Our hotel has an excellent reputation for imaginative cuisine and fine wines. Whether you choose the Oak Room, with its status as one of the best restaurants in the region, or the Brasserie, with its contemporary menu and informal atmosphere, we guarantee you will enjoy the experience to the full.

Al Fresco Dining is also available either on our stunning terrace or in basic or luxury picnic hamper form. For the more private among you, either enjoy all your meals in the privacy of your own bedroom, or make use of one of our stunning private dining rooms for your exclusive use.

We are more than happy to welcome children into our hotel and hope they enjoy the variety of dining as much as their parents. We provide highchairs in all our eating areas and each restaurant is happy to provide food that your child will enjoy. It’s not just the nearby attractions like Chessington that will keep your kids happy; the food here will be equally as fulfilling. 

The Oak Room

 

Lunch

Sunday - 12.30 – 2.30pm

 

Dinner 

Tues to Sat - 7pm – 9.30pm

 

Although we do not specify a dress code, most guests seem to enjoy dressing in smart casual attire.

For evening meals and Sunday lunch, book in advance to avoid disappointment.

The Oak Room is an elegant, wood panelled restaurant, rich in design and colour to blend in with the style of the rest of the hotel. With its dark greens and aubergines, it is an intimate restaurant seating a maximum of 30 guests to keep the atmosphere relaxed and calm. With its fantastic views of the gardens, it’s not only the view that looks artistic, the food too is presented spectacularly and you’ll enjoy not only looking at it, but eating it too.

Why not try our melt in the mouth grilled Dover sole, filleted at your table, with caper butter, spinach, soft cherry tomatoes, and sauté potatoes. Or, if meat is more your thing, try our new season Welsh lamb with summer bean cassoulet, braised potatoes and sauce vierge. Finish off with our crispy banana and toffee ravioli or a trio of chocolate desserts, or a selection of continental cheeses for the savoury toothed amongst you. Mouth-watering and delicious, whatever you choose.

Benson's Brasserie

The Brasserie provides a more informal, relaxed and buzzy atmosphere to enjoy a contemporary meal. The design of the restaurant is modern with its bar as the centrepiece to enjoy a drink pre or post dinner.

Whether you fancy a snack, such as a steak sandwich on French stick with horseradish mayo, sautéed onions and chunky chips or a goat’s cheese ciabatta with grilled vegetables and rocket salad, a pasta dish of spaghetti with clams and garlic or a full on meal such as rump of lamb on French beans with olive mashed potato, we guarantee we have something for everyone.

Our head chef Peter Wallner is more than qualified to produce the most fantastic modern European food for all our guests, whatever your likes and dislikes. Having worked at both the Lanesborough and celebrity hang out Aura in London, he creates fantastic dishes to suit even the fussiest of guests.

Don’t forget the Hand Picked philosophy though, that it is not only the amazing food and surroundings which are a given with Hand Picked hotels. Our main aim is that our guests feel relaxed and comfortable, and have fun, whatever their surroundings. We feel that we achieve the highest quality food to enjoy in an amazing environment, yet with that home from home feel that will leave you as relaxed as you can possibly be.

The Grand Hall

 

As if that isn’t enough, we also provide express breakfasts, light snacks and afternoon tea in our Grand Hall, a cosy and warm room with armchairs and sofas to sink into with its high ceilings and open fire. It’s even got a bar too. We’ve got it all covered.

The Bar

We’ve even got bars to suit your mood. If you fancy the hip cool atmosphere of the Brasserie cocktail bar, nip along for a mojito or a bellini, or even just a glass of water. If you fancy a more relaxing drink, maybe an Amaretto, a gin and tonic, or a cup of coffee, head along to the Grand Hall bar. Whatever your mood, we’ve got the bar to fit.

Al Fresco Dining

 

Our Brasserie Terrace provides the perfect setting for a bit of Al Fresco dining. Choose from our Brasserie menu and sit and watch the world go by, enjoying the fantastic gardens of Woodlands Park.
