Brewers Fayre Three Bells in New Forest

Can't believe our local is closing. There is nowhere else to go that doesn't require driving. Such a shame. Its always busy there and the food is very good.

Great food for the money . Shame its closing down 4th July !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is Whitbread shutting this venue ,, obviously clueless upper management who don't know how to make profit from a rich New Forest village .

Lovely peaceful location. Food is consistently good and decent value. Great service from all the staff, especially Olivia and Zoe who are both very cheerful and efficient. I first visited nearly 20 years ago and it was quite poor then, so I avoided it until more recently when I thought I would give it another go. So glad I did! It's been really great for the last couple of years. As well as the excellent overall experience, I really appreciate the attention to detail. The tables and cutlery and toilets are always spotlessly clean when I visit. I know you should expect that, but it's not always the case in other similar restaurants.

Found the staff very friendly and helpful small site but has character. Great food which was very reasonably prices, cream egg sundae was very enjoyable

We visited due to staying in the area. The service was lovely and good from the waitress. The sunday dinner was okay, good portions, the fish and chips were really nice. The creme egg sundae was delicious too. What lets this restaurant down is the tiredness of the fittings, table really scratched, toilets smelled of mould. It would be a really nice place if was refurbished in a few areas.

Me and my family came here to celebrate my nans birthday. A few of us staying in the joined hotel. It's a nice pub. Spacious yet intimate. The food is about the standard you expect. Everything we ate over the 2 days came as it should. I was a little underwhelmed by the portions of the "cheeseburger" and chilli fries. Having paid the extra for a large portion. I was expecting more, even just more fries, rather than the toppings. But I imagine this isn't the chefs. But the specifications guide set by the company. The staff were great. Friendly, professional and put up with our large group (we did get a bit loud). I would definitely like to give Zoe, who served us for the most part a big commendation. She tended to us fantastically.

Great venue and great food we had some picky eaters and some vegetarians with us and they were very well catered for, we will be returning and highly recommend this venue to everyone

Great spot for a family dinner. Friendly staff, food was excellent and reasonably priced. Recommended and would definitely return.

Only went in for a quick coffee break whilst on a walk of the forest. Lovely and quiet little pub...

Came in over the christmas period and was amazed by the variety on the festive menu! Even for gluten free people like myself! Me and my family were served by Olivia and she was very helpful and friendly and provided a great service leaving us very pleased with our experience.

Unfortunately we didn’t have a great experience. First we ordered from the new festive chockatina cocktail menu then told they’d ran out of all of the festive cocktails.. then when ordering food the wrong items were brought out, there was a lot of oil in the extra onion rings. In general disappointing, as we were staying next door in the premier inn we were told bar closes at 11:00 we arrived at 10:25 on a Saturday night and told the tills we’re closed and couldn’t have any drinks. Again very disappointing. I feel that if it wasn’t for the trapped patrons from the premier inn this pub would be closed permanently. Unfortunately I will be avoiding brewers fayre pubs as I feel there’s an imbalance of customer care, especially as people staying in a premier inn are the only reason it’s surviving.

Great service from Olivia. She was very helpful and although it was busy she made sure we were accommodated well and always had a smile on her face.

We are here on a regular basis and Olivia is always cheerful and helpful the service is always very good

I noticed this one particular girl named Olivia who delivered outstanding friendly service, she was very good in making sure that everything was okay and well. Olivia needs a gold star!

I was very pleased with the blonde girl Olivia, she was very helpful and provided great service, she was very efficient and managed to keep a smile on her face

the service was excellent from my lovely waitress olivia. The food was great and i had a wonderful experience with eating the food alongside the great service that i received.

Had been several times before, no problems, today was differen Ordered Cheese and Onion pie. Pastry was like hard cardboard. Offered steak knife to cut it! Declined. Ordered burger instead, this not quite bad enough to send back. One side overcooked a d toug Coleslaw accompanying was a Disgrace contained two uncut pieces of cabbage 2ins by 1 inch. Waited so long for bill had to go rto bar to pay despite restaurant being almost empty. Received half hearted apology

Went out for a family meal, the food was very good, the staff were very friendly and helpful, will definitely be going there again

It’s brewers Fayre so you get what you pay for. New menu is nice but not inspiring. Can’t fault the service so all credit to the team that were working.

