Zen Garden At Careys Manor

Lovely food, had the sea bass for the starter which was done well and then had the lamb shank for the main which was great. The broccoli side was very under cooked and once the kitchen had closed the waiting staff seemed to disappear. They didn't charge me for the broccoli side which I appreciate but considering the price of the meal its basics. My starter arrived 5 mins after ordering and I had to ask for the main to come a bit later. I was told I could have 15 mins before my main which is fine but it came out after about 6 mins. The restaurant its self is delightful but I'm really disappointed in the service.

Amazing food and wonderful service. Some of the best food I have eaten. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Best Thai food I've ever eaten in the UK, hands down. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is great too. Very zen. Vegetarian options: Separate vegan menu, didn't try but it looks very tasty too. Dietary restrictions: Staff asked if we had any allergies or intolerances as they gave us the menu. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50

My other half and I ate at The Zen Garden a couple of weeks ago. We had previously visited this restaurant to celebrate our engagement back in 2019 and were looking forward to eating here again. We ordered the satay, spring rolls and papaya salad which were delicious and full of flavour. Unfortunately the mains were not up-to scratch (Pad Thai Goong Tofu with mixed veg). This was particularly disappointing for my partner who is vegetarian so options are not as broad as non-veg options. The Tofu with mixed veg dish (Med Ma Muang) in particular was very disappointing. The tofu was very tough and rubbery (Which is characteristic when there is too much excess water held in the tofu). When brought to the waitress ' attention she kindly asked the chef on our behalf and the feedback was that this was the way it was cooked (This dish was not rubbery during our last experience). For a dish that costs £18.95, I think the minimum expectation is for the main condiment of the dish to me edible which was definitely not the case. As as result we left the dish untouched. Overall, it was a disappointing experience considering we had such positive memories of this place from our engagement. Parking: Sufficient parking spaces for both non electric cars.

Excellent food and service. Not cheap but great evening. Will try the other restaurants at the same hotel! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £60–70 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
