Arboro Lounge in New Forest

Great place and well kitted out for a lunch. Food is middle of the road. Had a salad that was described as grilled herb chicken and bacon but it was actually lemon chicken with a ceaser sauce so not that nice . The menu definitely needs help .

Had an amazing meal here, tried the flatbread with lamb kofte on the new menu and it was amazing. Always amazing service too.

Ed, Issac and Callum what a treat to be treated with the best customer service I have seen in a long time. This team are top and well worth a visit. So great to see service at its best well done guys you restored are faith in great service

Nice relaxed atmosphere and a good place to chill out and relax

Dunno, never been, but Google insists I have and won't stop asking for a review so here it is.... 5 stars all the way, support local business lol

Brilliant breakfast. Very busy but in a great way. Lovely atmosphere.

Iced coffee was basically milk… had to ask for another shot of coffee but still tasted weak! Chocolate sauce was made with anything else but chocolate… the strangest taste ever… like synthetic brown gloop. Nice place, deserves better food.

Welcoming atmosphere into a very large 2 storey restaurant/lounge/bar, offering a choice of regular, vegan & vegetarian menus. The morning started with coffee but sadly it’s not the best quality, quite weak with a touch of smoke. Light lunch of half a tuna melt ciabatta with pea & mint soup in a mug. The ciabatta was soggy beneath & overflowing with filling, wet to hold, the soup was too thick to be in a mug & it felt uncomfortable using the big soup spoon to access it this way. Being honest the soup was ok although it had been microwaved & was far too hot where as the mug was normal in temperature. Ordering by QR code on the table or by standing at the bar; food & drinks are brought to the table. Menu is huge and far too much on offer to make a choice and to ensure quality of every item. Nothing was memorable here apart from the walls of art decor but it is very popular, so I can clearly see it suits a lot of people

Great food, great staff and great atmosphere. The whole team made us feel really welcome.

Discovered this lovely cosy place recently so popped in for a drink. The best greeting and service that we’ve had in a long time . Shall definitely be a regular from now on. Am going back today for that cosy hug 🤗 feeling ♥️

I would say that it is one of the best places in Ringwood. Nice food, good prices, friendly service. My favourite is Chicken,Bacon, avocado salad:) I wish you had more desserts.

Went on a busy Saturday, despite a queue out the door we were sat quickly and servers were really friendly. Food was good, great service.

It's ok but service is very slow

Very good classic English Breakfast. It was my first time eating such a popular dish all over the world, in the heart of its origins, in England. Very nice service and understanding for tourists 🤣 I recommend :)

Stumbled upon the lounge unexpectedly when the place we were planning to go to for breakfast was full, we were not disappointed. Friendly and efficient service, tasty food and a really nice atmosphere. So impressed that we will be making this our new regular place to eat on visits to Ringwood.

It was heaving when we visited on Saturday morning for brunch. The food was good and the service prompt.

Busy and buzzy. Great attentive service. Something for everyone on the menu. Dog friendly.

Great atmosphere, with huge choice of delicious food! Very friendly staff! Highly recommend! 😋

Had a really nice evening here tonight. Really lovely menu, so much choice and very affordable. Staff were lovely. There was some confusion as to whether we could order from the Christmas menu or not, and the staff resolved it so nicely. Thank you. Definitely returning.

This is a great place where you can get quality food without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is unique and inviting, without being super loud. Great place to go for a date!

Regular early morning user , friendly guys n gals staff 😀 , efficient , good wi fi , and my oat latte 👍🏼…recommended ….Derrick😇

We were in Ringwood which we are not familiar with and were looking for somewhere to have lunch. We came across Arboro Lounge by chance and thought we would try it. It was a surprise when we went in as it was nothing like we expected! We received a warm welcome and as downstairs was full up we were able to find a table upstairs. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed the quirky relaxed atmosphere.

We come here regularly, at least a couple of times a month. It’s good value, service is always friendly and efficient. We like the chips, butties and/or tapas. It’s always clean and we’ve never had to wait too long for our drinks or food. The burgers are good too. We will definitely keep coming back for more!

