Meet Lottie

"I’m a private chef from the New Forest and have lived here my whole life. I feel incredibly lucky to call this beautiful area home, and I love sharing my passion for the New Forest through the food I create. I’m passionate about using local, seasonal produce wherever possible, working with the incredible ingredients and producers we have on our doorstep. 

Fully Catered Accessible New Forest Holidays

Why not sit back and enjoy your stay while I take care of the food? I can provide fully catered weeks in your wheelchair accessible holiday cottage , tailored entirely around you and your plans. 

This can include:

• Breakfast each morning
• A picnic lunch or afternoon tea
• A freshly prepared three-course evening meal

Each menu is designed specifically for you and your budget, with the flexibility to make your stay as relaxed or as indulgent as you wish. Pricing starts with a daily chef rate, with food costs additional.

Half Board Accessible New Forest Holidays

If you would prefer half-board catering, I can also create a package to suit you, giving you as much flexibility as you need for the perfect New Forest for you and your loved ones, as everyone deserveds a holiday!

Restaurant Dining, Without Leaving our Holiday Cottages

Helen and Matt tell me how challenging it can be to find the perfect venue for a special evening during your holiday, or how you would like to be the one to book a surprise treat - but know they would still not be able to enjoy a glass of wine as they are the driver, they can't relax as they haven't read the access statement before hand, or they don't know the bathroom facilities will work for you - I can help you create that magical restaurant experience to your holiday at Our Bench.

Choose from a 2, 3 or 4 courses, with every menu created specifically for you, your preferences and your budget.

Menus start from £50 per person, depending on the ingredients selected.

All dietary requirements and allergies can be accommodated, with menus adapted to ensure everyone can enjoy the experience

Whether you’re looking for a fully catered holiday, a relaxed family meal, food for a day out or a special evening with friends, I’d love to create something bespoke for you."
