Gleneagles in New Forest

A big thankyou to the team at the Glen Eagles pub for accomodating 22 of us for dinner yesterday. The food was excellent as was the service.

Went here with a group of 8 for food and was not expecting much to be honest so thought I would play it safe and order sausage and mash, how can that go wrong? Well, it still was not great. Served in a Yorkshire pudding that was crispy to say the least, thin mash that lacked flavour, hard peas and gravy with again no flavour. Sausages were decent enough to be fair. Such a shame though as with just a touch more effort a dish like this is so easy to get spot on. Service was good though, and it is a nice pub but they really should just up their game on the food.

We’ve just moved to the area and was looking for a family restaurant for our 3 children and come across The Glen. When we turned up we felt so intimidated almost immediately. So decided to choose a table outside so the kids can play and to break the atmosphere of feeling uncomfortable. The play park is falling apart!!! How can you let kids play on that?! Manky carpet on the floor that was soaked and stunk of mould throughout the park, broken wood, broken slide! Definitely unsafe for anyone. We looked at the menu and felt that unwelcome we put the menus on a table and ran out - we did run too! Won’t be back at all, even if someone invited us.. we would pull a sicky it’s that awful. Sort it out, the outside is nothing like your photos you’ve posted on here.

Just been to The Glen at what a fantastic place. We all had food and it was all good. Nice and hot and tasty. All our children were welcomed and had a great time in the playground. Service was prompt and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this pub if you want a good meal and a good atmosphere. We will be coming back again.

We came to the glen for some food and drinks after travelling from the midlands and staying near by. First impressions weren’t great, as we were greater security staff.. we had booked a table inside and was greeted by a man who said just sit anywhere and download a app to order, all fine. The service was slow and seemed that the staff were mostly young and had little customer service skills, nobody asked how our food was and we when given the food told to enjoy. Also when ordering on the app each order has a 10P service change.. not really sure why? We felt really intimidated and all eyes on us when ever we moved in the pub, to the point we ate and left. If you want a nice relaxing meal in a nice setting this isn’t the place, perhaps it’s just cause it was a Friday evening. Lots of young customer and young staff, very loud and rowdy, the security staff are obviously needed.

I visited the Glen with my wife and Child all started well with quick service but soon went down hill when our food was an extremely long time and when questioned the staff were very rude and blunt myself and my family felt unwelcome I definitely would not visit again

Place is full of reprobates, never have I been punched so softly and so many times by a bunch of drug dealing chavs. The manager has no control of the place or people don’t take your family here! Another time there’s lads listening to grime on a speaker in the corner intimidating the elderly Zero COVID restrictions are enforced to their mates I wish I could rate it lower

I popped in after a dog walk on the forest for a bit of lunch. A nice pub not far from home but I have to say they've really upped their game since reopening. The outdoor seating area is brilliant. Covered from rain, plenty of tables, heaters at the ready and well organised. The lady who served me, Jess, was efficient and lovely. Really on the ball. I had a chicken escalope for lunch & it was also really good, perfectly cooked and the chips were too. Very tender and tasty. Really impressed today, well done guys. Will be back soon.

Just phoned up and booked on the off chance and when we arrived we were served by friendly, helpful staff. Food was delicious, hot and good value. We have just moved into the area and we shall return! Thank you. Maureen

Went as a party of 30 to celebrate a lady's 89th birthday. We were all in the separate room which was laid out nicely......Food orders taken by a friendly young girl and a young man brought the food out every efficiently.......A few gripes we had was that a bowl of soup was the last ordered item to be brought out, why ?.......general opinion of the chips was that they were dreadful - only warm and seem to have been cooked some time ago, lots were left on the plates.....rest of food was okay..........sorry but talking to others the food here seems to be a bit hit and miss........

First time visiting, there was a charity gig on in the garden for Marcella House, mental health support locally. Everyone was exceptionally friendly, drinks were cold and welcome was warm! Didn’t eat but heard lots of positive comments about the food. Large safe play area for kids. Very busy.

