Green Dragon in New Forest - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Such a beautiful pub and well kept gardens 5/5 for that. Let down by the food we had this lunchtime. Ploughman’s - cheese was very good, salad fresh but quiche tasteless and sour dough bread dry with no flavour. A shame as last time we visited we had an excellent lunch. My partner had the burger which was good.

Stopped on a whim and had an absolutely lovely lunch in pleasant surroundings with friendly staff, ploughman's was amazing!

Lovely bar, restaurant and staff. We went whilst on holiday and my daughter loved the food. The meals for adults were also lovely and the food was to a high quality standard. I asked for no salad and this was abided by to my dietary request. The tap selection is great, with many brewery made beers by the company that owns it as well as Stowford Press, Heineken, Moretti and some other brands. The pub was large with a separate restaurant to dine in to the bar, there was also a large, well kept beer garden. This was a gorgeous pub with plenty of parking, overall very friendly caring staff and great quality food and drinks. We would return again!

Today we went on the new forest open top bus tour and planned to stop by the green dragon for lunch. I enjoyed a refreshing pint of the swordfish ale and my fiancée had a hot chocolate, which she said was one of the best hot chocolates she's had! I had the burger and fries and my fiancée had the ham, egg and chips. We finished our meal with sticky toffee puddings and these were also very tasty, the puddings were served with salted caramel ice cream which went perfectly with the pudding. Everything was perfect, we especially enjoyed the chips which came with the ham, they were very tasty and cooked perfectly. We shall recommend the green dragon to friends and family when they visit the new forest, we shall return!

Overpriced and terrible service. Save the trouble and cross the road. The bell inn is much nicer and has a much better selection and service

Food very nice, friendly staff.

Had a lovely meal at the Green Dragon over the Bank Holiday weekend, easy to book on line, welcomed on arrival and good table service. Good choice of menu, the 6 X Ale and steak pie was excellent with reasonable prices. Parking can be a bit difficult so book an early table by 1.30pm the pub is very busy. Looking forward to returning in a few months.

First time visiting a pub I have driven past 100s of times over many years. Much bigger than it appears from outside, a typical historic forest/country pub. Good food at reasonable prices and decent drinks selection with friendly service, what's not to like. Will definitely be back.

Great little pub, the food was great, I had fish and chips, it was delicious

Excellent pub hidden away in the new forest, lots of beer and food variety. Good kids meals and plenty of parking. Lovely garden with a play area and climbing frame. Really good service from the staff. Very pleasant pub lunch.

Solid pub grub and lovely location/ building. Great for a meal and a walk.

The food and service are excellent. My only minor suggestion, is don't sit next to the coffee machine, it is very noisy!

Food really good. Pity parking has no designated disabled parking? I parked on grass near brambles/hedge... Obeying sign not yo see space in front of cottage... I came out to see 2cars parked there! 🤔 I have a disability plus my American cousin a passenger is a registered blind man 🤔

Stopped here with my son for bite to eat and a drink, had just a sandwich and my son had chicken, calamari too as a side. All 3 things exceeded my expectations, calamari was especially delicious and a very generous portion. Service was excellent and staff cheery and friendly, great experience and now one of my go to pubs on the forest.

We were passing and stopped for a quick lunch - our food was not good at all. We won't be returning.

Excellent service. Food was hot and plentiful. Good value for money. Large variety of ales too.

Top tier roast dinner. Good service 👍🏼 highly recommend.

This is an excellent country pub near the road so it is easy to find and it has a great car park behind. The bear garden is pretty and big, on Friday they play music and it has a great ambience. We booked a table for Saturday night and everything was good, from the service to the food. We had a grill night and specials to choose from and we all decided to have fish and chips at the end. The portions were perfect and the waitress offered a very good service. It is a recommended visit.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to the Green Dragon owners and staff. This was our second visit for lunch in the garden. It was an incredibly hot day but we were sat in the shade. Had a lovely lunch and we were ready to leave but then discovered we had problems with the car. Staff and owners rallied round to help with our predicament. Supplying us with pints of chilled water to keep us hydrated and somewhere comfortable to relax while we waited for the AA. It was starting to get late and we were concerned about the pub closing and we would be waiting in the dark for the AA but we were reassured that this would not happen and we could wait inside until our assistance arrived. Finally the AA turned up at approximately 10pm (we phoned AA at 3.15pm) and thankfully got our problem sorted. So a huge, huge thank you Green Dragon for going above and beyond to help. We will definitely be back (but in a different car lol).

