Poppins New Milton in New Forest

Visited today, staff very welcoming. Cooked breakfast was very good, love that you also get marmalade with 2 rounds of toast with it as well. They had other breakfast options on their specials board too. Good value for money. Would certainly visit again. Thankyou.

So disappointed with the attitude of staff in this restaurant. We were regulars but will not be returning or recommending after taking friends there and being embarrassed and humiliated by their response to a complaint. Staff should always ask if customers have allergies before taking orders. It is not sufficient to write a disclaimer on your menu without also clearly stating where allergens are present. When a customer returns a dish complaining that it contains a known allergen and asking for a replacement meal, any reputable restaurant should immediately oblige without question. Instead we faced a condescending and arrogant member of staff arguing and questioning our request. Appallingly poor customer service. Rest assured I will tell everyone I know to avoid.

Great breakfast, excellent coffee. Loads of space. Perfect for family’s Cheapest breakfast in the area. Really friendly staff will look after you with a smile

Eggs undercooked, when asked to change them the waitress give us attitude and huffed at us. I came in here a couple of days ago and had the worst breakfast I've ever had in here

ordered a bacon sandwich, was caught with a surprise of hair in my bread. we told the server, she got the cook. he asked if i wanted anything else, but got no apology. don’t recommend coming here

This cafe looked a tiny bit dated from the outside and our expectations weren't high. However, we were thrilled to find such an amazing business. The food was excellent and the menu varied, the staff were impeccable, professional, friendly and polite. The hygiene standard both in the main seating area and the toilets was fantastic. The service was amazingly efficient. My husband and I were so thrilled to find a cafe that excels in all areas. Neither of us can remember such a discovery, certainly not for decades, if ever before. We can honestly recommend Poppins 100%. This business truly deserves to flourish.

Tried to order a child’s meal and was refused it. Told him that it should really be written on the menu where he processed to snatch it out my hand, show me a different menu and said it was on there. It still didn’t say anything about not allowing over 10s to not have a children’s meal. Usually I wouldn’t mind but it was the lack of respect and no apology. Just straight up rude. At least the chips are nice

Fantastic friendly staff and tasty food and a well made cup of tea and great service that now seems to be lacking these days in so many establishments

So I ordered a mega Breakfast/Hot chocolate like I always do at Poppins & I can’t believe how much they vary from Cafe to Cafe city to city.. So on this visit to New Milton it was chargrilled- No signs saying they use a chargrill but it was cooked to a crisp, The mushrooms over cooked to a crisp,The Tomatoe blackened & the worst of all the bacon totally overcooked shrivelled It was like having a BBQ breaky.. The beans were cold & Hash brown re heated (They even burnt the toast to much that the waitress insisted that a new batch cooked so I had to wait 5/6 mins longer) A slight improvement on my last visit but def not the standard you would expect to pay £10.50 for a decent breaky The Hot chocolate was Luke warm which was a shame but hey I know in future that I’ll have to look for somewhere else for a decent breaky in New Milton as sorry I don’t like Chargrilled Breaky but if you do carry on and visit here..

Came for breakfast with 2 children. They didn’t seem to do a specific child’s breakfast so ordered 2 of the smaller breakfasts for them. As these came with mushrooms and tomato which my grandchildren won’t eat, I asked to swap these for beans which were included on the breakfast I was having. To my surprise I was told this would cost extra, they couldn’t have beans. If they wanted to swap it would have to be with something already included in their breakfast! Absolutely ridiculous! One had an extra egg which they did not eat and the other had extra bacon which they did not eat! Surely it would have been cheaper for the cafe to swap to beans? They were on the menu for other dishes so surely not a big ask? The food was cheap and cheerful but the service was quick. I don’t think I will bother to come back here though.

I called into New Milton on a Bank Holiday to find all the major stores, such as they are, closed. This was a tad annoying as I had checked the websites before heading off. Denied my usual cafe that I use on my rare visits to the town, I strolled along the High Street, much in need of a coffee, and found Poppins. It was open and empty. Never have I seen such a scrupulously clean cafe. Staff were busy wiping down tables and menus and cleaning walls and decor, this despite the lack of custom, or maybe because the lack of custom. The decor was modern but very smart and the staff attentive. The menu was very varied and I was tempted to try out the pancakes. Very good other than I was disappointed that they had no cherry filling left. I hadn't realised at the time that this is a franchise, but I would recommend this as a good place to take breakfast or lunch, even when it's not empty.

Basic surroundings otherwise excellent, the food is good and fairly priced, the staff are friendly and efficient, great coffee. It is like being in an 80s time warp but we like it

Sunday morning, and we fancied a fry up. Only really went here by default as most places we know of nearby don’t open until later on Sundays. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was served in good time and was piping hot throughout, tasty and well presented. We were both pleasantly surprised and will more than likely make a return trip.

