Having seen Tom Hamblett on Masterchef and been very impressed with his dishes, the opportunity to experience a 3-course meal at Lainston was too good an opportunity not to take up. £85 for 3 courses, extra for additional sides, drinks and service at this level is pretty decent value, as long as the meal lives up to expectation, and it went way beyond that! We’ve been lucky to experience many 3-star Michelin and fabulous meals and restaurants all over the world, and whilst the theatre and starched service is not on the menu here, the food was amongst the best we have had in a very long time. The service is really friendly, the right side of familiar and the crew we experienced certainly knew the dishes and their wines. From the moment the home made breads and butters as a complimentary palette wetter were brought, it felt this was going to be good. Lobster (£10 supplement) was simply sublime. The scallop starter was possibly one of the best things I have ever eaten, to combine scallop, cauliflower, ponzu and raisins in a dish is audacious and it paid off! We both went for the signature beef fillet with beef tartare and roscoff onion stuffed with brisket - incredible. The additional side of truffled new potatoes were absolute perfection too. Desserts were simply outstanding - olive oil cake and the now legendary peanut and chocolate slice with banana ice cream. I can still taste it. We were celebrating a birthday and our anniversary, and we also got a little chocolate cake with a Happy Birthday, a very nice gesture in a high-end place. To top it all off we met Tom in person afterwards; you could tell he had been burning the oil for the last few months but was so humble, interested in what we had ordered and what we liked. We have vowed to try and celebrate our anniversary wherever he is cooking next time as he really is an exceptional talent.

A fantastic weekend in a stunning country hotel. I knew it was going to be great from the moment we walked in. A friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Incredible food from masterchef Tom, and brilliant service. Our room was well equipped, comfortable and clean.

Lovely countryside hotel with beautiful grounds and wonderful food. The bar had an excellent choice of food and is a stunning room. The Avenue restaurant has excellent service and wonderful food to match it. I will definitely be returning in future!

This was an overnight trip with dinner in The Avenue and breakfast in the morning. Beautiful accommodation and location. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional throughout. Recommended for a quiet and relaxing break, just wished we could have stayed longer.

Basically an expensive overrated gastro pub. I called in and asked which restaurant to books for my father’s 80th. I was assured it was an amazing restaurant and hotel. Imagine our disappointment when we were put in a smokey (they had to open a window to get rid of the kitchen smell - (they seemed excited to put hot charcoal on a peice of butter - which quite frankly was dreadful) where we were massively over dressed. The food was completely average (but priced as al la carte). We went home to clear our lungs and warm up. I’d avoid it tbh.

Starting off coming up the drive, looking at the house, just sets you back in time. Pulling up to the front of the hotel and being greeted by the friendly reception team, handing the car off to the experienced valet, and beinbeing at g shown straight to the bar. It's like being at a second home, especially with the cosy feel of the property. The experince the bar team really shined when no cocktail was too much. The food on offer was unlike any bar i've been to with options of braised beef, veison stew and their 'market fish', I'm not sure which one stole the show more. The drinks kept on coming and even with a bit of history of the house as well. From the ceder tree that lines the walls of the house to the celebrity line-up of previous residents. I can't wait to go back with my friends to see what The Avenue and The Wellhouse have instore...
