After much research and debate we decided o celebrate our 24th Anniversary dinner at Masala City. Booking was easy, even when (at short notice) we needed to delay our arrival for by an hour. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and given a choice as to where we felt most comfortable to be seated. We ordered drinks and whilst deciding on our meal they along with the papadums and sauces were served. We ordered the prawn starter and mixed starter. Both were delicious. I had a tandoori mixed grill (my favourite) and my wife had chicken tikka masala. This was the best Indian meal we have ever shared! The food was served in good time and looked very appetising. It tasted even better and because the portions were so generous we asked for a "to go bag" . The experience was pricey, but worth every penny. We will definitely return.

This was my second visit to Tottington Manor as a follow-up to a function I attended late last year, and my first visit to Terra. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the very charming Louis, Tottington'a General Manager, who was charming and is clearly a real asset to Tottington. We were seated quickly and left to peruse the menu and our orders were taken soon thereafter although we were not rushed. My mother and I both chose to skip the starters and go straight for a main course. Mum had lamb while I had the chicken dish and both were exceptional - beautifully presented and cooked and seasoned to perfection. We then opted for the mini bite size desserts which were a taste sensation, if a tad small. All in all this was a really pleasing visit where we enjoyed superb food and excellent yet very discreet service which I very much appreciated. Indeed, I am already planning my next visit with a very discerning friend who I am hoping will be similarly impressed. My sincere thanks to Louis and the wider team, and a very big pat on the back to all.

About the restaurant

"Amberley Castle has a long held reputation for delivering outstanding cuisine.

Enjoyed on the first floor of the castle in either the magnificent Queen's Room, with its barrel-vaulted ceiling dating back to the 12th century and open fire or The Great Room, built-in 1165 by Bishop Luffa of Chichester, a fine example of Norman architecture with its high lancet windows, open fireplace, oak flooring, tapestry and suits of armour.

The dress code for the dining room is smart casual.

Please note that we welcome children of all ages to dine in the restaurant as long as their parents are well-behaved!

Had an afternoon tea with champagne for my mums birthday. The champagne was excellent. For the desert course they made a personalised birthday cupcake as well as a hand written birthday card for my mum. We will definitely be coming back :)

I have visited the Sportsman on a few occasions and each time the service and the food are excellent. We have booked the pods a few times and if there is a group of you they are an excellent choice as it’s similar to having your own private dining room. I definitely recommend the Sportsman.

Great location in the centre of town. Food was standard Ivy fare, decent sized portions, served with flare and delivered on the flavour front. The staff were great, checking in but not overly intrusive and we didn't feel any pressure to hurry up even though we ended up staying 4 hours!