My last visit was 50years ago! Pleasing to see that the pub still looks much the same. A jolly welcome from the staff. Great food with generous portions. Also a nice garden at the back. No problem recommending the pub.

Really enjoyed it here, nice peaceful setting. Loved the sheep. Would of liked more non alcoholic beers.

The cutest country pub! We stopped for a pint, some chips, and "toddler tyring" in the garden. The play area and sheep were brilliant for the little one, and the selection of both beer and non-alcoholic drinks was good, too. The inside ambience looked cosy, but due to the lovely weather, we didn't sit inside.

Went for a Sunday roast with friends. . The food was excellent and we all agreed it was the best roast we had ever had. Staff were really helpful. Will definitely be back.

A nice pub in a very nice location, great that my son can see some sheep, a reasonable selection of beers, friendly bar staff with some good knowledge of the ales. My only critique is we noticed whilst looking for a seat, some of the outside seating is in need of repair and the table numbers could do with being repainted. We only had a light snack, the chips were lovely, however looking at the menu I feel that some of the items are a little on the pricey side. All in all a nice first experience of this establishment. Will come again soon if only for a nice drink.

Grateful to be well accommodated at the last minute for an early Friday night dinner. Came with a wheelchair user and had relatively easy access in and out of the pub (there are ramps). The staff were great and accommodated us at the easiest table for our needs. Food was nice! Atmosphere was nice! Staff too! Didn't use the pub garden, but it looked really good out there too!

The Steak and Ale pie is superb.

great place visited many years ago this time by motorbike

Nice staff and food. Beef pie is nice, just don't get the burger - small and not that nice

Good meal. Delicious duck. Beer and wine expensive for out of London. Interesting place. Had been made proper from what I remember but retrained some character. Seemed to be lots of locals there. Garden looks ok on a good day. Seems much the same on return visit. Staff very good.

Lovely old pub. Pleasant garden. Refreshing G&T 😊🍸

The most perfect family get together from the start. Had our own room to celebrate my dads 80th with such a friendly welcome. The staff were so attentive and helpful, the menu catered for everyone with lots of dishes l had never tried before and the whole pub was relaxed when a lovely atmosphere. We felt really special. Thank you so much xxx

Spent a night in our motorhome here en route to the ferry port and had a fabulous meal in the pub. The food was delicious, very reasonably priced and the pub is very atmospheric. A fabulous place to stop overnight and very convenient for the Isle of Wight ferry.

Always a warm welcome and tasty food.

We visited The Green Dragon for dinner and ordered steak and chips and burger. The steak was cooked exactly how I like and the peppercorn sauce was superb. The burger was seasoned well and cooked just right. Very friendly and polite staff that were really helpful and did everything they could for us to enjoy our meal. I would recommend this as a great place for lunch or dinner to anyone wanting to enjoy a meal out.

Good food and service very friendly. Toilets spotless will be going back soon.

Exceptionally lovely country pub, good choice of food & plenty of it, fully recommend this pub, bar staff very welcoming. Enjoy.

Good food, good service, value for money

We are regular rather than frequent visitors but the Green Dragon is always an excellent experience. Very friendly and welcoming staff , good food with interesting specials as well as the comprehensive menu - well worth the long journey from Winsor.....!!!

A really lovely pub. We had excellent food, the service was very good, all the staff were lovely. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you.

Great food, served very well with a great selection of drinks.

Great pub and great for camping over night. Will definitely be back.

Nice ambiance, disappointing food. We ordered Steak frites, tomato and basil soup and the pork t-bone with mustard mash. The steak was cold and was sent back. The staff did this happily and apologised, but the replacement was not much warmer. The soup was the strength and consistency of pasta sauce - too overpowering to finish. Would have been nice stirred through a steaming bowl of penne. The colour and presentation of the pork dish was not appetising and the pork was bordering on dry and felt like a sauce would have helped. Both meats felt like they were pre-cooked and warmed? Disappointing.

