It was the perfect evening meal after walking about 15 miles all over the island. The food was glorious: I had the grilled sardines as a starter and pork chops as my main. The sardines were a revelation, mouth watering in a lemon and garlicky sauce. The pork was perfectly cooked and the sides of steamed veggies and chips (one needs a bit of vice) were of such large proportions, I might have been at home here in the U.S. Even after all that food, I opted for dessert because they had Eton Mess on the menu and I couldn't resist. It was amazing! Truly one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. The meringue was crisp and had a slight lemon tang to it and despite all the cream, it was light, airy and so delicious! This was a budget trip for me so I didn't seek fine dining experiences. That said, this was a glorious and special meal, the best I had during my visit.

A recent lunch there from the set menu revealed a sure hand in the kitchen, though front of house was a bit scatty. I had pan fried hake, with Indian spiced potatoes, spinach, and cockles. The superb creamy sauce had just a hint of curry flavour, and the whole thing worked wonderfully. My partner had roast neck fillet of lamb, with saute potatoes, pancetta, and Calvero Nero. This was a bit salty, and the lamb a bit chewy (although flavour was good). Puds were better still. I had cinnamon macaroon, maple roasted banana, pistachios, and chocolate mousse. It was a sort of deconstructed banoffee pie, and a marvel especially the creamy mousse. My other half had the vanilla poached Cox apple, lavender marshmallow, and blackberries. The marshmallow was stupendously tasty and soft. The set menu was 2 courses for £17.95, three for £21.95. A glass of house wine was an extra three quid. So, great tastes, imagination, and good value. Wait for an exhibition at the gallery that catches your fancy, and go.

We were hungry for some food, so we instead headed over to Riverview Restaurant inside The Master Builder's. The Master Builder's is more of a hotel than a restaurant, with a gorgeous view of the water. It is located right by the Beaulieu River. Even on a rainy and windy day, it was still very picturesque. Once we stepped inside, it felt as if we walked into some kind of historic building. And, rightfully so, as this is a historic hotel. They had a continental buffet set up in the main dining area. They had cereals, granola, baked goods, cheese and charcuterie platters, juice, yogurt, etc. Pretty nice selection. And what's better than looking at these selections? Being able have them without any added cost to your breakfast order of your choice! What! Their menu is plenty, but with simple pricing method. You either get the continental breakfast buffet with tea, coffee, and toast for one price, or add Full Cooked Breakfast to it with just a big more. As for "full cooked breakfast," we went with The Master Builder's Full English breakfast. It comes with Sausage, Smoked Bacon, Grilled Tomato, Mushroom, Black Pudding, Fried Bread and choice of Fried, Scrambled or Poached free range egg. I went with poached egg. One change we've made to our order was, exchanging Black Pudding with White Pudding. They were all very tasty, only thing was that the poached egg was a bit over-cooked... Other than that, it was really nice! Portion was great too. We had a really nice brunch here with lovely company, the service was polite and although bit slow, we were well taken care of. It was very relaxing and serene. Must be super popular during the warm/hot season!
