Ritual Feast in New Forest

We went to celebrate my daughters Birthday I ordered sausage and mash and it was disgusting the sausages were obviously cheap catering sausages I could only manage to eat a quarter of one after finding a large piece of gristle and I paid £9.00 for a dreadful pudding which consisted of a microwaved chocolate sponge pudding with the smallest amount of ice cream. Very disappointed !!

Visited here this past Sunday to sample the roast dinner..what a pleasant suprise!... nice local pub with lots of character...really helpful and friendly bar staff and the dinner was top notch and good value..will definately be visiting again for Sunday roast and drinks! 😀

Positive atmosphere, staff are amazing !!!was served buy two lovely ladies kayligh and josie 😁 they alway serve witha smile !!! HIGHLY recommend

I wasn't convinced about this pub because of the UPVC door entrance and slightly outdated appearance but is was so wrong! The bar staff were so lovely and friendly and the food was awesome. Properly homemade, very generous portions and super tasty. Would TOTALLY recommend! And great value too.

Spent an enjoyable 3 nights at Balmer Lawn but not sure we'd stay again. Hotel is quite local to us and a place we are familiar with and in lovely location in heart of New Forest. Staff were very friendly and attentive, breakfast was good with plenty of choice, dinner in the restaurant was very good, use of local produce always a bonus. However, we thought our room on the top floor was very drab and certainly not what we would expect from a 4* hotel. It was also noisy as above the outside terrace area and facing the very busy through road. Housekeeping was very good but there was no mini fridge to keep drinks cold or safe for valuables. The bathroom was small and having to climb into a bath to shower is not acceptable or safe. I did raise the issue of poor quality pillows and having a nice fluffy pillow would add to sleep quality.
