The Greenhead Hotel

Nice friendly staff from arrival to departure. Good clean decor with quality food both evening meal and breakfast. Will definitely visit this hotel again.

I used to run my own kitchen and know how difficult it is to serve up well cooked, interesting dishes that also have an original twist - and keep to budget so that the customer doesn't get charged too much. The kitchen team at the Greenhead did an exceptional job. The menu is reassuring - not so big that you couldn't manage to cook everything fresh, which they obviously did. My arancini was Italian perfect - to die for. I had the pheasant which was cooked to perfection, as was the leg croquette. Even the cabbage was perfect - do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to get cabbage "just right" when cooking for large numbers? The temptation just to leave it sitting warm. . The wine list the same - not huge, but still very good. I had the Wakefield Riesling and the Argentinian Malbec ( V. V. nice!) Do not even get me started on the desserts - I stole some of my partners toffee pudding - yum! but best of all was my chocolate cremeaux. Oh, my. . . I eat out quite a bit, always searching for a "good" restaurant. I live on the South coast so that shouldn't be too difficult - but there's always something not right, sometimes WAY not right! The only thing I could find to complain about at the Greenhead was that there was nothing to complain about. I do enjoy a little moan. . none here. And the front of house staff were great, too nothing too much trouble, friendly and professional. Terrific place - such a pity it's so far from home - oh - there's my moan! So it really DID deliver on everything!

Fantastic inventive food served with panache by Charlotte, who was extremely helpful throughout the meal and our stay. The lovage parfait was the most memorable dish, but the souffle was also spectacular. Thoroughly recommended for food and a place to stay.
