Jacqueline's Tea Rooms & Gifts in New Forest

Lovely lunch of toasted sandwiches, with tea and espresso. Gluten Free options very good, and included a GF biscuit with the tea.

Recently visited Jacqueline’s tea rooms for a family lunch. On arrival we were pleasantly greeted and quickly taken to a table. Our waitress was Hannah, who took our order quickly, correctly and she was so attentive to our requirements, that we tipped more than we usually would. A fantastic place to eat lunch, with a great vibe! Would definitely recommend ❤️

Terrible customer service from Hannah. Absolutely no interest in attending to customer needs. Rude. Unaccommodating. Was the first time been there, looked lovely from the outside - and the inside devote is sweet and inviting. But will be the last time too… Hannah the hostess/waitress/manager needs to be sent on a course on How to win in the hospitality industry.

Lovely Tea Rooms where you can enjoy a light lunch, or a piece of homemade cake, or both ! A cosy and welcoming place, which I would recommend to anyone, and especially if you are on a glutenfree diet. The staff are very welcoming and obliging. I forgot to mention from the start that I have a glutenfree diet and when I asked about the crisp onions in the salad, the cook offered to replace my salad for a glutenfree one, even though I had already started eating ! And the homemade cakes are sooooo yummy !

Delicious lunch here. Food was freshly made and really tasty. Staff were so welcoming and could not do enough for you. They also cater well for gluten free. Would highly recommend

I had my baby shower at Jacqueline's in October last year and I have meaning to write this review ever since because it was fabulous! We had the venue to ourselves and the owner, Jackie, could not have been more welcoming, friendly and overall lovely. The food was absolutely wonderful. A fantastic afternoon tea with huge freshly baked scones and plenty of cakes! We also had a plate each of homemade sandwiches, salads and a pork pie. Such a lot of food at great value! Jackie allowed us to put up our own decorations and play some games. She did rush us out of the building, even though we had been there a while! She told us to stay as long as we wanted as she was baking fresh cakes! The waitress who served us was also delightful. I had a wonderful experience and as a local resident I will be going more often and recommending. Thank you again! Christina

First visit to this delightful tea room. We popped in for a couple of bacon sandwiches and drinks,the food was great and the staff were very polite and helpful. We will be coming back next time we’re in Ringwood and would fully recommend a visit if you’re in town👍

We had a wonderful experience at Jacqueline's! I cannot fault this place; it has friendly, welcoming staff, who can't do enough for you, and delicious food at reasonable prices. It is clearly a treasured gem in the Ringwood community, with many regular customers singing its praises! Thank you for a lovely lunch - we'll be back!

Shameful service by the cook and owner who I can only describe as delinquents, the waitresses where lovely. I hope those involved read this and I hope for the cost it takes you to take this off trip adviser is the same amount you have stolen out of my pocket. I unfortunately won’t get the time back for having to deal with the rude cook and Jackie the owner who wasn’t present but spoke to me via phone as no one else there had a scooby. Its disgusting how you treated us, I’m from Fordingbridge and enjoy eating out in the area, never have I come across such appalling hospitality. I have taken photos of the note you wrote me when I asked for a receipt and recorded everything on my phone from the second time I brought the food in and your staff started shouting at me. I’m glad I recorded as you continuously lied about what you said, did not listen to me at all and in the end had a completely fictional version of events. I get you’re not a very professional business but the way you can hear your staff speaking to me in the recording is unacceptable and you can clearly hear the part that you agreed to give me my money back after I had paid before I received my meal (big mistake) and the cook stormed to our table like an overgrown toddler throwing a tantrum and threw our meals in the bin after two wrong attempts at what we ordered and then decided to up the hostility and refuse to give me my money back despite already throwing the food away so we literally got nothing but you think it’s perfectly acceptable to keep my money? Please say anything is wrong with my statement and I will happily send the recording where you can hear everything clearly because of her loud mouth. I feel sorry for the young staff who repeatedly kept looking at me smiling and mouthing that they were sorry. The woman that are running this business are poor examples, unkind and toxic. Everything I asked was responded with aggressive remarks that didn’t answer anything or make sense. I’m aware I won’t get anywhere with this as the manager/owner is clearly a huge part of the problem and has extremely stressed staff. From reading her other responses she has delusional ideation. However, I need to get it off my chest as when I’ve been robbed, don’t have much money myself and have one day off a week which I decided to come here, I’m angry.

