The Terrace at The Montagu Arms

"The New Forest is my larder and what a larder it is!”

Matthew Tomkinson | Head Chef

Matthew Tomkinson is a chef with personality and an instinctive and passionate flair for food.

One of only 34 Roux Scholars in the UK, he sees dishes as his natural expression of a warm welcome.

These are all values clearly reflected in his signature classic style, a sophisticated blend of richly comforting dishes with elegant touches of innovation.

His intuitive imagination for seasonal dishes is inspired and driven by a superb natural larder right on his doorstep. All showcased ultimately on the plate with spectacular produce straight from the restaurant’s organic kitchen garden, from across The New Forest and from the neighbouring coastal counties of Hampshire and Dorset.

The very best seasonal, regional produce sourced with passion, crafted with care and served exquisitely.

“Intricately prepared with remarkable flavours, textures and aromas.” - Great British Chefs
