Restaurant Hywel Jones at Lucknam Park

Stayed a night at Lucknam Park to enjoy the hotel, spa and culinary delights of Michelin star chef Hywel Jones - and, even though the restaurant itself is a little old fashioned bordering on stuffy, it was a delightful dining experience. We enjoyed Mackerel tartar to kick off. A great dish, though a little under seasoned. The Scallop dish was wonderful with girolles, celeriac puree and a beautifully delicate sauce. The Turbot, followed by the Lamb dish (which we were later told was beef) were equally amazing. Then the Cheese course - wow, great selection and presentation from the young lady from Newport. The dessert was the only shortfall. It wasn't at all ordinary, but it wasn't extraordinary either. The recommended accompanying Gattinara Italian wine went down a treat. So overall, a classy and tasty fine dining experience.
