Monkey Island Brasserie

An idyllic location but I’m afraid that’s where it ends. We ordered aperitifs and were served the wrong drinks. The prawn cocktails are substandard, sweet cheap tasting sauce and hunt the prawns. £15 each The duck was full of sinew and for this reason I am pleased the serving was so small. The fish and chips, fish had raw batter that coated your mouth and a very thin sad piece of haddock. The chips were its saving grace which were very nice. The £40 ribeye was tough and tasteless The blood orange sorbet when it was served had melted and was in fact blood orange soup. It was a fantastic sunny day on Easter Friday and it should have been very busy, we now have some idea of why. What a shame and such a waste of such a lovely location. The summary. Terrible food Inadequate, disinterested service. Expensive Trading on the location alone. Don’t go.

It's been many years since we visited the monkey island. During this time, the venue has seen its fair share of up and down. The restaurant has recently undergone a facelift that has been tastefully completed. The view from the terrace is worthwhile. We had already checked the menu on the line and had chosen what we would order. Unfortunately, the menu has been changed very recently and the bar menu is not available on weekdays. So a rethinking was necessary. We went fabulous for soup), Sirloin Steak £55) and the chicken. The presentation of food was fabulous. The service was attentive. Karla deserves special mention that they go out their way to help us and show us around the property. expensive? Yeah. Yeah, worth a visit?

Our waiter, Luke was attentive and welcoming. The ambiance of this place is great. Such a pretty setting and the decor throughout is beautiful. The food was excellent. The chicken and duck were the most succulent we have ever had and would definitely have again. All in all this was a beautiful dining experience with the customer at its heart.

Fabulous afternoon tea. Lovely quality of food, and great selection of savoury and sweet treats. Service was polite but staff could have checked in to offer more tea drinks during service.
