Best Dinner Places to Eat in Isle of Wight

"With its celeb-speckled spa, haute interior, and the surrounding fecund forest nestling in at every opportunity, Lime Wood Hotel is a sybaritic affair. In keeping, its restaurant is “led” by chef-legend Angela Hartnett, and Luke Holder. Small plates hop off the pass all day."

"Lime Wood is the boutique hotel to stay at in the New Forest. Set in its own substantial. Lime Wood is the boutique hotel to stay at in the New Forest."

"Established in 2011 by hotel hotshot Robin Hutson, The Pig in Brockenhurst, was an immediate hit for its menu, the ingredients for which were all sourced from within 25 miles of the restaurant. Today, the forest’s produce remains a focal point for chef James Golding, who plucks leaves from the garden and smokes local hog and trout whenever he can. The restaurant’s menu is split under headers like “piggy bits,” “forest bits,” “mostly picked this morning.” Hampshire wood pigeon, cauliflower cheese with Isle of wight blue, and zero mile mushroom risotto are all comforting stars of the show."

"There may be a whole litter of Pigs, but this is the original. Expect a turn-of-the-century, ivy-covered manor house two miles east of Brockenhurst where inside you’ll find rustic-chic country decor, laid-back staff and lashings of country ephemera (old armchairs, antique clocks, oil paintings and a library of books on rural subjects). Rooms range from cosy to spacious; either in the main house or one of the handsome lodges and cabins dotted around the grounds (we particularly liked Bert’s Box, with its floor-to-ceiling windows)."

"Hengistbury Head is a beautiful spot, less than half an hour along the coast from Bournemouth. It offers views to the Isle of Wight, back towards Bournemouth and also across the lagoon towards Christchurch. If you want to buy your own slice of the English coastline, check out the top-of-the-range beach huts selling for over £300k!"

"Six miles east of Bournemouth town centre is Hengistbury Head, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The “Head” is a promontory looking over the English Channel, and has been occupied by humans since the Upper Palaeolithic. If you don’t have a car you can reach it via the Land Train, or cycle along the promenade."

"Technically it’s just out of the New Forest, but it’s an easy (and fabulous) attraction to add to your itinerary. Hengistbury Head is a headland that juts out of the coast not far from Bournemouth. It’s a bit of a nature lovers playground, with lots of different animals around and a pretty amazing beach."
