Absolutely love the food here. The chef Jason is a master class chef! He always whips something up that makes me super happy - and I'm vegan

At the moment, Jason only organizes an evening meal occasionally. On this occasion he had opened prior to a film being held at the Village Hall. A small group of us met and enjoyed a two course delicious meal with wine. The first course was a salad, comprising, Isle of Wight, Heritage tomatoes and fennel, beautifully presented. My main course was a chicken schnitzel, with ratatouille and potatoes that have been tossed in buttery herbs

This is a lovely little café and such a welcome addition to Sway. I know the cafe has been here a while but I understand the management is relatively new (last 18 months). I must say they are doing a great job!! I've just devoured the English breakfast washed down with a lovely coffee ☕ Nice atmosphere, great friendly staff and local produce. It's a winner 🏆

Five of us attended a pre-cinema meal at The Forest Deli At Sway last evening. It was the first time that Jason had been able to do this and serve a glass of wine or a beer. We had a really great meal comprising two courses. A delicious first course followed by a chicken schnitzel with new potatoes and an Isle of Wight Heritage tomato salad. A great start to an interesting evening. We saw the film the longest day at Sway cinema.

When we were served, I did a tiny dance, a pirouette, just in my head, to celebrate the simple beauty of a white cup and saucer. Now you may say I am being flippant or facetious - no, but how many times have I been served flat white in a glass? Serving a hot drink in glass is stupid - for the obvious fact it is only drinkable once tepid. Whose idea was it to serve coffee in a glass in the first place? Maybe an Australian lumberjack with giant hands of ox leather. Once I had recovered from the pleasure of the crockery I could concentrate on the coffee itself - it had that delicious dark residue I always long for, and this rich, brown swirl against the white cup was a pleasure in itself. And then the moment of perfection, that first sip, the caffeine zipped through my blood and pinged in my brain - I saw stars, a galaxy, a fizz of black diamonds. These people know how to make coffee, how to serve coffee. I spoke to one of the staff afterwards, was told of the training they had to undertake in order to be purveyors of the bean, sourced from Bad Hand roasters in Bournemouth. One of the greatest flat whites I’ve ever had, maybe the even the best. (I should add I am not a friend or relative of anyone associated with this deli or the roasters. I am a coffee addict, fed up with tepid, milky slop.) The Forest Deli is a fortress of perfection. Let no mediocre coffee crusader scale its walls.

As Jason approaches his first anniversary as the owner of Sway Deli, I'm delighted to report on another great lunch. I love pea and ham soup, but he'd used split peas that gave it a really smooth and comforting taste. Congratulations Jason. Iris had ham, egg, tomatoes and fried potatoes - she had substituted tomatoes for the mushrooms that were offered.

Lovely little cafe with a few tables in the shade - really friendly service and were made to feel very welcome. it was a hot day and the staff offered to fill up our water bottles before we left. I had a bacon roll which was packed with delicious streaky bacon. A great cafe and I will definitely stop here again if passing.

The new owner was so welcoming and hd many visions for the deli which he shared such as introducing a 'daily speacial' light lunch (sounded delicious), and making more of the Deli side of the business (something Sway needs). The ham in the sandwich was great quality and the quiche was really tasty: both accompanied by a fresh and varied UK salad. I also went home with a dozen eggs and a locally produced venison chirizo.

Went into this shop this morning with my dad. I was in the middle of ordering when a female waitress did something wrong with the coffee machine, like put caffeinated coffee into what should have been decaf or something, and the man, who I think maybe the manager, lost his temper. He shouted at the staff member who I felt really sorry for and then turned from me and started slamming and banging around with the coffee machine. I didn’t actually get to finish my order. It made me so angry how he spoke to his staff and behaved in front of the customers. I decided to leave there and then. The female staff member was nice though and I don’t know how she puts up with her colleague. I would’ve walked out had I been spoken to like that.

Have visited here several times. First time ok if a little pricey, second time my husband ordered the omelette with chips and peas but only got the omelette, however they were very apologetic and the food that came was tasty. Today soon after we sat down we were warned by other customers that they had been waiting a very long time. Most of the customers left soon after but still our food - a jacket potato and an omelette, took a long time. When my husband asked if I could have a fresh pot of tea as we had been waiting so long it had got cold, the owner was extremely rude and shouted at him to leave and not to come back. Since we had already paid we waited for our food and ate it. Definitely not service with a smile!

Just passing by the New Forest and found this gem!! The food is homemade with high quality local ingredients, and you can really tell the difference - I had a delicious smoked trout pate sandwich and my friends had homemade fish pie and macaroni and cheese with bacon and mushrooms. Excellent quality and very good value, half the price of what such gourmet food would cost in London. The cakes were to die for, we had apple harvest cake, chocolate brownie and a yummy Aussie treat with sponge, chocolate and coconut . We also tried other local restaurants that were nice, but this meal was the most memorable despite being simple. Would definitely recommend the detour.

This is a small coffee shop and Deli. Open Lunchtime with a wide choice of sandwiches, soups and specials. Pleasant staff and good quality food, portions that do not stretch the belt and excellent coffee. After you have eaten, if you wish there is large choice of preserves and pickles to tempt you. Give it a try.

Friendly coffee shop with lovely cakes and proper coffee. A relaxing break sitting in the patio! Also a port of call for the tourist information in the New Forest.

As usual we had a very enjoyable lunch here today. Despite having two vegetarians and one gluten free out of the five of us, nothing was too much trouble. We all had different very tasty roasts. Followed by some good desserts, the toffee roulade was great. The Ship’s Sunday roast is definitely the best around here.

Just a quick shout out to the Cliff house. Usually put a review on every now and then for the Cliff house. Ate here last week and yet again exceptional service, great choice of drinks and good menu. Had a chateaubriand which was cooked perfectly. Price is ok for location. Thoroughly enjoyable

Esta reseña se basa en mi experiencia en el día y podría ser diferente para ti, pero lo dudo. Excelente servicio de este F & C para llevar y excelente comida para arrancar. Llamé con anticipación y pregunté si cocinaron sin gluten un sábado - se aconsejó que se cocinaba de martes a sábado - ya que un miembro de nuestra fiesta tenía un trastorno alimenticio. Cumplió con nuestro pedido y llamó de nuevo una segunda vez y realizó el pedido y se le dijo que se haría inmediatamente. Condujo hasta allí y lo recogió después de pagar. Excelente servicio. Para tu información - no entregan por lo que la recolección es la única opción. F & C era excelente y sabroso todo encontrado, sin quejas y platos vacíos como era la adición en la comida que se espera dentro de una tienda de pescado y patatas fritas que compramos. Tengo que decir que los Saveloy eran excelentes y muy sabrosos. Así que para resumir, el personal excelente y servicial, la comida fantástica, bueno para personas con alergias alimentarias, todo ordenado muy rápidamente Pruébalo, volverás. Enséñame esto.

We had lunch here today for my birthday. The staff are very friendly and service was excellent. The food was soooo good. Highly recommend the beetroot and goats cheese mousse starter. The whole meal was delicious. Will certainly return.
