Costa Coffee in New Forest

We let them cook, and cook they did

Very few restaurants opened that day. We enter half the room closed. We order, they don't warn us that in the children's menu there is already a bottle of water and that we should not take it from self-service. U poor sandwich for the children's menu with really bad food! Nothing was top notch 20min service. 55€ for 2 children's menus and 2 adult dishes with a bottle of water and a dessert

I live locally so have visited before, taking various friends and family as the setting is so pretty and the walk from Beaulieu a pleasant way to work up an appetite. I've never found the pub at the Master Builders to be anything other than expensive, sometimes grubby, with a very limited menu and overall a not very customer focussed experience, but I've never got round to reviewing before. And always hoped it might improve! But enough is enough.....today we ordered the tomato bruschetta , which, for 10 quid, one might have thought would be a teensy bit more interesting than a chopped tomato on a piece of dried toast. ONE piece of toast...an uninspired tomato...no hint of the promised balsamic dressing that I could discern..no apparent olive oil rubbed into toast. Awful. Eat here if you are on a diet and want to feel ripped off. Better to take a picnic and sit on the tables down by the river. This pub leaves a sour taste and treats customers like idiots.

The worst fish and chips that I have ever has the misfortune to buy. They went straight into the bin. I will never buy their crap again,.

Closed Permanently Now. Wasn't doing the Bussness "
