A TripAdvisor review from one impressed customer states that it was “one of the top international dining experiences from a foodie”. They claimed: “Our experience at Tudor Pass implores me to provide a review placing this as one of the top restaurants you can visit, and it is at a very reasonable price point compared to all of the others.”

Another person shared their dining experience, writing: “We’ve enjoyed tasting menus at a number of restaurants, including those with a Michelin star. You usually get one or two courses that miss the mark a bit – but our meal at The Tudor Pass was wonderful from start to finish.

“Every course was delicately presented and a delight to eat – every course made us smile!” Meanwhile, someone else claimed that their meal was delicious and each course had a “real depth of flavour”.

Celebrating the highest level of excellence in dining, the Travellers’ Choice Awards via TripAdvisor have rounded up the ultimate list of fine dining spots across the UK.

One recent visitor wrote about their dining experience, saying: “The food was sublime; the tasting menu was exceptional (and we’ve had a good few worldwide).” Another added: “This was so much more than we were expecting, and a number of the dishes, as well as the extra touches such as the story cards behind the dishes, made this feel more like a two-star than a one-star restaurant.”

The Tudor Pass forms part of the Great Fosters five-star hotel resort, accompanied by stunning gardens that guests can gaze at outside of the mediaeval-style windows. Whether staying at the resort or making a special occasion even more memorable, it’s clear that there’s a reason this Edham restaurant has made its way onto such a highly awarded list, and the quality of the experience is certainly shown within its pricing.
