Balmer Lawn to the rescue of locals in lockdown

Historic family owned Brockenhurst hotel carries on the traditions of generations in supporting its local community

Ever with positive attitudes as befits the overall winners of last year's New Forest Brilliance in Business Awards, during the temporary closure the Balmer Lawn team are focusing their time and energy into helping the local community through difficult times. 

At least we're not on rations as they were 75 years ago, indeed "comfort food" comes into its own...

...and the free delivery of essential food boxes has been a lifeline for some especially the older and more vulnerable locals: not only for the supplies but also the much needed friendly conversation with the Front of House Manager when ordering.

This has seen a network of new regular customers and friendships grow. Strawberries, locally grown delicious ones, are now on the box menu too! Click here for more information and how to order! 

Plus, not only are Balmer Lawn providing the essentials, they’ve been homing in on the skills of all of their talented team to share some fantastic tips for everyone at home, from Homemade Pizza Recipes from Head Chef, to creating Your Spa at Home from Head Spa Therapist, and even How to Plan your Wedding during lockdown from Wedding Co-ordinator Ruth. Read about all this in their blog. 

And now for the latest innovation: the New Forest's first Virtual Wedding Showcase

Balmer Lawn is a beautiful and convenient location and a fabulous venue for your wedding, too.
