Old news perhaps for some, but just in case you haven't heard, they have a new Manager Damir Terzic,and Head chef Adam Duebel, ex Savoy chef, I've been assured they have lifted their game to a level in keeping with the location.

It's always been a beautiful place to visit, His Lordship has not over exploited the river, the charges for mooring is in line with most other places,but in the past the MBH always seemed to disappoint, poor service, poor food (IMHO). just thought I'd sound you guys out, as to who's been there this season? and whadyathinkofit?


My interest is non commercial, just that I live in this part of the New Forest, and have said for a long time if only they could get their act somewhere near that of the Folly for service and quality.

Five of us had lunch at the MBH last Wednesday and enjoyed it. The service was really excellent led by a tall gentleman who may have been the manager. The food was very good and priced about right. Only grumble was the cost of the wine which was over the top. All in all it was OK.
 
Took SWMBO, daughter and daughters friend there last night,

I had a burger and chips, SWMBO a bowl of pasta with rocket, garlic and pine nuts (but missing garlic and pine nuts oddly), and kids had beans on toast and pasta with bacon and a bucket of chips, drinks 2x appletisers, 2 pints of Doom Bar and a white wine and lemonade.........£61

SWMBO pasta really bland and missing ingredients!!!, (SWMBO did complain to 2 members of staff, (first one didn't seem bothered... neither did second...)
also chips not quite cooked, but burger OK, not great... but OK. Kids liked their food...
but for £61..... I'm sorry, we will not be returning to the Master Builders to eat. Frankly I thought it was bloody awful! :mad:

perhaps its a weekend issue?

Last time we went, which was 2010 (!), we were put off by the high prices and lack of choice. From this thread it sounded like things had changed and I was thinking which weekend to go, but seems to be hit and miss at the very least...
