LARDON is a European-inspired restaurant located at Elkstone Studios in the heart of the Cotswolds, where ingredient-led cooking, warm hospitality and beautifully designed spaces come together to create a destination worth lingering over.

Founded by the team behind KNEAD Bakery and Jesse Smith Butchers, LARDON takes inspiration from the flavours and laid-back dining culture of Tuscany, the Basque Country and Provence. At its heart is a menu of wood-fired dishes and seasonal small plates, celebrating exceptional produce and simple cooking done exceptionally well.

From leisurely breakfasts and long lunches to relaxed evening dinners, the restaurant embraces the philosophy that life is best enjoyed when you slow down. Guests can expect everything from freshly baked breads and vibrant small plates to hand-crafted pasta, premium dry-aged meats and indulgent desserts, all served in a welcoming setting designed for sharing good food and good company.

The prize includes a three-course dinner with drinks for six at LARDON. The experience offers the perfect opportunity to explore the restaurant’s signature menu, savour intentional dishes and enjoy a memorable evening in one of the Cotswolds’ most exciting new dining destinations.

Competition closes 29 July 2026.
