New Forest Dining Table

New Forest Restaurants, Dining, AND TEA - Munching and Quaffing

We have strived to ensure that every element at Lime Wood achieves that elusive balance between high luxury and relaxed enjoyment, and our dining is no exception. This starts with our head chef, Luke Holder, whose appreciation of local produce and traditional menus is combined with an imaginative approach to designing dishes.

There is a choice of two restaurants at Lime Wood's New Forest hotel...

‘The Dining Room'

Understated style, guests love feeling comfortable wearing what they want and whatever makes them feel good, after all it's the food that really matters...think Ravioli with creamy Polenta, violet Artichokes and Truffles!

‘The Scullery'

The Scullery is our very own country house kitchen offering all day dining.....think Lime Wood smoked salmon with organic beets and soured cream!  


Both offer menus that focus on local, organic produce and ‘forest food' from our doorstep; wild mushrooms, garlic, local venison and home-reared beef and lamb. Our food is hearty British fare at its best: delicious and homely but creative and reliably sourced - Hampshire food at its finest! Here's our Food Sourcing Policy so you can see just how local our produce is!
