The Romney - Menu

Had a voucher so cheap afternoon tea. The dinners looked tasty! The service was slow but pleasant and friendly. The sandwiches were not copious but nice and fresh and displayed nicely. Plenty of mini cakes, small but decent scones and clotted cream but not enough jam. Nice setting and beautiful walks ! Had to pay to park. Would definitely return though!

Took the wife for a birthday meal having browsed previous reviews.The staff are welcoming,proffessional and most of all caring for your enjoyment of both food and service.Situated in the historic MOTE HOUSE,which has been refurbished in a sympathetic way to the original history.The food,which is locally scourced and all home made was excellent.Good choice, price and well presented.Would highly advise to book in advance.

Drove in to check if suitable to bring big family group for breakfast ... website says they open at 8am .... Found people to be quite unwelcoming bordering on snobbish; rude in fact. I am under 50 and was planning to bring 12 15 people visiting the area, as it looks amazing and a lovely setting when u find it .... We will be going Elsewhere. Not really sure if they open for breakfast, it may depend on your attire, or possibly your age.

I reserved an afternoon tea for myself and my sister, and I have to say, once we finally found the location (which was a bit of a challenge), we were very impressed. However, I was not happy about having to pay for parking. I believe they should refund us, as we were dining at the restaurant. The afternoon tea itself was delicious, and I couldn't find any faults with it, except for the fact that it was a bit overpriced for the portion sizes.

Our first visit for Sunday lunch was fantastic. The setting was superb, the food was great, and the service was excellent. The prices were reasonable, and we definitely plan to return. A helpful tip: Enter from the crossroads with T lights on Willington street and park in either the visitors car park on the left or in the Mote Park car park on the right, which is £2.00 for 6 hours. The driveway next to the visitors car park leads directly to the door, so if you need to drop off, take this route then return to the car parks, as it is only 200 yards away.

My wife and I have been here several times previously for coffee and cake on a walk around the park and have always found it a haven of peace set in a lovely location. Today we returned for Sunday lunch and were delighted with our experience .The dining room was lovely, smartly presented and remarkedly good value. We had a choice of three roasts and also two or three courses starter, main and puddings). The young man in charge of the restaurant was efficient and polite and added to our enjoyment of our lunch. All three courses were delicious and our experience was very positive , we will return to this hidden gem, thank you.

I recently went for the Festive Afternoon Tea at Mote House and it was a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds! The setting was truly spectacular, with a perfect blend of 21st-century touches and old-world elegance. The tea was served in the Romney dining room, with beautiful white linen tablecloths and napkins, elegant dining chairs, and silverware and crockery that added to the delightful experience. The food was everything you could wish for - delicious, with a great variety and beautifully presented. The well-trained and welcoming staff made the experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be returning in the future.

My family took me toThe Romney to celebrate my birthday and it was perfect. The dining room is a beautiful space and very comfortable, the food was delicious especially the Apple tart tatin which was made fresh to order and was to die for! Chloe our waitress was lovely, so polite and helpful. It was a perfect evening but why were we the only customers on a Saturday evening when everything is so good? OK the parking was a bit difficult to find and it is a short walk to the restaurant but you can drop off at the door then move the car. I live in Maidstone and had never heard of it so maybe a little more though needs to go in to where and how it is advertised. We will definitely be going again.

My daughter booked afternoon tea for 4 of us for Bank Holiday Monday. When we were shown to our table, the manager did not look happy, and certainly did not help us with our seats, and gave us no menu.The waitress was of Eastern European origin and was also not welcoming. As we sat there we realised that without a menu we could not see what our options were. My daughter went to request one. She asked the manager, but before he had time to answer, the waitress could be heard saying “I have already given her one” which of course she had not. We felt that this was such a poor start for what we had anticipated, and a definite dampener, that we decided to leave. Not a good introduction to what mi...
