Expert review of Polo House
James Hewitt's perfectly pitched, British colonial-style venue in Marbella.
The ex-Army major and former lover of Princess Diana opened the doors to the Polo House, on Marbella’s Golden Mile, a couple of years ago and since then it’s been a firm favourite of mine. I’ve run the whole gamut here: aperitifs, light bar snacks, full on lavish meals and post-dinner cocktails around the baby grand piano. It’s all very civilised.
Food and drink:
Drinks are beautifully presented in crystal glasses by staff wearing military jackets. The menu is well thought out and innovative. I love the Galician oysters or the scallops (served with popcorn!) to start, followed by the rack of lamb. The wine list is exceptional - as is the sommelier.
Ambience:
Dark wooden floors and bars, brass fittings, huge potted palms against white walls, Indian statues, tablecloths and champagne-coloured sofas create a quintessentially colonial feel. The mix of locals and holidaymakers creates a lively, sociable vibe.
Service:
It's slick and well polished. It seems to get better every time I go. James Hewitt usually does the rounds in his distinctive, debonair style.
Location:
It’s on a busy junction on the eastern end of the Golden Mile.
Price advice:
It's about 35 euros a head without wine, so about average for the area.
