Rose and Crown in New Forest

Terrific food and service. Mine host was brilliant. Plenty of good humour and banter. Come here if you like a friendly atmosphere coupled with excellent quality food.

Service and food were excellent. Disappointed that the pizza oven has now been closed down permanently and that the menu choices have been significantly reduced.

Pedro provided fantastic service. Quality food as well! Pie was fantastic. Will be back again. Couldn’t have had a more positive experience.

We booked for dinner yesterday and had a lovely time. The menu was unfortunately missing a fair few items but this was very understandable due to it being New Years Day and supplies being low! The staff went out of their way to ensure we...

Booked for Christmas Day lunch. Really looked forward to this as had never been out for Christmas lunch. It’s a lovely pub and the staff were fine. Think maybe short staffed. Was surprised no Christmas music playing, not a great atmosphere generally. For the money...

Staff very good. Food average. The thing that upset things was bad was other customers. Went in for a quite meal and other customers didn’t respect other customers they were very loud and children were badly behaved won’t be going there in a hurry again

Booked last minute when we were in town, great food and service. Chicken liver pate was a must. It was a great evening and a really cozy and friendly environment.

Had booked a table for lunch with friends which didn’t turn out well. We arrived and ordered our food. 20 mi utes later we were told one of the dishes was now no longer available. We waited another 40 minutes before starters arrived. Mains were...

Rang the night before to book a table for a meal - answerphone so left a message asking to book plus number to ring back. They never did. Called at the pub to charge the car and my wife went in make enquiry. The guy...

We went for Christmas Day lunch everything was excellent As we were staying in the area for for a few days and have been to this pub a number of times before Staff were lovely and food was all good we will be back in...

Love this pub, it's our go-to eatery in Brockenhurst as the staff , atmosphere and food are always spot-on. In particular the staff are really on the ball and so friendly, nothing is too much trouble. We look forward to our return visit next year!

A delicious breakfast. A peaceful nights sleep. The room was small but pleasant, the bed was also small and on casters so moved around and the shower gel dispenser didn't work.

We chose to have our wedding welcome party at the Huntsman of Brockenhurst in November. We had about 50 people and a buffet in the skittle alley events room. It was a fantastic evening- the room looked amazing with lots of tea lights lit and...

It was so lovely to be welcomed into a pub that still serves food beyond 3pm! Great service. We both had the burger and chips. Homemade and tasty. It had such a cosy feel to the pub with the log burner keeping us warm. We...

Amazing food and 5* service from Amy. Thank you! The decor is also stunning. We will be back in the future!

Outstanding Sunday Roast! Visited this cosy establishment on Sunday for a get together with friends (booked in advance) The smell of mulled wine and Cosy fires on entering were lovely ! Very busy but looked organised and efficient’The service was excellent (lovely lady from Portugal...

Disaster, burgers were like McDonald’s happy meal, chicken supreme was dry, given cold gravy, manager very rude, not much good to say - plenty of nicer places to eat in Brockenhurst, we won’t be going back. Shame as it used to be a lovely place...

We had a social event here for over 40 people at lunchtime. The staff were helpful, friendly and attentive, the food was very good and they made every effort to meet our needs. The menu was varied and individuals could choose from the lunch menu...

Excellent value and really tasty and fresh food served pretty quickly Staff attentive and friendly so nice experience thanks

Lovely cozy pub with friendly staff and yummy food. The pizza was huge with enough to take home . Lovely selection of drinks . Thanking

Many thanks to Micaela and her colleague who made both our evening meals wonderful experiences. The food was fabulous, and the ambiance was warm and friendly. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay and will certainly return.

Excellent service by Nicola. Delicious food and lovely atmosphere. Perfect Sunday in the most beautiful setting. Thank you!

We had a lovely meal with exceptional service, Amy was brilliant, we were quite a large group with some demanding ladies!!! And Amy was fantastic Thank you very much 😃

We stayed overnight here for 2 nights to attend a wedding and ate breakfast one morning. Let’s start with the pros: Clean room, helpful and friendly manager who was very accommodating regarding my food allergies. That was really reassuring. The breakfast was very good and...

Attentive staff, lovely venue and - most importantly - delicious food! Cannot rate the place highly enough.

Abbi was great - very accommodating; when we asked if there was any alternative to the vegan burger on the Sunday lunch menu she customised a meal to suit the dietary requirements of my partner who was very happy with his vegan Sunday roast!

We had complained a few weeks ago about a decline in the service at the Huntsman. However this time things were back to the previous high standards. Great service and nice food. Well done everyone!

