California Wine Country Restaurant in the New Forest
This is a stylish,‘sexy’ restaurant that redefines the hotel dining experience...lunch in the New Forest or dinner in the New Forest on a higher plain at one of the 'Top Ten Hotels in Britain 2009'.
Many would regard Hotel TerraVina as a chic restaurant with luxury rooms in the New Forest. In fact, there can be few restaurants in Southampton, Winchester or the New Forest that can compare with this California-style gem (see for yourself in our virtual tour). Even The Times featured the TerraVina restaurant in its Eat Out in James Bond Style article. It was their love of California wine country restaurants that inspired Nina to design and create a place that epitomizes dining out in the sunshine state. The ‘open kitchen’ is a superb feature. Have you ever tried a Sunday roast cooked in a wood burning oven? It’s almost as though the food is cooked at your table; no long walk from kitchen to table here.
You can see the restaurant and the kitchen, as well as meet Gerard and Nina Basset, in this excerpt from the popular ITV series 'The Secrets of My Success'.
The new lunch menu at Hotel TerraVina sets a higher standard for lunch in the New Forest as does our dinner menu for dinner in the New Forest. We have a special Christmas table d'hote lunch menu throughout December and, if you're looking for somewhere really special for a Christmas party in the New Forest, Christmas Day lunch in the New Forest or New Year's Eve dinner celebration in the New Forest, then Hotel TerraVina is certainly very special indeed.
One side of the restaurant opens out onto a wonderful veranda for al fresco breakfast, lunch or early dinners when the weather is warm. If it’s not, the wood burning stove creates a warm and cosy environment.
We use fresh, free-range and organic produce from local New Forest suppliers, wherever possible, cooked with distinct flavours.
As you might expect, wine is always a key element of dining at Hotel TerraVina. Our sommeliers will advise on the most appropriate wines and, once you’ve decided, will be eager for your comments.
Hotel TerraVina has been awarded a César by The Good Hotel Guide as one of the 'Top Ten Hotels in Britain 2009'. The food scored an impressive 9/10.