Wie bei Brit Stops aufgeführt hat das Pub bis zu 5 Stellplätzen für eine Nacht, kostenlos!!! Schön wäre dann wenn man den Abend Dort verbringen würde. Das haben wir getan. Hervorragendes Essen und auch verschiedene Pints genossen. Dann konnten wir am nächsten Morgen unsere Fahrt gestärkt und ausgeschlafen fortführen. War alles in allem eine tolle Erfahrung

We stayed locally for a holiday recently and found this pub initially to watch the football one night. Food looked good so we ate there and it was so good we returned for 2nd and 3rd visits that week. Very friendly, good service (although food is not quickest, it is clearly because they cook everything fresh) and the 3 meals I had were all superb. Highly recommend The Glen!

Couldnt ask for a better pub, friendly staff, great selection of alcohol and great food. Looking forward to many happy trips here

My husband had never been in the Glen so I took him in there on his birthday. Well, what a treat. That is, a treat if you like your Chardonnay warm enough to bathe in and Doombar superchilled. We were served by a dead-eyed young woman who should reconsider her career choices and perhaps work somewhere where there are no people. The Australian outback or the Pitcairn Islands? I don't mind my ale being too cold (first world problems, I know) but when I asked this unsmiling woman if there was any chilled Chardonnay available she replied "no we keep it out the back". I doubt this is true but hey, what ya gonna do? My husband asked her to put a lump of ice in his wine, which she did with a bad grace. I don't think we'll be going back.

Excellent evening, had a gorgeous steak cooked to perfection, and the atmoshere was friendly, a pleasure to be there, there was a meat draw as well as a chance to win money, my kind of pub

No soy de los que escriben comentarios negativos a la ligera y me gusta apoyar a las empresas locales, sin embargo, el hecho de que me sirvan no caliente, o pollo frío pero congelado simplemente no es aceptable en absoluto. Apenas una disculpa, aunque se le da un refresco gratis. Soy un cliente bastante fácil de complacer. ¡Simplemente no te pongas enfermo!

On a recent visit we found the beef so stringy it was impossible to cut let alone eat. The meal itself was barely warm and the vegetables were almost raw. On telling a member of staff we merely got "sorry"

We had a really pleasent evening with warm and very friendly service, I enjoyed a succulent 10oz steak with all the trimmings at a really good price, it was a Thursday evening with live entertainment. Britstop plus happily for me very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

The burger was sub par, one of the all time worst burgers of my life which was £10 which they must make at least £7 profit on, as the meat is a very bad quality. But it's a nice venue.

Esta fue mi primera visita durante unos meses. La elección de la comida parecía limitada: ¿pastel del día? - ninguna. Solo dos especiales mediocres. Curry disponible, pero sin bolsillos. Fish and Chips: porciones relativamente pequeñas en comparación con otros pubs de la zona. Aún sirve buena cerveza, pero necesita subirla para comprar comida.

Sunday Roast fue una buena relación calidad-precio. Elección de porciones grandes o pequeñas con una muy buena selección de verduras, tuvimos el grande que era un plato muy grande. Patatas asadas, pud de yorkshire, col lombarda, coliflor, guisantes, brócoli, zanahorias y una opción de cuatro carnes. La elección más pequeña sería amplia. Muy agradable y servicial personal. Buen lugar para sentarse al aire libre y cubierto. Buenas instalaciones de estacionamiento y grandes restaurantes están dentro.

Pub encantador, buena cerveza y excelentes jardines / zona de juegos. Estuve allí con 5 amigos para almorzar y no fue bueno. Varias opciones de menú no disponibles y de las opciones ordenadas, lados, por ejemplo, poppadoms / chutney no estaban disponibles. Esperamos mucho tiempo para comida muy mediocre. Nuestro grupo ciclista no regresará.