Wow What’s happened to Poppins in New Milton- I visit all the Poppins across the south coast & prob are a good judge of there food.(Havant,Southampton,Boscombe) I always have the Ultimate Big Breakfast with a fizzy Orange with extra Bacon.. What they served me was a complete mess tbh & Not what I get served in the other Poppins.. *The Hash brown had been re heated so much it was in edible.. *The egg was Green.. *The Beans were rock hard/Cold.. *Bacon was off cuts that you cut from outside of the main Bacon & very streaky (disgusting) Even the Fizzy orange didn’t Taste right for some reason.. What’s happened to the lush Chunky bacon that I always get served in Poppins or the 2 Fluffy Hash browns I can pop my egg on or tasty bake beans I can dip my toast in. PICTURES DONT LIE (see pic) If Management/owners reading this Your cutting corners with cheaper substitutes & it’s Showing to make a quick buck- £9.40 is what you charged me for something I wouldn’t feed my Cat.. Shut the doors or let someone run this Poppins as your ruin there reputation..

Called in by chance for Birthday breakfast, due to the cafe at the motorcycle museum being take away breakfast rolls only!!!, received excellent service, good choice, good breakfast at good price, will definitely call here again, would recommend

we come here a lot and it has great service and great food would 100% recommend. we always have a blast coming here too.

We are only able to call in to Poppins when visiting friends locally. Never disappoints!! Amazing cooked breakfast. All fresh and piping hot. Best latte anywhere!! Staff efficient and friendly. If I lived locally I would be a certain regular customer. Well done all staff.

Been here loads of times- staff always polite- coffee good and hot- and every dish I have ordered has been served in good time and piping hot. Place is very clean- good selection on menu and specials board- this is a very good cafe.

Have been here several times and the standard never drops. Food is basic but well presented. Ultra efficient staff and spotless conditions, make it a pleasure to eat there.

The waiter knocked a boiling hot cup of tea over my mum, when placing a plate of chips on the table. Our food was cold by the time we ate it,they charged full price including for mum's tea and a replacement drink, we never received an apology from the staff . My mum is 89 yrs old who suffers from dementia and this action really upset her

We went there recently with my husband aunt. All meals were of a good size and served quickly. There is a good choice including vegetarian and a children's menu. They also serve cakes, cream teas, ice creams . My husbands aunt had ham, egg and chips. My husband had curry and chips and i had fishcakes in a dill sauce. All perfectly cooked. Friendly service and very clean. Also the drinks were hot! We went to Costa the day before and they were tepid.

Average quick food outlet, nothing special, service average. No personal touch here, not my sort of lunch place, just a quick fast food outlet.

Looks more like a cafe than a restaurant with a very bright interior and has a few tables on the pavement outside the front.A comprehensive selection of hot and cold drinks + breakfast, lunch and snacks etc all served all day. Quick and friendly service from all staff.The staff are all turkish and the restaurant is part of a chain with premises located mainly in the south of england.Always busy, reliable and value for money.

Went for breakfast withy friend, breakfast was average, asked to swap the mushroom due to an allergy for another tomato and the guy serving refused, staff are friendly with the exception of one or two.Don't visit if you you have a baby or young children in a pram as they get funny about you having prams in there.

Come here quite regularly for a breakfast....always enjoy, but side of mushrooms is always on the stingy side, excellent service, and food always comes out really quickly

Lovely cafe excellent service and food. Really clean and lovely staff. We will definitely be back again.

Good food and friendly staff make this a good place to eat. We usually go there for late breakfast on a Saturday which is freshly cooked and tasty. Even when it is really busy the service is as fast as possible.

Come here regularly for breakfast. They do a great priced special with tea or coffee included. Perfect to set you up for the day. Accomadate any changes easily. You can even have chips at breakfast if you want. Nothing too much trouble. Full menu available all the time. Friendly staff.

This cafe is an ideal place to pop in and get a quick hot meal or snack. Table service is very efficient and the food is freshly prepared and nicely cooked. This Poppins Cafe Restaurant is operated by a Turkish family who are very friendly and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. My wife had cut her finger whilst looking at Christmas Cards locally and the staff very kindly found a sticking plaster from their first aid box to stem the bleeding so that my wife could enjoy her lunch. We ordered bacon, double egg & chips plus a Spanish omelette with chips and peas - both were absolutely delicious and perfectly washed down with a lovely pot of tea. Thank you for your kindness; we will definitely be back !!

