We visited Willington Hall restaurant for a family Sunday lunch having pre booked and advised of our dietary requirements 2 vegans, 1 vegetarian and 1 gluten and dairy intolerant as well as meat eaters. The staff were welcoming on arrival, however there was some uncertainty with regard to the vegetarian and vegan options on the menu even when the member of staff taking our order had checked with the chef. The options for the gluten and dairy intolerant family member were also not clear. The vegan main course option was a very average plate of pasta with peppers and olives. The nut roast would have been the preferred choice but it was not clear from staff as to whether this was vegan. Willington Hall is under new ownership and hopefully they will realise that there are an increasing number of vegetarians and vegans in the UK and rethink the menu options. Clearer labelling on the menu would also be helpful.

We were here for a wake, and I'm not sure if we were in a restaurant or a function room. There were doors leading to the garden with great views. The staff were all very efficient and friendly, willing to help with anything. The buffet was delicious, and the sandwiches were perfect. I would like to visit this place again as it is an impressive building.

The restaurant has a limited menu, which is disappointing, but even more so when they run out of food items. The food that was served was overcooked and not prepared as stated. The service was slow, unhelpful, and in two instances, even rude. It's best to avoid dining at this establishment.

Amazing food, friendly staff, breathtaking garden views, delicious dishes, versatile function spaces, top-notch bar, fantastic location - thank you!

My wife and I have visited many a restaurant in the area but the Gainsborough has to be one of the most enjoyable that we have experienced in a long time, the service was by far the best we had come across and the food was something else what more can I say other than thank you so much we will return.
