First time back since the refurb. Very impressed .Alas the set menu was a real disappointment. My starter of goats cheese and beetroot was so miserly I had finished before my hubby had seasoned his soup .Two teaspoon sized pieces of cheese and one less than an inch sized piece of pear.The rest was squiggles of sauce on the plate.His soup was okay but had one long stringy bit of ham in it ,which he couldn't cut .The turkey dinner main was okay, the veg was nicely cooked and hot 2 sprouts each ,the stuffing was one tiny slice,no chipolatas but nice gravy.Didn't dare risk the sweet course but the coffee was very good. Hubby likes his red wine but I was driving ,so asked for a small glass of white,not dry.It is the first time ever I have sent back wine,it was sour.It was changed,with not much said and I enjoyed the replacement. Sorry but we won't be back ,had to have sweet and cheese course at home .

I recently visited the Lark Hill Restaurant with a party of 6. The restaurant is stylish, elegant and yet not off putting or ostentatious. There's a balcony which gives a great view of the 9 hole golf course and beautiful countryside beyond.The welcome from the staff is warm and solicitous and the bar has a nice selection of bottled beers.Also, there's a guest real ale on draft as well as the usual quality draft lagers.Being vegetarian, I started with cauliflower soup. It was perfectly seasoned and exquisitely balanced. I'm no cook, but I could almost taste the skill.The next course, mushroom risotto, was perfect. All of us had a great dining experience and continued enjoying the convivial atmosphere over a leisurely coffee. Before and during the meal, our satisfaction was ensured by the friendly, diligent waitresses.Overall, a memorable evening was had by all of us and I'm looking forward to our next visit.

This is a fabulous place for a 21st Birthday celebration. The food is lovely from the Carvery for Sundays lunches.
I would highly recommend the Oak Royal.
