An interview with Gerard Basset

Not often is Enjoy! stuck for words but on this occasion, for sure! It’s a warm summer evening in the New Forest, at Hotel TerraVina, and Gerard Basset, the most highly regarded sommelier in the World.

1812

At last a glamorous, stylish and choice-packed venue that's delivery was as good as its looks!

Beehive

The New Beehive boutique hotel is owned and run by the Hollingworth family and staff who are on hand to welcome you and make your stay enjoyable.

Customs House

Not only is the Custom House building a Poole landmark, but so is the restaurant it hosts.

Fishy Fishy

Headed up by celebrity TV presenter Dermot O'Leary and two of his best buddies, the new restaurant is billed as offering up a; 'desirable, affordable and socially conscious place to eat', and that place is on Poole’s Dolphin Quays.

Hotel TerraVina

It is hard to know where to start with Hotel TerraVina (one of Britain's Top 10 Hotels says the Good Hotel Guide) and its modern California Wine Country Restaurant (noted in the Michelin Guide), which is headed up quite visually by the young, and charming head chef Alan Haughie.

Key West

Dining on Bournemouth Pier in the lovely Key West restaurant is such a great experience!

Oliver's

Oliver's is somewhat of a contradiction in terms - it's a brand new a take-away that delivers!

Patrick's

Patrick's Restaurant and Bar is the hub of the drinking and dining fraternity at Ashley Cross in Poole.

South Deep

It is just fabulous, in the last couple of years it has grown literally and by way of its dining offering.

Tylney Hall Hotel

An overwhelming feeling of 'space' is one’s first emotional experience of the Tylney Hall Hotel and its classic English countryside setting.

Westover Hall

The Westover Hall Hotel in Milford-on-Sea (as close to the Isle of Wight as you’ll get on foot!) is home to one of those very special culinary secrets!

Worth a Munch on...

A few more worthy restaurants.