Llegamos a media tarde con un amigo, para lo que esperábamos sería un almuerzo rápido en un pub, a un pub casi vacío donde, como mejor pudimos ver, nadie más estaba comiendo. Nos encontramos en el bar con una joven que, en el mejor de los casos, podía describirse como apenas interesada en nuestra presencia que lindaba con la completa indiferencia que a regañadientes aceptaba nuestras órdenes. Pedimos dos baguettes, dos porciones de patatas fritas, una porción de aros de cebolla y un par de pintas.

If you are a eating here and you are a ‘Strong’ Vegetarian be very careful when ordering from the menu..

Had family over from Norway so decided to have family meal due to us having our wedding meal there a year before.

Friendly staff, good selection of drinks . Big garden with a children's play area and a petanque terrain.

Seems friendly and certainly has a good group of local regulars. Food in average and place generally smells of old roasts of bygone Sundays. Has a good kids play area. Nothing really to bring us back.

Nice pub with a lovely beer garden with play area for young kids. Ideal place for a spot of lunch with friends before doing the school run

Simple pub food, average price, freindly staff, music quiz night Mondays,good fun.outside seating, big inside with lots of seating areas, dsrtboards

Basic pub grub. Portions quite large. Prices mid-range. Separate function room. Arrived by taxi and it appeared to be quite remote but I may be wrong.

We parked overnight in the car park with our motor home. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food and service were good. The beer garden is well kept and a pleasure to sit outside and enjoy the good beer.

We came on Sunday early evening this week on a spur of the moment visit for something to eat,

Volar para nosotros parar de visita y nos complace ver que había entretenimiento. Había un pequeño problema con la comida, pero este fue rápidamente y eficientemente corregido - así que no hay problema.

Mejor descrito como un tipo de familia de pub local, con facultades para los niños. La comida suele ser sencillo y buena relación calidad-precio.

Pub con una buena atmosfera. Paramos para la comida y había música en vivo, que parecía ser popular. La comida era buena así como el servicio. No estaba contento con mi comida, así que fue rápidamente reemplazado sin problemas, así que no hay quejas.

Éramos 5 de nosotros para el almuerzo. El pub era cálido y el personal amable y acogedor. Todos ordenamos las ofertas especiales y llegó en un tiempo razonable. Estaba perfectamente bien pub grub a un precio razonable. Hemos visitado en varias ocasiones a lo largo de los años y parece que ha mantenido un nivel de calidad adecuado.

Muy decepcionado con este local pub. . Pedimos cigalas. colas de. . Que podría haber sido cualquier cosa, pan rallado. . . directamente desde la sección de congelados del supermercado. . . Mi compañero tenía pollo Korma. . Un montón de pollo en un líquidos líquido sin korma sabor. . Arroz estaba hecha. y aguada. . . Solo perdi 20 libras. . . No volveremos.. . .

Came for a late lunch on Saturday..table of 6 plus one small child .Service ..very welcoming Menu ..good variety Price .. average Food excellent We all had baguettes and sides ..most had bacon and brie but I opted for the chill and chess and it was fantastic I did find the cheesy onion rings a little greasy but still tasty Will be returning

Value for money not great at all. Food not at all freshly made seemed to be microwaved to heat up resulting in a few dishes being burnt round edges. We have tried eating at the Glen maybe 3 times in the hope the food has improved from our last visit due to being our local pub. Sadly we won't be giving it the befitting of the doubt again which is a shame when it's such a lovely pub/family garden area. We will be back for a few drinks and packet of crisps due to lovely staff and great atmosphere .

The play area was great for our 2 children. The drinks we were given including a cider and a lager were not nearly filled up to the top. The food arrived quickly, the chilli looked like it had been warmed up briefly from the freezer and had no juice/sauce to it just mince. The lasagne was lovely , the children's pizza was a Chicago town pizza which at £4.95 was irritating as he could have had a packet pizza at home for £1. the children's cottage pie was ginormous but again no juice/gravy to the mince it was all quite dry. The lady who collected the plates didn't ask if it was all ok infact she didn't speak at all. The play park was great for our kids and had it not have been for that we would have been very disappointed with our evening out.

