Spectacular Lunch at Verveine

As the UK face soaring inflation it can be hard for many people to find the cash to eat out. On the other hand, every now and then everyone needs a treat, and of course dining out anywhere helps to support our hard hit village hospitality businesses.

For a birthday celebration we decided to go for the Six Course Lunchtime Taster Menu (£39pp) created by an extraordinary chef. In fact, we were actually served nine courses when including the complimentary dishes which come with the menu! This meal would easily be over £100 per person in an equivalent London restaurant.

Milford on Sea's spectacular fine dining fish restaurant has an amazing lunch offering starting at £24 for two courses. The dining room is small and intimate and whilst admiring the art created by the plates of food it is easy to miss the walls featuring various artworks including pieces by Salvador Dali.

Verveine take a different approach to dining out, their menu is created to include a mixture of Verveine favourites alongside new and seasonally inspired creations with the very best ingredients.

They simply ask 3 questions when you arrive:
  1. How many courses would you like?
  2. Is there anything you don't fancy eating?
  3. And do you have any allergies?
They then take it from there, whilst you sit back and relax and enjoy your extra special dining experience.

Daily Changing Lunch Menu
  • 2 course: £24
  • 3 course: £29
  • 6 course tasting lunch menu: £39
Evening Menu
  • 4 courses: £55 - £88 with matching wines
  • 6 courses: £75 - £110 with matching wines
  • 8 courses: £95 - £130 with matching wines
As always the menu is packed with flavours and the creative flair that only chef patron, David Wykes and Helen can pull off. If you enjoy eating fish it would be hard to find a better place to experience the fruits of the sea.





To book please call: 01590 642176 or visit: www.verveine.co.uk.

Sunshine for Armed Forces Day on Village Green

The Royal British Legion Celebratory Picnic was held to celebrate Armed Forces Day on 25th June 2022 on Milford on Sea Village Green.

An overcast morning looked ominous, but by the time the event started at 12 noon the sun had come out, along with a lot of picnic goers. Milford on Sea never hesitates to join in a party!

This charming free of charge village event invited people to bring a picnic whilst they enthusiastically sang along and danced to the music of The Two Mikes and The Jems.

The afternoon also included a stall by the Milford on Sea Royal British Legion, a raffle and collection. The Cave were also providing drinks and tapas on their village green benches.

Milford School Big Bash

Its that time of year again when the current crop of pupils from Milford Primary School move onto secondary school. Each year the PFA do an amazing job of organising a 'Big Bash' to celebrate their time at MOSPS as well as giving them a truly memorable send off with each receiving a hoody to remember their time there.

The PFA and parents need to raise around £3000 to make this possible. In years gone by there have been many local residents and businesses that have kindly contributed to the Big Bash and again they are trying to raise funds to meet the costs.

The Milford Primary School PFA have set up a just giving page that local residents and businesses can donate to, to ensure that despite the pandemic the current crop of pupils can really enjoy their Big Bash!

To donate; please click here. Any donations towards it would be very gratefully received by the PFA and Pupils.

First Friday Lunch in aid of Primary School

July's First Friday Lunch on Friday 1st July and is in aid of Milford-on-Sea C.E Primary School.

The organisers commented: We are currently fundraising for many different projects but the money raised at the lunch will go towards funding a small interactive whiteboard and trolley. 

The unit will be predominantly used in the HIVE Learning Centre, which is now being accessed by 56 children across the school offering tailored curriculum for pupils on the SEND register and also interventions for other children - catch up, speech and language, handwriting, social skills and positive mental health. 

This would allow these children a chance to benefit from technology and interactive display that is in all other classrooms. By having a smaller screen, on a height adjustable, wheelie trolley, we can also be flexible with this resource and use it for other groups around the school (interventions in the hall, the breakfast area and even to use in the staffroom for briefings, governor meetings and meetings with external visitors).

Basically, a great flexible learning tool that all pupils and staff will benefit from.

No need to book, just go along and enjoy a delicious 2 course homemade lunch of Cottage Pie and Pudding for only £7. 

The lunch will also feature lots of fantastic raffle prizes and music from the children of Milford-on-Sea Primary School.

Spectacle Recycling in Milford on Sea

The Becton & District Rotary Club (who have many members in Milford on Sea) are part of a scheme to recycle unwanted spectacles for use in currently mainly African countries where eye care is either prohibitively expensive for the majority of their citizens or non-existent.

In Milford on Sea their are distinctive collection bins located in the Cat & Kitten Charity Shop and Boots The Chemist. Other collection points have also been set up in New Milton & Lymington.

If you have unwanted spectacles please drop them in any of the collection boxes and Becton Rotary will do the rest. By doing so you will be part of a scheme that could improve the sight of desperate individuals enabling them to support their families.