This little high street restaurant serves freshly cooked breakfasts, lunches or snacks, waiter service, quick service, on the ball staff, I visit this busy little restaurant regularly, is always busy but never have to wait for food or seats and service is second to none as well as being reasonably priced, great for breakfast, burgers, lasagne or if you just want coffee and cake or sandwich they will accommodate. A must try for all. Great for all the family

Traveling from Surrey to Portland good place to stop for breakfast. Good service and food. Easy parking.

We were greeted in a friendly manner and had our order taken without delay, after a hearty breakfast I only wanted a snack so opted for a bacon sarnie. My better half opted for Scampi.

Love this place. Kids meals, served quickly, for £2.95.

Part of a small local chain but much better than many chain cafes. Friendly prompt service Typical cafe menu but more extensive than many. Two or three daily black board dishes and fresh soup in the winter

Wide selection of mostly english dishes at a very reasonable prices. I had chicken curry with chips and rice. Smallish portion. Soggy, lumpy rice. Fortunately, I am a carnivore and I didnt really mind. You get what you pay for. My wife had a gammon steak which was delicious. Very friendly staff. Will return.

home cooked, hearty meals at a reasonable price. Service is always good, place is always packed out. A good place to stop with younger family members.

Tuvimos una comida aquí hace unas pocas semanas en un concurrido Sábado mediodía, a pesar de estar muy ocupados que tenía tomaron el pedido rápidamente. El personal era servicial, pero la mayoría de todo el salmón y verduras que tuve con salsa de eneldo era delicioso mi marido tenía el "inglés" que disfrutamos. Valoré mi deliciosa comida tan a menudo que se puede encontrar salmón hecha pero este pez era perfectamente cocinado las verduras un poco crujiente y la salsa sabrosa todas para mi gusto.

Acabamos de regresar de New Forest y aparecimos a Mary Poppins. Un fantástico lugar para conseguir un rápido aperitivo/comida. Hay mucha variedad y no tienes que esperar demasiado tiempo. Había tanta variedad, que nos pareció difícil elegir! Hay el tocino y huevos comidas (varias opciones), patatas chaqueta con relleno, baguettes, tortillas, tés, etc., etc. También tienen niños tamaño de las comidas. Estoy seguro de que si usted visita aquí, entonces no te decepcionará.

Well to do New Milton,this is a little gem.Great restaurant,good food,such a wide range of menu,why eat anywhere else,when there is a pippins in town?

Si quieres comer sano no puedes equivocarte con la ensalada de queso, pero no puedo evitar tener sus excelentes patatas fritas. Pastel de té y taza de té tostado y agradable toque la máquina montada de hielo crema. No nativos en la principal, pero muy encantador y difícil y esto puede explicar molestia clientes en comentar la ganancia de peso. Sí que puede resultar molesto a menos que un ex anoréxico. Se equivocan tratando de hacerlo bien (siendo amable). Abierto frente agradable en los días caluroso.

Went here 21st October with a friend for breakfast which was ok I used to visit here regularly with either friend or family members and got friendly with staff I haven't visit in a long time and staff remember me but to have a member of staff say oh you look like you've gained weight was humiliating in front of my friend and I'm a paying customer not a friend of theirs I will never be visiting that restaurant ever again

My friend and I recently had breakfast at the Poppin, and we were so disappointed with the breakfast, we could not eat it. It was really not nice. We will not be having breakfast there again.

Utiliza este restaurante varias veces en nuestra estancia en la localidad. El personal es muy amable y eficiente. Hay mucha variedad de comida.

The special English breakfast (with blood pudding of you want it) for 5.49 includes a Lavazza flat white coffee. So the breakfast is about 3.20 ,very good. Probably the best deal in town.

Came here a while ago,Great standard food!Thanks to some great staff as well.If you driving by then its worth popping in to poppins ;).good price as well.

This welcoming and bright cafe, Poppins, has had a complete refurbishment with American Diner style seating since we were last here, and this means that it has a more cosy feel than previously. You may sit where you wish and the waiter is soon over to take your order. On the extensive Menu or on the Specials Board there seems to be something for everyone and the customers range from senior citizens, families with young children and babies, to couples, teenagers and singles. The meals and drinks orders are soon prepared, therefore not too much waiting time for the customers although, on the other hand, you can just relax and take your time and watch the world go by if you so wish. There is a small amount of outside seating, ideal for dogs to have a rest too. We enjoyed our light lunch very much and the prices are good. The cafe is situated in the main parade of shops in New Milton and there is road side parking and a car park around the corner, or a bus stop close by, or the train station just up the road, and it is all level walking.

I regularly take my children here for lunch or a drink. It is their favourite café ever - probably because they get a lolly when we pay!Food is good value. Its a bit like the old Wimpy cafes.Cheap and cheerful.

