★★★★★No doubt the weather helped but sitting out on the terrace for lunch was a fantastic experience; the food, service and ambience was fantastic. I am already booked in to return for an evening meal and will be encouraging friends to visit. You really feel like you’re somewhere special

★★★★★I cannot recommend lunch at The Hambledon Vineyard restaurant more highly. On a sunny day the setting is more akin to the South of France or Italy, the atmosphere was terrific, and the food was quite exquisite. Faultless.
We are local to the village and extremely proud and fortunate to have this wonderful and very impressive dining experience right on our doorstep. Bravo to the whole team.

★★★★★The menu had a lovely selection of seasonal dishes on it with choice from a la carte or set menus. We ordered a variety of dishes and we were all amazed with how colourful and full of interest they were. They looked amazing and tasted even better. Everything was cooked to perfection. The service was lovely, very attentive and helpful.

★★★★★Exceptional food with lovely service in absolutely beautiful surroundings. Having previously visited for tastings before the restaurant was opened I had high hopes, and I wasn’t disappointed. We will certainly be back, what a gem!

★★★★★This is our third visit. It's amazing to report that for those visits, we've never had a course, let alone a meal, that was below 5/5. The venue is stunning. The staff are delightful. And the food and drinks are superb. I'm not prone to hyperbole, but this restaurant is genuinely difficult to beat!

★★★★★Wow! What a beautiful setting. We were blessed with a warm, sunny evening and decided to take advantage and enjoy a bottle of the Hambledon sparking rose on the terrace before heading for our table. We could have been in a Mediterranean vineyard, it was absolutely stunning and such a beautifully curated venue from the long sweeping driveway past the vines to the meandering pathway to the restaurant through a herb garden. The food was incredible - wonderful flavours and presentation and each course flowed with perfect timing.
