Best Hotel Restaurants | Stanwell House

At Stanwell House, we’ve undertaken a multi-million-pound refurbishment to create a luxury getaway.

Our transformational renovation extends to our three dining spaces; each of which offers something different for guests to enjoy.

Guests can enjoy refined, fine dining at our seafood restaurant, Samphire, or a more casual experience at our Salt Bar. Alternatively, guests can indulge in a spot of afternoon tea or a cocktail in The Orangery.

Best Hotel Restaurants | Samphire 

Our Samphire restaurant provides an impeccable dining experience. We offer attentive service, sumptuous décor and, of course, great food!

With a predominant focus on seafood, Samphire reflects the very best in quality ingredients. Each dish showcases meticulous attention to detail, in both preparation and presentation.

Our a-la-carte menu promises a distinguished experience. Guests can select from our array of scrumptious starters, including red shrimp risotto and confit duck ravioli.

For the main event, we specialise in fish classics with a modern twist. These include turbot wrapped in crispy pancetta, pan-roasted sea bass and seared halibut. 

Those wishing to give their palate a party can opt for our ‘tasting menu’. This comprises options such as Poole bay lobster, a bone marrow candle and pumpkin souffle.

All the best hotel restaurants offer a wine list to compliment the dishes — and we’re no exception! Why not treat yourself to a glass of Heritage white, or even indulge in a bottle of classic Cuvée?

Best Hotel Restaurants | Salt Bar

Whether you’re looking for a light bite or a casual feast after a busy day, our Salt Bar is open to all.

Our comfortable yet stylish bar features exposed brick walls and a log burner. Its warming decor and soft furnishings create a cosy atmosphere — perfect for sharing a bottle of wine or getting lost in a good book.

Our seasonal menu offers a great selection of family favourites and comforting, seasonal dishes. A nod to British cuisine, our Stanwell classics include ham, egg and chips, chicken kiev and fish and chips.

To add a touch of Stanwell sophistication, we only use the highest quality ingredients to create our Salt Bar dishes. By placing a fresh spin on traditional flavours, we want to be known as one of the best hotel restaurants in the New Forest.
