I've been to Mary Green Manor three times over a long period of time and unfortunately this venue…read morehas so much to offer however in my opinion (which to be frank counts to me) the food (again) comes up short. A gorgeous venue with very polite and helpful staff. Our waiter Vic has been there for years and is very attentive, very pleasant and quite amusing at times too. But unfortunately the food has potential to improve, the pasta was poor, one beef steak wasn't cooked to our requirement although Vic offered to send it back (the other was very good indeed). Fish was apparently very good. Temperature in the restaurant was very warm to start and got hot pretty quickly. Aircon was only switched on when we asked although you'd expect an establishment of this calibre to have the temperature evenly controlled throughout the evening. We had a great evening but the food really needs to go up a level to get 4stars, let alone 5

I've visited this restaurant a few times, mainly for family lunch. So I was a little worried having…read moreread the last few reviews. New management, disorganised? Well no such worries for me. I had the salmon, sea bream and panacotta from the set menu. My wife enjoyed the asparagus, chicken followed by lemon tart. Food is excellent, beautifully presented and service was very good, with the exception of the lady who poured our Prosecco with too much gusto! Seems harsh to knock off a whole star for this so I'm sticking with a 5 star review. Great value for the money and I'm looking forward to going back.

The food was, as usual excellent. One of our party has a minor disability and the attention we received from the staff to make everyone comfortable was noteworthy. Well done The Manor.

We had the pleasure of staying at this "inn" for 4 nights. As a whole the place is quiet and clean…read more I would rate it similar to staying at a "high class motel". They offer no amenities. No lotion, no cotton balls, no q-tips, no shampoo, no conditioner. They do have a soap dispenser attached to the wall by the sink and one in the shower. They do not offer room service. If you would like to eat, you have to go the restaurant/bar next door. You can only order breakfast, lunch and dinner during specific hours. If you are hungry during the off hours you can "wait or go someplace else" as the front desk lady put it. No mini bar or snacks located in the room. They do have a vending machine out in the lobby. The bed is very uncomfortable. The pillows and down comforter are the only good things. They do offer a half hour of free wifi everyday.

Finding a decent restaurant to meet up with friends for Sunday lunch we decided on Ye Old Plough…read moreHouse in Bulphen. Entering their restaurant we noticed, for a change, that the tables were set out in A1 style. Beautiful folded linen napkins on a table laden with good cutlery ( laid out correctly for three courses), wine and water glasses, sauces for roast meals and coffee cups. So far so good, in fact, quite perfect. We ordered starters and main meals of turkey, beef and gammon. Now the negatives start entering. Starters were average. The main meals were totally tasteless and lacked adequacy. Roast potatoes needed a saw to cut them. The veggies were good, well cooked and in plenty. Service was very Essex. Little politeness from the young waitresses and, in some instances, the plates were 'thrown' onto the table. The serving staff do need a bit of training. Prices, I must admit, were reasonable. All I can say is that this establishment caters more for Weddings than normal running trade. Would we return.....Definite NO.
