Drove 2 hours to get here from London and was not disappointed. Hands down probably the best duck I've ever had and would gladly have it again. My starter and dessert were equally as good as were the hand cut house chips with parmesan and truffle oil. The house itself (which is a grade 2 listed building) has a very interesting history and the atmosphere inside was very cozy. A delightful evening with fantastic food. Sam the head chef also came out to say hello which was a nice touch and the rest of the team were also very attentive. Many congratulations to Rob and Antoine on their new partnership, which I'm sure will be a success.

Excellent meal last night - everything was absolutely delicious! Loving the new decor and the new menus and of course the lovely staff - led last night by Louise for front of house and Sam, Head Chef, but even though Harry and little Sam were on leave they both ended up popping in too as they can’t stay away!! Shows how much they love their work! Ian had the Confit Lobster with Crumpet, Radish and Frisée to start, followed by the Pan-Roasted Spiced Duck Breast, Potato Rosti, Glazed Chicory, Artichoke Puree, Fig Jam, Artichoke Crisp and the Burnt Honey & Sea Salt Panna Cotta, Vanilla & Apple Puree, with Honeycomb Tuille for dessert. I had the delicious Caramelized Red Onion, Goats Cheese Mousse with Beetroot to start, Feta & Harissa Spanakopita, Butternut Squash, Spinach, Spiced Yoghurt, Rocket with Sun-Dried Tomatoes for main and Chocolate Fondant, Pistachio Ice-Cream with Blackberries for dessert. The Pistacio Ice cream was absolutely delicious and the Fondant a perfect texture and not over sweet. Definitely still up there as one of our absolute favourite restaurants.

Questions about The House by Hilly Gant

Is The House by Hilly Gant legit?

TheReviews does not certify businesses. The House by Hilly Gant has a score of 4.6 out of 5, labelled Excellent, from 559 reviews on TheReviews and its connected review sites, but no reviews written on TheReviews yet, so none of its reviews here are marked verified. The profile has not been claimed by the business. Every moderation decision is listed in the public log on this page.

What is The House by Hilly Gant's TheReviews score?

The House by Hilly Gant has a score of 4.6 out of 5, labelled Excellent, from 559 reviews on TheReviews and its connected review sites. The score comes from one published formula: every business starts at 3.5 with the weight of 3 reviews, verified reviews weigh 1.0, organic reviews 0.7, and each review loses half its weight every year. Ratings on connected sites such as Google or Booking.com are blended in at 0.5 per review, together never outweighing 50 verified reviews, and every review counts towards how sure the score is, so many reviews elsewhere are not held back by the starting point. That places it 4 of 7 in Food & Drink. Read the formula with a worked example.

How many of The House by Hilly Gant's reviews are verified?

None yet, because nobody has written a review on TheReviews. A verified review comes through an invitation tied to a real order or through the API. Organic reviews, written by anyone with a confirmed account, count for 0.7 of a verified one.

Does The House by Hilly Gant reply to reviews?

There are no reviews on TheReviews to reply to yet. The profile is unclaimed; once the business claims it, it can reply to every review free of charge.

Can The House by Hilly Gant remove bad reviews?

No. No plan at any price lets a business remove a review. The House by Hilly Gant can post one public reply per review and can report a review that breaks the written guidelines. A person reads every report, and the outcome is recorded in the public moderation log either way. See the moderation log for The House by Hilly Gant.