Popped in for lunch on our way to Bournemouth. Great service, friendly staff and delicious food. Cappuccino and tea was excellent. I'm a fussy tea drinker and the tea here was spot on! Strong and tasty tea. Nice selection of gifts available as well. Hope to return one day. Highly recommended.

Visited Jacqueline's tea room today with my partner and family. With lot's of choice of places to eat in Ringwood it would be easy to make a mistake and pick somewhere rubbish, luckily we didn't. Jacqueline's is a friendly place with good food, drinks and has staff that want to interact and make their customers happy. We left today, well fed and watered and with smiles on our faces. This place is really worth finding if you are in the area. We will definitely visit again when we are back in the area. I can definitely recommend the pineapple surprise.

Stopped in Ringwood on the way back from Devon to find a late breakfast, luckily everywhere we looked at on our walk from the main car park down through the high street was closed and we found Jacqueline’s. The cooked breakfast we had was fantastic clearly consisting of top quality ingredients and was very good value our coffee was also very good. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere. We would visit again.

Hard to find this place as it’s hidden away round the back of a shopping arcade No one else was here when we got there at 4pm Waiter on his phone Sprang to action and could not be more helpful tho Seemed to be v complicated to order one cream tea and one tea and cake but we got there in the end Orange and cranberry cake was delicious by the way Just under 10 for this all together Lovely table and chairs Nick nacks to buy everywhere Mis matched crockery is quirky Announced kitchen was closed as we were served at 4-15? Cute enough but in wrong place?

Very good coffee. Really enjoyed our visit to this cafe to enjoy the fresh coffee. Sat outside in the sun, the teapot my wife enjoyed included a good 3 full tea cups. Service good.

Very jovial,happy and friendly staff Food was hot ,served fast and tasted delicious Highly recommended

The menu was a good lunch selection and there were specials on the board. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We both ordered Pannini however when it arrived it was a baguette warmed up with some ham and cheese stuffed inside but not melted. I asked my friend if this is what she had before as she has been in lots of times and she said it was (she didnt know what a pannini was!) so I didnt make a fuss as this was her usual eatery but it was definately not a Pannini! For this reason I didnt give it a better score.

We went to Jacqueline's team room for lunch and had a pleasant meal. The cafe is quite small but comfortable to sit in and more pleasant than the larger impersonal restaurants around the corner. The food was good quality and reasonably priced, although service was a little slow. There is one toilet at the back of the restaurant which is slighty outside.

Small family run cafe, proper home cooked food, so fast food it isn’t, friendly, helpful staff. All in all an absolute delight.

Love it here crafts mix china lovely fresh home made cakes scones fresh made sandwiches choose fillings and brown white bread always friendly happy staff lovely cards crafts too love here food always fresh tasty

I visited with my 11 month old son and ordered the special afternoon tea. The sandwich was on gorgeous thick bread with loads of filling, with a lovely salad and the scone with the brandysnap strawberry and cream bowl was gorgeous. My son shared my food and loved it all too! We were made very welcome and the staff were so helpful and friendly and we had a lovely lunch. My parents joined us for a coffee and both commented on how lovely the place was too- a great little find!

