The most obvious reason for visiting the Manor is to eat at Michael Caine s table . The hotel over all is clean and slightly outdated . Four of us stayed there one weekend and we were all disappointed with the lack of personality in the staff, the general feeling was that they were all just doing their jobs , the friendliest one being the doorman. We all opted for the taster menu . The first disaster being the sommelier who had absolutely no idea of the wine list if we had chosen the wines paired with the courses she would have been able to recite the recommendations off by heart when we asked for advice on bottles rather than glasses we were told there were dozens of choices which there were but she had no idea on the taste or acidity of any of them . After the first course we had to wait 45 minutes for the duck pate and it didn’t get much better after that . The following courses were brought by two waiters who stood at either side of the table and nodded at each other and discussed who was going to give the spiel on each course , it got worse with each course . Overall the food was mediocre nothing wrong but definitely nothing inspirational, sadly lacking in individuality. We were surprised they were part of the Relais & Chateau group having stayed in many we didn’t feel it was up to their standard