The food was great and it was nice to be able to order from the table, which I might add were all a good separation from one another so it felt spacious. If you are ordering online at the table though the qr codes don't all work so you may have to just pop it into Google.

Nice place to meet up, good service, busy/lively and open until late

Perfect winter lunch in Ringwood.

Chose a Lounge for a family meet-up as location was convenient and, well you can't go wrong with a Lounge can you? We had to wait for a table as it was Sunday morning peak brunch time although it quietened down while we were there. Ordered via the app at the table which works fine and food and drinks arrived promptly. Incredibly noisy, with maybe only one or two tables where you might find it a bit quieter. Not good for noise-sensitive people or anyone wanting a quiet conversation.

I went with a friend for breakfast. It wasn’t overly busy when we arrived. We were greeted at the door and asked of any dietary needs. We were then told to find a table and order at the bar. I ordered the lounge breakfast and my friend the breakfast muffin. We both ordered coffees. The coffees took a long time to arrive and the waiter apologised for the delay. It was some time later when the food arrived. I glanced at my plate and noted that the sausage was still pale on one side. I felt the temperature with my finger and it was barely warm. I mentioned this at the time and the waiter asked if everything else was ok. I explained, that as I had not started to eat the meal, I wouldn’t know. As suspected the whole thing was warm at best. The egg was also undercooked and the uncooked white was slimy. The waiter offered to “heat it up”. As reheating the food sounded like a disgusting offer, I would have asked for a fresh meal, but given the waiting time, this want an option., my friend ( who had paid for the meal) complained. We were told by the manager , that as it was very busy, wait times would be longer. I said that I accept that, but would expect that the food to be hot on arrival and not having been obviously sat around. The manager offered half of the bill cost back and said he hoped next time we would find it better. I informed him that there wouldn’t be a next time.

Awesome staff, separate Gluten Free menu, nice food, brilliant atmosphere. Tapas Boards a big hit, definitely recommend the lamb Kofta kebabs

Nice place and good atmosphere! I recommend.

Great service, with birthday candle for my wife’s cake & Latte. Fun and enjoyable. Thanks for the amazing service by Ed 😊

Always lovely food and the staff are always very nice

Great lively atmosphere, staff friendly and food lovely a good selection for vegetarian/ vegan.

Love these lounge chains, always easy to get seated and the food is great

Lovely place, excellent food , service and atmosphere

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Brilliant quiz nights!

Awesome place. Very friendly staff. Good times.

Shortage of staff so cut the visit short.

Food was rally nice thank you all! Fantastic customer service.

Friendly staff, excellent gluten free / dairy free / vegan options. I find it a very reliable option for good gluten free food, it’s novel to have so many choices. Very baby / kid friendly with plenty of room for your buggy by the table.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Only popped in for take away coffee and use facilities, staff very helpful and kind.

Good food, friendly staff and reasonable pricing.

Stopped for a coffee. Nice place. Like many Loungers. Mezzanine floor looked good. No rating on food as didn't eat on this visit

Popped in for a bite to eat, the food was adequate but small portions for the money. Service was ok but it wasn't particularly busy. Not much atmosphere but to be fair it was empty on a wet Thursday afternoon.

The staff is very friendly there. We went there around 16:00 - off peak time, but the food quality was still good. As an Asian who has tried different versions of Malaysian/Indonesian food in the UK, most of the dishes looked and tasted very different from the original version. Most of time I left the restaurants with disappointment. The Nasi Goreng offered by this place looked also quite different, however the altered version tasted amazing! A bit liked egg fired rice, the lightly grilled prawns, the sweet chill source (tasted a bit Korean). I enjoyed the dish so much, at one point of eating, I was even considering to order one to take home! Very happy with this dish! A good surprise to conclude our short holiday!

Stopped for a spot of lunch. Was very nice. Had the chicken, bacon and avocado burger was amazing. Staff extremely friendly. Can't say much about atmosphere as its was very quite.

Popped in on our way back from Devon. Children's burgers a bit soggy, water was dripping down my arm. But the lights were outstanding! In a 3d star shape, unfortunately the toilet paper in the men's toilets wouldn't come out! Nice kind staff and nice toys and nice building. Presentation of the ketchup was surprising!

