Shelley commenced her career as a chef at Windsor castle, cooking for clergyman, deans and the occasional royal! After working in various hotels in the south, she took a break to raise a family. Shelley has now returned to the kitchen with a renewed enthusiasm, running her own business here in the New Forest. Although shy, she is sometimes seen out of the kitchen at the end of the evening chatting to customers!

Alternatively, in the summer, dine al Fresco in our secluded herb garden.

Alternatively, if you’re stuck on finding that special present, consider buying a Herb Pot dinning voucher.

Why not book the whole restaurant for your special occasion? If you would like a specially designed menu talk to Shelley and she will be pleased to design a menu of your choice at a price that fits your budget.

The Herb Pot is available for corporate and business lunches throughout the week. If your time is short, orders can be placed in advance and Shelley will freshly prepare your food so that it is ready upon your arrival. Special prices are available for regular business bookings. Please phone or email Shelley for more details.
