Hartnett Holder & Co at Lime WoodLuke Holder
Three Rosettes
Hartnett Holder & Co, the restaurant at Lime Wood – a luxurious boutique hotel in the New Forest with a bohemian vibe –
is a culinary breath of fresh air compared to conventional country house eateries.
Co-chefs Angela Hartnett – one of our most celebrated female chefs – and Luke
Holder, whose refined, full-flavoured food is produce-led, are behind the fare
that Tatler magazine deemed responsible for turning the plush Lyndhurst
hideaway into a “serious food destination”.
Hartnett Holder & Co has a classy, convivial ambience. The central bar allows
for views across the elegant, comfortable dining rooms, while dishes –
described as “out-and-out British with the much-loved Italian approach to
eating” – are rustic and creative. Here, the fun has been put back into fine
dining: expect sumptuous yet earthy dishes such as Mackerel, English muffin
and oyster; and Pork belly, rabbit, chorizo, clams & cannellini. Sharing plates
along the lines of whole brill, baked with fennel and preserved lemon salad
regularly feature on the enticing menu. The wine list, described as “sweeping”
by the Waitrose Good Food Guide, has a generous selection of organic and
biodynamic wines.
Like The Pig in nearby Brockenhurst – a similar “self-sufficient foodie
enterprise” writes the 2015 Good Food Guide – the kitchen takes full
advantage of Hampshire’s abundant produce. The impressive grounds facilitate
homegrown crops, and the onsite smokehouse yields smoked fish and
charcuterie, “slow foods” such as chorizo, and lavender cured loin of pork, that
have become integral to the hotel’s cuisine. Meat is organic and forest food –
wild greens, herbs and mushrooms – is plucked from nearby woodlands.
As a hotel restaurant, Hartnett Holder & Co has been much-lauded: the 2015
Michelin Guide describes the Italian-influenced menu as “inspiring”; it holds
three AA Rosettes; won Restaurant of the Year at the Food & Travel Awards
2013; and Restaurant of the Year at the Hampshire Food & Drinks Awards
2013, where Luke Holder was also voted Chef of the Year.

Three things you should know
Having previously worked in a restaurant in Thailand attached to a
sensory spa, Luke Holder finds it “easy to get the whole philosophy” of
the raw food menu available from Raw & Cured, the hotel spa’s health
bar.
The hotel has a dedicated forager who gathers and delivers produce
daily.
Believing that “a happy kitchen produces happy food”, and recognising
the potential for staff burnout, Luke Holder’s team works a three-and-
a-half-day week.

The ChefLuke HolderThe experience of living abroad as a youngster shaped Luke Holder culinary
beliefs: “First and foremost every cuisine is tasty, generally”, he says equitably,
adding: “Having been brought up in the Middle East and Italy, where the culture
of eating is much more family orientated, where people are given dishes in the
middle of the table and take part… it definitely influenced the way I want my
customers to feel comfortable eating.”
