The Westwood Restaurant — Restaurant in England

Enjoyed a lovely meal on an early Wednesday evening. Lovely setting and ambience although not warm enough to choose an outside seat. Quite full inside very early. You really do need to book. The service is very good and the food is excellent. We rejected the set menu as rather mundane which I suppose is no surprise. We had Lemon Sole for our main course and it was delicious. It looked beautiful, tasted great and was easy to digest. Good for old folk but I think younger diners would be better choosing something more substantial. For our starters, we had scallops and the terrine and can recommend both. I had a limoncello baba: rich, luxuriant and tangy.

Update: The Westwood is conveniently situated and very accessible but it can get very crowded at busy times. We booked for am early Tuesday evening and experienced no problems parking. My wife had no difficulties getting in with her frame, so disabled guests should have no trouble. The service was first rate, friendly and very helpful. The interior has a modern, comfortable, roomy and relaxing ambience and was nice and warm on a cold January evening. The menu is extensive but we chose the prix fixe section and were very happy with this. It is available Tuesdays to Fridays inclusive. You can have two courses at £22.50 or three courses for £24.50. The choice looks a tad limited but there is some flexibility. My daughter didn’t fancy the soup of the day option but was able to choose an alternative. Just ask! The family rated the soups: thick, warming and very tasty. I chose the celeriac and apple risotto with blue cheese. It was first rate – an absolute delight! The fish of the day was sea bream. It was beautifully cooked with a crispy skin. The duck was also rated. It too was tender with a crispy skin. Side dishes are not included in the price but are available for those with a hearty appetite. The passion fruit cream with raspberries and pistachio was a great combination of texture and tastes that we can recommend. All the dishes were beautifully presented and an extensive list of drinks was provided from which we chose and can recommend the crisp and fruity New Zealand...

The Westwood Restaurant came highly recommended and did not disappoint. As we walked into the restaurant, we passed the kitchen, which was immaculate. Although several chefs were working their stations, there was not a crumb to be found aside from the individual dishes being prepared. The aroma was slight but enticing.

The wait staff was quick, friendly, and engaging. The menu was well appointed but not overly ambitious, as are some creative eateries. There were just enough options to meet the desires of most consumers.

I chose the seared scallops as an appetizer and the sea bass for the entrée. My dining partner had the sadleback and soup of the day. We also chose a selection of vegetables for the table.

The scallops were perfect. They had a crisp sear with a slight savory tilt. The balance was fork tender with no hint of chewyness or bite. The appetizer was well proportioned and left me only looking forward to the meal yet to come.

The sea bass also bore a crisp sear with a buttery and savory edge. The meat was most to a near creaminess. There was no hint of the gamey or fishy flavors or aromas that can be found with sea bass at times. The tenderness of the fish and the light touch of the chef shined. If one could do it better, I would be surprised.

Between the starter and main dish, I found myself comfortably filled but not stuffed. Sadly, I was filled to the point of not desiring a desert. The options looked amazing.

If you find yourself in Beverly, UK, I would suggest trying to get a table. This meal made the...

Our whole visit from start to finish was impeccable.The service was second to none and exemplary and the food was out of this world amazing. The decor and ambience is just so relaxing and comfortable. The attention to detail is something we haven’t experienced at any other restaurant in the area or even county. It maybe isn’t somewhere you would go on a weekly basis because it is such a wonderful experience that I wouldn’t want to spoil the “treat” it feels like to go there but it is definitely our “go to” place now for anytime we want to treat ourselves or celebrate. The staff were all so friendly and very very professional. We watched a young lady laying out the table next to us for another set of guests and the precision with which she lined up the place mats, napkins, cutlery and glasses blew us away. It’s so nice to see that the staff care. We couldn’t fault a thing and would recommend the Westwood to anyone wanting to be fed and treat like a king or queen. Yes, it’s more expensive that you would usually pay for a mid week meal, but you don’t mind that at all when you’re paying for such good quality food and the wonderful service and experience that we all had...
