The Cider Pantry in New Forest

Quick and attentive service. We had cake and tea which was really nice. However, prices were at the high end. Good stopping off point in New forest.

Awful service, staff totally ignored us even though we had told them where we were sitting. Orders for people who arrived AFTER us were taken before. We got fed up so my husband approached staff to inform them of this and all she could do was look vacantly at him - no apology, nothing. So we walked out. And no, it wasn't just us - I witnessed two other parties walk out for the exact same reason

Ordered the dry cider and it tasted vinegary and was just awful. When we asked if this was ok was told that she did not drink cider, she proceeded to pour some from my glass into another glass and tried it herself . Made a grimace face then said it was ok. We could not drink this awful drink. Did not offer to refund the £7.50 so I asked for a bottle one instead at half the price. Will not go back again. Just awful.

I loved this hidden gem that we stumbled on. The staff were so lovely and helpful, helping me chose what to eat. I loved the way they incorporated the cider into so many of they food options too, ie the fruit in the fruit scones were marinated in cider 😋 The food was soooo good! Such a gorgeous little place. We didn't check out the cider shop so can't comment on that.

It's exactly what you would expect from a small village, no frills but fantastic food, large portions, welsh rarebit & a jacket spud our choices, washed down with a big pot of tea and a couple of glasses of cider. I would recommend this for lunch to everyone, maybe not the cider if you're driving.

We had super full English breakfasts a couple of times at this well run establishment. Couldn't fault anything, all was cooked perfectly with a good strong pot of tea with tea leaves. Reasonable prices too.

Loved our time here,food was great friendly staff. Bought some cider for the evening yummy. Definitely be going back

Great Stop On A Great Cycle Route. Stopped off for a Tea (real tea leaves) and a superb coffee. The coffee cake and scone and jam were marvellous. The service was lovely along with the quiet garden to have our drinks in whilst deciding upon the next part of the ride. It would be a reason to go back to the New Forest just to have the coffee and cake.

Such lovely staff and food, good quality ingredients and accommodating for vegans and gluten free! Happy to let the dogs in too, although we chose to sit in the garden.

Great breakfast in the back garden. Quality ingredients. Coffee was good & sausages were yummy. Friendly visit with attentive helpers.

A lovely visit for brunch with my parents and 1 year old - very lucky my Mum went on their website so we knew of the midday cut off for food. Food and service absolutely wonderful - my baby was so welcome, friendly chatty staff and great quality food with an interesting mix of brunch options. Can’t understand the business decision to stop food at 12 when the offering and location are so brilliant - hoping they can stay open for the October festival as we would love to go now we’ve found such a gem!

We visit the New Forest every year and one of our go to places for lunch every time is the Cider Pantry. Visited today so disappointed, what has happened to this beautiful gem of a coffee shop. Firstly only serve breakfast up until 12 then no food after that as they close. The cider barn is open if you want coffees from a cheap machine in a paper cup along with cakes and sausage rolls from a bag, you can eat in their garden which now has about 6 tables in the area which isn’t looked after like it used to be, we just walked away, if it continues I can only imagine next year when I visit it will probably be closed.

Have been visiting the Cider Pantry for over a decade. It’s a favourite call in on bike rides for lunch, milkshakes and cake. Called in yesterday to find food is longer served after 12pm. So we upped left, and went to a competitor in the town. Maybe staffing is tough but to cut food at 12 with all the tourists is odd. We chatted to a few groups in the beer garden who were equally perplexed and vexed

We visited for 'lunch', but with two small children we arrived early at around 11.45am - so lucky that we did, as food was stopped being served at midday!! So, the kids ended up eating off the brunch menu and I had my first ever midday cream tea! It was AMAZING!! Honestly, the fluffiest, tastiest scones I've had in a long time! I just feel like they are missing a trick here. We ordered at about 11.55am, by the time we eaten every other customer had gone and the busy tea garden was now empty before 1pm on a lovely sunny summers day! Highly recommend a visit, I just wish they had a lunch menu!!

Very nice breakfast with top quality ingredients What else would you expect from the new forest £10.95 for a breakfast plus other options available

Stopped here for lunch after a morning walk. We both opted for toasties and coffee and oh boy were they GOOD! I had the Welsh rarebit toastie which came as 2 slices of thick doorstop bread and my friend had the ham & cheese which was covered in chunks of good quality ham and lashings of melted cheese - YUMMY. Will definitely be going back.

