Zen Garden - Brockenhurst

The Zen garden is tucked away around the back of Carey’s manor hotel, next to the spa. Its the main restaurant used by spa guests in the day. Zen is probably a place to go for a more quiet and relaxing meal. The food is testy, and there is a selection for vegetarian options which is good. I was disappointed that I couldn’t have a Thai curry without fish sauce as it’s my favourite. The other options were good though, and a spicy veg and tofu dish with chilli, which I asked for...extra hot! was delicious! One tip... the waitress needs to learn how to pour drinks with bubbles, as she was over spilling all our glasses and I had to take over. Overall the staff were helpful, especially the gentleman staff member. Sorry I don’t know his name.

We visited in January after my partner surprised me with a spa afternoon at Senspa, which is located in the same building. The dining experience was fantastic, and the staff who took care of our table were very efficient and attentive. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that, despite my partner making a reservation well in advance for Christmas, we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, which felt a bit odd. Overall, it was a very nice experience!

I had a wonderful Thai meal. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was fantastic.

This is a fantastic restaurant! The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. When we mentioned our anniversary, we were pleasantly surprised with some sparkling wine and delightful desserts.

The food is delicious, light and tasty. large customer service, would totally recommend
