Christmas in the New Forest is truly magical. At The Bell Inn, it’s our favourite time of year. We love welcoming everyone from the Christmas office party to family festive get togethers and the ladies who lunch. We even host our own Christmas party!
Our chef has created the best Christmas menu, with indulgent 2 or 3 course options that include traditional Christmas dinner, tasty alternatives and special vegan and vegetarian Christmas menus. And, if you stay with us over the Christmas holidays, then you’re in for a treat!
If you want to stay in the New Forest this Christmas, our cosy coaching inn is perfect for a festive hotel break. Dogs are welcome as well so you can enjoy Christmas in Hampshire with crisp walks in the forest and strolls on the beach. The perfect Christmas festive break for you and your furry friends.

From 17th November to 4th January, we have exclusive New Forest Christmas Party Packages. For groups of 20 or more, this is the perfect option for staff Christmas parties, family get togethers and festive parties with your friends.

To book contact us via email – events@bellinn-newforest.co.uk or call 023 8081 2214 and one of the team will be more than happy to help.
Our indulgent festive menu is served throughout December and includes vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Choose from 2 or 3 courses of amazing food made with the best local New Forest products.
Our Christmas Lunch menu is a 5-course taste sensation. A 5-course celebration of Christmas in the New Forest. Luxurious ingredients sourced from the best local suppliers will make your Christmas Day one to remember. The Roast Hampshire Turkey with all the trimmings is a firm favourite, but perhaps you will be tempted away from the traditional main course by a Beef Wellington, or stuffed Sea Bass with lobster sauce or a vegetarian Haggis en Croute? The 5-course Christmas set menu costs £130 pp.
Overnight Christmas Breaks
If you are interested in staying in the New Forest over Christmas then we will take care of you – and your dogs – every step of the way. On Christmas Eve, enjoy our A la Carte menu then wake up on Christmas morning to your choice of room service or our famous breakfast in the restaurant. The main event is of course Christmas Dinner!
Served between 12 and 4pm our Christmas Lunch is a 5-course delight. And don’t worry – dogs are welcome to join you in the celebrations. If you’re still peckish then pop down for our festive platters of local meats and cheeses served from 6-8pm.
Accommodation packages, including all of the above, start from £599.00 per person for 2 nights and £799.00 per person for 3 nights.
New Year’s Eve Break
If you’d like to make a night of it, we have a special New Year’s Eve party room rate, meaning you won’t have to worry about carriages at midnight! Enjoy our end of year bash safe in the knowledge you’ve just a short walk to bed, plus a late check-out of 12noon the next day. Enjoy a full leisurely New Forest breakfast before honouring the great tradition of a bracing New Year’s Day walk from the doorstep of the Inn.