We visit the glen from time to time and always regret it. The garden is lovely for kids, they are even trying to catch the pesky wasps that plague pub gardens. But that's all there is good about it. Dull inside and even duller food. Chips were hard through, and one burger took over 30 minutes and was sat waiting, but staff really didn't seem to care. Bar lady spilt a drink all over one of our party and in our baby change bag. An innocent accident but the woman's attitude stank of I don't care, we weren't even offered a replacement drink. You would think the landlord would be sat wondering why his boozer was dead on a sunny bank holiday Monday to be honest.... Maybe he should start reading trip advisor

called in for something to eat.not the cleanest tables that we have ever sat at. limited menu. first choice they had no ham. food when delivered surprisingly acceptable. Staff could be happier

Terrible atmosphere. Bad beer. Poor staff and the worst manager in history. It is as though he is trying to lose business by alienating his clientele. Most locals want a new manager so that the pub can get back to being a place of fun like it used to be. I'm sure it will be soon so fingers crossed!

Came in Tonight (19th july) with my wife for meal. Excellent service from bar staff and food very quick. My wife had the chilli con carne and I opted for a special they were doing which was a macaroni pasta bake with chorizo, chicken and black pudding (and garlic bread) and was one of the most delicious dishes I've ever eaten our bill for 2 meals and 4 drinks was £30 and was worth every penny we will happily visit again - Cheers! :-)

Friendly staff but not particularly customer focused, bar staff more keen to speak to each other . Quite dark interior setting dominated by 'sky tv screen' - fine if you are soccer fan . Varied 'specials ' board . Large beer garden which was reasonably quiet but had large play area for children which looks as though could become a noisy area as a result. On a summers evening which was quiet had a reasonable meal but average.Attractive flowers -good use of old wc as flower pot!

Plenty of space inside and out. Serves food up till 9pm most evenings. The menu was very good with a large selection of meals and quite a few dishes for veg'es.

Had a great Sunday lunch here with all the family the food was really good and plentiful pudding was also good great atmosphere and nuce garden

We booked a table at the Glen last Sunday night at 6.30 for quiz night. There was 4 of us.The two men ordered a mixed grill which I must say was huge and value for money. It was very tasty and succulent. The ladies ordered lasagne and unfortunately it was not up to expectations. It was far too cheesy with only a spread of mince, the cheese overpowered it, it actually was very bland. We were not checked on during our meal by the waiting staff.At the end of the meal we did mention to the person coming to clear the tables that it was not good and the asked the manager to come and see us. We explained the situation and I must say they were excellent in taking the two meals off the bill and offering us two free puddings. Very good customer service.The pub is looking a little tired now with a hole in the ceiling where we were sitting but I think they are looking to do the pub up. The outside seating area is certainly well kept.I would still go to this pub again and maybe share a mixed grill.

They have real ale and cider. Quiz evenings also darts and music. Food is cooked fresh and always tasty. Plenty of room and tables. We'll run and friendly staff.

I used to live around this area and the glen has always been a bit of a hit and miss to be honest, I went there with my mother (still lives in the area) At the times we went it was very quite there were some other diners and people I can only assume as regulars sat in the corner near the bar, the bar tenders were very polite and catering to our wishes. I ordered the all day breakfast and the portion was plenty big enough and delicious, my mother ordered the gammon this by far was well worth the money I would describe it as more of a 'slab' of gammon.We thought that the meals were so nice we went again the next day and ordered 2 different meals both were as high quality as the first.I would say the Glen is not the cheapest pub around but well worth the money you pay!! prob go again next week! ha

Old pub which always seems busy.They have a play park for the kiddies.we have been a few times but only ever ordered a bowl of chips which are good value.The menu is very plain, as a group we ordered a few dishs they were bland pretty tasteless. We wont be eating here again but will retunn for drinks

We booked a table after xmas for a family reunion, the food was really awful and I just put it down to catering for a large amount of people. My works invited me to a pub lunch, when my food came out it looked awful, it was cold, stogy and the garlic bread rock hard. I took it to the manager who was so rude and i mean really rude, he was really aggressive, had absolutely no interest in the complaint, but was more interested in trying to intimidate me, Needless to say me or my family will never be going back here

Brilliant staff brilliant entertainment! Family orientated! Best times ever!! Love love love the Glen and its staff!

