The Cliff House in New Forest

We were there on Sunday and they had life band playing which was very nice. Best fish and chips we had over there. Views were very beautiful even on a rainy day.

We stayed 2 nights. In Portland room, small but very nice views across to the IOW. The Room was clean nice shower,the toilet is a masserator type so it is noisy. Bed was really comfortable and had a good night's sleep. There is a lot of noise from restaurant, but it all good by 10 ish. Staff were all very good and food was excellent. Rooms 8/10 Cleanliness 8/ 10 Service 10 /10 Value 8 /10 Would go back

Plenty of parking within a minute's walk, lovely welcome followed up by genuinely good service. Food and drinks at a fair price for very good quality. Love the memorabilia in the wash rooms.

Great place and lovely views the food is great 👍🏻

Lovely views from this restaurant with ample outdoor seating for the warmer weather. Service great and our needs for our anxious dog was warmly accommodated. The food was lovely and the portions very generous too. Would recommend if you are in the area. Excellent fish and chips and a lovely catch of the day sampled. Burgers are huge but delicious, managed to eat most of it… for the fish and chips we were able to take half away for later on so no waste!

Lovely restaurant and bar great outdoor seating area

Food was really good all dishes would have again. Cocktails superb. Staff so accommodating

Great spot, food was good. They were busy so maybe service a little slower than the norm, but wasn't an issue for us as chatting with friends in the sun that was streaming through the window. Will definitely go again. Staff were excellent. Dog friendly. Didn't stay overnight, just food.

Superb location, good food, prompt service.

A lovely stay at cliff house friendly staff excellent food excellent cocktails, excellent room with a view looking out to the needles can’t wait to are next visit. Craig & Nick

Food was exceptional. Service was lacking - we were only asked for drinks when we arrived and the bill took ages to get to us.

Wonderful setting & views. Staff are attentive, but not over the top. Food delicious & well presented.

This hotel & venue just St gets better and better. Lots of parking outside, bar area and dining, space for dancing to live music and outside a large marquee for bigger events. Located on the clifftop with magnificent sea views.

Had a great celebration meal with my wife on a Saturday evening , lovely food and great service would highly recommend

Great place for a drink after a dog walk along the clifftop

We popped in around 5 in to book a table for that evening. The bar area was buzzing. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly. When we arrived back for the meal, the outstanding service was replicated. Food was delicious! An excellent experience, made by the quality of the team. Thank you!

Food was pretty okay, quite expensive. The music was so loud that we couldn’t speak to each other. Service was okay. View is lovely

A favourite of the locals, that says a lot! Weekend music. Great food in the restaurant and always a warm welcome. Brilliant. P.s. it's seriously noisy inside and would definitely benefit from some sound absorbing wall treatment.

Great location and a nice welcome on arrival. Table as requested and food was both tasty and well proportioned. The only niggle was the music from the bar area was both loud and not really appropriate for ambiance that was trying to be created. Personal choice maybe but relevant to our reason for dining. Nice dining experience overall and we'll be coming back 👍🏻🙂

Amazing view and location, very nice drink menu and friendly staff, place also is dog friendly

Very friendly, great food and a great selection on gin . Highly recommend The Cliff House. Not forgetting the fantastic location.

We were only in Barton on sea for a couple of days and went back there twice its that good

Really nice delicious Sunday lunch. The staff couldn’t be more helpful especially when the kitchen forgot to put something on my plate. They were extremely apologetic and got it sorted in a timely manor couldn’t fault them.

I had not been to the Cliff House for a few years because I had not been overly impressed at my last visit, but some friends wanted to try it again so we did. I am glad I did. The service was good and the food really excellent. Being able to watch a beautiful sunset over the ocean during the meal was an added bonus. I will definitely go back.

Stopped for a drink after a walk along Barton sea front and the decided to share a platter. Good food and choice of drinks. Sat in the spacious outside garden with fantastic views across to Isle of Wight. Garden has outside toilets and lots of seating drinks and food were brought to table. There is also an outside function area. Although didn't use there is a reasonable sized car park

Popped in on a cold wet September Thursday lunchtime. There was a cosy log burner in the bar. The restaurant was quite busy, but the service was excellent. Good menu choice, and the food was excellent. Very pleasant staff. Must go back on a clear day to see the view.

A fantastic venue, the service was spot on and the food was excellent. Will definitely be returning.

Only there for tea and coffee. Went back for lunch.

An exceptional Friday night dinner with a group of 7! Beautiful views, bustling atmosphere, delicious food and the most amazingly attentive staff. Such a fun and memorable night, with the amazing customer service really making this restaurant a gem of a place!

