The Garden

Discover The Garden with Joseph Perrier, at Stanwell House
Lymington’s leading outdoor dining & drinks destination

The Garden at Stanwell House is reopening for the summer from Friday 22nd May, returning as Lymington’s go-to spot for long lunches, sunset drinks, and relaxed outdoor dining in the heart of Lymington.

This year, we’re proud to announce a partnership with Joseph Perrier Champagne, bringing a Champagne-led approach to The Garden and adding a refined yet relaxed sense of celebration to summer days and evenings.

Tucked away behind the hotel’s historic walls, this beautifully re-imagined garden space at Stanwell House has been designed for easy summer living. Think deck chairs, soft blankets, fire pits for cooler evenings, and plenty of space to settle in from afternoon through to evening.

Whether you’re dropping by for a spontaneous glass of Champagne in the sunshine, gathering friends for dinner, or lingering over cocktails as the evening unfolds, The Garden brings together the laid-back spirit of the coast with the charm of the New Forest.

The drinks offering, led by Joseph Perrier Champagne, sits at the heart of the experience, complemented by crisp rosé, refreshing Spritz cocktails, and perfectly chilled beers, all made for easy outdoor enjoyment.

The menu takes inspiration from the Mediterranean, with vibrant small plates designed for sharing, grilled seafood, fresh flatbreads, seasonal salads, and sunshine-filled dishes made for relaxed, sociable dining. At the centre of it all is the custom grill and pizza oven, serving bold summer flavours throughout the season at Stanwell House.

Throughout the summer, The Garden at Stanwell House will host a rolling programme of Summer Sounds, bringing a relaxed, sociable energy to the space as the day moves into evening. Expect laid-back afternoons and vibrant summer nights, with music that perfectly complements long conversations, shared plates, and sunset drinks across Lymington.
