Eat

The Walled Garden Restaurant at Lucknam Park champions a seasonal, ingredient-led approach. Drawing inspiration directly from the estate’s kitchen gardens and local farms, the offering is vibrant and contemporary, with a menu that evolves throughout the year. The space is airy and modern, with views of the walled gardens and a warm, informal feel—welcoming both refined celebrations and casual lunches alike. Alex Greene heads up the kitchen, crafting plates that celebrate the inherent quality of their produce; think chargrilled British meats, garden vegetables and beautifully executed desserts. The menu encompasses both lunch and dinner, including a popular Sunday lunch featuring succulent roasts. The attentive but relaxed style of service makes this a must for anyone who enjoys unfussy, produce-driven gastronomy in elegant but unpretentious surrounds.

From classic country house bedrooms to spacious suites and stylish self-catering cottages, there’s a restful option for every taste. Families, couples and solo travellers alike will find welcoming comfort and serene views. After dinner, retreat to restful, quiet rooms where the only disturbance is the soft dawn chorus from the woodlands beyond.

Retreat

Days at Lucknam Park might move at a gentle pace—from a morning swim in the award-winning spa’s hydrotherapy pools, to horse riding, tennis or simply wandering the kitchen gardens and avenues of mature trees. The spa, regarded among the UK’s finest, offers indoor and outdoor pools, thermal cabins, rejuvenating treatments and serene relaxation spaces. Beyond the gates, the charm of Bath (around 20 minutes by car) invites explorations of Roman baths and honey-stone streets, while the southern Cotswolds’ rolling hills are perfect for scenic drives and walks.