Excellent food, good service, disappointing lack of vegetarian and vegan options.

Friendly staff, busy atmosphere, will pop in again no doubt.

We had a brilliant Sunday lunch experience. Best Roast dinner I have had in a long time in a pub, smashing crackling too. Food delicious and good portions, service very friendly and personable. Pub has a lovely setting and a small kids outdoor climbing frame area. It was also refreshing that the toilets were really nice, smelt fresh and very clean...a big bonus. We loved our meal and have booked to come back next week with extended family for a birthday celebration. Thank you to all the team :)

Great freshly cooked food but too much portion wise for us. You used to offer smaller Sunday Roast portions which would have suited us better. Our table was by the kitchen where there was obviously a window or door open as we sat in a permanent draft. It was also right next to the coffee machine so it took us a little while to adjust to the noise levels! We asked twice if we could move to different table in the corner but were told it was booked - it remained empty the entire time we were there - kinda took the edge off our visit. Friendly staff and service.

Great food and really friendly service. Good pub garden.

Lovely afternoon meal mostly our party had roast I had fish and chips Lovely geat tasty food very happy helpful staff brilliant will visit again

Fabulous meal as always. Highly recommended. Friendly and attentive staff and great menu choice, what more could you ask from a village pub. P+C

Very good service and food pleasant staff can thoroughly recommend it

Lovely looking country pub, to look at. Went it for tea and it was quite busy which I thought was a good sign. Was rather pleased that they did have a table for me. Ordered a prawn & crayfish cocktail and what can I say, crayfish was tough and everything drowned in cocktail sauce. The steak and ale pie looked lovely, but again was drowning in bisto. Don’t get me wrong, I love gravy, but this was too much for me. The chips and fries were sloppy and soggy, the meat was tough and stringy. However the veg were cooked to perfection.

Staff were absolutely lovely. Food was nice and good value. Beautiful beer garden

Not bad but we have had a lot better

Great atmosphere driven by friendly attentive staff and owners. Fantastic quality food. Never overcrowded, tables spaced. Amazing covered outdoor space.

An excellent early dinner stop. It was a sunny evening, so we sat outside enjoying the setting sun. With cheerful service, and I enjoyed an excellent burger together with the usual accompliants. 😋

Friendly staff and food always cooked to perfection! Love it!

Great setting, friendly staff and excellent food at reasonable price ! 100% recommend.

Wow, I have been past this place many times on my motorcycle in the summer, went there today and treated the family, smiles all round great food and staff. This maybe my new favorite pub to go for food 😋.

A lovely pub with great staff serving excellent food.

What a fantastic place! Countryside cosiness-that's in short, but in more details: this place will cocoon you with its beauty and warmth and you won't want to leave. OK, maybe you can leave, but you will want to come back soon. Great drinks (like strong alcohol) selection. Food is lush! Please do check specials menu as well - you won't regret it! We stopped by here on the way from Isle if Wight - super addition to our journey. Definitely will be visiting this place soon again! Also, if the day is warm enough-sit outside and enjoy the views plus, company of thr farm animals (they always seem to wander around).

We have lunched at the Green Dragon twice in the last week, first with Relatives, then 4 days later with friends. Both times we all ordered different meals and all were enjoyed and were good sizes. All the staff were friendly.

Friendly service, nice choice on menu and chefs specials available. Definately has the feel of a traditional country pub. The handrail leading up some steps on rear patio needs attention though as my elderly cousin held on to it and it was really quite wobbly.. Our meals were very tasty and we all enjoyed our visit.

Fantastic pub, welcoming and friendly staff and delicious food, thank you,my husband had a lovely birthday meal.

Enjoyed a few beers and dinner at the liveliest pub in Brook in the New Forest. Steak and ale pie went down well. Dog friendly 🐕🐶🐾

Great food, lovely staff, good price, comfortable corner table. Only downside was the parking was full.

Great service, very welcoming, good old fashioned country pub + well cooked pub food

Lovely pub and the food is excellent, definitely recommend the pies! Service was efficient and friendly. Nice easy comfortable atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit

Food was delicious. Staff efficient but needed more. Cozy, dark, atmospheric. Toilets need updating.

