Nineteen Bistro and Bar

The Lanhydrock Hotel and Golf Club is renowned for its beautiful location, and the Nineteen Bistro and Bar is perfectly situated within its Clubhouse, overlooking the most stunning Cornish countryside. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the idyllic scenery and make this lovely restaurant and bar worth visiting for the view alone. However, serving expertly prepared local produce and offering a fine-dining experience with a reasonable price tag, Nineteen gives you plenty more reasons to stay and watch the world go by.

Feeling tempted by more than one of the starters - the selection included locally sourced scallops, tapas boards and grilled goat's cheese - we eventually opted for the warm mackerel and the homemade chicken liver paté. The oily fish was balanced brilliantly by a sweet and tangy honey and mustard dressing, while the paté was smooth and rich, and complemented by homemade chutney. The main event featured noisettes of Fowey lamb - cuts of crispy skinned, melt-in-the-mouth meat accompanied by local new potatoes and asparagus. The pan-roasted duck breast, served with a hint of pink, also impressed. Sweet temptations such as black cherry and dark chocolate croissant pudding, and homemade lemon posset will ensure you find room for dessert. The wine list is carefully put together to perfectly complement your chosen dishes.

Whether celebrating a special occasion or in need of a well-earned refreshment after enjoying 18 holes of golf, Nineteen is truly a wonderful destination