We had a wonderful lunch here. The staff were welcoming, in particular Ann and Abi. The food was delicious. We will definitely return.

Lovely welcome we were really looking forward to eating here..but the wait to be served seemed like ages when the waitress finally came over she asked was there anything we needed! Bit of a strange question to be asked when we were clearly waiting to...

Great Pizza, good cocktail, and great service. The wood fired pizzas are fantastic, and the service was great, Amy was attentive, polite and friendly.

We stayed here for my husbands birthday 2 night ago. Had a great welcome and the room was spotless. The service at the bar was a very friendly atmosphere. We had a great restful sleep and a lovely breakfast in the morning. I would highly...

Lovely country pub, proper fire, great food and hospitality. Halloumi starters for me and my partner were so tasty and had a good spice with fresh chilli and the chilli jam. The pizzas were delicious, lovely and crispy, good toppings. Excellent service and happy to...

Went for an evening meal while on holiday and though not a bad experience is was very underwhelming and nothing to make us recommend it or to go back. The main positive was the young lad who served us - he was great - enthusiastic...

The Huntsman has been a firm favourite for a while now - somewhere we've recommended to friends and family visiting us here in the New Forest, and that we've always enjoyed coming to for the food, service and atmosphere. Unfortunately based on our experience last...

Very disappointing. Room drab and lighting to poor to read. Brakfasts cost £15 each and were very poor value. Breakfasts very poor. Bad luck if you wanted Continental- no yogurt or fruit, no cheese or ham no bread. Cooked breakfast had streaky bacon not back....

Disappointed by meal. We decided to eat at the restaurant based on the website menu which differed to in-house. No fish and chips available. The food served was bland and disappointing- burgers very small; chip portions small and chips hard and not hot. Fish dish...

Stayed overnight in a small guest room at the Huntsman. Some selfish person ran the shower/water taps in the next room into the small hours deafening noise. Had to listen to an audio book to block it out. Since this is a restaurant with rooms...

Stayed 2 Nights in October. Very disappointed. Room drab with poor lighting and tiny bathroom, Breakfast extremely poor especially if you wanted a Continental. No yogurt or fruit, or protein such as cheese or ham. Only streaky bacon in the cooked breakfast and miniscule hash...

We were visiting Brockenhurst and looking for a relaxed place to eat with good food. Booked on the basis of other reviews. Clearly a very popular and lively place judging by the number of people and noise, but the staff were efficient, friendly and coped...

£15.95 I was charged for one slice of cauliflower, a quarter of an onion and approx 10g of overcooked beans. Absolute rip off. Manager agreed and said it was an embarrassment that they served that but it was head office’s rules. My ‘apology’ was a...

We had lunch booked for 1pm at The Huntsman, a pub we had visited previously. As it was a Monday, they were not busy, so as it was a lovely day we sat on a tall table in the patio area. The waitress was very...

Arrival & Room: Checked in really quickly, directed to our room. Room was cosy as described and in hindsite I would have booked a bigger bed. Really nice room regardless and really welcoming lighting. Tea and coffee facilities were good, we did not use the...

I’ve eaten here a few times and the food is always good as it was this time. The bar was fairly busy with lots of couples only ruined by the manager interviewing people on the phone at one of the tables all through dinner. Really...

What a fantastic atmosphere to have an evening meal with friends ☺️🥂 food was amazing and staff were so attentive it really made our night to have such great service. We will definitely be back 👍🏻

My wife and I decided to eat here having popped in the previous evening for a drink in the bar when we felt the ambiance was quite good. This was pleasingly carried over into the restaurant as well so the evening kicked off pleasantly. We...

We popped in while in the area and was found a table. We had early tried a nearby placed who said they had no tables even though it seemed there were plenty empty so was pleased the Huntsman found us a table. Staff were very...

We had a wonderful evening visiting the Huntsman of Brockenhurst. The food was excellent and the staff was really nice to us! I would definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely awful staff. So rude. We stayed for two nights and when we were leaving we asked to speak to manager about a few things that were wrong with our stay,as we were quite disappointed with alot of things with the room. We stayed for...

Whilst staying in Brockenhurst we came for a meal twice in this Pub. Absolutely loved it. Great food, amazing staff who were attentive, helpful and happy (especially Gracie- I think that’s her name). Definitely recommend and if we are back in the New Forest then...

We had a fantastic stay and meal in the Hunstman! I enjoy visiting The Hunstman with my family for Sunday lunch but I went with my friends for a girls night. We stayed one night in the courtyard rooms. The rooms were so spacious! The...

