Square Meal review of Chewton Glen:

It may have fallen off its Michelin-starred perch at the start of this year, but on our recent visit we were mystified as to why. This well-known country house hotel, which is celebrating its 40th birthday this year, remains the epitome of fine dining & its kitchen is skilled at dealing with luxury ingredients & producing elegant classical cuisine. Dinner starts with plates laden with dainty canapes to enjoy with drinks ahead of dishes geared at those with hearty appetites. Plump & juicy roast Scottish scallops to start come with mashed potato flecked with generous shavings of truffle, crispy bacon & a pea veloute, while we loved our main course: canon of Hampshire lamb, crusted with pistachio nuts & served with tomato confit, baby leeks & a rich jus. This is not a place to stint on dessert as our faultless ginger & honeycake with red wine poached figs & calvados creme fraiche demonstrated. A book-length wine list & highly professional service complete the package with the one downside being the after-dinner bill.
