Mr & MRS Smith Bingham Riverhouse

We have just enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch here to celebrate our youngest daughter’s 24th birthday. Great food coupled with excellent wine in a relaxed environment with discrete service. Truly enjoyable, and we will be back I am sure, especially to sit outside to watch the river flow past!

Not what I expected from what I saw from the advising pictures. The ** (two stars rating category) would be more appropriate.

We had the most fantastic experience whilst dining here on Saturday as a birthday treat and cannot fault any aspect of our evening. We were lucky enough to be shown to a table on the outside terrace with sunshine and a view of the river. Our food was delicious and our waiter, attentive and friendly as was every member of staff that we met. We adjourned to the bar and stayed late into the evening and again the staff were happy to chat and make you feel at home, we even had an impromptu tour of the wedding venue which was a bonus as it is stunning. We will be back for another birthday in a couple of months as it is now our all time favorite.

We booked in for the Chris**as lunch set menu 6 courses at £200 each The service and reception frosty yup felt like the team dint want to be there The food was really unacceptable I can’t think of one thing cooked correctly. Dot and tweezer cooking with no technical skills it really was a bit of a joke . Next year Scott’s or a well cooked pub lunch as this kitchen needs to re think as most customers now a days know what good cooking is and it’s not creating a picture on the plate disregarding the ingredients and how to cook them ! Oh the petit fours where nice 😳

What an incredible disappoin**ent. Do not attend as they prioritise profit over service. I had booked the 5-course taster for Chris**as for myself and my wife as a surprise for her. We have had an awful year with her losing her mum in August and me losing my Dad in September. So we were looking forward to a nice, relaxing experience. We showed up and it was very busy and we were told we would be seated in the bar as they had a lot of bookings. This was not acceptable at all. It was loud, busy and in no way a relaxing environment. The table we were pointed at was next to a large, loud and drunken group of people who were more interested in drinking. We told the staff that it was not acceptable and they offered another seat in the bar. Clearly not understanding that this was unacceptable. A bar is great for chicken and chips but an expensive 5-course taster menu?? The Maitre’d said he would fix it and went to two different rooms and was still unable to find a table of any kind never mind in a relaxed environment. The taster menu with wine runs to over £300 per couple and we expect much better service for this level of cost! The Maitre’d then said he would find another restaurant for us. We expected he had an in but just called another place and could not get through. After such a terrible year, this was just an awful experience. They have said they will refund the deposit but surely should compensate us for their. If we had not shown up they would have kept our money yet when they do not fulfill their side of the contract there is no downside. We have been there before and had a fabulous experience but they were clearly prioritising profit over service. OK for a fish and chip shop but not an expensive restaurant. Do not go there.

We had our wedding here in September. It really exceeded our expectations - Amy and Ricardo who were our contacts went above and beyond for us. We are so grateful for the most wonderful experience from beginning to end, I cant recommend it enough. The food was excellent, the setting perfect, the service impeccable and every one of our guests had a truly wonderful time. thanks to everyone at the Riverhouse for giving us the time of our lives - we can't wait to find a reason to go back.

Recently hosted a work event at Bingham Riverhouse, led by the fantastic Amy. The team's service and food were exceptional, creating an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for any social or corporate gathering!

What an absolute treat on the hottest day of the year! The setting is truly fantastic, the food was amazing (set menu) , a glass or two of our favourite , Nyetimber champagne and Rose, the latter being perhaps a tad expensive for what it is. However, what really stood out was absolutely first class service. Efficient, extremely thoughtful and personable. Definitely way over and above the norm, in every respect. This started with Carl on the front desk who graciously pushed our booking back as we were running late. He gave us directions for parking as a wedding was on and therefore no hotel parking available. Yulia, our waitress was just lovely and so, so thoughtful. Then Ricardo the manager came over for a chat and it was immediately apparent that his leadership really does set the standards: in our opinion faultless. He even arranged for us to have a private car parking space when our meter expired, as we had a baby in tow. Can’t wait to return and maybe have one of the glass garden igloos before Chris**as. Thank you to all the team for a truly memorable day.

What a amazing hotel staff so friendly you went above and beyond thankyou we will be back such a relaxed a**osphere lovely rooms everything was perfect food was lovely thankyou for your hospitality