Food and atmosphere were lovely, really chill garden environment. Micaela was a fantastic server, couldn’t do more for us. Made our experience so pleasurable

This spot is great for a dinner spot from the local Hollands camp site. Service from Micaela was top knotch.

The food was yummy, Micaela was fantastic, thank you for a lovely night, you had us all laughing! Highly Recommend <3

I had a very pleasant experience during my recent visit. I last came here in 2019 and they had 1 vegan offering (which was good, but it's always great to have more choice). The menu has since changed and they now have a few interesting...

Stayed here for three nights and also ate and drank here over the course of 4 days. I found all the food that I had (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was absolutely second to none and the staff in the restaurant and bar couldn't have been...

Incredible roast and lovely staff. Thank you to Millie who went above and beyond. Highly recommend the beautiful garden. Dog friendly.

Lovely lunch with our family while staying in Brockenhurst. My 9 year old son said it was the best pizza he had ever had! We enjoyed the steak and maple pork chop and there was a good selection of kids meals.

6th time visiting the New Forest, been to the Huntsman before and it was very lovely. We came with friends (it was their first time here) and honestly it was not that great. Firstly, the staff are a bit rude and quite unhelpful. We asked...

Visited with my friends for some catch up drinks yesterday! My friends had ordered drinks at the bar and nuts, I asked for a glass of water due to not feeling well. The boy behind the bar got this for me and the manager came...

We werden verrast door deze gezellige tent. Prettige sfeer, aardig personeel. We zochten naar een plek om even snel iets...

We booked here for dinner as our other option was fully booked and they had availability I can now see why. The pub looks great well decorated and an amazing pub garden out back. Menu reads well with good options . Service was was disorganised...

Ein sehr schöner englischer Pub mit Biergarten. Gehobenes Pub-Food, sehr nette Mitarbeiter und schöne Atmosphäre.

We were worried after reading negative reviews recently. We have nothing negative in our stay ro comment on. The reception and Bar staff were all friendly and the Manager showed us out to our room Quail. In a lovely little courtyard. Not far from the...

Absolutely cannot fault the place stayed for one night and had dinner and breakfast whilst there.the food was fantastic paired with some well made cocktails, service was friendly and efficient. Nice choice at breakfast will definitely be returning!

Nice spot and beer garden, but despite loads of empty tables outside we got told to move to one without cutlery in a bucket on it as we weren’t planning to eat at that time. Not difficult to move the cutlery bucket if needed elsewhere?...

First visit. The food was terrible. I had sirloin . Ordered medium.rare was well.done and really tough. Asked for pepper sauce got the gravy from Sunday lunch with.lumps of undisolved thickener and a couple of.peppercrons. supposed to have mushroom with it got a stalk of...

Had dinner here twice while staying at Carey’s Manor up the road. Excellent service, super friendly staff, great atmosphere and good food. Would highly recommend.

Well, not great. We are colleagues who haven’t see each other in a year. We had starters, mains and wine. We ordered baileys coffee at the end of the afternoon, only to be told we’d “had enough” and they weren’t willing to serve us any...

We have been coming to this restaurant for years whilst camping at Hollands Wood Campsite, and always received great service and food, however I’m afraid our most recent visit will be our last. The waitress was disinterested and downright rude. On a previous visit I...

Came here with friends as we were camping down the road in Hollands Wood. Service was very poor with staff not understanding our order and half our party waiting a lot longer for their food meaning the other half of the party had finished by...

Always come here when staying in the area we had a lovely lunch as always staff were friendly We have booked for Christmas day

Visited during our stay in the New Forest last year and loved it, great selection of cocktails, friendly efficient staff despite the place being ultra busy, nice atmosphere and good food. Couldn’t wait to return this year but wished I hadn’t bothered. No welcome on...

What a fabulous find. Staff friendly and helpful and food was absolutely top draw. We’ll defo be back next time we’re in this beautiful part of the UK 👍

The service was non existent! We went in for a drink and snack at lunchtime and after the waitress passing us 3 times my husband had to go in and ask for a menu. Once we’d chosen our food I then went inside to find...

Good beer, great pizzas and scrummy food. Staff were very engaged and happy. Overall a great night out. Best pub in Brockenhurst.

I can’t even put into words how terrible our service was here. I could sit here and write about all the problems we had while we were here but we have already told the manager on shift our problems and she did not care in...

Went for dinner on a Saturday evening to The Huntsman. The staff were very friendly and offered us crayons for our little boy and a high chair. The food was delicious and the portion sizes really good, we wish we could have had more! There’s...