On a Sunday afternoon drive, we stopped by after seeing it was opened. Very good menu and drinks, we had some cakes and pancakes which was very nice. The café was very busy yet the service was quick and bringing out the order. Definitely worth a visit

Welcoming. Delicious breakfasts and coffees. Sensibly sized portions. Food fresh and locally sourced. Had a look at the lunchtime menu - looked impressed too.

Visited the cafe several times in a week for lunch and breakfast whilst staying in an Airbnb across the road. Good selection of tasty food especially the sausage sandwich and toasties, pleasant staff and lovely outside area. Great selection of cakes aswell. Visited the shop and as recommended by our Airbnb host, Titia, brought John's runny honey and Beck's Beezzs soft set honey, both absolutely delicious and well worth price tag. Cider was great aswell!!

Only shop was open when visiting but got to taste before buying nice friendly staff very welcoming but small shop could get over crowded

Delicious cider soaked sausages on very fresh bread. Huge number of wasps unfortunately otherwise would have been 5*

Honest food, lovely setting, caring and helpful staff. Plenty of parking space for cars and larger vehicles.

We stayed three nights in Burley and ate breakfast here every morning and had a cream tea as well. Staff are super friendly, food is excellent and the cakes looked absolutely amazing. Apple juice is delicious as well!

A very friendly welcome to a small cafe with a sunny garden with cover for rain or sun. Real honest English food prepared with care and attention and some tasty local cider. Excellent quality and great value.

The most expensive coffee I’ve ever bought! £3.65 for a flat white My fellow diners/friends had a toasted tea cake and coffee and was over £15 for 2! That said friendly staff and not their fault

We visited the cider pantry yesterday afternoon as a last minute decision after a day walking the legs off the children! what an absolute gem! The team were really lovely to chat to and really nice to learn that it is a family owned business...

Stopped in whilst driving around trying to avoid Storm Dudley. Very welcoming experience and lovely food. Hubby had soup and sandwiches (so big we could have shared them!) and mushrooms on toast. We followed up with delicious coffee and cake. A real gem

Three of us enjoyed an excellent lunch in the Cider Pantry today. Two of us had the sausages and mash and one had Cranberry. brie and bacon toastie. For desert we had the delicious Warm Dorset Apple cake with clotted cream. The meal was made...

Room was large, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent but, above all, the staff were very friendly and accommodating ! An enjoyable short stay.

We stayed in the bed and breakfast. Everything was just perfect. We had a lovely stay. The breakfast was beautifully presented.

My friend and I had lunch there. Service was good and my toasted sandwich tasty snd delicious even if they did put it on the wrong bread. My friend had the cheese scone and said it was good.

Extremely slow service, they were not busy. When ordering it was made clear of an allergy to peppers and spices, lunch arrived with a chutney filled with spices and chilli flakes, the wrong bread was also on the plate. The other meal arrived with the...

Delightful - feels like sitting in someone's back garden, albeit a large one, with chickens roaming around. Very family friendly atmosphere. I had the biggest and best ever cheese scone, complete with a hunk of ham, butter and pickle. Highly recommended. We also visited their...

Had a visit here one afternoon, free tastings of cider, most enjoyed the medium. Also a cafe here which we did not try but worth a visit if you enjoy cider.

Offered a taste of the cider as soon as we stepped into the barn, Covid safety meant only 2 people allowed in at one time. Lady recommended ciders to out liking, brought plenty to bring home too.

Popped in for Brunch. Great toasted sandwiches. Home made cider. Nice shop with knowledgable staff. Mostly local products.

Been few time's at the pantry and they got few sweets secrets ! Beautiful and smiling peoples ! I cant wait to go back ,ho well if I am not

The cafe fronts onto the road but the take-away cafe and shop, around the back, are an excellent alternative. Cheese scones to die for, excellent sandwiches, biscuits and cake. Welcome after a long cycle!

It was ok but probably wouldn't return. Unfortunately the cups were stained and still dirty. Bacon wasnt cooked properly with a thick layer of fat on. I asked for beans and never got them.

Food was good. Will go back but not too often as i much prefer a proper pub/tea rooms to eat lunch..

Visited the cider pantry twice now. Loved it both times. Quick service the cider is lovely. If you love great cider and good food you must visit.

