hey’ve been cracking open the English Oak Champagne at The Green House Hotel
in Bournemouth again. This environmentally friendly luxury boutique hotel was
named the Best UK Green Hotel in the prestigious 2017 Condé Nast Johansens Awards
for Excellence. Judged by online voting, guest feedback and local expert reports, The
Green House was said to set “new standards in eco-tourism” by the publishers of Vogue,
GQ, and Traveller.
Meanwhile, at the 5 Star Chewton Glen Hotel just a short jump over the border in the
New Forest, that most English of luxury hotels received Best Dining Experience from
Condé Nast Johansens and can also boast the UK’s Best Champagne List. The judges
suggest “you’re missing out if you bypass the fresh, new-look restaurant where executive
chef Luke Matthews whips up clever dishes from fresh local produce alongside an
impressive wine list.”
One of the best places to
purchase local, sustainable
food and drink. All the
produce sold must be grown,
reared, caught or processed by
the stallholders and they are
only allowed to sell their own
delicious produce.

H
ave you tried shopping at a Food Assembly yet? 2016 was a great year for this social
enterprise that brings local producers and customers who enjoy their products
together. You simply order through an online market, then pick up your food from a
weekly pop-up market where you get a chance to meet the people who make it, as well as
like minded food lovers.
Anyone can set one up and Dorset is well served with Bridport, Shaftesbury,
Bournemouth and Southbourne all embra
