The Clock House - Ripley

A really memorable evening in very relaxed surroundings with very friendly waiting staff. The tasting menu was superb and the choice of wines to accompany each course had been very carefully chosen. Our first experience of michelin star dining and we will do it again sometime.

Fantastic lunch,very tasty and service excellent.
Would highly recommend this restaurant
5 stars and 2 very happy diners

Just perfect, and all dishes amazing, no favourite.

Superb tasting menu with accompanying wine flight. Excellent service too.

It was a wonderful evening. We had the taster menu and I found myself enjoying things I thought I didn’t like. A lot of thought and care had gone into the presentation and the staff were very attentive. Thank you Clockhouse for a very special experience.

Excellent food and very nice attentive staff

First time we did something like this ... quite an experience

Great food. Great waitress who was very knowledgable about the food and very engagaing.

A delightful experience throughout, from the pre-visit courtesy call to the complimentary sweets which accompanied coffee. The service was exemplary: friendly. knowledgeable, unhurried, and attentive without being intrusive. We three friends meeting up for a pre-Christmas lunch had the set lunch of four courses. This is the sort of dining where there is not a lot on the plate but each dish contains unusual, interesting and exciting combinations of perfectly prepared ingredients and you can be confident that whatever is on the menu will be delicious. Our choices included smoked haddock with pickled turnip which sounds a bit odd but was exquisite; a dessert of gingercake lifted from the ordinary with a range of embellishments including caramelised pumpkin seeds; half a dozen British cheeses with membrillo, dabs of pear and saffron chutney and truffle honey. The venison was cooked to perfection - soft, pink and full of flavour. The duck confit in the celeriac fondant was a delicious surprise.
There is a vast winelist from which we chose an Argentinian malbec which was excellent and reasonably priced.
We departed after a couple of hours of full on enjoyment - and The Clockhouse is firrmly on our returns list.

Everything was up to usual high standard*
