Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a wonderful evening last night, the food was to such a high standard we were all blown away that it was prepared and cooked by students. We had 2 lovely young men looking after us .. Daniel and Joe they were both highly professional,...they were very personable and attentive and I have no doubt they will both be a great credit to the hospitality business. The whole evening was a reflection on what a great college FCT is.More

This is an extraordinary restaurant run by the students (with staff) of the the 6th Form College. The 4 course Christmas meal plus mulled wine, coffee and homemade roll and chocolates was as delicious, and as well presented, and served as in a top restaurant.

We had a fantastic lunch with friends here. The staff are great, right from the moment you are greeted on arrival, and throughout the meal - we were particularly well looked after by our server Charlie who did a really good job. The food is...excellent; high quality presentation and some great twists on some classics. We have already booked another visit.More

Had lovely meal this evening. This was our first time here and we came because my son is due to start the catering course I September and he wanted to get a feel for what to expect and he says it has confirmed he is...excited to start the course. The food was amazing and the students did a fantastic job. The service was very quick and efficient. My daughter of 12 tasted things she would never dream of at home and said her favourite dish was the fish,which surprised us all. We very much look forward to dining here again.More

A St Patrick day themed dinner, excellent food, presentation and service. Our server, Abigail, was a delight and very informative and knowledgeable about all of the courses. The young students preparing, cooking and serving are the next generation of master chefs. I cannot praise the...experience highly enough.More

We enjoyed a wonderful evening at the gallery restaurant. Each of the six courses were really enjoyable with great attention to detail. Our server Abigail looked after us very well. She explained each of the dishes and was attentive throughout the evening. We were also...able to experience the Mixology skills of the students with a couple of cheeky cocktails. All in all a superb value evening with wonderful service, fantastic food and a great ambience. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The college really is doing a fantastic job with the students.More

I treated a friend to a 70th birthday lunch. Was very pleased. Easy to book online. Disabled parking near the entrance a big bonus. Our student was new, yet got us seated, spoke clearly, explained. Another took the drinks order - fully stocked bar. We...asked for teas which caused some smiles. Students from reception desk to all functions. Smartly dressed, polite and full of smiles. You can see the kitchens through a screen, which is a nice experience. Food a formal 3 course lunch and it was fabulous. My Madieran friend thought it was some of the best she had tasted. I am very grateful for the birthday banner and the stars they placed on the table. She does not eat out much and for her 70th felt she had been really spoilt here. What a super outing. Well done to all the students. We wish you the best of luck with your courses and training. Highly recommended. We have subsequently heard from friends that we must try the Thursday night as that is just as good and a great experience too.More

Once again friends and I enjoyed good food at The Gallery. I had a lovely creamy onion soup, pork cheek and pork belly with black pudding, carrot purée, apple, kale and jus. The dessert was a cake with fresh fruit. My friends had similarly lovely...meals and with wine and coffee the price is still amazing. The service is always great. Well done Farnborough College!More

The restaurant and tables were beautifully decorated for the themed event. There were clever touches of tartan on the tables. It was a great start with a warm welcome and complimentary drink as we arrived. Every single course was superb, beautifully arranged to tempt you...and delivered on its promise. The piper who entertained and piped in the haggis was great. The waiters were attentive and professional - it was a busy evening taking care of a full restaurant and a 7 course menu & they did it all well and with a smile.More

First rate food excellently presented at a fraction of the price you would pay in a high class restaurant and the meals would not be out of place. Inventive menu but extremely well executed.

Our waiter Harry was very nice and we...enjoyed his measured humour. He was in his first year. What a great start to his career 👏. I'm looking forward to my next time.

Just returned from The Gallery's Xmas lunch. It cost us £26 each. We didn't expect such a small portion for the main Turkey course. It was Turkey Wellington & was sliced very thinly. In fact, I thought the turkey was sliced egg initially! Very disappointing....Still hungry. We could have gone to a decent pub & had 2 substantial courses for £16 & felt full.More
