Overall we enjoyed our Xmas meal but it wasn’t exceptional and it wasn’t value for money. It was well overpriced for what we ate! Oh well never mind, it was Christmas, but wouldn’t choose to eat here again. Their cream tea was very average too! Beautiful hotel however , the bedroom was extremely comfortable and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

The food was absolutely gorgeous and probably the best meal I’ve had all year! Staff were friendly and helpful. Genuinely can’t fault it at all. Dinner at the Bonham at Christmas is becoming a tradition for us, long May it continue. Thanks to all the staff who made it a fantastic night

Very enjoyable Christmas lunch from the Festive menu. Plenty of choice and half a bottle of wine included with the meal. Food was very tasty, well prepared and well presented - service was very good with friendly and professional staff from the moment we arrived. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon in the tasteful surroundings that is The Bonham.

Travelled from Glasgow for afternoon tea. The hotel is welcoming and a lovely lounge available for afternoon tea. We had a variety of teas, all delicious, and the food was very good. Would highly recommend if you want a smaller more intimate setting and experience. It felt very special. The staff were attentive, friendly, but not over bearing.

I have been to The Bonham quite a few times before, however, never to the restaurant. The food, service and staff were all excellent as always and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I would have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending The Bonham to any of my friends. I look forward to coming back again and dining there very soon. The Snoozy Boozy lunch was excellent value for money. Thank you.