Only popped in to use the WiFi and have a coffee for work. Easy to use and set up. It was quiet when I went in so perfect

We booked this last minute for a family of 7. We arrived and the restaurant was empty. We got sat at the first table which was near the doors and there were flies everywhere, we asked to move and they moved us to a big...

Came across Brewers Fayre, what a bargain find. Special offers on lunch menu, good portions. Returned for breakfast few days later. Same great standard, excellent service. Two things stand out 1) The staff are excellent & attentive, nothing to much trouble. 2) The place definitely...

Been here many times before and the food is as good as ever, better if anything with new dishes. Bit disappointed in the state of the restaurant however as it needs a complete re-vamp to bring it back to its former standard. Decor is looking...

We all enjoyed dinner on three nights, whilst staying at The Premier Travel Inn for The New Forest Show. The food was good and the staff were flexible and efficient - we all sat together but arrived to eat at different times which didn't pose...

Just 2 miles away from out holiday home. A friendly budget pub with an attached premier inn. We chose the pub and pie night. I had a trio: beef & ale, minted lamb, chicken tikka. The first two were excellent, the chicken tikka pie good,...

Had a table booked for 1pm and served by David and Liv? Brilliant service and wonderful food. Even with a double allergy to make it even harder. Thank you

It’s a nice surprise to see the place busy again. All credit to the guys that were on lunch looked like they were having fun. Food was really good and the price isn’t stupid

Came here on a busy friday night and was happily surprised with the service and quality of food. Me, my husband and 2 kids ordered with a lovely young man, Dan, who made the evening very enjoyable. Starters came out very quickly and the mains...

The Buffet in the morning was delicious other than one of the staff smashing a glass. Things happen!

Only popped in as my two locals were very busy and had no space. Food is cooked to order which is no drama just takes a while if busy. Food was hot and good price so will be back

We were staying in the Premier Inn next door, which is connected by an internal door. The food was delicious with generous sized portions. Nothing was too much trouble and our waitress, Chelsea, was particularly helpful with menu choices. She was very engaging, and really...

My wife and I have been to Premier Inns throughout the country over many years. We tend to eat on the first night in the restaurant attached to the Inn because after driving for some time to get there we want to relax and not...

Lovely location in the new forest. Great atmosphere & service (especially from ben behind the bar). Would highly recommend a visit.

Great pub & still good value for money . Bar staff very friendly & provide good customer service , especially Ben who was working on my visit.

Great bar staff, great food, great company. Ben, Claire and Dan make a great team in the evening. Will be coming back.

Lovely pub, great company. The staff behind the bar are great. Restaurant and food is superb. Thank you

We arrived after 6pm when the cut off is for the cheaper meals but the staff were happy to let us still order from the meal deal menu which was really nice of them. The food itself was really tasty, I had a cheeseburger which...

Was sent a voucher for Saturday only and thought why not. The place was busy and full but the food and service was brilliant. If I lived closer I’d probably come more often but the vouchers help

Attended last night for Pie night (this was advertised within the pub on at least 2 electronic advertising boards). Pies were available but the offer was not. Waiter did his best but team leader did not make the effort to discuss it with us. We...

This pub is a great place to visit the food is always very good and very reasonably priced also it is quick no waiting around for food. All the staff are so friendly and helpfull and look after us oldies very well. Thanks again we...

Stopped in for some food and was amazed at the attentiveness of the team they couldn't do more to help me. They were also very good at explaining there allergen cycle to me so I could understand. Food was spot on and the beer was...

What can I say except THANK YOU! Myself and a few friends always leave our “Christmas meet up” till after December to let the hustle and bustle die down and we decided to give this place a try. From the moment we came in (a...

Great food and overall Great experience. Would definitely recommended to everyone. Came across it by chance and will definitely be back.

Arrived at the Restaurant and was shown to a very comfortable seat. Chelsea came over and explained the set up as we were staying at the attached Premier Inn. Chelsea looked after us really well, a great balance of letting us have time to mull...

The staff were welcoming and warm. The food was spot on and reasonably priced. The whole place was clean with a lovely n atmosphere. Will definitely return.

