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.

The Truth

We highly recommend the Clos du Marquis

Apr 2020 • none

This is review is from our second visit to the Clos du Marquis this time with our son and daughter who were both impressed and commented on the wonderful french cuisine and how they made us as a family feel at home just like the first time my wife and I dinned together as a couple the Clos du Marquis it was once again fantastic. They have a quaint lounge area to partake in drinks with delicious hors d'oeuvres before our meal and on our second visit they had crackling warm log fire in late winter. My wife adored the rustic old world charm of this restaurant from being welcomed on arrival too leaving it was again a lovely experience. This restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and they truly care about their customers as it is reflect in the 1st class service to all their customers at every table. The table are set with beautiful cutlery and the whole place is extremely clean including the toilets. I do hope their business survives through this corona lock down period and we wish them well. If you want to impress friends, family or business associates then we highly recommend booking a table Clos du Marquis. We cannot wait for them to open so I will be ordering a take away instead for now.

A roadside gem.

Oct 2020 • couples

I’ve driven past this restaurant for years, when travelling up and down the A30. Today we decided to stop and have lunch, quite a treat, very friendly staff, good reasonably priced menu, and the food was very good, we had the sea bass, and the soufflé for starters, both came out quickly enough, and were delicious. If you passing on this very busy road, have the time, and they have the space, it’s well worth stopping for an hour or so.

Authentic French food.

Sept 2021 • couples

Lovely evening spent at this small independent restaurant. The service was excellent and the food very good indeed. There are two menus to choose from, I had the two course set menu which was brilliant value for money and my husband ate from the al a carte. Would highly recommend.

Disappointed - overpriced & undercooked

Jul 2023 • couples

We were so excited to finally try this restaurant after seeing all the reviews. Only 4 tables were in use on a Saturday night & we were the last ones there at not even 9pm. There was no background music so you could hear the other tables discussion & there was no atmosphere. The restaurant is run totally by one couple, the wife is the chef & the husband is front of house & neither of them are French. We had l’escargots as we always do anywhere we can and this was delicious so we were really hopeful about the rest of the meal. Sadly the mains didn’t live up to the expectation. The side dishes were basic & bland p a dish of plain roasted pumpkin with no flavourings or dressing whatsoever, plus re-heated bland potatoes dauphinois which was chewy & dry after being microwaved. I had lobster in a Thermidor sauce, expecting the traditional style of the lobster meat having been removed & mixed with the sauce before going back into the shell to be gratinated. However, the shell was just for show, spotlessly clean, & certainly wasn’t from the lobster on my plate as they claimed. I should have realised that by them only opening 2-3 days a week would mean that the lobster would be frozen but I was not prepared at all for it to be so hard that I could barely get my fork in. The maitre de saw me struggling to cut it so brought over a steak knife & when I finally broke through to the centre there was a rush of watery black liquid across my plate. The maitre de saw this but said it was just the roe. Eventually he could see I wasn’t happy and offered a replacement meal which came out really quickly. The chef came out and apologised saying that they always left the roe on as some people do like it but she was glad I had brought it to her attention that it wasn’t for everyone so they would leave it off in future. I tried to explain that I like the roe but that it is usually pink by the time it gets to me. This wasn’t even slightly underdone roe which would be a black gunge, this was very watery black liquid because the frozen lobster wasn’t even early cooked which also explained the firmness of the white meat. A little bit later the chef came through again and sheepishly admitted that it ‘might have been a little bit under’. This wasn’t a case of disliking something or being a bit disappointed in one element of the dish, this was a health hazard served alongside bland sides at huge expense. What a let down. We were absolutely gutted to finally find a proper French restaurant with an exciting menu & excellent reviews only for it to turn out so badly. I can only assume that this was an aberration as the rest of the reviews are very complimentary. Sadly it wasn’t to be for us.

Beautifully cooked, and presented.

Nov 2021 • none

It is the little surprises in between course, plus the quality and presentation of the food that makes the Clos Du Marquis, such a treat. Front of house staff very engaging and knowledgeable with the chef herself serving the dishes in pristine chefs whites. Covid protocols by the staff were of the highest standard. We had intended to limit our choices to the fixed menu but diverted to the ala carte for a bit of extra indulgence. Visited them at their former home at the Leckford Hut, and they have managed to create a similarly unique ambience in Stockbridge High Street. We will return, no doubts.😁

Fabulous food at a fair price

Nov 2021 • couples

Fabulous flavours and presentation. We’re lucky enough to eat in France quite regularly. Here in Stockbridge they produce a meal of equivalent (or better) quality at a very fair price. We just had a very fine lunch, off the à La carte menu, with four glasses of good wine, for £119 for two. Brilliant service from Garth. Our only gripe is how hard it is to book - but well worth the effort.

