Walkers can fuel up with a breakfast made from the finest local ingredients during New Forest Marque’s two-week breakfast promotion event.

New Forest Marque has connected food producers with hospitality venues across the forest who have agreed to host special breakfasts between 18 – 30 April..

The Great New Forest Marque Breakfast is the perfect chance to enjoy produce from Commoners who produce high-welfare free-roaming meat, as well as free-range egg producers, passionate fruit and vegetable growers, jam makers and more.

Venues providing New Forest breakfasts during the fortnight-long event are conveniently located to enjoy a great walk before or afterwards.

New Park Manor Hotel, near Brockenhurst is close to the Lyndhurst – Brockenhurst Loop and a wonderful walk through woods and health at Aldridgehill.

Or enjoy the sweeping views at Hale Purlieu with a breakfast at nearby Hockey’s Farm Shop, nr Fordingbridge.

The Countryside Education Trust is also close to the Beaulieu to Bucker’s Hard riverside walk.

New Forest Marque said: “Breakfast is the perfect meal to showcase a range of this quality produce in one place, and the aim is to give everyone the chance to experience a truly local breakfast, and also demonstrate how easy it is to ‘support local’.

“New Forest food and drink producers are up against the supermarkets but local produce is a better choice all round – less distance travelled so nutrients retained and less carbon footprint, traceable, higher quality as not mass produced, and shopping local helps to boost the nearby economy.”