The TripAdvisor reviews of the scones exceeded expectations and they were absolutely delicious. The warm apple cake and cream was another winner. The friendly Robin made my day :)

A lovely spot to have breakfast unfortunately we didn't realise there was parking on the premises. Don't make the same mistake! Both mine and wife's brunches were lovely and very well priced. Customer service was also great. Would highly recommend!

We were lucky enough to have breakfast here this morning and it was absolutely delicious! The whole farm was great with geese and guinea fowo amidst all sorts of beautiful wildlife. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be back.

We live in Essex and this is the 6th time we have been here in 3 years, every time we come to the new forest we always pay a visit. We have been to many others in the new forest but none come close. The...

We'd promised ourselves a late breakfast in Burley, before a stroll through the forest there, and enjoyed a fantastic cooked breakfast at The Cider Pantry, just ouside the pretty and busy little New Forest village of Burley. Very impressive covid measures - they encourage customers...

Friendly, clean, excellent breakfasts. We have just returned from 3 nights b&b at the Cider Pantry in the heatwave and covid. Our room was ground floor at the front as we had our dogs with us but it was spacious and clean. We also had...

It was lovely that The Cider Pantry has partially re-opened after Covid and we felt very reassured by the measures in place. There is a great Coffee Pod serving coffees, cakes and delicious cider! And plenty of tables in a nearby field and garden which...

Have been to the cidar shop here at burley but never into the tea room...lovely place...I enjoyed the cheese scone and half a cidar deal...really recommend.

The breakfasts here are fantastic! Loads of choice and always delicious. It does get busy, but for good reason, and you won’t be disappointed by the quality of the food.

We stopped in for some breakfast after a 2 hour drive to the New Forest... what a great choice we made.. really well cooked food and good coffee... very friendly and good value.. very easy to recommend this cafe...

We visited after a long walk to warm up with a cup of tea and a bite to eat. We were welcomed straight away and shown to a little table. The specials looked amazing but we both decided on a homemade veggie burger from the...

What a fabulous place! Our party tried the sandwiches, soups and the roast. It was all amazing. The roast dinner is the best I have ever eaten. The cracking on the roast pork was fabulous and the selection of veg! Yellow, white and orange carrots, two types of broccoli, roast parsnips and crispy light roast potatoes; not to mention the gravy which was outstanding all was cooked to perfection. We also tried the cream tea, that too was delicious. All this in a lovely setting with waiting staff that couldn’t have been more attentive. Thank you will definitely be making this a regular.

Delightful little restaurant with cider shop next door. Friendly, welcoming staff, tasty wholesome food, fairly priced. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they went out of their way to accommodate. The cider cheese pairing was a nice idea, give it a try!

Pre-booked a table for 1pm on Halloween. Had asked in advance about gluten free options and told that they were available when booking.Arrived on time, nice table with a view over the garden. Good range of teas and soya milk available - we both had tea to start.Took our time ordering and checked that items were vegan as well, as my girlfriend has to limit her dairy intake.The soup was mushroom soup, vegan. We both had that, it was very tasty.The tuna sandwich on gluten free bread was tasty. I ordered the burger of the day, which was beef, served with pickles, beetroot, coleslaw and chips. We shared the chips between us.I did order the bacon and that came out afterwards along with the cheese but I didn't mind at all.We shared a big bottle of the freshly squeezed New Forest apple juice.We had ordered olives with hummus, gluten free bread and olive oil/ balsamic vinegar dip. That came out after the main course and we took that home.We also took home some cake - Victoria sponge, carrot cake and gluten free chocolate brownie and lemon drizzle cakes.It was very busy and took a couple of hours but well worth it. Stephen and the team answered all our questions and it was really nice to be able to eat out and have a great selection for all the dietary requirements we had to cover, so thank you. We'll be back.

Breakfast here was delicious and always piping hot. The cakes were amazing too. We also bought some of the cider to take home with us. Will definitely be back!

Very disappointed today to find a far lower quality lunch menu. What’s happened to the great ploughman’s and filled baguettes? Sorry will not be returning unless we hear a quality menu has returned.

There are times when you want reliability , then have no doubt that this restaurant will deliver. The spicey rarebit is great as a lught lunch or their heavenly selection of cakes and cream teas will not disapoint. TRY IT!!!!!