We visited when on holiday as a family of 10 and were shown into the back area of the shop which can accommodate larger parties. The owner Jacqui and her assistant were both absolutely lovely and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them, we had 3 tired fractious children in our group one wanted Orange juice, my daughter in law asked if it was smooth or came with bits, when told it came with bits they strained it so there were no bits. The youngest child who couldn't decide what he wanted was offered delights such as a fish finger or jam sandwich. The afternoon tea or cream tea was delightfully presented. I would definitely go back there if I go back to Ringwood

Great service, friendly staff and good food.This was an impromptu stop to get off our bikes whilst the rain was at its heaviest.But we chose well with Jacqueline’s The scones were excellent, it was Decent strong coffee, and really you could ask for no more.We will return

My partner and I went in for a quick drink whilst we were looking around Ringwood. We surely can’t be the only customers to notice this:There were two staff members on the shop floor, and a lady in the kitchen doing the food. We felt very sorry for the young girl wearing black who wore glasses. She was working her backside off whilst the other young girl who looked like she was supposed to be working too sat on hers at a table with another girl.Obviously the owner was the lady in the kitchen. She was ringing the bell to indicate that food was ready and the girl wouldn’t even get up to deliver food to tables, so she was taking it out herself.Incidentally we went back in there today (Saturday) before we set off back home and the same thing is happening, the girl isn’t working! It’s not fair on your other staff!Wether she’s got a problem or not, she’s there to work and shouldn’t be letting her colleagues down.We thought you would like the observation of visitors to the area. The girl who served us was nice and polite by the way.

Excellent service, very friendly staff. Very unusual salad which was delicious. The high tea looked equally good.

Visited today with my family- my husband, my five year old and my two year old twins. The food was lovely however I felt the service could have been better. As we entered the tea shop I got glared at by one of the waitresses when she saw I had three young children and then we were encouraged to sit out the back even though there were tables out the front. Apparently because there was more room. This I believe was not the reason - I felt from the attitude received, it was more to get the children out of the way. My children sat extremely well and ate their food. It’s May half term- people need it expect children around! As I said the food was lovely and if I had felt more welcomed with my family we would return.

We stopped for a snack and were really pleased to find that service and value for money is still in fashion, in Ringwood. Had an excellent sandwich with lovely fresh, fruity green salad. Definitely worth a second visit.

We were just passing through and had some of the best sandwiches ever with a great side salad with pomegranate seeds in - great coffees and ginger beer which was a treat. Chatty happy owner and motivated and help full young lad doing the waiting. Do visit and give it your support

Love the new ice cream. Read on Facebook that they had a new ice cream machine and had to try it. It was even better than I thought it would be! I will be in for some more soon :)

Popped in for lunch great selection to choose from including gluten free options. Service and cleanliness excellent

Popped in with my partner on Saturday afternoon for a cuppa and cake. Young lady serving didn't crack a smile nor welcome us. Instead came over to our table and just stared at us to which prompted me to ask her if she wasn't very happy....... She just shrugged then we uncomfortably gave our tea and cake order. Not a good visit. Promptly had our refreshments and left. This place has the potential to be a little gem but was certainly dissatisfied.

Went in here today with my two daughters and 10 week old Grandson. We waited over an hour for our food (sandwiches and a jacket potato). The food was ok but a little overpriced, I was at least expecting proper brown bread not floppy supermarket ready sliced bread for the price.

What a lovely little cafe , came here once before on a Sunday and they were closed so came back to ringwood especially to try it out . We weren't disappointed , both dad a mini breakfast very nice , I'm not overly keen on bacon so I ask if instead of two pieces could I have one with mushrooms instead and they were very accommodating it wasn't a problem . I love the mug my friend was drinking out and even tryed to purchase it as its the same as my mums favourite and she's just broke it !! But sadly the owner couldn't as needed ally he ones she had but did tell me where it came from . Will definatly return . Also loved the fact I git real China for my tea . I always search out vintage style tea rooms .