We called in for coffees. The coffees were decent as was the speed of service. However the venue was in need of a thorough clean - including the tables being sticky with beer rings and the chairs filthy. Very poor Staff were present but were...

Bearing in mind it’s half term and only Tuesday disappointed by so many drinks / food not available! Couldn’t even provide teaspoon for child’s desert , full size desert spoon . When checking the bill realised we had been overcharged. Mentioned to the waitress who...

We were staying at the adjoining Premier Inn so booked a table for dinner but the restaurant had a horrible smell and the bar even worse! The bar couldn’t have been less inviting - very few tables / seats and full of locals in vests...

As you walk towards the building the view of decay sets in ….. scruffy, paint peeling off, grubby, smelly ……. Full refurbishment needed or a bulldozer REALLY REALLY REALLY WANTED TO LEAVE but couldn’t as the elderly family member with us who because of the...

We had roast beef with all the trimmings, a lovely meal and staff were friendly. The pub itself needs redecorating and windows replaced.

We came to the three bells for our sons 3rd birthday it was great the staff are super friendly nothing is to much trouble and the food was tasty and good portions we are really looking forward to our next visit

First impressions are so important and this BF did not disappoint. There were two guys in particular, one at meet & greet and both working the bar; they made this visit for us. They were highly professional without being 'corporate' and really friendly. They looked...

We had the dubious privilege of visiting this establishment for lunch today, and were struck with how uninspiring the place looks from the outside, tired and peeling paint and generally tatty, this continued inside, had we not booked in advance it is likely we would...

Since the new manager Liam has taken over things have come on tremendously. Food is excellent. Service is excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming. Whether your visit is for a business lunch or just with family/friends can thoroughly recomend it. Both the food and drinks are...

All staff are fantastic and very welcoming. The manger is very friendly and will go out of his way to help you up. Liam is the best manager to date.

We stood at the desk and a lady behind the bar asked if we wanted a table and continued what she was doing. After a while she came over and said that they were full, I could see lots of empty tables in the restaurant...

Meal was ok fish was lovely only about 12 chips asked for mushy peas told only garden peas asked for tartar sauce which is advertised with it sorry out of it. No tartar sauce on a Friday with fish!!! Disgraceful. Very mediocre gammon was very...

I used to visit Hordle a lot as a child in the 80s and was excited to be revisiting this year. HOW DISAPPOINTING! The Three Bells used to be a charming village pub with beams and horseshoes. Now it’s been stripped of all its character...

Wow, what can I say, Cara and Emma couldn't have done enough, we were greeted with smiles and great instructions, first morning we were sat in the back part very nice but had difficulty getting up from my seat, but full selection from the continental...

We visit The Three Bells quite often, and really love the friendly atmosphere and Great food. The staff can't do enough for you. Luke has been there awhile and is always kind, helpful and friendly. We go for Birthdays, Mothers and Fathers day. Or just...

A wonderful evening meal to celebrate a family member's birthday! Such friendly and welcoming staff!

6 of us went for an evening meal and all meals were well prepared and hot. Chef even produced fish pie without peas( don't ask!). The server was Cara who smiled, was helpful and professional.

Went for dinner, sat in the bar as we had our dog with us. I have to say it was the worst meal out we have ever had. I had Macaroni Cheese and my friend had the Smothered Platter. Both meals were awful. Neither of...

We have been many times before, and the food is always great. Today was no exception, all of the food was lovely! We had a fairly large party of people and we had a nice comfortable table that was perfectly suited for our needs. Best...

We had a elicious breakfast, served by Jenny who looked after us very well. Good choice for vegetarians. We will be back!

I came in for breakfast last Thursday. Had great service from a waitress named Emma and had lovely food. Will definitely be back again 😊😊.

Went for a family meal out. We had visited here before and weren't disappointed so we came again. On this occasion we were served by Cara. Cara was professional and attentive to our needs, but also had a relaxed and friendly approach. The food was nice and thanks to Cara we enjoyed our visit. We will be back again.

