Harden's says

A luxury hotel set in 300 acres of Hertfordshire countryside, The Grove is the lovingly restored former home of the Earls of Clarendon. The Stables restaurant and bar, located in the original 18th century stables, were relaunched in 2020; see also The Glasshouse.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

Away from the main property, with a terrace facing onto the golf course, this casually luxurious venue is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and would suit a smartly dressed-down weekend family meal. With its brasserie menu incorporating a selection of burgers and chicken and steak grills, fans “prefer it to the generally more highly rated Glasshouse at the same venue” although even some who mark it highly say: “it’s good, but some of the prices are just far too high”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
