A HOOK-based restaurant has been rated as the best in Hampshire.

The Oak Room Restaurant at Tylney Hall Hotel was ranked as the best in the county at Bookatable’s Diner Awards 2018.

Bookatable’s Diner Awards analysed more than 150,000 verified diner reviews and ratings from bookatable.co.uk and took into consideration several factors including number of reviews submitted, star ratings and review content to determine the final list of winners.

All reviews on the site are left by verified Bookatable diners; only people who have dined at the restaurant can leave a review.

The Oak Room serves innovative cuisine with a British twist.

Its menu features both seasonal specialities and signature dishes, and everything is prepared to order.

Michel Cassius, chief executive officer of Bookatable said: “At Bookatable, we love great restaurants and are committed to offering our diners a wide choice of places to eat; from High Street favourites and leading pubs to once-in-a-lifetime Michelin-starred restaurants.

“This year, we are pleased to add more award categories to reflect and celebrate the diversity that our diners are looking for. What makes the Bookatable Diner Awards special for the restaurant industry is that they are granted by the restaurant diners themselves, people who have enjoyed their dining experience and are keen to recommend the restaurants they love. We all know how much trusted reviews matter to everyone.”

Other restaurants in the Bookatable’s top 10 included Mediterranean inspired dishes at Burley Manor, traditional Italian cooking and enhancing history at La Piazzetta and trusty British dishes and roasts at The Fishers Pond.
