Stock Hill Restaurant
 |
Peter Hauser's food is
an interesting blend of classic French and English cuisine highlighted with an
underlying influence of his native Austrian upbringing. Peter trained in Austria
at the Hotel Schwechaterhof in Linz. He is an innovative, creative chef
who enjoys experimenting with unusual combinations that tingle the taste buds.
The result is both original and different. His kitchen philosophy is to prepare
dishes using the simplest, freshest ingredients including fine local produce,
such as game and meat from the surrounding countryside, freshly caught fish and
shellfish from the nearby Dorset coast along with home grown vegetables and
herbs from his walled kitchen garden. Peter's refreshing view on his
culinary skill is, "I don't cook like anyone else, I cook like me". When
you have visited Stock Hill you will understand just what this means. Take
a look at Peter's recipes and you'll see
what he means. To complement the food,
Stock Hill's restaurant features fine wines and the immaculate service you
would expect from a highly acclaimed, award winning Country House Hotel; but there is a
difference, there's anticipation in the atmosphere and an excitement as the food
is served.
There are no particular events that bring about this ambience - it's simply
there; the staff, the decor, the house, the view of the gardens, the atmosphere
of calm and true relaxation, coupled with friendly people and an air of knowing
how to make your visit really enjoyable. |

Breakfast time
Of course, no stay in an English Country House
Hotel can be complete without the vital experience of a truly inspiring full
English breakfast, though of course a full continental selection is also
available. Stock Hill will certainly not disappoint. Its extensive breakfast
menu is the perfect start to the day and is presented in the Lancaster Room,
named after the famous cartoonist
Osbert Lancaster, whose Grandfather once lived
in the house. An original Lancaster cartoon adorns the wall.
And if after a day of exploring the Dorset countryside you are desperately in
need of a cup of tea, then on your return to Stock Hill you are offered a
freshly brewed pot of a tea of your choice and home made cake, either to be served in
your room, or in the comfort of one of the lounges as part of the service.
