The Avenue

The Avenue is a Modern British fine‑dining restaurant that centres on bold flavour combinations and a flavour‑first approach; menus are presented as sample menus and may vary on the day to ensure the best seasonal ingredients are used. It positions itself as an intimate, flavour‑driven dining destination within Lainston House. The restaurant projects a fine‑dining ambience intended for an adult audience, and guests are encouraged to put away phones to enjoy the experience. The kitchen celebrates seasonality and the finest quality produce, much of it British and some grown in the restaurant’s own kitchen garden, with dishes that emphasise inventive flavour combinations delivered through curated tasting presentations. Head Chef Tom Hamblet is the BBC MasterChef: The Professionals 2023 winner. The Avenue offers a multi‑course tasting‑menu journey with a degree of choice—snacks, starters, mains, desserts and smaller “squeeze them ins”—and a Chef’s Table for up to six guests to dine in the heart of the kitchen and watch each course prepared; the team also serves breakfast and highlights kitchen garden–sourced produce and seasonal Modern British dishes.
