Silver Hind in New Forest

Stopped with 3 adults and 4 children. Got Ice cream and drinks in the garden. Lovely helpful staff. Really relaxing atmosphere.

We booked a table for four on Mothers day. Good service, friendly staff, great food. Will absolutely go again soon. When we arrived, mum got a glass of prosecco. We had starters (calamari, garlic musrooms in cream sauce, ham hock terrine and prawn cocktail) which were very tasty, and well presented. For main we all had roast (2x lamb, 1xbeef, 1xpork). There was plenty of vegetables - crispy roast potatoes, a yorkshire pudding, carrots, parsnips, leeks. We added a side of cauliflour cheese. It was all delicious and we even had room for pudding - two creme brulee and two sticky toffee puddings. Despite being very busy on Mothers day, the service was prompt, and food was hot.

Great pub for a beer, went in a couple of times when in the area, but didn't eat there.

My family and I stopped by for a meal on a Friday night. It was busy but the service was quick and friendly and the food was really really good 👍

Really tasty bhaji burger. Lovely lunch and friendly staff.

All round enjoyable meal with delicious food and friendly service.

Really friendly pub. (Including dogs) Only visited for Christmas Day drinks.

Staying in Sway, close to the Silver Hind for a family Christmas. Two from Boston & two from London. Eat here last night and all agreed that the food was superb. It's probably one of the best & tenderness burgers I've had and a special mention for the chips that accompanied the Haddock. Thanks guys.

Spot on. Good service at a great price and great food

Last minute choice and what a wonderful place. Lovely welcome and offered a choice of tables and a very sturdy high chair for the Grandson. Great menu options and excellent service. Well the food was just perfect and a good price. Their attention to detail was 1st class and we were so impressed with the whole visit. Looking forward to our next visit. Well done to everyone at the Silver Hind

We visited this pub for a Saturday lunch when staying at a local campsite. Had a very warm, friendly welcome and was fortunately dog friedky. The food was superb !! Menu choices were extremely varied and we opted for a bajhi burger and home made burger, both with triple cooked chips and coleslaw. Wonderful!! Would highly recommend this pub.

Very friendly place, decent beer and excellent food. Dog friendly too.

On a train based pub crawl,very close to station,good selection of beers and wines .did not eat but menu looked interesting .very clean and staff were wonderful .recommend

For a freehouse (free of tie) why are there no local beers? The 2 on offer are bland and boring national products. Support local? Not on this occasion.

Stopped here during a long bike ride. Very nice food and friendly staff.

Not a deadful gastro-pub just a good quality kitchen with well prepared food by compitent chefs. A very enjoyable evening with attentive but not overbearing staff. Also seems to be a local takeaway.

Nice place to have lunch and dinner, the service was excellent, the food was good. It is a dog friendly place where there are dog water bowls in multiple places.

Been here twice so far on our holiday must say really nice place service is excellent and food in keeping with the area I wouldn't hesitate to say a must go yo place many thanks for for your kindness and service

We were staying in Sway for a few days. We popped into the Silver Hind for a quick drink and then decided to go the next evening for dinner and to take part in their quiz night. We had a lovely warm welcome from both the staff and the regulars. It was a really fun evening. The beer was well-kept and my food was delicious (pizza with a side salad followed by a creme brulee). Only 4 stars for the food though because my other half's a vegan and there wasn't a great choice for him. If it was just me it would be 5 stars! We would happily go there again if we were in the area.

Lovely friendly pub with great food and great beer.

Delightful, professional, friendly staff. The food was excellent and very good value for money. We were there for a family lunch, with our youngest member being 9, it was nice to see a children's menu that offered items other than the usual, chips with everything. I would highly recommend this venue and hope to return in the not too distant future.

Lovely pub , staff are very friendly and the food is excellent .