A relaxing and friendly atmosphere with good value food. Ordered the Haddock and chips which was beautifully cooked and lovely white fish. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Just finished another excellent lunch with friends This is our third this month and the service and quality of food is wonderful .Emma served us and we couldnt be more impressed .We will be back in soon

I came in Tuesday evening and had a lovely evening with my friend. We both enjoyed our food and had great service by the lady who served us didn't catch her name but she had brown hair and was wearing glasses. 😊

We had breakfast here 3 days’ running. The waitresses, Emma and Katie, provided excellent service. They were so helpful, friendly and efficient.

We were served by lovely friendly helpful staff Jenny Emma and Cara. Food was very good and excellent value for money. We will definitely be returning. Nothing was too much trouble and a very pleasant experience.

Regulars here as it's our local and the food is always great value. Join the Bonus Club for loads of freebies, including wine, and it's even better value. It's not high end food, but perfectly acceptable. Our waiter, Luke, was very attentive and is a real asset to the pub.

I ordered chilli non carne. It looked very unappetizing and didn't have, what I would have thought was a main ingredient, kidney beans in it. Also the chilli was a raw chilli pepper slice on the top. most disappointing.The next time we went we ordered a chicken and bacon caesar salad which was fine but the croutons were stale! on both occasions after pointing these out to the waitress the response was - oh, sorry about that!

Great meal at unbeatable low price. Join their bonus card system and get even more great value. Don't know how they do it🍻😀

Super friendly and efficient service, we were served by cara and she was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble at all, the food was piping hot and arrived very quickly.

Outstanding food & service as usual. Our server was Cara & she was very friendly & attentive. Never had a bad experience at 3 bells. Would highly recommend 👍

Stayed for 4 nights and would thoroughly recommend- staff in restaurant and Premier were excellent. Special mention to Cara in the restaurant!!

We had a lovely evening with your wonderful food and exceptional customer service. There was a friendly bar staff named Chloe who is very helpful and funny, she helped us decide our order giving great recommendations, could not recommend this pub enough!!

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Hordle, I popped out for lunch with my friend for a nice catch up after all this nasty covid, and we decided to come to The Three Bells as it’s close to me and had been hearing all good things about how nice it is in there, and they weren’t wrong! The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience, we were served by 2 lovely women Chloe and Emma, and they both made our afternoon! The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted was yumm! Absolutely the best meal we had in a while. Highly recommend

Went here with my partner and two friends for a meal Saturday evening, guy showed us to a table that hadn’t been cleaned properly, pub including restaurant very quiet. Ordered food, I had the smothered chicken which I paid the £1.99 to upgrade to £11.98. It arrived burnt on the bottom of the two butterflied pieces of chicken (you actually only get half a chicken breast unless you upgrade as they butterfly it to make it go further, Somerville £9.99 for half a chicken breast(two pieces of tomato some wilted leaves cheap skin on frozen chips and a dollop of coleslaw from a jar!)At no point did any staff member check to see if we were enjoying our meal. After spending close to £75 with them including drinks we paid for our food and went to sit in the main pub, there were a lot of little children there in the bar area despite it being after 10 pm and they have a small wall mounted couch with two small tables and a larger table with tall stool chairs, all taken. That is all the normal seating they have in the pub. Outside seating area was wet due to earlier rain so we attempted to return to a table in the empty restaurant only to be told that we weren’t allowed to sit there. We ended up sitting outside on damp seats as that was the only place available.The only saving grace was the friendly and polite young server who took our bills.

Had a wonderful meal here Thursday evening, great service, cheerful lady behind the bar. Would definitely recommend!

Brewers fayre is just the best brand. Cheap, cheerful, kid friendly and you just have to bring the family. The floor should be made of crayons and the curtains should be liquid ice cream, you can't beat this brand for bringing the family out. This place though, is next level. You absolutely must have some banter with James, the guy is just something else. His next level wit and elongated banter alone is worth a visit. Will be back!

