    Had a great evening meal after seeing the lights. Food was really well presented and enough choice for all. Did not take dessert as it’s not our thing but they looked great. Wine was nice but felt slightly over priced. Atmosphere was nice as it’s decorated for Christmas. Would definitely eat here again.

    We ate at the castle restaurant.. although I am not completely disappointed by my visit, it is not what I expected. We went in the evening and was expecting a great view of the castle at night time, however the castle could hardly be seen due to the lack of lighting. So the pictures online are somewhat misleading. The restaurant itself has a canteen kind of feel, and has little atmosphere. However the food was lovely, and we enjoyed the meal itself!

    Very friendly staff and service was quick, enjoyed the summer pasta and pavlova. Lovely interior and was well worth the overnight stay for a good breakfast as well.

    Great dinner with nice food (I would call it elevated British cuisine) with a lovely outlook over Leeds Castle.

    Staff were welcoming and pleasant. Food was delicious and served quickly. The bar is not very well stocked with spirits - only 1 gin that isn’t flavoured. Unfortunately it’s a bit canteen like atmosphere but it’s difficult as you have to walk through the main restaurant which is a big converted barn so can’t really change the ambience.