We booked for an evening meal on Saturday 9th September and were not disappointed. The warm and friendly welcome and attentive service was part of a fantastic dining experience. Great cocktails, beautifully cooked food and a relaxed atmosphere only enhanced our experience. We will definitely be visiting The Silver Hind again.

Super friendly and attentive staff, relaxed atmosphere and great freshly prepared lunch. Highly recommend. Thank you

Outstanding Sunday lunch at a great price.

Excellent food,great staff and dog friendly, couldn't fault anything.

A busy restaurant for local people and visitors, service for food and drinks was friendly and prompt . I was especially pleased when I asked and was kindly given extra vegetables that I needed with my fish , prices were average / reasonable. There were tables outside . The pub . is a few minutes down the road from the |New Forest and dogs were allowed

Excellent pub in Sway, good beer great service and lovely atmosphere .

We stopped for a drink and some chips, lots of outside seating, lovely decor and very nice loos. Staff were friendly and the food was good.

A relaxed birthday meal with an old friend. Enjoyed a lovely meal and a good old “chin wag”. Agreed probably the best Bakewell tart and Lemon posset we’ve had - and we’ve had a few in our time 🤗. Delicious.

Excellent relaxed and friendly, great food. Just furniture is a little dated.

My 3 friends had the Thai green curry, they all agreed it was delicious. I went along for the Quiz night it was great fun, we didn't do toooo badly and some varied interesting questions. I would definitely go again 💯

We enjoyed a Saturday evening meal in the restaurant area of this busy village pub which had a range of local beers on tap. The atmosphere was lively but not overly noisy, service was good and the food great. We both had mains of sirloin steak cooked to perfection with mini vine tomatoes, mushrooms, chips and a small salad. Desserts were of an equally high quality. Altogether a satisfying experience and good value.

Having been let down by our chosen venue we had to search around for somewhere to eat, we telephoned the Silver Hind who said yes they could do us s table, but warned us that there was a charity quiz night on, that night, having little choice we took the chance and booked our first ever visit to The Silver Hind. On arrival we were greeted and shown to our table by two extremely pleasant young ladies, one returned for our drink orders following that she came back for out meal orders. The service was quick and efficient, we all started with prawn cocktails, two had fish, one had a steak and kidney pie and the other had a burger and chips. The food was served quickly, arrived hot and well presented. Deserts chosen were apple crumble and custard and Sticky toffee pudding, all perfect. The evening went so well with a terrific atmosphere and we were made so welcome by the other customers as well as the management, that we joined in with the quiz night. Superb evening at a great venue, would recommend the Hind to anyone

While staying in a nearby shepherd's hut, we chose this pub to celebrate my husbands birthday. What a fantastic find. Wonderful service and delicious food. The price of food and drinks was very reasonable. The staff were courteous at all times. We stayed after the meal and chatted to very friendly local people. I would definitely recommend it. We walked from our shepherd's hut, but we did see parking available by the train station, which was just around the corner from the pub.

Really friendly staff, good beer and my bacon/brie baguette was lovely. We always visit when we stay at Setthorns and are never disappointed. Update. Returned and had the steak pie with cauliflower cheese. Best pie I have had in years. Full of good quality meat and very tasty. Service was excellent. Great pub.

Excellent roast, fab and delicious vegetables to go with it, not all overcooked and watery. Had an extra side of excellent cauliflower with leek gratin. Very hot and well served by friendly efficient staff. Followed it with a delicous creamy crème brûlée and an Eton mess. Would certainly recommend and come again

Excellent restaurant. Will go there again when next staying at Tiptoe

Had a great time at the 4th July BBQ. Good and service were excellent 👍

Car parking was difficult- they have no dedicated car park. We chose the chilli and red Thai curry. Both needed more flavour and the ratio of chilli to rice needs adjusting - more chilli!

