Makeney Hall - Amber Valley

I had a lovely three course dinner party with my family and friends for my birthday recently, and the whole experience was excellent. I had requested a round table so all eight of us could sit around and speak and enjoy the relaxing and beautiful dining room. The gentle piano background music was perfect and added to the elegant ambiance. The staff were all lovely, and the restaurant manager, Oliver, made sure everything was perfect for us. All the dishes on the menu for the evening were delightful. Perfect seasoning, balance, and portion sizes, so that the three courses were comfortably manageable. My guests all remarked on their various choices, and said how tasty it all was. I was so pleased that I had made my reservation, and that I was able to have such a perfect celebration, at very short notice. Thank you for saving the day for me, and reminding us all that we have an excellent nearby restaurant in which to dine for future dates. I'll certainly be back to enjoy the food again.

This hall has lovely friendly efficient staff and it’s a lovely old hall grounds , we were a table of four for Sunday dinner and I couldn’t fault the quality of and presentation of the food we will definitely be going back in the near future .

Used the Resturant part of this hotel before, having enjoyed our previous visits we decided to take our family for some Christmas fare, now 17 of us not any easy number to cater for although we did use their set menu selection which was more than adequate. Service was good, food arrived on time with the orders correct, and, we did not feel rushed. Large groups or couples are well catered for with plenty of space to get out the way for quiet time if required. Great setting, and easy to get around for those with mobility problems.

We've been twice. Once for dinner and once for a champagne breakfast. On both occasions, there were slight issues with the convenience of the layout and considerable wait times. However, on both occasions, the food, drink, and service were perfect and very modestly priced.

Attended a family birthday at Makeny Hall and it was first class. It’s a lovely old building set in stunnning grounds with plenty of car parking.There was a great choice of food on the menu and the meal itself was excellent and served very professionally by efficient and attentive staff.For those wanting a drink there is a good choice at the bar.All in all a nice experience.
