We arrived at Sudbury House reception and were shown through to the restaurant drawing room for canopies and our coats were taken whilst we choose from the menu. We had rung ahead regarding our dietary requirements (gluten/nuts) and the chef was very accommodating by changing a few dishes to meet our needs. We were asked if we were there for an occasion? I said it was for my birthday.
We were shown through to the dining room and enjoyed seven courses of carefully selected and exquisitely presented food. Each course was served by the waiters who then explained the ingredients and the idea behind the dishes. Whilst we were waiting for the bill, we noticed the card on the table was hand written, the team had all signed to wish me a happy birthday, it made the night and I was so grateful.
This was a fantastic experience which I highly recommend, we loved every moment. It should be a Michelin restaurant with the level of presentation and attention to detail.
Excellent food and atmosphere by talented chefs. Good value for a top quality restaurant. Recommended for those special occasions!
Fantastic restaurant. The chefs are outstanding, food is superb and a fabulous range of wines. Staff provide excellent service and are always so welcoming. We love this place, a crime it doesn't have a couple of Michelin stars.
Went to a wedding breakfast at Restaurant 56 where we had the taster menu. It was a truly wonderful experience. The food was amazing and the chef and his team spoke to the guests about how he made the various parts of each course. Nothing was too much trouble.
Fine dining at it's best, beautiful setting for a fabulous restaurant. We tried the Prime tasting menu and the food was exquisite, has to be awarded a Michelin star anytime soon. The professionalism of all the staff contribute to an all round amazing dining experience. We travelled to stay in Oxfordshire for a few day's especially to be able to try the restaurant as it has been on my "to do list" for the last year. Andrew Scott and Nick Bennett are amazing chefs.
My 2 friends and I had a delightful meal. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to one of our dairy and gluten free needs was exemplary. The food was divine and the service perfect.
Took my wife here for her birthday. The food and wine is simply out of this world, cannot recommend enough. The staff will look after you and can have a laugh with them
Great ambience but portion sizes small yet highly priced.
Happy with the food quality and the service. Have returned several times since when on shoots in local Oxford area. Always pleased and never disappointed. I would thoroughly recommend.
Had afternoon tea. Good selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes. Good coffee too. Grounds were small so unable to walk it off afterwards.
Very quaint place. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Service was great and the scones (as in (s)cones not (sc)ons :-) were lovely and fresh.
Amazing experience, amazing menu and food and great service. Will definitely come back here for a special occasion again!
Great food, great service, very quiet but it is Tuesday night. Lovely evening. Thank you.
Excellent service, excellent food, best restaurant around well worth going to
Good food cooked well, problem was bad service otherwise it would have been 5 stars
Had a great lunch. Great value for money and kid friendly.
Almost empty. Set menu was good. Not too pricey.