As a cyclist I’d often used the Cider Pantry and normally received a nice welcome and good food.On a recent visit as a group of 4, we went inside to see all the tables of 4 reserved but empty, we then went to the counter to ask if there were any tables that we could use for an hour but were then told that there were plenty of tables available. We then stated that they were all reserved and were then shown to a large table.The staff member then returned to the counter and was heard to mention to another member of staff he’s just had to sort out a group of <word removed to comply with tripadvisor!We then decided that we didn’t need to be abused like that and left to find an alternative lunch stop.Rudeness like that is totally unnecessary.

We go regularly here to eat and the food is amazing - their chips are the best around , love their home made cakes , always have a lovely meal and staff are very good

We love a visit to Burley. This time we decided to have a light lunch. The man that we first spoke to and then took our order did not seem to want to be there. He wasn't rude but he wasn't particularly pleasant either. The scones looked very nice but

Had breakfast here whilst staying at the attached bed and breakfast also excellent. The breakfasts were always top quality, the bacon was some of the best I've had anywhere the toast was thick and tasty, the full breakfast had hardly any grease or fat to be seen, absolutely everything was top notch, fully enjoyed every one, would recommend to anyone.

Called in for some lunch, looking forward to trying this place. I went in first to ask if they allowed dogs, while my husband and dog stayed in the car. No one was behind the counter, although there was someone lolling over the food counter in the kitchen. Eventually a surly, unsmiling male appeared. I asked if they allowed dogs, and, without ever making eye contact with me simply said “not inside, but there’s a garden at the back if you want” and gesticulated with his thumb somewhere behind him. That was the whole of his conversation, no offer to show me where, or shown a menu, nothing. I simply turned on my heel and left. The service here is simply awful; rude, unhelpful and off-putting. We will not be going back.

Visited here on a recommendation of a family member.

Wedding anniversary weekend for me and Mrs Evans and we wanted to return to Burley as we spent our first night of honeymoon here at the Manor. The Cider Pantry was familiar to us as we walked by last time we were here. So very glad we decided to stay this time as the whole experience was delightful. The Kingston Black annex was perfect for secluded privacy at the side of the property, just like our own little flat. Burley village just 1min walk and direct access to forest walks. Huge old spot pigs across the road and the usual beautiful ponies wandering by past the window make for a fabulous New Forest experience for new and old visitors. The beautifully presented breakfast room was a delight and the cooked English was delicious with huge doorstep toast. Will definitely use the Cider Pantry again and would recommend to anyone wanting a great stay on the Forest....ten out of ten

Lovely stop for lunch. Quiche was excellent along with cakes. Fair prices. Nice garden if you can avoid the wasps! Good place to cycle to.

A short trot out of the village but you can get hot and cold food at reasonable prices and portions are good. Plenty of seating and very friendly staff. It is a cross between a tea room and a cafe. Ham ploughman’s is yummy. Make sure you are hungry before you go though. At the back by the car park is a cider shop selling in house cider and lots of other goodies. I don’t drink so haven’t tried it. Would highly recommend you call in for lunch if you are visiting Burley.

Every year we go to the New Forest to go and remind ourselves what a beauty the place is and why people enjoy it so much. Every year, we visit the Cider Pantry to buy cider and visit the tea room. It was 45 minutes before the closing time and we asked a tea room lady how much time we had left to order (we were standing by the cider shop entrance). She said we had 15 minutes before orders stop and by the time we walked round to the front and went in, she bluntly said “Oh actually we’re shut. They’ve put everything away now”. No mention of an apology, nothing. We were angered by this that we simply turned around and walked out.

Had a cooked breakfast to start with. Sausages were full of flavour and best poached eggs I've ever had. Meant to take photos but got too excited and just dove straight in. Came back for a cream tea. Wow. Crisp outside but so fluffy in the middle. Perfect size, and a lovely buttery taste. Definitely recommend.

Two of us stopped by for a late morning drink and some cake. People seemed nice but the cake wasn't as good as I'd expect for the price.

We were a big party and they coped quite well considering they were already busy! Food and drinks orders were taken separate to try and help the kitchen end and most items arrived swiftly. Food isn’t as good as in the past but still decent. Cakes are homemade so leave some

Strange reaction to coming in about 930 and whilst coffee and apple juice were spot on the food itself was less than average. Bacon and Scrambled Eggs were exceptionally badly cooked and smoked salmon was of poor quality. Shame

Good food in a lovely setting. Excellent parking at the back and right next door to the cider shop and farm which is good for younger children to have a look around whilst waiting.