Been staying in Sway, Lymington for a week visiting The Silver Hind pub every day. The staff (Leia in particular) and locals are very friendly and the pub has a great atmosphere. The menu is very extensive and we've just had Sunday dinner which was excellent. I forgot to take a pic of the Cajun Swordfish lunch I had but it was amazing. I did remember to take a photo of the desert 😊 I highly recommend this pub 😍

Perfect place for either a drink or a meal. Would recommend Sunday lunch.

Deserves to succeed, will go again

What an amazing find. Great menu , correctly priced and beautifully presented and well cooked. Our young waitress (Leiha) was lovely and made a nice evening even more pleasant. Well done!!

Down for my wife's birthday, we arrived for 1pm table as party of four (plus dog). We were met with a warm welcome. The atmosphere was friendly. Food was great. Decent beers and wine. Good service. In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much - that before we knew it, it was 8pm! And we'd been there most of the day. Best pub in the area.

Very nice Sunday lunch. Always a treat to eat here.

Very nice sociable dog friendly food good and not over priced very happy

Great local & fantastic food, not at all like typical pub grub! A real gastronomic experience!

Lovely food, lovely pub - Really good value, good size portion, would recommend as everyone enjoyed and nothing was an issue! Thanks

Visited for Sunday lunch. Fantastic service and excellent food. Possibly one of the best roasts I have ever had plus the other food selected was really good. Also a great dessert selection. Brilliant to see this place so busy and with this level of service and food, I’m not surprised. We will definitely return. Thanks for a great lunch.

Stopped for a pub lunch form mother's birthday which we all enjoyed. Super selection of main's cooked and daily specials cooked to order . We received a very warm welcome. Would definely go back.

A nice country pub with more of a chilled pub/dining atmosphere. The food was really tasty and staff were very friendly :) we both had the pizza and it was delicious :) it's dog friendly too, which is a plus! Definitely recommend for a meal :)

A group of 11 of us went for a sunday lunch and the food and service was amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful, service was quick and facilities were lovely.

Fitted us in at late notice, staff very friendly. Welcoming atmosphere. Great food

We were camping nearby so went in search of a pub for a bite to eat. The welcome from the bar man was the best I think we’ve ever had. So attentive without being pushy and a real treat to see such good manners. We...

Visiting the area and went in for Sunday lunch. Food was outstanding and I’m very fussy! Crumble was to die for! Bar staff friendly and efficient and the young guy was particularly friendly and very cute haha if only I was 30 yrs younger lol...

The Sway Thursday Club held their Christmas lunch at the Silver Hind. Really good food, excellent service. The whole atmosphere was excellent.

Superb food and made to feel most welcome. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a Friday evening meal and the hind totally exceeded our expectations. I don’t like eating what I can cook at home so chose a veggie curry that was interesting and completely delicious. My sons child size pizza was just right for an...

Excellent pub with lovely, friendly staff. Our Sunday lunch was great value and freshly made. Will definitely visit again. .

It has a very friendly atmosphere, prompt and friendly service, the waitress was very accommodating and friendly. I had the steak and definitely would have it again. All in all a good venue and will definitely go back soon.

Friendly, welcoming pub with excellent food. We visited twice during our 5 day visit to Sway and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. Highly recommended.

Wonderful meal, wonderful service from Emily who was the only staff and managed everything totally efficacy with a smile. Meal was perfect and promptly served. Already booked for tomorrow evening

Nice bit of grub (roast beef) and staff really helpful and attentive, and dogs welcome as well.

We always visit here when in the New Forest and it doesn’t disappoint!! Great food freshly cooked - good service too!

The bar, serving and kitchen staff did a great job of feeding and watering a table of 14 in good time with good humour. All very much enjoyed the evening.

Had dinner last Saturday food exceptional and Jose was just awesome

My wife and I had dinner here last evening. We sat in the outdoor area which was comfortable and had a relaxed atmosphere. The food and service were excellent. We always enjoy our times here and can't wait to make another visit.

Food was good, but a little pricey. Surroundings were very pleasant and staff friendly and attentive.

