We were staying at Griffon Forest and get 10% off the bill.It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we had pre booked a table.On entering the restaurant the noise was deafening and we were unable to hear what the waiting staff were saying.There was a large party there including very young children who would not behave and whose parents ignored what they were doing.At one point the children forced of the fire exits and still no rebuke from the adults.The staff were overwhelmed by the party but still managed to sort out the rest of the guests and soon the restaurant was full.My wife has to have Gluten Free food as she is Ceoliac and the menu caters for special diets.The food was very tasty and...
If you’re staying at the Griffon Forest holiday lodges, an evening meal at Tykes Restaurant comes highly recommended by me.Despite a lively wedding reception going on at Sandburn Hall, the atmosphere within Tykes restaurant itself was warm, relaxed and welcoming. We were informed the menu had just changed the day before and it reflected the change in seasons to autumn. Hand on heart the food was absolutely amazing. The contrast of the cheese soufflé with tomato chutney worked so well. The beef fillet was very tender, I ate every scrap something as a very fussy meat eater I rarely do. The combinations of food on your plate were brilliant but non more so than with my poached apples, croissant...
Hard to describe just how depressing this was, but sadly expectations were set very low from the outset thanks to damaged tables with a sticky finish, probably down to the cleaning agent. Just poorStaff pleasant enough but what turned up was what depressingly bad catering straight from what that is all about: low quality produce badly prepared Worst of all it is the restaurant for Sandburn Hall Hotel, which is a new, very pleasant and well finished establishment we would happily use again, but would go to the Harry Ramsden's establishment just down the road.Gained clear impression that none of this was news to the hotel staff
We were staying 3 nights at Sandburn Hall with breakfast and dinner jncluded at Tykes. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. We found the evening meal had a restrictive menu if you stayed for 3 nights. I would have like more choice with perhaps some salads or pasta dishes. We had been for a meal on on boxing day and they had a fabulous menu and everything was delicious. The meals we had were good and the service was great.

Not been to Tykes for a while so booked a table to meet friends. It is a really great restaurant space but it was so cold, which is something I remember from the previous visit. Not sure whether it was air con or just cold air because of the size of the place. This also meant that, although the food came out on hot plates, it also went cold quite quickly. Such a shame as the food was lovely. Not sure about a return visit.
Stayed at Sandburn hall hotel for 2 nights to attend a wedding. Had the seafood platter starter which was lovely but omg the fillet of beef main was to die for! Best meal I've had in while, it was just so good! Also had 2 breakfasts here which we could not fault, had everything you could want.
I guess the message about the food already got out given it was absolutely dead on a Friday night. Our food was really poor, tasteless and not matching the descriptions at all. Small portions lacking seasoning with dry, overcooked meat. One to avoid!
Food was absolutely perfect, service was amazing, Jonah was the perfect waiter, looked after us from start to finish and never let my glass go empty!