I can not recommend the cider pantry enough. We visited here twice on a recent trip to the new forest. Our lunch was delicious. The egg mayo sandwich was out of this world and the apple juice was chilled to perfection. When searching for a cream tea we couldn’t resist returning to the cider pantry for a delicious scone served with plenty of jam and clotted cream. Service was calm, efficient and friendly,. Thank you for providing us such delicious food.

Was looking forward to having coffee and lunch here but on politely enquiring inside at the till if we ordered our drinks here, I was rudely shouted at by a middle aged male staff member,‘ we come to you!’ I then asked if he had a menu we could look at and again was rudely told, ‘we come to you!’ No hello, how are you, how can I help, just utter bad manners. Such a shame that a simple thing called politeness was missing and so we left with no desire to return in future.

Lovely garden at the back - only stopped by for a coffee and a quick snack but all good. Friendly staff. Recommended.

A not very imposing building, but a most amazing breakfast and well worth the short wait for the "Hangry Farmers Breakfast" £9.95 from a wide and varied Menu with good vegetarian options. Amazed at the quality of everything.bacon more like a thin steak and with cracking. Wowww!!!

Our room was spotless, comfortable and large. Huge modern bathroom, with shower and bath. Large soft fluffy towels, Supply of tea/coffee etc copiously restocked each day. Excellent choices for breakfast. Very pleasant & helpful staff. Plenty of parking and pretty grounds to enjoy. I'd give it a rating of 12/10!!

We were absolutely delighted we chose this tea room as it is simply the best one we have ever been to. We have tried a few cream teas in and around Burley but this is our absolute No1. All the food is freshly made, tasty and looks amazing. We had the cream tea, which was incredible. Freshly baked warm scones, lovely jam and beautiful clotted cream. The tea is proper loose leaf tea and the portions are generous. Service is second to none. The friendly staff, Susan, Hollie and Lorraine work hard to make sure everyone feels very welcome. Having recently being diagnosed as Gluten Intolerant I did not think I would be able to find anywhere that catered for my, annoying, dietary concerns however when I called to make an enquiry they were happy to offer to make me some Gluten Free scones, I was amazed as you can't even buy these in most large supermarkets. The scones themselves were fabulous, so much so we went back the next day for more and we don't have a sweet tooth. If you have special dietary requirements call the day before and they will do their best to accommodate you. Lorraine bakes all the goods and is an incredible baker. We also bought a piece of Lemon Drizzle cake to take away and again this was excellent. There is ample parking, a rare thing in Burley, and plenty of seating inside and out in the garden. Thank you to all the staff who made our short holiday break even more special by exceeding all our hopes and expectations, we cannot wait to revisit.

We only popped in for an afternoon drink on hot day but found the garden to be lovely and the staff very smiley and friendly and very quick too. Tried the homemade apple juice and their bottled cider - very nice indeed!

Went here because of reviews, weren’t disappointed! The sandwiches were huge and delicious as was the food the everyone ordered, the drinks were good, top notch if I could give 10 I would.

had lunch here on a cycle round the new forest. delicious menu of salads, light lunches, various things on toast. Wanted to eat it all :) The savoury scone tea looked amazing,good specials too. Lots of cider and local produce also to buy in the shop.

Stayed here in a family room for 1 night. 1 double bed and 2 singles. Huge room with large bathroom. Lots of parking and nice owners. Breakfast was very nice, I had the veggie and there was lots of it. Lovely little shop. Would definitely stay here again.

We have been to Burley many times over the years but have never found this place until we cycled past it on a recent visit. A wonderful combination of cream teas and locally produced Cider. Our cream tea was probably the best we have had, lovely warm scones and lashings of thick clotted cream, yum.

Went with my partner, sister and her 2 and a half year old and the atmosphere was great and so were the staff. Would recommend the cheese scones, even took some to take away!

The Cream Tea with 2 Hot Scones and a large Tea pot with Cream and Jam it was Excellent the best we have ever had, the service was very good, we would defiantly recommend you go here

Called in to have the scone cream tea. Selected their fruit and cider scone and boy was it good. Served with strawberry jam and oodles of clotted cream.

Dropped in for breakfast 10.45am after a walk in the forest and on the moors. We had 2 dogs with us and sat in the garden, the food was lovely and tasty, i’d Recommend....