Faultless

Feb 2023 • none

We had a superb 2-course lunch from the set menu, both enjoying the tasty Hake Estofinade and a very flavoursome roasted lamb neck fillet. The glasses of Picpoul, Merlot and Bordeaux were all great and sensibly priced. We would echo the comments other reviewers have made about the engaging, knowledgeable and skilled husband and wife team. There was no rush to turn the table over, no overpriced special menu for 14 February, delicious appetisers, a fab chocolate with the coffee etc all of which just added to the class of this restaurant. We even had an optimistic conversation with Garth on the way out about the chances of Saints avoiding relegation (and with beating Chelsea on Saturday, who knows?!), Overall, a memorable experience - and great value for money. Thank you.

Just Stunning

Jul 2021 • none

Had an amazing lunch here. Service& cuisine first class. Beautiful presented plates. A set menu is available or an a la carte. The main dishes where piping hot with a good selection of vegetables. We will definitely revisit the Clos du Marquis now we have found it.

A Rather Special Place

Sept 2020 • none

Two Morgan owning friends met for lunch and to set the cares of the world to rights. I must have driven past the building 1000 times over the last 50 years whilst driving between London and the Dorset/Wiltshire area. For a change Neil and I picked the restaurant, based on convenience (about an hour from each of us) and the reports from this site. We were NOT disappointed. Excellent, characterful service from Gareth and his wife. The food was all it should be, we had the Terrine of duck foie gras with a plum compote and date bread as starters, followed by Cassoulet with duck, lamb, Toulouse sausage and tarbais beans. The smells and tastes of France: a good bottle of red made the meal. We shall be back...!!

OUTSTANDING VALUE FOR MONEY

Mar 2023 • couples

Great ambience, wonderful food, reasonable not overpriced wine list. Made very welcome by Garth. A superb 2 course menu for £32 which included a delicious Amuse Bouche was excellent value. Delicious French priced between £6 and £8 for a large glass and champagne at £9 means you can’t go wrong. Our first time here and we shall be returning with chums.

A pure gem.

Sept 2023 • friends

We have enjoyed the gastronomical delights of the Clos du Marquis for many years. They never disappoint us and always go the extra mile. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in December with them , a full house and nothing but compliments from all our guest's, some who had never been there before. September was my 67th birthday and we were a table of 7. Garth even pointed my husband in the direction of a local florist so there were individual pots of flowers in the middle of the table which each of the ladies took home at the end of the evening Thank you Garth and Miranda. You are priceless

Excellent Dinner

Wonderful food, great value. Garth front of house and Glanis as chef - a great team with wonderful results and a we had a lovely evening. I don't write many reviews, but small independent businesses like this, who use local produce, deserve our support.

Absolutely wonderful food and service

Nov 2023 • couples

I spent an absolutely amazing 2 hours in this restaurant with my Husband. The food was absolutely exceptional and the gentleman serving us was so friendly. My Husband and I are both passionate about wine and he took the time to talk to us about where they sourced the wine, different styles - even giving me some "surprise" samples, which was really enjoyable. The scallops were cooked to perfection, the beef was a delight and everything was utterly perfect. By the time we left the restaurant, I had already arranged a dinner date with my sister, so we have the opportunity to visit again.

Regimental lunch

Apr 2022 • friends

Another regimental reunion of retired officers and wives for lunch at this fab restaurant Garth did us a tablecloth menu with some drinks included for a set price to make the bill division easier He's,a fabulous host and so attentive.his house wines excellent. But I'm afraid it's food that is the main attraction.his wife is a fabulous chef and the menu was delicious and perfectly executed! I don't think I have eaten better grown up French cuisine anywhere. Madame puts a lot of work and finesse into her dishes! I only wish we all lived closer and could visit monthly. Loved the new premises. He deserves to be full every day

Wonderful lunch, fabulous setting. Very good value GO

Sept 2023 • friends

A fabulous meal with excellent personal service. The restaurant always has an interesting selection on the menu, including kidneys, skate wings and rabbit. Everything is beautifully cooked and presented and accompanied by very good, well priced wines. The crème brûlée came still ‘burning’ providing us with entertainment too . A superb lunch, beautifully presented and excellent value
