Didn't start well as I think there was a slight mis-communication - we had pre-booked(which you must do) and when we arrived, were told that the table had been let as we were late (we were 15mins early)!! - once this was cleared up and was very quick, we were seated and given a drink on the house for the confusion - this was a really nice touch and not necessary as things like this can happen and it set the tone for the evening - its not a large restaurant - about 60 covers but really busy and deservedly so - starter of crab was fantastic - especially the Tian and then we had a slight delay with mains, however, was offered another drink whihc gain, being in the hospitality trade wasn't necessary as we are all struggling but just showed how the team wanted to look after the customers - mains arrived and were excellent - fish was superb!! - I would rate this a "must visit" if you are on Jersey!!

This hotel, quite rightly, has an excellent reputation. From the moment we arrived our stay was faultless and nothing was too much trouble, with guests made to feel at home from the moment they walk through the door.
We just had a basic room which, although quite small, was beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable with everything you would expect from a 5* hotel. We particularly liked the 'proper' teapot and 'proper' French press. Bathrobes and slippers provided. Bathroon was well-stocked. Everything was exceptionally clean.
Excellent facilites at the hotel - it was nice after a day out to just sit by the pool/go for a swim.
Breakfast was excellent - plenty of choice with a continental buffet and then ordering hot food individually. service immaculate. The hotel has several restaurants and also offers a traditional 'afternoon tea'.

This is one of the best hotels we have ever visited. We spent a night here 30 years ago on business and always said we would return for leisure one day.
It came up to all expectations, courteous and attentive staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts could be taken in the garden and offered an extensive breakfast menu. The pool was heated to a comfortable 28c, and Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were available free for residents and well appointed.
The hotel is situated conveniently close to the harbour with restaurents and shops nearby.
A perfect stay.

In September 2021, ChoiceHotelsUK said about Duke of Richmond Hotel
We stayed 5 nights at this hotel. We had a standard room for 1 night on our way to Sark and a sea view for 4 nights on our return, Both rooms were very comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The hotel was busy but the staff worked tirelessly to make every guest feel special. The pool areas was very comfortable we were able to use the outdoor pool at it was heated.
It is a nice walk down from the hotel to the centre, but rather a steep walk back. You could get a taxi back up, the cost approximately £6. All in all we had a lovely stay.

As we would expect of a red carnation hotel we were given a warm welcome and our room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is beautiful and standards are high although some investment is needed to keep the outside areas 5 star. The food is excellent and it was a pleasure to enjoy the breakfast buffet after they have been missing from English hotels for nearly 2 years. Although drink prices are high the food prices are very reasonable for such excellent quality. We enjoyed the pool as the weather was warm although the sun beds are not comfortable enough for a 5 start hotel. Service was a bit hit and miss because of staff shortages and many looked tired and stressed but as ever they smiled and tried to ensure we were well looked after. We would be happy to return and loved Guernsey for its beautiful walks. A thank you to all the staff who stayed cheerful and helped to make our stay so enjoyable.

From the name I thought this would be a gastropub, but no this is proper fine dining. If you just want quantity then this is not for you. Sensibly sized, well-presented, a little inventive, but mainly just tasty food. It has actually been many years since I’ve had such good service, and three excellent courses. Highly recommend.

In September 2021, Rahel S said about Firstcall
Firstcall was the first recruitment agency I've worked with that went out of their way to provide me the best possible service and the greatest odds at being chosen for a job. They held my hand all the way through, making sure I'm prepared for interviews and giving me much needed feedback and advice when I had any doubts. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a more personalized approach to looking for jobs - not only are they incredibly professional in the work that they do, they also care about learning more about you, so they can make your CV not only reflect you and your values perfectly, but also make it as appealing to employees as possible.

We stopped for lunch, oysters, scallops and crab. Wow. I mean Wow. I’d thoroughly recommend this for a light lunch but the menu is extensive and I’m confident that a full dinner would be equally excellent. Service is lovely, charming lady maitre D.
