Local Produce

Lainston House is passionate about food and sourcing the very best. As with all four Exclusive Hotels, Lainston proactively supports 'Food Heroes', a company initiative to promote and work with local suppliers, so that they can source the very best seasonal produce in and around the venue and develop excitingly varied menus.

Executive Chef Andy MacKenzie and his team, travel the length and breadth of Hampshire in search of the best boutique suppliers and producers.  Not afraid to get their hands dirty, they like to know everything from the company ethos to produce history to growing plans.

Their devotion has been handsomely recognised, not only has the kitchen won 3AA rosettes for dining, Andy is proud to have accepted a place on the Hampshire Food Board to support, promote and utilise Hampshire foods to its maximum.
