Matfen Hall - Emerald Restaurant Restaurant Diner Reviews
"This tasting menu is prepared to meticulous and exacting standards but where are all the customers? At £90 the menu is offers exceptional value but the Emerald Room restaurant is located deep within the the very pricey 5 star Matfen Hall Hotel (which I think must be deterring even some of the most adventurous customers). The lack of customers meant that the ambience was somewhat “flat” and the relatively few members of staff became “overly chummy”"

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).