We had a lovely meal three of us had the steak all said cooked well the little girl enjoyed her meal as did I our local great

It started badly. Waited for around 10 minutes for the attention of staff who were chatting amongst themselves. When we did get served the staff were not at all friendly. The toilets were absolutely disgusting. In fact the whole place was pretty tired and dirty. But it was great to see that a man came in to fit new flooring behind the bar at around 9.30pm when the place was still open. He was using an Impact Screwdriver which are extremely noisy. This went on for some half an hour. He then prepared to put a screed down, but one of the bar staff tripped on the screed bucket full of water and spilt it everywhere. No problem, the floor man dried it up and got another bucket of water and proceeded to mix the screed with an electric drill. Not quite as noisy as the Impact Driver! Followed by laying the screed on the wet plywood floor. Moments later, the same buffoon bar steward walked over the screed. I have to say the entertainment was fantastic. We were crying with laughter at the comic scene. As we left we followed the screed footprints across the carpet all the way outside to the rear doors of the flooring man’s van!!!

We were staying in the adjoining Premier Inn for my 50th Birthday. We booked via the Brewers Fayre website both nights for dinner. We didn't have breakfast either day as we had full days planned and ate while out. Both nights we enjoyed a quiet meal and the food was excellent. We usually have a teenager with us so we often eat at Brewers Fayre as he loves a burger. Enough choice to have us pondering what to have both nights and I enjoyed a couple of cocktails too. If you want something very posh al la carte style then not for you. We loved our food and was glad we could have a few drinks without having to drive. Service was excellent and Ollie, Luke and Maisie all deserve a mention. We look forward to returning to both the Premier Inn and the Brewers Fayre again in the future. Thank you for making my 50th memorable. Mel and Steve Wellbelove

As regular visitors to the Three Bells we appreciate the friendly and courteous staff and the well cooked and presented meals. Would like to commend Luke, Ben, Chloe and Oliver for their helpfulness.

Awesome meal as usual... lovely staff as usual... did all the covid safety so we all felt safe... our waiter Luke was very friendly & very attentive

We have been to this restaurant before COVID and was not disappointed with all the efforts put in place to keep customers reassured and within the current restrictions. Chloe was friendly and welcoming and ensured our visit was nothing short of perfect. Thank you everyone.

Excellent service - thanks Darrol. Very nice meal and good value. Social distancing taken very seriously.

Had a lovely meal with a group of friends. Chloe looked after us and allowed us to use our BlueLightCard to get 25% discount. We will definitely use again next time we visit the area on holiday, nothing was too much trouble, thank you

Had evening meal and breakfast the next day. A good offer if you are staying in the premier inn next door. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The foodwas hot, freshly cooked and nicely presented.

Seeing how this establishment has suffered over the last 18 months they are working hard to regain their excellent pre-Covid reputation The 3 Bells is worth a visit. Food is good and staff as usual more than helpful and pleasant

Stayed at the Premier Inn next door and paid for the Meal Deal (Evening meal and breakfast) whereas the breakfast was good offering either a continental or full English served at your table the evening meal was poor. Admittedly they had only been opened for inside service for a week when we visited so the menu was not extensive, however the choice we had was not good. We started off with the classic Prawn Cocktail which was tasteless. Even worse it was served with a slice of white processed stodgy bread which had obviously just been pulled from a packet of budget sliced bread. Hoping for a better main I asked for the Chicken Forestier which was chicken breast on a bed of potato and onion mash and covered in a mushroom sauce. This meal again was bland and the mashed potato was reconstituted with some onion thrown in for good measure. My husband had the steak pie, again with the reconstituted mash and french beans which were hard and cold. With regard to cleaning, the restaurant looked tired and could have done with a lick of paint. There was dust on the tables feet and although the tables were sanitised after customers had left and you were asked to take your drinks off a tray etc the backs of the chairs were not wiped down even though you have to grab the back of a chair to pull it out from the table. I was not impressed by this establishment ..........

Very good food good portions and reasonably priced. Service good .Wine fair price. Highly recommended.

Welcoming, friendly & very helpful staff. Spotlessly clean, comprehensive COVID precautions throughout and making sure everyone adhered to them in a positive way. A great selection of food to choose from the menu, didn’t have to wait long and cooked exactly (steaks) how they were requested. Will definitely be returning soon. Well done to Chloe and the other staff, hard working in these testing times!

Chloe,Katie and Ollie are excellent bar staff always professional and very welcoming definitely deserve a payrise

Choice of cooked or continental breakfast, both delicious and fresh. Dinners too were tasty and a good choice.

We always enjoy going to the 3 Bells. Good quality food for a good price. We go regularly. Would recommend.