I was so impressed with this place wrote this review while I sat here I work for the national trust and believe we make good scones but this lady made the perfect scone please try this place you won't be disappointed

Love to support independent business wherever we can so did not hesitate to go into Jacqueline's when we visited Ringwood recently. The lady who served us was friendly & very efficient, we ordered the filled baguettes with side salad which were delicous. The salad was lovely & included small pieces of fresh pineapple, kiwi & pomegranate seeds such a refreshing change to the usual lettuce & tomato combo served elsewhere. The coffee was very aromatic & delicious too. Would happily visit again next time we are in Ringwood

I love to visit this quaint little old fashioned tea room when I pop in to Ringwood. Its dog friendly, which is so helpful and most of the staff are friendly. One or two could do with a bit of a talking to but it hasn’t put me off.

first time we have been into ringwood itself, and wanted somewhere to eat, came across this place and so pleased we did, lovely friendly people and food was totally worth it, hot fresh and tasty, jacket potatoes and a beautiful fresh salad, which totally shocked myself and my partner, as it had lots of fruit in it, but wow it worked so well, really great value for money as well, lovely young chap served us to start with and took our order and lovely lady took payment as he had finished his shift, but honestly its worth a visit.

Lunchtime on a warm and humid day, , a welcoming tea room with "Air Conditioning ".

iv been here a few times and its always nice, we came here and had our usual, a pot of tea for 2 and a slice of cake yummy, watching the world go by sitting at the front and the cake was so nice, lots to choose from

My partner loves a good tea room and he was not disappointed by this one. Lovely China, cake,tea, coffee and huge tea cake. The milk jug let the side down a bit. Very nice young staff. Dispite there youth they were polite and friendly, matching there mood to suit the customer. We had a laugh with them, while the customer behind more formal. Very fair prices.

Lovely tea room that also sells gifts. Drinks served in bone China cups, saucers with tea pots. Lovely home cooked meals and delicious cakes. Worth a visit when visiting Ringwood Town Centre.

Looking forward to a nice cream tea and sandwich in this cute little tea room whilst on holiday. Quick to serve us initially however the food took about half an hour to come out. One of the orders was wrong and we did not get an opportunity to rectify this as no one came back to check if everything was ok with the food. Our plates were not cleared after we had finished, and we would have liked to have ordered cake or scones after the meal. It felt as if we had been forgotten about, and after a further 20 minutes we had to ask for our bill, and then left, feeling disappointed.

had a very nice cream tea here great owners excellent service friendly chatty efficient food is always well presented and just perfect

Husband and I had a lovely lunch here, choice of fillings and choice of sandwich/baguette etc. Basically choose what you want.

Lovely little tea room, tasty food and a friendly service, my only criticism is the uniform! Awful baseball caps girls, would be nice if you did without them and maybe all dressed the same. Would definitely look a lot smarter.

A dog friendly cafe always scores high in my book! Lovely coffee, twee setting and crafts on sale. What a coffee shop should be.

My Husband and I came across this little tearoom by accident, when looking for somewhere to have a scone and a cuppa tea. We ordered a toasted sandwich which was freshly made and came with a side salad; followed by 2 cream teas - what a lot of food we had: a freshly made fruit scone with jam and cream (& butter, which we didn't use), a brandy snap, strawberry slices and a pot of tea for me and a coffee with cream for my Husband. There was a biscuit with the tea and a piece of shortbread with the coffee. So delicious ....... We made a special trip back to Ringwood a few days later, simply to enjoy the good food again! This time I had a baked potato with ham and cheese filling, and my husband had a baguette with a side salad. He then had a cream tea - with coffee, rather than tea - while I just had a pot of tea, as the baked potato was so filling. On our first visit we shared the toasted sandwich and said we wanted to do that, when we ordered - asking for an extra plate. We didn't see any notice about the surcharge some reviewers have mentioned, and Jacqueline didn't say this wasn't allowed; perhaps because we also ordered cream teas? I engaged Jacqueline in conversation and she seemed quite happy to chat. On both occasions, her husband did the cooking and we were very satisfied with what he served up. We would definitely go back if in that area again: best cup of tea and scones we had during our 6 day visit to Hampshire and Dorset!

