Beauberry House reviews

Information we received for Winter Wonderland 12/12/2008, staged by PR, was not the same as brochure we received. The entrance hall and the bar room smelt of urine and the dark brown bar room walls with orange ceiling were very depressing (in the brochure the walls and ceiling were white). We were left waiting for over an hour and had to find our own way to our table for dinner. No carol singers when arriving. Also no facilities for disabled people.

Had looked forward to a fantastic evening but felt like Cinderella, very sad.

The building is beautiful. The interior is lovely. The food is OK but not for the price. The wine is terribly expensive and not so good. Have been 4 times, 2 visits for anniversaries but it's not really worth it.

I would advise that restaurant management should ensure a proper cleaning of upstairs function rooms and terrace in advance of any function. Wedding guests were shocked that they had to be ever so vigilant to avoid dusty, sticky surfaces. There was a very 'cold' atmosphere as guests arrived, since no effort was made by the staff to make them feel welcome. The meal was very poor, pretentious, leading to disaster. Lamb was unrecognisable either visually or by taste.

I went there for Sunday lunch with my boyfriend. Although food was good, it was not exceptional. We wanted to treat ourselves to a nice bottle of Ruinart champagne, but they only had one bottle left and it was a half bottle - disappointing, as the rest of the champagnes on their list are not that great! They'd obviously had a wedding/party on the night before and our nice stroll around the house did not offer up many pretty sights (plenty of beer bottles and glasses left around). Main waiter was fine but waitresses and hostesses were clueless. So all in all, I am not that impressed. It is a shame, as this is such an amazing building. Would head to nice gastro pub in East Dulwich instead.

My partner and I, plus another couple, ate lunch here last Saturday. I have to say, I was very unimpressed. The main course was fine but no better than a half-decent

gastropub. They didn't have the wine we wanted, which was a shame. The waiting staff didn't make it clear that they had a two-course weekend brunch menu, so we ended up ordering desserts that we didn't really want, when I for one would rather have tried the starters.

Still, the restaurant itself is set in a lovely Georgian house surrounded by parkland. Nice for a stroll after the food.