Really lovely evening with tasty food and fab service from all the team. They were polite and courteous and we were very impressed with the care and attention for the person in our party who had an allergy. highly recommend.

We come here every Saturday morning for breakfast my family and I. Bringing children also. I cannot praise this place enough. The food is amazing and when something is wrong they are so quick to fix it. The staff are fantastic and always polite. This along with the brilliant atmosphere is why we come back every week. Thank you Arboro. I highly recommend the freshly squeezed orange juice and the berry pancakes! So good!

Great service to the table and a brilliant vegan menu. Superb 😄

Great place, brilliant food and service

Normally like coming here however today we ordered and only 1 meal came to the table, They completely forgot the other meal and we had to ask for it and it only arrived after I had already finished eating. The food was also overcooked and then left to go cold so it was extremely tough. No sign of real apology or effort to right the wrong, seems like it's gone down hill.

Relaxed dining, from a national chain. A large variety of dishes, at reasonable prices.

Stopped off in Ringwood en route to Devon. It was late, we were tired, and we have a dog. We couldn’t believe our lucky stars when we stumbled upon Arboro Lounge who serve food until 10pm and welcomed our dog inside the restaurant. The staff were warm and welcoming and the menu had a great selection at a very reasonable price. I had the Buddha Bowl which was absolutely delicious and our son had the buttermilk chicken which he thoroughly enjoyed. The iced coffee was also delicious and I loved the creamy foam on the top. Well done guys. Ten out of ten from us.

A real gem in Ringwood! Tapas 👌 to die for 😋 Friendly staff. Fab location! Reasonable prices for amazing food! 👏

Love this place. Seems comforting and friendly. Food is tasty!

Food was okay. However, buyer beware £6.15 for 3 halloumi fries.

Food is always good here. Great staff, so friendly and great with my little one 😀 My daughter likes the milkshakes here, and Ed makes a great hot chocolate!

Have eaten here for months at the weekend,food is good and the staff are friendly and helpful.Good atmosphere,would recommend to anyone.Very much worth a visit.

Great food at decent value, I had the Nasi Goreng which was great, Brixton pale ale fantastic with it. My wife's was just as good. Friendly chaps serving. I know it's a chain, but it's a good chain

One of the nicer Lounges I've been to (though they're all pretty nice). Really spacious, cool interior and friendly staff

Reasonable prices, was a bit quiet when I went in, so dropped a star on atmosphere

Very basic restaurant with no atmosphere. Food arrived fairly quickly but my burger, fries and onion rings were barely warm. Wasn't terrible but I'm not rushing back. Also, I'm very weary of restaurants where you have to pay before you eat and this one of them. Very difficult to complain when you've already paid.

I have a carabean curry here with Garlic flatbread (which is not on the menu) when i've eaten this in other lounges i get a round garlic flatbread. Here in ringwood i get half a flatbreat but into two peices and its more like toast than flatbread. The beef brisket chilli ive had is usually covered in oil, way too oily, however the food is generally ok and good value in the lounges for what it is, i just think a total change of staff and management is needed here in Ringwood as when ive complained, they havent put it right but just given me excuses. My family like coming here so i expect we'll come again, but they need to be more customer attentive. Food does aleays taste good hence the 3. Update: went back today and my wife ordered the carribean chicken curry. As she was eating it she realised there was no chicken in it and when letting the staff know they said ' oh i don't know, maybe chef is tired and you might get lucky next time' i was appauled, sadly my wife doesn't allow me to sort it out, but i can assure you we wont be going back.

We went as a group to Aboro lounge, Ringwood. Although the venue seemed very quiet for a Saturday night our experience overall was good. In particular I'd like to give a shout out to Ed behind the bar who was very friendly and approachable.

Came over for dinner on Sunday about 5.30pm and a nice laid back atmosphere. Really pleasant team, fast service and run efficiently. We tried the bang bang cauliflower dish and the beef brisket chilli. Both flavoursome and delicious, definitely recommend. It's a bit of a drive from where we live but we have always been really happy at the arboro lounge.

