Stock Hill Country House Hotel - Gillingham
If you are seeking the comfort, warmth and relaxation of a sublimely welcoming Country House Hotel with a fine dining restaurant then you may well consider Stock Hill to be the perfect venue for a weekend or a week.
You arrive at Stock Hill to an effusive welcome and are shown to one of the guest lounges – a truly wonderful log fire burns in the winter making you feel immediately at home. In spring and summer the 11-acres of landscaped gardens are a sheer delight.
Dining at Stock Hill is an experience. Sit in a comfortable arm chair and relax with an aperitif and canapés before being invited to select from the menu. Six or seven inventive starters, six main courses offering both traditional Austrian favourites featuring venison, beef, fish and game birds as well as some delightful surprises and vegetarian specialities. The wine list is extensive featuring traditional and modern selections to suit all price ranges. Peter’s Hauser’s daily changing menu is inventive, imaginative and highly original, yet never loses touch with the quality of the ingredients – mostly sourced locally in Dorset and from his walled, organic vegetable garden. His native Austrian influence is apparent but never overwhelms the plate; inevitably the dessert menu is a tableau of his mastery and cannot be missed.
