The extensive House Menu can be enjoyed wherever you feel most comfortable. Whether that's with the family in tow at the country pub, Monty's, alfresco in the English country garden or in The Terrace
The award-winning Terrace restaurant is the jewel in their country house crown, with the New Forest larder for ingredients that come together to create extraordinary culinary magic.
In the Terrace restaurant, floor-to-ceiling picture windows open onto a timeless English country garden, where blousy tea roses and scrambling honeysuckle scent the air with heady fragrance, and tiny birds flit between leafy branches.
The menu changes with the seasons; elegant dishes influenced by produce gathered from the surrounding coast and countryside, and plucked by their own kitchen gardener.
All dishes are showcased ultimately on the plate with spectacular produce straight from the restaurant's organic kitchen garden, from across The New Forest and from the neighbouring coastal counties of Hampshire and Dorset.
Please note that the Restaurant is closed on Monday's and Tuesday's
The Wine Cellar
The wine cellar features over 2,200 bottles of wine from over 300 different category bins featuring mainly biodynamic and organic wines with a good selection of Riesling grapes as well as versatile non-alcoholic, kosher, orange and non-sulphite wine. The cellar wine is 70% old world and they have around 18 wines by the glass and 300 different wines by the bottle.

At Monty's inn they are very proud of the food and drink they serve. This is why they choose carefully where the ingredients are sourced. They grow their own fruit and vegetables in the kitchen garden and use many local suppliers. The pork is from Pondhead farm in Lyndhurst, real ales from Ringwood brewery, local gin from Lymington, beef from Alderstone Farm near Romsey, eggs from their own chickens and apples from an orchard in Pennington.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
The beautiful English country garden is the perfect backdrop to a traditional afternoon tea, with nothing to disturb the peace but the lazy hum of bumblebees and the chink of china cups.
The afternoon tea is a course-by-course tasting journey, which travels from thinly-sliced finger sandwiches to delicate pastries and warm scones smothered with fruity homemade jam and thick, soft clotted cream.
Blending tradition with a modern twist, they have also created a savoury afternoon tea, perfect for those who prefer sumptuous savouries to sweet treats.
Sugary pastries are replaced with a hearty Scotch egg, a warm sage and home-grown apple sausage roll, and a homemade pork pie with a tangy pickle. Then there are fresh Dorset cheddar and bacon scones, perfect with creamy Dorset soft cheese and fruity homemade chutney.
Served from 2.30pm-4.30pm
