Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms Ormskirk Reviews
Wonderful stay, great food and lovely staff.
A lovely stay, made even more special by such skilled, friendly staff. For the past few years we’ve been travelling over an 8 hour round trip to stay at Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons because we didn’t know that this wonderful place, Moor Hall was almost on our doorstep! Only 20 miles away from our home is the gem which is Moor Hall. Mark seems such an unassuming, humble guy but my goodness, he and his team produce some of the best food we’ve ever eaten. We loved the sweet and savoury gougère served as a small afternoon tea. The canapés before dinner were a delight, every mouthful just delicious. We are pescatarians & our menu was well thought out & was perfect, perfect portion size, perfectly seasoned & one can see why Mark has 2 Michelin stars. The dishes were fresh & exciting and we can’t wait to return. Even the breakfast was delicious, a set meal consisting of yoghurt & fruit compôte, salmon with a dill sauce & perfectly cooked oeufs poché florentine served on a crumpet. We stayed in the Bilberry Room which was a well appointed room with a beautiful bathroom. Beautiful smelling bathroom products too from Pure Lakes. Every member of staff we spoke to was welcoming, knowledgeable and looked happy to be in such a lovely work environment. Thanks to all for a fabulous stay, still can’t believe we didn’t know this wonderful place was so close to home but we do now!
Just a cut above the rest
Really special experience. We have dined at quite a few Michelin stared restaurants but this is probably our favourite. it is intimate, the lounge aperitifs before dinner are lovely and being shown the kitchen is a nice touch. It was relaxing, the room was huge and well appointed (Damson Suite), the staff very attentive and the food was excellent. It was a lovely stay from start to finish and breakfast was great too. Don't hesitate to book, you won't be disappointed. My only tiny gripe is that there were no slippers in the room and there was no lattes or cappucinos available at breakfast but these are only extremely minor details. The other thing, which was not Moor Halls fault is that we could could hear really loud music when we went to bad which lasted till 4am. I did call reception who said they were aware of it and it was coming from a neighbouring property. My husbanded commented "if i wanted to come to an 18-30 I would have booked it!" This was probably a one off and like I say did not ruin our stay which was amazing in every other way.
Exceptional
From arriving to leaving what an amazing experience the food is absolutely delicious. Tasting menu in the 2 Michelin Star restaurant to dinner in the 1 Michelin star Barn restaurant could not fault anything, the staff are so attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable. Absolutely incredible, thank you for a wonderful culinary experience.
A Truly Special Place
We are fortunate to only live about 30 minutes from Moor Hall, and have had the pleasure of eating/staying here a few times since it first opened. However it has been a few years since our last visit, so felt a review was in order. The grounds and the buildings themselves are immaculately maintained. All the staff we encountered from the moment we checked in until we left were friendly, helpful and you could see and hear the pride they had for the place when talking to them. Chef patron Mark Birchall is the most unassuming, humble and quiet person you could meet. Yet his vision for this place and the culinary expertise of him and the whole kitchen brigade under his guidance, is astounding. They deserve every 1 of the 3 stars they have accumulated between Moor Hall and The Barn. The food, and it feels derogatory calling it that as it’s so much more, is course after course of visual delights and explosions of flavour on your tongue - paired with amazing and sometimes quirky wines. Service was excellent. Nice touch having a little stool for ladies bags to sit on and keep them away from the floor. We have stayed in 4 different rooms there, and none of them disappoint. Mulberry is the biggest, and this time we stayed in Rosehip, which was also very spacious. Lovely freestanding bathtub and separate roomy shower. The bed was so comfortable and there were 2 big squidgy chairs to sink into, as well as a mini fridge with a selection of drinks and fresh milk for your tea/coffee. Breakfast is also a set menu, but of course if you let them know of any dietary requirements in advance, they will accommodate. It’s somewhere you would go for a special occasion. On the pricey side yes…but once you experience it, you come away thinking it was well worth it. Nowhere else, except perhaps Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir, even compares. Book it - you won’t be sorry!
A mixed bag
This is not about the restaurant which I have reviewed separately. Stayed one night in the Damson suite . Expensive. Big room though decor not to my taste. Main issue was I spent six hours in Southport A&E after missing my step on the step in the room. Manager helpful in sorting the initial problem but surprised that no one in the restaurant at breakfast knew we had spent most of the night elsewhere. Note also the breakfast is set so if you have a pescatarian evening meal you get a pescatarian breakfast.
An outstanding experience
We stayed as a birthday treat and it was first class from start to finish. we had one of the lodge rooms which was v comfortable, especially the bed. Pre-dinner drinks and canapes (excellent) were served in the bar, we then had a tour of the kitchen garden on the way to dinner which was a superb experience, we opted for the matching wines which were well paired. The food wines and service were some of the best that we have experienced anywhere. You can understand why the restaurant and chefs get so many richly deserved accolades. The breakfast was also brilliant. You do get what you pay for and we will return.
Just Perfect
Love the sleep quality of this incredible place. Very spacious car park - with electric charging points, walk through the most amazing walled garden that is like a scene from Alice in Wonderland passing the most amazing and modern looking kitchen that has carefully been grafted on to this incredible historic building - reception is a breeze then you are led to your room - each one the Ames slightly different but all amazingly spacious. With its extra large amazingly comfy bed - your guaranteed a peaceful night. Breakfast as you can imagine is the most incredible event. Course after course of delicious treats to navigate. Our favourite breakfast of all. As if this isn’t enough - you are gifted a small box of pastries for the journey home - just as a reminder of the evening before. Just perfect
Moor Hall - a treat!
