£34pp—3 courses & cocktail at 5-star Kensington hotel

There were 8 of us dining and the whole experience was very good. The staff was on point. The age range was between 50 and 87 and there were no complaints. The only thing I thought, the drinks were a little to expensive.

Good value deal, easy to book. Food very tasty, (little small on portion size for me!), and ideally located to attend Royal Albert Hall for a show afterwards

We met friends there and really enjoyed the experiemce

Lovely staff, excellent service, wonderful food

This is the 2nd time I have been to this hotel on a dining offer and both times were made very welcome, just like any other guest paying full price.

Very nice, well presented food. Would have liked some bread. Seated next to group of 8 or so business people all on lap tops which was not ideal. We were seated before they arrived. Order taken on scrap of paper which not very professional. Frustrating to have chosen our selections to then be told upon ordering what was not available - annoying & disappointing

Good location to High St Kensington. We walked up from the V& A museum which was easy and not too far.

We had a table of 6 friends. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Origin Restaurant at the Royal Garden Hotel. The 3 courses were so varied, thoroughly enjoyed all that we chose, in fact couldn't fault anything. Well done to Origin.

We enjoyed a delicious meal served by very attentive staff. Our window table overlooked Kensington Gardens which was a beautiful scene during Autumn fall.

I would like to thank the very kind receptionist who took time and trouble to find me an ice pack as I had a fall on the way to the restaurant and was in a lot of pain.

Service initially was exceptionally slow despite very few customers, providing a disappointing early experience but the staff then redeemed themselves when dealing with an issue that saw them provide complimentary drinks. The food was top notch and highly recommended. The special Travelzoo menu had an impressive selection of choices on offer.

I would highly recommend the experience to anyone with beautifully cooked and presented food and with views over Kensington Gardens. It is handily located only a 5 minute walk from Kensington High Street tube station.

Not this time sadly!

Have been to Origin 3 times so far for a Sunday lunch (twice good, once poor). But this was the first time going of an evening. It was my partner's birthday so we hoped to have a lovely meal. The starter of chicken confit was over salted and my portion was full of grizzle, very unpleasant. Mains we both ordered the shepherds pie but rather than a conventional one made with minced lamb, the chef (probably trying to be clever) used pulled lamb rather like pulled pork and it was dry and does not go well underneath piped potatoes. Yes there was a small pot of gravy but the shepherd's pie should have gravy within it (The Ivy chain of restaurants does a perfect shepherd's pie). Even the sides of cabbage and bacon wasn't great... Desert I ordered the chocolate and spiced pear souffle which was ok but could have been better. All in all not the standard of food that I expected and I do know good food. Little ambience as not many people eating and this was a Friday evening. Will I return? Well I would for the Sunday lunch as it was very good in the summer, but never of an evening. Once the service charge is added, plus sides and a couple of soft drinks, the overall cost is almost £100 which for what we were given is not value at all. The royal garden used to have a fabulous restaurant called the Park Terrace. The food was outstanding and the actual restaurant was one you would want to eat in. Origin has lost its way... it looks more like a bistro; the chairs are not that comfortable and I cannot see how they will keep getting returning guests unless they provide consistently high quality food that tastes perfect.

Very pleasant experience

It was a very chilled and quality time spent afternoon along with amazing food and very polite and professional service.
