Lucknam Park, the distinguished family-owned country house hotel, has announced that Executive Chef Hywel Jones has retained his Michelin star for the 20th consecutive year at Restaurant Hywel Jones. The milestone underscores the restaurant’s continued commitment to excellence and innovation in fine dining.
A Culinary Legacy of Two Decades
Since being awarded the Michelin star in 2006, Hywel Jones and his team have upheld the highest standards in gastronomy. Reflecting on this achievement, Jones expressed his pride in maintaining consistency at such an elite level:
“Maintaining a Michelin star for a milestone two decades is a tremendous honour and a testament to the dedication of our entire team. Consistency at this level requires passion, precision, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we have achieved at Restaurant Hywel Jones.”
The restaurant has established itself as a destination for gastronomes, offering a carefully curated menu that celebrates the best of British seasonal produce. With a focus on sourcing ingredients locally, the kitchen utilises lamb reared on the Lucknam estate, herbs grown in the hotel’s kitchen garden, and produce from trusted British suppliers.
New Additions to the Seasonal Menu
For the 2025 season, guests can look forward to a selection of refined new dishes. Among the highlights are Brecon lamb two ways, complemented by wild garlic, artichoke, and new season morels, and a hand-dived Orkney scallop, garnished with Wiltshire truffle, lardo, and celeriac. These creations continue the restaurant’s tradition of balancing contemporary technique with timeless culinary artistry.
An Elegant Fine Dining Experience
The journey at Restaurant Hywel Jones begins with evening cocktails in Lucknam Park’s drawing room or period library, setting the tone for a refined and immersive experience. Guests are then escorted to the dining room, where elegant tableware and antique furnishings evoke the grandeur of a traditional country house. The restaurant offers both an à la carte menu and seasonal tasting menus, designed to showcase the finest ingredients in their purest form.