Lovely tea room, freshly made sandwiches, wraps and homemade cakes - well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed

Had a takeaway sandwich as was running out of time was best had in a while side salad was as good as the sandwich thanks a lot defo be popping in use again

Had lunch here the other day, fresh crab sandwiches and a really inventive side salad - hats off to the chef. Unfortunately what could have been great was partnered with unsmiling staff, unfriendly service and then we noticed a sign that said - if you share we will charge a £5 surcharge! We were not sharing, but often do - with the choice of great cafe's in Ringwood why bother going back? Shame - as enjoyed the food, but you can get good food and friendly service elsewhere.

Relaxing atmosphere, including some lovely background 50s/60s music. Fresh food and plenty of GF options. Fast and attentive service. Massive windows along the high street so brilliant for watching the world go by while enjoying a delicious Latte (which comes with a shortbread). The salad that came with my panini was amazing too. Will be going back to try a cream tea soon..

Just had a lovely cream tea but had a corner of my partners lovely crab sandwich to be reprimanded on leaving advising me I would have to pay a £5 surcharge if I did it again. You are not allowed to share food. Is that legal? Not Even a taste! Won't be coming back now. Shame because the food was lovely. And we are local to the area.

We came across this tea room while wandering Ringwood in the rain and we were not disappointed! We had cream teas (very impressed that they had gluten free scones!) which were of excellent quality and value.

A beautiful place to sit and enjoy a variety of lite bites and lunch. Lovely coffee and reasonably priced ice cream for my little one. Child friendly as well. An asset to Ringwood. We love our Mummy & Daughter trips each week.

Whilst delivering to the wonderful Jacquie+ Stuart+ Adele+Alice i had enough time to savour a delicious freshly baked out of the oven homemade beef+ onion pie! Well.......let me tell you, it was amazing! Will 100% be eating there again. Lovely happy clean staff + premises! Good work.

Family run with friendly service & attention to detail, Jacquelines is a homely tearoom offering a great selection of cakes, light lunches & drinks. My favourite lunchtime choice is their healthy half brown baguette with a side salad. On this occasion it was a special cream tea - delicious, warm apricot scone with apricot jam & fresh cream! Served with a brandy snap & a few slices of strawberries made this extra special. Scone was one of the best I have tasted & enjoyed chopped apricot pieces & jam rather than Strawberry jam for a change.

Really disappointed with our beef and onion pie and our chicken ham and leek pie today. Neither tasted very good - chicken pie very sweet plus mediocre veg. Not good value for money.

Just a few minutes from the main road. Jacqueline's has a great offering from tea and cake through to a light lunch. The cakes look homemade. I had a panini which was great with plenty of filling. Served with a nice fresh dressed side salad. Washed down with a pot of tea. Perfect. Forgot to take a pic of the Dorset apple cake. Oops. Suffice to say it was lovely. So much nicer than any of the coffee chains that are on the high street. This offers a personal service that is so lovely.

A great little place to stop for cream tea. Lovely staff, too. And really great value for money. Definitely recommend for all!

Popped in today for the first time and was greeted by really lovely ladies whom not only were polite but also really welcoming.

Great variety, a lovely community feel, decent portions and old-time music. We had a nice little romantic catch up. Big up the non-chain tea room!

With an appeal to those who enjoy a friendly, homely atmosphere, this affordable tea room offers a great selection for all including gluten-free & vegan options.

Good food with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The first café I've been in that not only serves white tea but knows how to serve it.

I love this cafe. It is very friendly and cosy. The sandwiches come with an excellent garnish - not your usual limp lettuce - it includes pieces of fruit such as pineapple and kiwi. I even had a small garnish with a bowl of soup (the soup was delicious too). The mismatching crockery add to its charm. So nice to go to an old-fashioned cafe instead of the soulless chains that are taking over.