Lovely Forest Pub/Restaurant - been a few times and the food is always excellent

Brilliant service lovely area can't fault it x

The Green Dragon are always welcoming, fab meal & great service 😊

Excellent meals, great bar staff, although very busy meals arrived on time well prepared and presented. Nice selection of drinks too.

Great meal and dessert all gluten free!

The food and service was excellent. I love this quaint, old pub, such character.

We came here for our last meal in the New Forest before heading home! We will be back for sure, lovely food and atmosphere, kid and dog friendly plus a very quick service! Really appreciated that as kids find it hard to wait sometimes! Really lovely find, thank you Green Dragon! @our_evantures

This is obviously a popular location on the edge of the New Forest and we had failed to make a reservation, however the staff were welcoming and as soon as a table became available they set to work to clean it ready for us. Despite being busy, staff were patient and friendly and the food was served quicker than expected. The food was well cooked and presented, with generous portions. I think there was only one vegan option, but it was creative and delicious. The inside was cosy and rustic with interesting wall hanging and there was extra seating in a very inviting looking bell tent outside.

It was delicious food, we went with our friends

Nice pub. Good selection of beer and tasty reasonably priced food.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere at the Green dragon. This is one of the only pubs left in this part of the new forest that has kept its charm and good old English pub persona. I have been coming to the Green dragon for the past 45 years and the Green dragon has managed to keep its own style intact. Great food and good prices, easy to get too from the M27 but far enough away from the hustle and bustle for a nice relaxing drink or meal.

Excellent food and drinks in classic New Forest pub. Superb friendly service too.

Wow ! I loved it, really great. I highly recommend it.👍

Group of us visited for a Birthday celebration. The staff are extremely attentive and the food is amazing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals which were very generous and filling. Thank you for making this birthday a memorable day.

Great place amazing food, and love l y bar staff.

Excellent food in a lovely pub and great location

What can I say, had a great weekend,the food was top notch as always,the ale was so good it led me astray! And the hospitality in general was faultless!! The Dog had a good time too!!

Service was fast and efficient and the food was really good. Nice selection of real ales to.

Cant give any stars as we were ignored when we went in to enquire about a table for lunch. When we were spoken to the woman then ignored us and went to speak to other people that had walked in behind us. So we left. Cannot comment on anything more as didnt have anything

As always service and food excellent.

First class roast dinner, very dog friendly pub love it 🥰

Fantastic food, wonderful service

Served quickly, nice atmosphere, great food, (but peppercorn sauce on this occasion was too salty, but get that in a lot of places) polite staff. Been there a few times and will return again. Regards

As ever top notch food and service. Thank you.

Had an exceptionalSunday Roast at the Green Dragon today The food was cooked to perfection!!!!! Unfortunately the service not so We were a large party of 9 booked for 12.00 lunch (did not get anyone to take our food order until 12.50 ) eventually received food at 1.25 I totally understand that it is a busy day (if a member of the team had just come over and apologised and said there would be a delay it would have improved the situation All was redeemed however when the food came beautifully cooked !!!!!! Sorry for the mixed review but hope this will be helpful to you in another scenario Mary R

Wow! #pubstop, five star experience from start to finish! Called in advance, to book a table, we stopped for the night, very flexible ordered dinner, very tasty! ,absolutely amazing staff, very attentive and welcoming! Very highly recommended!

Happy, friendly, polite staff and excellent food. My friends and I will be returning.

Great food as always Atmosphere in the pub is always good Staff are so attentive which makes the experience all so enjoyable

Very welcoming to our large group. We were here for drinks after a run. Didn’t eat personally but some of our group did and said the roast was lovely.

Not the first time we’ve been, as always food spot on , no complaints, staff always smiling 😊 & helpful, therefore won’t be our last visit

Food and staff were exceptional! I didn't get the lovely young girls name who was working but she was so happy, kind and attentive and a real credit to the team. Food was lovely, my mum had the steak ciabatta (which she tends to get a lot when she goes to a pub) and she said this was the best one she ever had! Highly recommend!!

Lovely food and nice atmosphere. It got really busy so there was a little wait for desserts but all staff were friendly and welcoming :)
