birthday lunch - mentioned on booking. Poor welcome - in an almost empty restaurant, being told to ‘go and wait by the door’ is not a good look - and the table had only 4 chairs which made it seem as though we were not expected (we arrived exactly on time). Menu was good but only one pork burger (at 1.30!) so not a good range for those who don’t eat fish. Mains were generally fine, though the lamb was disappointing (and looked unappetising: lamb only looks good hot: ask Nigella!). Puds / cakes very nice though again limited: ‘only one’ of several. Shame. If it were my business, I’d definitely want to do some work on staff meet and greet, and how to handle reduced menu options helpfully. Setting is gorgeous and tea in the garden afterwards made up for a rather flat experience indoors. Will revisit but it didn’t cut it for a special occasion, sadly. It’s all about the way you are treated, after all, isn’t it?
Unfortunately, not all items on the breakfast menu were available, though we weren’t told why. Otherwise, the service was excellent.
