Silverlake in Dorset, part of Habitat First Group – will launch a new outdoor spa and restaurant, bringing together wild swimming, thermal wellness and deep nature immersion.
Firefly Spa and Restaurant marks a new chapter for the destination, strengthening its long-term vision of sustainability and nature-led living to welcome guests, homeowners and local members alike.
Complementing the wider wellness experience, guests will have access to lakeside dining at the restaurant overlooking the water, which offers a thoughtfully curated menu centred on nutrition, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Led by Chef Patron Paul Clarke, the kitchen champions locally sourced ingredients and a menu inspired by its Dorset surroundings, with dishes including Portland crab crumpet with smoked paprika mayonnaise, pickled fennel and endive, alongside Lyme Bay mussels served in a Thai coconut and lemongrass broth with garlic sourdough and fries. Reflecting the estate’s proximity to the coast, fresh fish and shellfish sourced locally will feature prominently, alongside family favourites crafted with the same commitment to provenance and quality.
Designed by Lisa Helmanis, the restaurant opens onto a lakeside veranda at the water’s edge, creating a relaxed setting for long lunches, sunset dinners and wellness-led refreshments inspired by the surrounding landscape.