Toasted sarnies perfectly acceptable. Going to the loo is a bit unnerving though as you can see the person in it! The stuff for sale in the cabinets is a little strange. Service is fine, but it won't be on our list of places to visit again.

Come here with family. It's amazing and there is a lovely selection of cakes and the hot chocolate is fab. See photo

Go there to relax amongst friendly staff , nice atmosphere . Good selection of cakes . On the high Street so very good location to visit the town . Breakfast and luncheon served.

You must try this tea room if visiting ringwood, lovely sumptous hot chocolate, amazing cakes, with plenty of lunch bites on the menu - tall poppy mugs served with the hot chocolate, would love to know where they came from ? Thanks for the food we will be back

Popped in this lovely, inviting tea room a few weeks ago with my folks.

Enjoyed a lovely family lunch here. Good choice of Gluten Free options. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

I love this cafe! The owners are very sweet and offer really good service. I love the classic look of the tearoom with traditional looking teapots and cups and nostalgic music playing in the background. But I love it even more because they offer gluten free options and are well aware of how to prepare food preventing CC. The cutest part is the little treat that comes with every tea or coffee.

This is a lovely tea and coffee shop superb friendly staff family run tasty treats all in all excellent very highly recommended .

Popped in for lunch today while having a wander round Ringwood. Had a baguette each, one ham and cheese, one chicken and bacon. Came with an unusual but very nice side salad. Very happy with both. Friendly service and reasonably priced, especially with the 20% off flyers they were handing out.

Don't really know the area, but we're delighted with the lunch here. Great Panini's and best side salad I have had in ages, all at reasonable prices.

lovely little café, dog friendly and a happy place to be, tea and cakes and sandwiches fantastic choice, lovely décor and plates and cups. clean and friendly. will be back next time I visit

Where do I start good bits first nice tea nice toast fast and friendly service good value for money dodgy bits lace table cloth fried eggs only cooked on one side bits of tat all over the place having said that I did eat it all and left a tip there's a lot of choice in Ringwood and you could do a lot worse than eating here

Lovely atmosphere .Wonderfully clean. Instant service and a good variety of food.Staff are great and will help. A nice change from today's copycat eateries. Do go in and enjoy. I will deffo be going there again

Nice little place to pop in and have a tasty sandwich. Had a beautifully made salad on the side with a really nice dressing and added bits of fruit that made all the little bit more special.

Lovely little cafe, hot drinks, homemade soups, toasties etc. Simple but nice. Staff friendly and dogs welcome too. Gifts for sale too.

after walking through Ringwood high street ,needing a nice cup of tes and some thing to eat we came across jacquelines . lovely warm welcome .,and lovely food which came very fast and hot ,a pot of tea for one ,with china cup ,my partner got three cups of tea from ,I had a hot chocolate which tasted like hot chocolate and a flake on the side of the plate lovely touch and very nice . thank you for a lovely afternoon will be back xxxx

I often visit Jacquelines with elderly people that i work with, the proper tea in proper china teacups and warm welcome makes every visit a joy, nothing is too much trouble and a seat by the large window makes for perfect "people watching"!

Ok. I am sure the regulars love it.I just found the place odd.Busy decor.Chintzy.Couldn't decide who it was marketed at.The coffees we had were fine just an odd ambience.

You are always assured of a genuinely friendly welcome in this convenient little cafe. The owner managers are really dedicated and are keen to ensure that all their clients leave happy. They have a selection of lovely cakes, good coffee and are very allergy aware, aiming to accommodate as many allergies as possible.

Excellent home made food very friendly and welcoming cafe. A really good place for a tasty snack. Our second visit to Ringwood and Jaquelines is a definite visit.

We visited Jaquline's for a quick cup of tea, it looked so clean and inviting from the outside. Once inside we were greeted by a very polite and friendly waitress who showed us to our table. Seeing the delightful cakes it was a sin to have a pot of tea without them, they were delicious. (The low calorie non fat ones were the best I understand, pity I could not find any!!!). All in all a very pleasant place to drink and spoil yourself on one (or two) of their very fine cakes.

