Lanelay Hall Hotel & Spa, a distinguished retreat nestled in the scenic hills of South Wales, has long been celebrated for its blend of luxurious design and homely charm. With an array of top-tier amenities, including a tranquil spa, the addition of a high-end restaurant was the perfect next step in offering guests an all-encompassing experience under one roof.

Dawnvale was invited to help bring this vision to life by crafting “Blok,” a stunning new restaurant that seamlessly delivers bespoke craftsmanship with sophisticated design, elevating the hotel’s dining offer to new heights.

ELEGANT WINE FEATURE

The wine display at Lanelay Hall is a standout feature. Two bespoke cabinets, extending from floor to ceiling, are positioned beside the chef’s table, creating a striking visual impact. Crafted with walnut, bespoke metal work and enhanced with LED lighting, these cabinets display a curated selection of fine wines. A third cabinet holds stemware, and a smaller display features champagne buckets, all softly lit to enhance the space’s elegant ambience.

CULINARY EXPERIENCE

At the heart of the restaurant, the chef’s table offers an exclusive dining experience. Guests enjoy a front-row view of the theatre kitchen through critall doors. The design includes two Dry Ager meat lockers and a bespoke wine display, combining style and function. With seating for 8 at the main table and two smaller tables for 3, diners are immersed in the culinary action.

BESPOKE ACCESS

One of the most subtle yet ingenious features of the space is the hidden door, seamlessly integrated into the room’s Georgian panelling. This bespoke door was crafted to match the traditional timber perfectly, ensuring it blends effortlessly with the surrounding design. The hidden door provides a sense of intrigue and exclusivity, adding an element of surprise when entering the private dining room.

PERFECT FURNITURE

The furniture design at Lanelay Hall enhances the restaurant’s elegant atmosphere. Bespoke seating, including free-standing furniture and banquettes, offers both comfort and style. Custom made chairs with walnut frames and House of Hackney upholstery provide a striking contrast against the rich tones of the space. The tables, with solid surface tops and walnut detailing, perfectly complement the design, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
