Built on traditional family values, exceptional customer service and a genuine passion for hospitality, our group has grown to encompass a collection of unique businesses, each offering memorable experiences while sharing the same commitment to quality, care and personal service.

The Happy Cheese

Our flagship family pub in Ashurst, nestled on the edge of the beautiful New Forest, has become a favourite destination for great food, warm hospitality and community events. From hearty breakfasts and award-winning Sunday roasts to quiz nights, comedy evenings and family celebrations, The Happy Cheese is at the heart of everything we do.

Bella's Gelato

Lovingly created in Ashurst by Lucy, Bella's Gelato produces authentic artisan Italian gelato using carefully selected ingredients and traditional methods. Available through our retail outlets, wholesale partners and event services, Bella's has quickly developed a reputation for exceptional flavour and quality.

Hunter's Retreats

Creating fun-filled family escapes, Hunter's Retreats offers carefully selected holiday accommodation designed to help families relax, reconnect and make lasting memories. Our retreats provide comfortable, welcoming bases from which to explore some of the South's most beautiful destinations.

Solent Coffee House

Combining expertly crafted coffee with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, Solent Coffee House serves quality drinks, delicious food and genuine hospitality. Whether meeting friends, catching up on work or enjoying a moment to yourself, we believe great coffee brings people together.

A Family Business at Heart

While each of our brands has its own identity, they are united by a common purpose: delivering outstanding customer experiences through genuine hospitality.

As a family business, we believe in building long-term relationships with our customers, supporting local communities, creating opportunities for our teams and continually investing in the quality of our products and services.

Whether you're visiting our pub, enjoying our gelato, planning a family getaway, relaxing with a coffee or working with us through one of our commercial ventures, you'll always receive the same warm welcome that has defined our family business from the very beginning.