Brilliant quirky tea room, fantastic staff very attentive. Made to feel very welcome food is fantastic really loved our tuna and cheese panini's and the very well presented cream teas that tasted devine. Cant believe how reasonably priced everything was. The hot chocolates are to die for couldnt have asked for better. Well worth a visit. Would go out of our way to go there again. 100% recommend this tea room.

Stopped in for a cream tea on the way home from holiday. What a lovely place - the lady serving (I think she's the owner), was so friendly and welcoming. Ordered cream teas for 4 - less than £20! That was the first shock - the price was reasonable. The second shock was when they arrived. Beautifully presented - I wish I had taken photos. Good sized scone, dish of butter, dish of jam, dish of clotted cream, fresh strawberries and a brandy snap! Also a biscuit in each saucer to have with your tea (or coffee). I actually couldn't manage my biscuit, lol!

Well we had another very nice meal and afternoon today. A very nice experience. Well recommended and well worth a visit next time you are in Ringwood. Such a nice setting, with friendly staff only to pleased to help and offer advice.

What a little gem! We stumbled on this lovely little place whilst holidaying in the area. There were seven of us, three small children, a teenager and three adults. As soon as we entered we were made to feel very welcome. They moved an extra table into the area we had chosen, to accommodate all of us comfortably.

I really like it here and we often pop in. Tea and coffee both really good with lots of choice and a nice biscuit to boot! Food is always fresh and all at very reasonable prices. Service is extremely friendly and efficient. However, as much as like it I'm not sure about all the "stuff" around - but maybe that's just me. Also I think it would look so much better with nice crisp white tablecloths. I'm sorry Jacqueline but I can't like the plastic ones. Having said that I still think it's the nicest cafe/restaurant in Ringwood for its personal service.

Very friendly staff,food all fresh,our favourite place for coffee,milkshake,hot chocolate.the toasted sandwich has a lovely fresh side salad.

We were recommended to try the cream tea - excellent recommendation. We all enjoyed the food and we were offered tea top-ups. All they need to do is buy a decent printer and do away with the handwritten signs.......

Popped in here for an emergency late lunch after a long drive from London to the New Forest. The sandwich was fresh and generous with a nice helping of salad on the side. The room at the front is bright and quirky and very pleasant on a sunny day. We refrained from cake, but I wish we hadn't, as they looked exceptional, and there was loads of choice. Next time!

We like Ringwood, but hadn't found a favourite place to eat - until today. Jacqueline's is run by a friendly family team, offering tasty food at a very reasonable price. To top it all, they offer a good gluten free option - something that is still quite hard to find in tea shops these days.

Went in today, had two egg mayo sandwiches which were really lovely, the bread was very soft with lots of filling. Came with a salad that had lovely bits of fruit in it and a really good dressing.

Visited this during a recent break. Felt very welcome and the service was friendly and quick.

We visted this place as when it was oh lala chocolate it was brilliant however it's been taken over over has a very oldy worldy in a not really vintagey feel to it which kinda makes me cringe sorry old music was playing and they sometimes have stuffed teddies hanging in in the window not not sure what that's all about however saying that if thats what you like fab go for it as the staff are very friendly and the food is ok but for us we wont be visiting again but fortunately ringwood does boast a lot of cafes.

Visited today with my children; chocolate milkshakes and chocolate fudge cake for them and a piece of carrot cake and tea for me - in a proper china cup and saucer, with a biscuit on the side! All absolutely scrummy!

Very friendly and comfortable surroundings. The cream tea was excellent and good value. Will definitely visit again

All the staff were very friendly and obliging. The location is good and the premises is very clean. Well behaved dogs are welcome. We had a cream tea and can not fault the presentation and quality. Generous amounts of cream with a freshly cut strawberry as edible decoration. Will visit again, good value.

Great location, window tables offer great opportunity to people watch.
