The Cauldron Inn in New Forest

Writing as someone who works in hospitality - this place is amazing. Top quality food and drink, served beautifully, with really friendly and helpful staff. We were a table with allergy-sufferers (gluten & dairy), and they went out of their way to serve us a delicious meal even when they were out of stock of their usual allergen-friendly options. The cafe is beautifully decorated and has a really warm atmosphere. Can’t recommend enough!

Went for the first time on Friday with friends. What a great experience,not too expensive. Nice wine, goid choice of cheeses. Would recommenda visit.

Perfect pit stop before a long 3 hour drive home! The cafe is cute and the staff are friendly. The sandwiches were AMAZING. My partner declared his the best toastie he’s had and didn’t stop talking about it all day! The menu is pretty limited (a meat, a vegan and a vegetarian option) but the sandwiches were clearly freshly made with good ingredients and thought was put into the fillings. I had the vegetarian option - squash, truffle pesto and cheese and the flavours were SO good. As a previous review mentioned, perhaps a small side salad or coleslaw etc would be a nice addition on the plate. Would happily eat here again, just a shame it’s so far away!