Had a great evening at the Barn - a treat to celebrate husband’s birthday. It’s not cheap but we found it exceptional value for food of this quality - 3 courses and 3 unexpected amuse-bouches for £48. We’ve paid as much for far less remarkable food! Service was excellent and pitched perfectly. Professional and personable without being too stuffy or fussy! Rob and Laura gave a masterclass in the art of getting this right. Thanks to all for a memorable evening.
What an experience!
A treat for my Daughter's 18th birthday and what a treat it was. The welcome was lovely, drinks and snacks in the lounge (the snacks were superb) followed by a look at the kitchen. Every course was delicious, obviously beautifully presented but also came with a story on sourcing and inspiration. Certainly not an everyday experience (at that price!) but a very special occasion venue.
Simply stunning
Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our one night stay here. The tasting menu was outstanding, staff delightful. Decor in the restaurant was lovely. Our bedroom was beautiful. We enjoyed strolling round the grounds and the beautiful view of the lake from our room. Cannot wait to visit again. Surely a third star will soon be awarded. A gorgeous breakfast compled a wonderful experience. A faultless experience.
Another perfect dining experience
We had dined at Moor hall before and also at The Barn. This time we booked the package to stay and dine with breakfast the following morning The whole experience was sublime from start to finish. We arrived and looked at the garden and greenhouses where micro herbs were being nurtured for the kitchen. Winter vegetables were coming ready to pick and bed ready for spring planting. We checked in and we’re Shown to our room which is much better than we expected. Huge and luxurious with a gigantic bathroom with Moor hall toiletries. Bed huge and comfortable and all so luxurious We were offered tea and homemade cake in the lounge from4pm which was complimentary and a lovely touch. Needles to say we had gin instead ! Dinner started in the bar where several tasting snacks prepared us for the delight to follow. We especially like how we were taken into the open kitchen where Mark Birchall was overseeing his brigade of chefs. They explained each section and what was happening and we also had a further delicate snack here before being show to our table. Dinner was expected, sublime with a skilfully balanced offering of seasonal food cooked, presented and served with 2 Michelin Star flair. It was all simply stunning and faultless from start to finish Our last treat was served back in the lounge the bar with a nightcap After a very comfortable night’s sleep, breakfast was equally as stunning with homemade pasties and bread with a selection of preserves, delicious smoked salmon and thin rye bread and dill Creme fraiche. A skillet of hot sausage, bacon and the best black pudding was accompanied by a free range soft boiled egg. The whole experience was a triumph of British hospitality at its finest Thank you, we’re are looking forward to returning to do this all over again
A truly amazing experience!
Myself and my husband had the lunchtime tasting menu. It was the most amazing experience. From start to finish the service was absolutely seamless. Each course was exceptional in flavour and presentation. The sommelier went above and beyond in his explanation of the wines and the teas and infusions. It was an absolute delight to be served by somebody with such passion for his profession. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.
Superb Service
Second visit this time with family. Supremely attentive service coupled with high quality food and wine. The setting is also superb making it well worth its status as one of the best resturants in the region.
Excellent Service and the food looks wonderful, but someone forgot to add any flavour
Took the eight course tasting menu at Moor Hall with an overnight stay. Staff could not be more welcoming and attentive and the Hall and grounds are amazing - a drink in the garden on a summer's day would be heaven. Unfortunately, the food (the tasting menu) was a complete let down. The eight courses are in fact about 12 or 13 (we lost count) when you add in all the pre- and post dinner add-ons. The food just keeps coming and in the end we were just willing it to end. Scallop and turbot courses were bland, tasteless white fish. I left the venison course untouched - if meat is going to be cooked rare then I don't expect to have to hack through it with a steak knife. And what is the fascination with beetroot with every single chef who prepares a tasting menu? The room we stayed in was great - huge, comfortable bed, roll top bath etc. Breakfast was very good. In summary, location and service great but the menu and food just not up to it. Perhaps I am jaded as I have done a good number of tasting menus but the inane questions from the server ("so what has been your favourite course so far") and the standard "flourish" of delivering at least one course to your table and finishing it in some way in front of you (i.e. pouring some gravy over it) is wearing thin with me. With any high-end tasting menu there is a balance in what you are paying for between the food and the "experience" (the BS factor). In my opinion, MH has got this completely wrong. It is not that they are completely gimmicky (take a bow Heston) but they are relying on the service and the presentation (and it seems to me the volume of food) and forgetting that at the end of the day that food needs to taste of something. Overall, I am afraid that Moor Hall is in Emperor's New Clothes territory. No one will tell you, because they have just forked out £450 for dinner for two (plus £100+ for a bottle of wine that they could buy from Majestic Wines for £25) and are too embarrassed to say so.
Simply the best
Wow wow wow. From beginning to end just sublime. The food is amazeballs. The presentation and thought that goes into each dish is incredible. Even the actual plates have for the most part been designed to but the food on it..! However it is the ambiance and service that are the garnish in this splendid experience. Not too much not too little. Just perfect.
