Set in 130 acres of its own grounds, Chewton Glen is a luxury hotel and spa located on the edge of the New Forest National Park. Its rural location affords this hotel a sense of peace and tranquillity that’s ideal for couples enjoying a relaxing weekend break, while ramblers love its proximity to some of the UK’s best walking routes.
Guests at Chewton Glen can choose from a range of rooms, including classic rooms, garden rooms, master suites and hot tub and hotel suites. The newly installed treehouse suites also offer visitors the opportunity to really immerse themselves in the great outdoors and each one boasts impressive views of the surrounding landscape.
Since its opening, Chewton Glen has built up a particularly excellent reputation for its dining options. As well as the luxurious Dining Room restaurant, the hotel is home to The Kitchen – a more casual eatery that has been developed in collaboration with noted TV chef James Martin. Inside, the open-plan layout and large windows afford the space a light and airy feel while also allowing guests to watch the chefs at work. The à la carte menu is available throughout the week and head chef Adam Hart delights in using produce grown in the restaurant’s own beds and greenhouses, ensuring maximum flavour and freshness in his dishes. The selection of starters includes a number of appetising plates: try the mouth-watering salt-and-vinegar pork scratchings or the grilled tiger prawns with roast lemon – these are perfectly juicy and packed with flavour. Moving on, the list of mains encompasses superfood salads and sumptuous burgers, as well as homemade pizzas and grilled dishes such as beer-brined chicken supreme and salt-aged rib-eye steak. Famous for his sweet-tooth, James Martin has also developed an irresistible list of desserts for The Kitchen. Who can resist a warm chocolate and raspberry mousse, or cinnamon churros with Bailey’s dipping sauce?
Attached to The Kitchen you’ll also find the cookery school, where members of the public can learn from experienced chefs. Classes can focus on anything from summer salads to spicy curries, beautiful breads to bespoke gin. There are even courses for kids – these are a great way to get them interested in food.
