COLIN NASH RESTAURANT
Local, Seasonal, Authentic Dining
Indulge in a truly local, seasonal dining experience with zero air miles, featuring fresh produce from the Hinton Admiral Estate and the finest line-caught catch from our friends fishing out of Mudeford Harbour. The vision of award-winning chef, Colin Nash, this culinary gem reflects his three decades of expertise and passion for sustainable, seasonal ingredients.
Join us on Sundays for a hearty roast, the perfect way to round off your rejuvenating weekend in the idyllic New Forest. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Colin Nash brings the best of farm and sea straight to your table.
We Love Local
We are passionate supporters of our local farmers, fishermen, producers and suppliers.
Our wild venison, for example, is as local and sustainable as you can get, directly sourced from the Hinton Admiral Estate. Extremely delicious, wild venison is also leaner than beef or chicken and rich in protein, iron, B-vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids, making it the optimal choice for health and taste.
Meanwhile we are proud to support sustainable marine practices by offering local, line-caught fish and hosting the Christchurch Harbour Society’s clean water campaign.
Zero air-miles drinks are also on offer, thanks to our micro-brewer across the meadow: Drop the Anchor.

VEGAN MAGDA
Bespoke, Creative, Unique Catering
Hi, I'm Magda, a plant-based food lover who transforms simple ingredients into magic. I cook with seasonal, local, and sustainable produce, proving that plant-based meals are anything but boring. I love preparing big feasts full of textures, flavours, and colours, as the visual and aesthetic aspects of food are as important.
I enjoy winning over sceptical meat lovers with nourishing, protein-packed dishes that satisfy you, minus the food coma. Inspired by my heritage and travels, I blend global flavours with traditional techniques, from Polish pickling to Southeast Asian street food. Let me show you the vibrant, delicious world of plant-based cooking!
Your Special Day, Cooked by Me
I’ve cooked at many retreats; food and cooking are my love languages, and I take pride in sharing them with people. Food is more than just putting something on the plate; it influences our feelings. It carries emotions, stories, and memories. Food deserves a special place in our lives. Let me help you do that.
My enthusiasm and passion, combined with a chatty nature, are always welcome at the retreats, as guests are welcome to hang out with me in the kitchen, watch me cook and ask any questions.
