All-Day Dining in the New Forest
Welcome to Elms Café & Bar, a bright and relaxed all-day dining space at THE NICI New Forest, where guests naturally drift from morning coffee to leisurely lunches, afternoon bites and easy-going suppers. Inspired by the casual confidence of East Coast dining, the menu brings together feel-good American classics, fresh salads, generous comfort dishes and family favourites, all served in an atmosphere that feels warm, sociable and unhurried.
From slow breakfasts and smoothies to burgers, lobster rolls and stone-baked pizzas, Elms is the kind of place to settle into – whether after a walk through the New Forest, a morning by the coast, or simply because one more coffee feels like a good idea.
A MENU FOR EVERY MOOD
At Elms Café & Bar, the menu moves effortlessly through the day. Start with nourishing breakfasts, fresh juices and brunch favourites, linger over vibrant salads or comforting classics at lunch, then ease into relaxed evening dining with grills, seafood, pizzas and familiar favourites done exceptionally well.
Generous, unfussy and full of flavour, it’s food designed to suit every appetite and every kind of day.
STAY FOR A DRINK
From fresh juices and smoothies by day to cocktails and something sparkling as the sun goes down, Elms shifts with the rhythm of the day. Settle in for an afternoon drink, a casual aperitif or an easy evening with good company and something refreshing in hand.
Relaxed, welcoming and always easy to return to.