A hidden gem if you are not a local. Plenty of parking and food choice. Perhaps not a place for bored teens or tiny tots but reception is ok for most phones etc and the staff are great and welcoming.

Such a lovely pub to visit in the new forest very good value for money and all the staff are ever so friendly

A proper local pub serving great reasonably priced food. There is so much going on, in the form of quizzes, petanque, crib etc. Thursday night is band night with some great bands performing. Well worth a visit.

Good facilities for all the family, both indoors and out in gardens. Excellent quiz night and Sunday Lunch. Good food, friendly prompt service.

Okay Pub Food - We had a simple meal Burgers which were nothing to rave about, Kids Mac 'n Cheese was less than average - I know they for kids but please make some effort! Great kids play area and decent open out door area

As this is my only local pub with a kids garden I do like to pop up here with kiddies in the summer...but the last 2 times I have been,I have ordered food,both times they have come out not up to scratch...the staff are not very friendly..always look miserable..as a waitress and barmaid my self I no how important it is to put on a smile and to make your customers feel welcomed.Some changes really need to be made here.

Very friendly unspoilt pub. Beer very expensive , but as expected in New Forest Area. Didn't look at food menu

Dark and dingy indoors. Very ordinary food with poor provision for gluten free/dairy free diets. If you want ordinary chippy pub lunch in garden with play area for children, it's probably fine.

Just came by this small restaurant for Sunday roast. Car park was packed but restaurant wasn't. Not too sure about the comments on rude owners on this site but the waitress serving us was all right - very responsive. Food menu was simple, not much choices just the Sunday roast choices on the board but food comes out fast. Portion is good and taste pretty good. All in experience is very good! Would return again.

I have been going to the Glen for many years and always felt that the environment was friendly, relaxing and inviting. However since the new owner and thus new management that nice environment has quickly disappeared. It's such ashame considering that many traditionally English pubs in the area are vanishing so choosing which pub to go to is narrowing. I hope for the pub sack and for the local area, the Glen is re-brought by a more deserving, respectful owner who understands the proper of role of a landlord.

Came in here last year after being away for about 4 months (out of the country), this pub is local to where I grew up and my friends wanted to come in for a catch up drink! I walked in and was immediately greeted by the owner/manager who told me I was barred and couldn't come in?! I was very confused and asked them why, they referred to a night around a month a go where somebody had obviously caused trouble - I tried to explain (stone cold sober at the time) that I wasn't even on this continent a month a go let alone at this pub but was basically told to piss off. Would not recommend especially in an area with so many great pubs elsewhere!

Owners are rude and disrespectful Food is awful and overpriced I Think it unnecessary to have gay men pictures next to the sink in the ladies toilets especially when it's supposed to be a child friendly environment!!! Staff serve regulars before people that have been waiting in a queue to be served. Last time we ate here my partner and I both had food poisoning due to sharing a burger.

Went to celebrate a birthday , seemed to be what ever we ordered they had run out of , the waitress service was slack and the food resembled dried up left overs. I won't be going there again, so be prepared if you are going tto this pub.

Not overly sure why this pub allows its dogs to roam about on the flat roof above the entrance to the pub! On entering, the two dogs were barking aggressively at another dog in the garden, my children were frightened (we do have a dog) and as we walked under them, dog slobber dripped onto my five year olds face! Nice! The children's food was all deep fried to death. The welcome was friendly and the play area good!

Had a great italian dish here, full of flavour and great friendly service! Great pub and pub grub, families and dogs are allowed in the pub, and they have a resturant side away from the general public bar area.

Quaint old fashioned style pub where we enjoyed a nice traditional Sunday lunch, good value and good sized portions.

Food = horrible Managment & staff = disorganised unfriendly Value = overpriced Atmosphere = full of grubby locals Would NOT recommend.