This is a great little find in my hometown. It has been recently refurbished in a style that is reminiscent of a US Diner or a 60s/70s UK café.The seating is mostly arranged in booths similar to a US Diner, with brightly coloured vinyl seating and formica tables. Above the serving area are illuminated pictures of some meals from the menu.We noted that the café/diner is extremely clean as were the modern toilets. Tables were all clean and like new, as were the seatsThere is a good selection of traditional café meals on the menu with good size portions. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere relaxed, even on the times when there have been a few customers dining when we visited.

We visited Poppins for lunch whilst visiting New Milton.The 1st thing you notice (other than lots of customers) is the cleanliness of the place. The restaurant was busy but we got a table straight away.The menu has a wide choice of dishes suitable for most tastes and we didn't have to wait too long for our food.The food was presented nicely and tasted great. It was all fresh and the portions were of a good size.My son opted for a mini breakfast which he loved and was quick to tell the staff this and said we will be back soon. Poppins is a lovely family run restaurant and is definitely well worth a visit,we will be back for sure.

Went in for lunch ended up just ordering chips and a ice cream sundae , found the service to be efficient and the cafe was well presented and clean, food was very reasonably priced, my only complaint would be the chocolate milkshake i ordered which tasted very bland however the quick service and cheap food made up for this.

We enjoyed excellent morning coffees & tea cakes; full of flavour & hot. Lovely service. A friendly place, clean, clearly with plenty of regulars. Good value too.

Eat here frequently- food always served hot and very nice coffee. Staff are polite and this is very thing you could want from a cafe/restaurant- good food- served hot- friendly staff- very good.

Happy and efficient stall. Great basic menu selection for a quick meal.Quick service in a very clean and cafe with good decor.Excellent meal.

Poppins looked like a typical Italian cafe so I went in and ordered lunch. I ordered the Lasagne and a drink. The waiter took my order, but it had not occurred to me that a standard homemade lasagne would have such a strange addition. I started to eat it and wondered what was the strange taste. I lifted up a layer to see what was in it. I noticed the peas immediately, and thought 'weird ' and carried on trying to eat the Lasagne. Eventually I had to give up as the over powering sweet taste of tinned peas ruined what might have been a good lasagne. Having read other TripAdvisor reviews it looks like I just made a bad choice.

Three stars for this establishment as the food was good and the waiter service was good, what has reduced the mark was that when we came to pay, they did not want to accept our Scottish bank notes. This is disappointing that after a referendum to stay in the UK, there are business owners who do not know legal tender.

Had a wonderful breakfast this weekend with friends,all had full english,in great location in New Milton High Street,Staff very friendly and very quick after ordering,Very Enjoyable.

Poppins is a haven of rest and nourishment for us and we often go there. It is well run and we especially like the staff, so friendly and efficient and the Latte is the best in town! Chris & Viv xx

There's no getting it wrong at Poppins, very friendly staff, an agreeable menu which can be adapted to suit your needs (I wanted a jacket potato instead of chips - no problem, they said!) acceptable surroundings (Although I wouldn't recommend it for a date!) and very nice, clean new toilet facilities. Nothing wrong with grabbing a bite to eat, a nice coffee and a smile from the waiters here! Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

Every time we go to Highcliffe we always stop here for breakfast. It it freshly cooked, not at all fatty and you even get a free biscuit with your coffee. Brilliant service with brilliant food.

When we arrived, one of our party needed a Sprite/7-Up urgently - it was rushed to our table - so kindly.One of us wanted Cottage Pie with gravy but no other veggies; the other home-made Chicken Curry w/rice but no chips.Both piping hot; both exactly as ordered.Since we last visited this location there has been a significant remodel: new toilets, new floor tiling.So this combines the olde-worlde themes of the 'milk bars' of long ago with modern, spotless updates.The kitchen area is streamlined too.Although we visited for dinner; we surely will be back at other times for more meals here.

Great little cafe on the high street. Lavazza coffee makes great lattes. Food is za also good and reasonableFood

This a very pleasant cafe where the staff are very friendly and efficient- the food tasty and hot- and the prices very good- nice coffee- very good all around.

Myself and my partner frequented this friendly cafe whilst visiting New Milton, Hampshire. We both ordered the home cooked shepherds pie and were delighted with what we received. The shepherds pie was delicious with plenty of meat and potatoes. The shepherds pie came with an accompaniment of two roast potatoes and freshly cooked veg. We just had enough room after our dinner to polish of a delicious lemon meringue and strawberry sundae. The food in this cafe is plentiful and tasty and also good value.Tip: check the daily special board and you won't be dissappointed.
