EVERY YEAR WE GO IN SEARCH OF THE BEST LOCAL PRODUCERS AND RETAILERS. IT NOT ONLY SHOWCASES OUR LITTLE CORNER OF ENGLAND, IT ALSO HELPS BOOST THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND KEEPS OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT DOWN.
THIS YEAR, ALMOST 90% OF OUR STANDS ARE FROM THE NEW FOREST, HAMPSHIRE OR DORSET. YET, STILL WE WANTED MORE AND AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, THE ANSWER WAS OUR LOCAL PUB IN LYMINGTON!
About the Monkey Brewhouse
New Forest local Will Bradshaw along with wife Lizzie, took over Monkey Brewhouse in July 2019. The popular family run brewpub, restaurant and B&B is one of the last standing free houses, and Lymington’s only brewpub. Will, an award-wining brewer by trade had long dreamed of running his own free house with a micro-brewery on site.
Having undergone an extensive refurbishment in the pub and B&B extending the dining and terrace area and added their very own purpose-built brewhouse. Fresh from the fermenters to the taps, their range includes the ever popular Sea Wall Session IPA, Forest Lager, Buckland Howler and Tollhouse bitter, to name a few!
It’s Beer ‘O’ Clock!
We’ve teamed up with landlord and brewing maestro Will Bradshaw at the Monkey Brewhouse who is tasked with producing a limited edition ‘festival ale’.
They’ve forged a partnership with ‘Two Thirds Beer’ that will to pair excellently with the fish and seafood dishes on offer. Soft and silky smooth IPA it will have a light malt base and a deft touch of sweetness to support the array of tropical hop flavours.
