The Tempus at Charlton Hall Estate

Lovely weekend stay at The Tempus as part of a wedding part on the first weekend of July. Room was very spacious and despite us being at the front of the hotel and on the ground floor the noise levels were very reasonable. Paul who served us at breakfast both days is an absolute credit! He very kindly re-did my breakfast one morning when I had arrived late after the wedding makeup I had gotten done and just genuinely is someone who deserves a mention.

Fabulous location with beautiful countryside views. The Orangery restaurant is light and airy and plenty of tables but not over crowded. The decor is extremely unusual but equally eye catching and totally suited to the environment. It's very modern and typically modern, trendy interior designer format but absolutely gorgeous. I am certain everyone would love it! The menu we had was a set Sunday menu between £32 -£40 per person depending on how many courses. The food was fabulous. We went for a birthday occasion and was not disappointed. Beautifully presented starters and a huge choice and plentiful main course. We picked Duck croquettes and cheese soufflé to start and trio of meats with veg and cauliflower cheese as mains. Everything was cooked to a perfect standard and served nicely. We had drinks too. All served with a smile! I would highly recommend the drive out to this restaurant. I can not comment on the hotel facilities as was not a guest staying there.
