Three friends and I went to La Manoir last Friday for lunch to celebrate one of my friends 50th birthday. What a lovely place to do that. We arrived early for our table but were shown through to the lovely lounge area where we enjoyed drinks and really unusual/imaginative hors d'oeuvres and olives. We were then shown through to the lovely conservatory dining room where we enjoyed the 10 course taster lunch. Every course was delicious and served by really charming staff. They described the course to us as it was presented so we knew exactly what we were eating, and also answered any questions we had. They were very attentive with the wine/water refills but we never felt like we were being crowded. We finished off the meal with a selection of cheese from the most amazing cheese board I have ever seen. We then wandered in the beautiful gardens, where all the fresh produce for the restaurant is grown. We were there from 12.15 until about 4.30 and had a really lovely time. I would recommend this eating experience to anyone. It is the place for a special as it is not cheap, but a real treat to have now and then.