The food was great and the staff were friendly. It's a great place to go and the views are good if you sit by the windows. It's also dog friendly 🐕

Visited here with some friends last weekend. Quality of the food was absolutely outstanding. Staff were very welcoming and service generally was excellent.

Great place for a drink and a catch up.

Stopped by for a light lunch and a beer the food was excellent and the service/staff were outstanding. It was my son’s eighteenth birthday and totally by surprise they sent out a complimentary sweet platter wishing him a happy birthday. What a lovely gesture. I was further impressed by how well they received our two dogs. I am so pleased we found this place, they made our lunch time stop a birthday treat. I would not hesitate in recommending them. A massive thanks to all the team

Been here a few times and love the location. Generally the food is good but not amazing. However, tonight I had the seafood linguine and my wife had the trout and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. Hope it continues.

Lovely place. Great vibes, great selection, lovely service and good grub!

The Cliffhouse is one of three establishments owned by the same people (The Townhouse in Lymington and The Lighthouse in Milford on Sea) this has now become a destination establishment. This place is a must to visit. Busy, thriving, energetic. Wonderful attentive staff. Their menu is amazing and changes with the seasons. If you love fish then this is the place to visit. I'm not sure who the chef is but is a master with ingredients, taste and presentation regardless as to what is prepared If you're a gin lover then their extensive gin menu will not disappoint. Married up with Fever Tree mixers Booking for the main restaurant is a must at weekends or sit in the bar and enjoy an array of beers, wines and food. Outside seating is available all year round. Summer will give you views across to Hengisbury Head (Dorset), overlooks Barton beach and you can watch the sun set over The Solent - very beautiful or enjoy the differing hues of winter skies as the sun disappears - bring your camera. Accommodation available with onsite carpark. Dogs allowed

Enjoyed a roast here last weekend. The main and starter was lovely. The location is the icing on the cake.

Amazing staff, incredible room and one of the best views ever. Breakfast was pretty damn good as well!

Our go to cafe when we want a drink after a walk along the sea front. Good food, good service pleasant staff, great views and good for watching the world go by.

The staff are very attentive to your needs and the sunday roast is excellent, views across to the needles are fantastic!!!

Birthday meal with family. Food very good. Good service and great atmosphere in the garden bar

We visited yesterday for lunch on our weekend away, after a recommendation from family who visit regularly. We were not disappointed! So much so, we went back today for some drinks. The yummiest seafood - the sole melted in your mouth and the scallops were so flavoursome. The cocktail menu is 10/10 and I will dream of that white bueno martini forever. (I had to ask for the recipe so I can make it back at home!) staff are very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we visit the area! Highly recommend 🌞 Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Very good service despite the fact that it was extremely busy. Nice food! Good atmosphere and positive vibes.

Went for lunch. My friend had fish gumbo. She noticed that one langustine was purple and the tail, which she ate, was mushy . She told the waitress who said she would speak to the chef. As I was paying the bill, she reported that the chef said it was only the head which wasn't cooked. I wasn't offered any money off the bill and didn't make a fuss, but I won't be going back again. Rather sad

Had a great birthday experience here

Nice pub with stunning views. We were served by a very friendly guy.

Fantastic Sunday lunch with excellent service

We had a lovely lunch at the Cliff House. Very good quality food and presents and a great location.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Excellent food, contemporary deco, friendly and attentive service. Best scallops I've ever had. It was a friend's birthday and she got an amazing happy birthday desert on the house. If this isn't enough- there are fantastic sea views over Mudeford Bay and beyond. And last but not least - dogs are welcome.

Had a fabulous lunch here in a beautiful location. Very good service from friendly staff and great food. See you again in the Spring.

Great location good food,wine and service

We visited by chance on a sunny Sunday whilst walking in the local area. We were greeted by a very friendly host who showed us to a stunning table overlooking the sea and cliffs of Barton on Sea. We ordered from their BBQ menu which stated it was only served when it’s sunny. The food certainly matched the weather as it was bright and full of summer flavours. We enjoyed the Swordfish, but the Chicken and Chorizo Skewers were a highlight. We were going to stop by for a quick bite to eat and a pint, but ended up partaking in cocktails and a jug of Pimms, all of which were fabulous. I can’t wait to return soon to try the full menu in their main restaurant. They had a massive outdoor area so it was quite easy to get a table, even during peak hours. I would highly recommend a visit, as it’s about as close to Portugal in the UK!

Fantastic food and staff. Couldn't fault it.

Well cooked food with great views.