Excellent food and delightful service. Can recommend the melt-in-the-mouth beef pie and the beetroot feta risotto. Excellent.

We went back, having not found it especially friendly last time, and were delighted that the staff were super friendly and welcoming. We couldn’t have felt more at home, and will definitely return soon

Trevlig och lugn atmosfär. Mycket god mat och trevlig personal

Visited this establishment at least 4 times to eat and drink over a six day period. The staff are efficient, friendly and the food is good quality. The food is home cooked and plenty of vegetables . I certainly recommend this lovely pub with a...

Fabulous food served by an absolutely lovely waitress called Leia with a beautiful smile nothing was too much Trouble.

Super tasty swordfish lunch - delicious

Visited twice and had lovely meals on both occasions, highly recommended.

Lovely outside space to enjoy a great cream tea. An enchanted area of outstanding beauty all around. Sway is very central to so many attractions.

Beautiful roast dinner, lovely staff and very reasonably priced, I'll definitely be back

Third visit today, we haven't eaten there yet but the beer has been fine ,dog friendly pub ,good mix of people, worth a look in Blu

Absolutely excellent, lovely staff and great service, most welcoming and lovely food 😀 😊

Stopped here for a lunchtime beer whilst on a cycle ride. Good beer and lovely garden. Didn't have a meal but did look like a popular lunch stop

Lovely village pub, with impressive menu. We had three courses and just about managed the large portions. The food was very good and full of flavour. We will make a point of returning if in the area.

We visited for Sunday roast and were very impressed. Friendly staff who went over and above to cater for our dietary requirements. Lovely tasty Sunday roast and puddings. A real little gem in Sway.

Had Sunday lunch ,really good ,beef tender ,veg excellent, drinks good ,service behind bar & waiters excellent,very impressed will come again

Great friendly staff very welcoming and very dog friendly. The food was tasty well presented and a reasonable price. There is nothing negative I could think of for this pub

Popped in today for a drink but ended up staying for an incredibly delicious Sunday Roast. Staff are very friendly and attentive. We will be back 😊

Friendly pub, dog friendly too. Food is a little pricier than other local pubs.

Went here for the quiz and tried the food beforehand. The pub has a reputation as a good community owned pub so we were keen to try it. In the event we found that there was no atmosphere and inside it felt more like a...

Claims to be a Gastropub. Some kind of joke. 2 mains of sirloin steak medium rare ordered .We received 2 well done over cooked thin frying steaks with a side of frozen chips , not triple cooked as claimed. CHarged £22 each . No table...

Walked form Setthorns caravan site for a lite lunch. I had the cauliflower curry, it was absolutely delicious. A nice sized portion, nothing worse than having a monster of a meal put in front of you. The staff are nice and friendly. A great place...

A lovely welcoming environment and a very good menu. However, there is a specials board if you can't find anything you fancy, and the food is excellent! If I lived near by I would visit on a regular bases. ( Dogs are also welcome, as you might expect in The New Forest.)

Cracking pub with good seating outside, one of only 2 pubs in the village, great food, great staff.

Lovely country Inn ,great service.

Good Beer and nice food. Felt very welcome

We came here on a Sunday wanting a ploughman’s and the manager was so friendly and welcoming, we sat outside and the chef made us our ploughman’s even though they don’t normally do this on a Sunday. And the lime and soda was nice and...

Lovely pub in the heart of Sway ..Lovely cold draft Guinness...menu looks appetising to 👍

Had a wake there and the staff could not have been kinder. Good spread of finger food to feed grieving old people bimbling around and youngsters knowing they have to behave but don't know why. Couldn't fault the place

Excellent food and cheerful service

Nice pub with good food but it was the service which stood out most - really friendly and helpful.

It our 3rd visit over the last 18 months of lockdown and have always had great service. A community owned and run pub, serving great fresh food 😋 and thirst quenching drinks 🍻🥂 plenty of seating outside and in.
