Chilworth Arms, The Description

mandb food generic shotThis pub has been an attractive part of Chilworth's history since the 19th century. It is located close to the New Forest and a short drive from the beaches of Bournemouth. A recent refurbishment has transformed it into a comfortable place with warm log fires in the winter, a large alfresco patio and garden for finer weather. They serve tasty food, continental beers, a range of wines and fresh juices.

There are gourmet pizzas perfect for an early weekday evening out, to a range of fine aged steaks and fresh fish for that ultimate treat. The menu is full of traditional pub classics, many with a slight Italian twist. There are plenty of pastas, salads and lighter dishes for those who don't want to over-indulge.

The wine list has an even balance of new and old world wines with a variety of styles to choose from. There is also a range of continental beers such as Birra Moretti, Staropramen, Amstel and Edelweiss to enjoy. Food is served all day, from the bar menu containing lighter bites to a full set of options.

To set the right note of fashionable sociability there are sharing plates, Spanish tapas of prosciutto, Manchego, sardines and tortilla, a baked Camembert with rustic bread and onion marmalade, Greek mezze of taramasalata with humus, tzatziki, feta and flatbread, or a pizzette with garlic, rocket and Parmesan.

Amongst the starters, touchingly referred to as 'little dishes', there is freshly made soup, smoked haddock with poached egg, crab cakes with tomato, chilli and coriander salsa, seared tuna carpaccio, or cider braised onion tart. Look, too, for Black Pearl scallops when the market is right.

The salads - sorry, that should read 'leaves' - offer chicken with chorizo skewers, watercress and minted cucumber raitha, for the seafood fiends some seared salmon Caesar with marinated anchovies and parmesan or buffalo mozzarella with warm roast vine tomatoes and rocket.

These days no self-respecting gastropub can afford to be without its pizza range; expect to find a classic Margherita of tomato, mozzarella and basil, or the challenging diavolo spiced chicken with peppadew peppers, chilli and tabasco. For those who like to build their own pizzas you can, for a modest sum, add to the basic dish with a choice from chorizo, olives, jalapenos, mushrooms or bacon. Or of course the whole lot if you're feeling that way.

Pastas include fettuccine with salmon, prawns, coconut and chilli, chef's choice risotto, or lasagne with chicken and blue cheese. For the big event, there is always a fish of the day on request. The steak burger with Swiss cheese, bacon, relish and fries is popular, a sign of the times and improving taste in eating. The calves' liver with mash, pancetta and baby onions is worth trying too. For hearty eaters there are good fillet steaks with horseradish Chantilly, green beans and frites.

A wide range of supporting dishes includes buttered new potatoes, Belgium frites and mayo and greens, leeks and peas. For those who have to be lashed to a plank to induce them to eat root vegetables, try them here, honey roasted and altogether different from the all too often pallid steamed variety. For desserts resort to the blackboard, where there is always a good display, often with some of the local cheeses to set the buffs alight.
