Pit Stop in New Forest

Visited the Sail inn with my uncle who lives in Lymington. Previous experience at the pub had been very good however this visit has left a very poor taste in the mouth. While the fish and chips were adequate the use of some sort of paper to "soak up the oil" from the food was less than appetizing for my uncle who is elderly. While the stated serving hours were 12 to 3pm when I requested dessert and coffees we were told the kitchen was closed as the chef "had to be somewhere" Given the choice of quality establishments in Lymington we obviously regretted choosing The Sail Inn and won't be doing so in the future - the fact there was no warning that the kitchen was closing early is annoying however the actual decision to shut early on a Friday lunchtime in a competive marketplace is beyond me.

Popped in here for a breakfast, all the tables had ‘reserved ‘on them( a sign of a good place!) and we told the staff we were just after brekkie though it was nearing lunchtime. They reconfigured a table so we could eat and we had a lovely full english, quality sausages nice bread etc. will always go back there when we visit the forest

Just had the mushrooms on sourdough with Morcilla. Flavour was amazing. Recommend extra bacon too.

Great service. Lovely food, good atmosphere

Een gezellige pub in het centrum van Fordingbridge, gastvrije bediening en gasten, maar helaas niet erg lekker eten. De fish and chips waren wat ons betreft niet van erg goede kwaliteit, en de plakkerige tafels hielpen ook niet mee. Ik zou hier terugkomen als ik met vrienden biertjes zou willen drinken, niet om met mijn gezin uit eten te gaan
