Restaurants, pubs and takeaways are plentiful in Lymington. Over the years we’ve been visiting some have come and gone. There was a great restaurant off the High Street that was in a converted methodist hall and had a piano installed half way up a double-height wall… sadly that’s gone. Last season we went to the following… Stanwell House Hotel This fine hotel has a great fish restaurant in the front of their building. It’s pricey […]
The dining options are limited in the Beaulieu area. There’s the Master Builder’s pub and then in Beaulieu village there’s Monty’s and The Terrace at the Montagu Arms.

Monty’s Some friends of ours met us at Beaulieu on mid-Summer’s day to help celebrate the longest day. This meant we were chauffeured to Monty’s […]

It seemed strange on such a perfect sailing day to see […]
We tried a number of places to eat in the short time we were in Falmouth for re-provisioning but also immediate consumption. In the sunshine Falmouth had the feeling of a mediterranean country with plenty of al fresco dining opportunities which surprised and delighted. Around the Port Pendennis Marina there are numerous options including Pizza, Steak, Fish and a cocktail lounge. We also went into Town to sample the cafes and what follows are brief reviews […]