Lunch for a family of 7. Booked and ordered at 1.00 still waiting at 2.00! Finally arrived and one steak inedible! Returned to waitress who said 'not my problem!'. No further follow up by management who when spoken to on paying the bill was totally disinterested! Took the price of the steak off reluctantly. Three coffees ordered, took two trips for the coffees to arrive and a further trip to furnish us with milk, sugar and teaspoons - totally pathetic service and treatment.

We regularly go to the Gleneagles on a Sunday for the Sunday roast. Always very good and my daughter loves playing in the children's area. Definitely recommended.

I used to always like popping into here when we fancied a quick bit to eat but wouldn't in a hurry now,bar is full of men so its hard to order,they should have a space at the end of bar really,i find it quite intimidating, and what is going on with the pictures in ladies loo??? gay men ! wouldn't take son to loo,he had to cross his legs

A few friends and I met up for an evening meal at the "Glen" and the service was appaling! we waited an hour for food whcih was cold so had to be sent back none of it came out all at one and had a 5/10 minute gap between.the staff were incompitent as they did not come and inform us as to what was causing the delay in our food.The food tasted like it was tesco value out of the microwave food and had more oil on it than anything i had ever had in my life.NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO THEIR OR RECOMEND TO ANYONE

Good honest local pub, with a nice garden, reasonably priced pub-grub and cold beer! Often take the family of an evening as its nice to get out of the house and not worry about cooking! They also are pet-friendly... which is a MASSIVE bonus... All in all... nice place and I'm glad we live almost next to it :-)

Had a lovely roast on Sunday, yet again.. service excellent, staff friendly. Great dog friendly pub on the edge of the forest. Many thanks will come again x

Gleneagles makes a lovely Sunday lunch! Almost like Mum used to make. Choice of 4 meats usually, and comes with all the trimmings. Lovely roaring log fire in the bar area on the cold day we visited! Service can be a bit slow when they are busy but the staff are friendly. Lovely choice of puddings and unusal ice creams for desssert! Try the rhubarb crumble & custard one!

We ate here, just before xmas, with some friends. Had a great meal, nothing exotic, just good, honest grub. Although very busy, with the xmas rush, they still got our food out in a timely manner, and what just what we wanted, good value, wholesome food. Have returned since, and will in the future!

Nice to find somewhere that serves a roast all day. I had the roast beef and it was very tender and tasty. I was a little disappointed with the veg and deep fried roast potatoes.

Not the easiest place to find but the welcome and the ambience was great.ell worth the effort to locate.Good food well cooked.

We went here for lunch on a Saturday having read all the great reviews on Trip Advisor. However, we were deeply disappointed. We had fish & chips and gammon & chips. Unfortunately the fish was very dry, tasteless and looked like a preformed triangle of processed fish straight from the freezer. The gammon was wet and fatty. A real shame as the location and garden were great. We won't be returning.

We live local and visit here on a regular basis, would defiantly recommend the Sunday roasts & their steaks!Kids meals are cheap & cheerful but most the time there playing outside in the play area anyway!

the pub was very busy on arrival, got a seat ok, roast was very nice staff polite, i think it would be nice if it didnt have a tv in the area people are eating..

This is a family run pub in a quite corner of the New Forest, the location has an excellent garden and play area as well as well catered for smokers with shelter and heaters. The roasts are superb, the meats are beautiful, the gravy is home made and the vegetables are all fresh.

a nice smile, a good pint, good food, plenty of parking, the staff are nice you could do a lot worse

I visited the Gleneagles twice while staying in Hythe. The first time it was a bit quiet, so I didn't really stay too long. However, one of the locals tipped me off about the band nights. When I went back on the band night, it was like a different world, and was full of life and energy. The band were very good too.

Buzzing atmosphere!High quality of food. Service with a smile :)Deffently going back. Best sunday roast ever!

This place is always reliable. The staff and management always attentive and the food is always great. We have tried many different places but keep coming back here. Great for familys, not much passing trade, so make the effort and try it. A lovely friendly place. Would highly recommend the Sunday roasts and their huge burgers!.
