O U R F O O D STO RY Our story star ts in the hear t of the New Forest, where our beloved coaching inn has been a part of my family since 1782. With an ancestral heritage dating back to the first official Verderer of the New Forest, our family is firmly entwined in this ancient landscape and as such, we’re proudly local and home-grown.

Rockbourne This is where our trout is smoked
With our strong connection to the forest, we love to suppor t our community, so from land and sea, we use as many local producers and suppliers as possible. They provide most of our meat, fish, fruit and veg and for some, even their herds graze on our land. And with nature’s larder on our doorstep, many ingredients will have been foraged or sourced from our family estates both here in the Forest and in Scotland. So you’ll find our menu is made from many hands working collectively, proudly showcasing the countryside’s food heritage and reflecting the freshest of what’s available in season - a true taste of the forest.

Quite simply, to us, the Forest matters. Which is another reason why specific dishes make a small donation to the New Forest Trust; our way of helping to preserve and secure the future of our home. We hope you enjoy what we’ve lovingly cultivated and are very proud to share with you.