Had the Eldeflower spritzer which was lovely and staff are always friendly.

We went here to celebrate my granddad's 90th birthday... we weren't able to book a table without a deposit so we turned up hopeful... it was pretty busy. Sienna (I think) was so friendly and accommodating, she was on top of who would be leaving soon and the table was cleared and set within minutes of the previous occupants vacating their seats. This was super helpful as we'd brought decorations for the table, as well as a birthday cake (which they diligently checked for traces of nuts- they have a no nut policy and we were happy to oblige). When she brought the cake out at the end she also offered my granddad another coffee on the house which was a very nice touch. We've visited before but this visit stood out due to Sienna's fabulous customer service. Thank you 😊

Delicious food, fun environment great staff ..all the reasons to visit .

Good food and friendly staff, recommend the Monday night quiz.

Great atmosphere, warm and cosy on a cold day. We enjoy the breakfast and tapas menu which are served all day. The service can be a bit slow and no table service.

Good for an informal lunch, staff were friendly but we ordered on the app so not a lot of interaction with them. Service was timely, but not overly fast.

Food is lovely. Shame you have to order from the app or walk down to the bar instead of table service

Friendly staff. Inclusive atmosphere. Great coffee. Comfortable seats.

Lovely place to eat or drink. Beautiful beef brisket chilli, this was our second time as we had it as a taster on a 3 deal tapas.

We visit the ringwood branch often ..A gem of a place the staff are aways first class the service is second to none and the food is always delicious ...though the size portion of the fies is very small for the price ..

Had drinks with a friend, a brilliant atmosphere as usual, quiz night too!!

Visited just after opening on Friday morning. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Had the fried breakfast, all seemed ingredients good quality. Well presented and hot when delivered to the table. Only 4 stars for atmosphere as it was early and reasonably quiet first thing.

Super chilled-out dog friendly venue with super service from outstanding hosts, food was absolutely delicious (Caribbean Curry) Banoffee cheesecake was quite possibly the best cheesecake I have ever had. Washrooms spotless, all in all a terrific place to wine and dine offering value for money for such tasty and varied dishes.

A quick bite to eat and drink, very pleasant afternoon.

I would recommend the halloumi fries. Great place for a drink

Top class food and drink, great atmosphere and dog friendly

Just looking for a lunchtime bowl of soup and Arboro came up with the goods. Some very tasty thick pea and something soup with a ciabatta roll. Excellent value at £5.75.

Really friendly staff and great food. Plenty of room for pushchairs and breastfeeding friendly.

Great food reasonably priced and a really fun Salsa class!

I went there with friends and family. The service was excellent, food was excellent. And the atmosphere was buzzing. I had a fabulous birthday meal.

First visit to Arboro, having visited most local lounges. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Clean and tidy.

Love this place. The food is excellent and the staff really friendly, welcoming and helpful

Service was reasonably quick , staff pleasant. Food could have been hotter but was tasty and as described on the menu . No wow factor and felt a good clean wouldn't go amiss . Sticky table and all those lights need a very good clean

We had a great late lunch/early dinner here. Staff was lovely and helpful. The atmosphere was great. The food was very very tasty.

A good option for a group, food was nice and service was good. I would use again

Walked in and was hit by an overwhelming strong smell of fish which a member of staff said they couldn't smell. Couldn't possibly eat breakfast with such a smell so we left.

Total disarray on 15th sept. Piles and piles of used crockery on bar, staff chatting to mates, I didn't get served so went elsewhere. The other branches in southbourne, winton and Christchurch always have good customer service. Shame the staff here don't. Won't return.

Pretty good, friendly, good food, and reasonably priced.

Met family here for breakfast. Great food and friendly staff. Would recommend

Beautiful place for breakfast easy parking nearby

We do like visiting a Lounge and popped into the Arboro for an evening meal while on holiday. The food was delicious and arrived quickly, staff were friendly, we could not have asked for any better.

Fantastic time at the family new year's eve party. Thank you!

Visiting the family, nice to have a vegan menu and be dog friendly. Attentive staff, certainly recommend. Is Ringwood becoming less crusty...

Always lovely food, and friendly staff.