Great value with 1 courses for £15 on Mondays to Tuesdays. We went for the red pepper and tomato soup followed by fish cakes on mashed leeks with a poached egg on top. Brilliant.

We tried this pub whilst on holiday, I had a nice chicken, bacon and leek pie with mash and green beans and it was very nice, my partner had the fish and chips he said they were ok but the batter was soft like it...

I am afraid this is not really a hotel to relax in. It has been shabbily decorated. The bed was lumpy, none of the windows opened, no aircon and the bathroom smelt of drains. I would recommend gutting the whole of the upstairs of this...

Wouldn't bother if I was you, visited with husband and friend, service slow one young girl to wait on all tables. We experienced very slow service between finishing our Starters and receiving our mains. We sat watching while queuing people who wanted to come in...

It was ok. Service was very good, staff were very helpful and friendly; although the wrong pizza was served (I'm vegetarian and a chicken pizza was given). Just one of those things, nobodies 'fault', waitress was lovely. Would have been nice however, to have been...

Lovely place, lovely village. But, coming from one village to another. This is a very expensive place to stay. Get a bag of frozen chips from down the road for half the price. Tiny cups in the room for tiny people hands with tiny mouths....

The most unfriendly place I’ve been to in Brockenhurst. Turned up and asked at the bar if we could sit outside with our dog for dinner. He wasn’t interested and sent me to the waiting area served. I was then ignored three times by the...

We stayed at the Huntsman, Brockenhurst for 2 nights. We were a party of 12. The rooms are small but clean. They have dressing gowns, shampoo and shower gel, hairdryer and tea and coffee. The showers were good. My sister in law asked for the...

We came here for our wedding anniversary as the website looked appealing and brockenhurst is a lovely place in the forest First impression when we arrived was how clean the restaurant was , it wasn’t very busy when we arrived as our table was booked...

Having had many lovely meals at The Hunstman we booked a table. My step daughter ordered the vegetarian truffle pasta which arrived and having eaten a few mouthfuls was discovered to contain chicken. Obviously extremely distressing for a vegetarian. We spoke to the deputy manager...

We had Sunday roast here and it was impeccable! We had roast beef tender and delicious, even the veg was beautiful! Highly recommend! The beer garden is also lovely! Had a great experience, will definitely come again!

The service was the worst I’ve ever experienced. Firstly despite property policy saying we could pay cash, they refused point blank which caused us problems as I’d taken cash. I asked if I could decide about breakfast in the morning they said NO. I rang...

Appalling service , not nearly enough staff, staff doing there best but waited and waited for any service The food was expensive but good quality, no idea why they haven’t got more people in to help , ,,,,,, hopeless

We have just had the best pizza ever here! It’s made in a pizza oven fresh to order & was the nicest we have ever tasted, we also had the tomato & red pepper soup & that also was delicious. All the staff are very...

Unfortunately due to the appalling and unhelpful staff we would never go back here. We were staying at Hollands wood campsite and walked here for Sunday lunch. From the moment we said we hadn’t booked it was apparent we were not welcome. They said we...

Popped in for a drink, first thing to catch my eye was the beautiful hanging baskets, totally dry and on the verge of dying. Went to the bar where 3 members of staff were faffing around achieving little, not one spoke or greeted us. In...

What a dreadful meal I ordered a basic sausage and mash and what I was presented with was a disgusting mess the potatoes were lumpy and cold, the french beans were nearly raw and the sausages were pink inside, obviously inedible, what horrible experience I...

Lovely friendly service. Delicious food. Will definitely be making a return visit soon. Best restaurant in the area. Highly recommended.

We found the food to be delicious and the staff were great, especially the Portuguese waitress who was charming...highly recommended

Adhoc visit on way through to Lymington hospital. Dog friendly which helps. Staff were courteous and pleasant. Made to feel welcome. Seated in garden area. Great surroundings. Food was very nice, although the chips I had weren’t to my liking, but having said that the...

So so DISAPPOINTED with the service. We had previously visited & was happy albeit the service was a bit slow. However this will be the last time we ever visit this place. We were seated in the garden as we had dogs which was fine....

During our annual visits to the New Forest , we returned again after our previous visits in the past for drinks and dinner on two evenings, very good service and attention , soup, pate and pizza was our choice on this occasion from a large...

Came today for a family meal as it was highly recommended by some friends, so glad we came food was amazing and the staff and management are fantastic. We had the roast dinner as that is what was recommended and it couldn’t disappoint it was...
