Restaurant Hywel Jones by Lucknam Park Restaurant in Colerne, Thickwood

Reviews

1. Simon & Helen Thomas ★★★★★

   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.

   I dined at Hywel Jones last week during my trip to the Cotswolds and had a mixed experience. First off, the good - the food and wine were amazing. We chose to do the à la carte menu and each dish was so balanced. The amuse bouche which was a parsnip mash was incredible. The dishes were also beautifully constructed. Now on to the bad - the hostess was awful and quite abrasive. She barely looked us in the eye and kind of tossed us the menus. She said she would send the sommelier over and walked off. As this was our first encounter with the staff, it instantly left a sour taste in my mouth. Luckily the rest of the staff were lovely. I had dined with 2 other people and we all realized that we had felt the same coldness from the hostess when discussing the dinner after the fact. A few minor things we noted about the service was that no one removed the crumbs from our table between courses and our napkins were not placed on our laps. These are things we have experienced at other Michelin star restaurants in France etc and while minor, they do enhance the dining experience.

   Beautiful room and excellent service. All the staff were warm, informative and extremely professional. Tasting menu was exceptional by British standards, and service was brisk. Food was unique and flavourful. Will visit again!

   This is how a Michelin star experience should look like! From the moment you step into the beautiful and elegant country manor you are invited for welcome drinks that you can chose to sip on in the most stunning library, while picking your menu and the wine to complement. The dinner then takes place in the dining room, and even though it’s a 8 course menu you don’t feel overly full. The dishes are made with great attention to detail and taste phenomenal, it’s a wonderful place for a romantic dinner for two, Highly recommend !

   This restaurant is really fantastic - superb service and really great food. The Vegetarian tasting menu was fantastic with a lot of thought going into it. You get what you pay for, and a well deserved Michelin star.

   We ate here twice during our stay. The first time was in an oppresively small room with zero ambience, but we ate off the al acarte menu which was delicious and the service excellent. The second time we were in the main room where there was more ambience (re: noise), but the service was shocking - massive waits between the taster menu meant we didn't get out until 2.5hrs later (11:30pm) - was also disappointing compared to the al acarte.
