It is always a delight to dine at Nutfield Priory. The maitre d' could not be more charming and helpful and has almost become part of the reason we go there. The food is always exceptional, the surroundings stunning and the attention to detail is impeccable - always fresh flowers around, and real fires alight. You can have a pre-dinner drink in the library, with book-lined shelves and ornate carvings and they offer champagne by the glass, which always starts the evening on the right note. The prices are not cheap, but you enjoy, in my opinion, a truly unique and exciting evening. I just never tire of looking at the architecture and wondering what amuse bouche we will be presented with. Even waiting for the petit-fours after dinner with coffee is fun, as someone has clearly spent time and effort thinking up new ones to make each time we visit. Bravo Nutfield Priory - it is the only place to go for a special night out. Food superior to a lot of other places.

Excellent venue, dedicated staff, superb wine, presentation excellent. Downside from start in the evening, disabled bays taken by two Aston Martin V8 cars not displaying disability blue badges, making it difficult to park on the 10th May.

Seems that as it was a Thursday, the corporate side of the venue, seemed to me leery and noisy, and the dress code even in modern times seemed to me lacking, drinking out of bottles and a person in football attire.

The food was for the price was excellent, but not as good as the Dining Room in Reigate.

What was annoying was that it was cold that evening, and there was no heating on. Saying all that, a good evening was achieved. Hope this will be of help.
