The Crown Inn in New Forest

As a removal company we often find our staff are struggling to find places willing to let us park. The brilliant staff at the Crown were accommodating, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere welcoming. All in all the local area is lucky to have such an excellent venue. We can't thank everyone enough. From Andy and the team at Watson European

Some staff were rude although the food was enjoyable

Amazing service, amazing food, 10/10

The crown is a warm and inviting pub/ restaurant. The soft lighting, rustic wooden furniture, and crackling fireplace create a perfect setting for a relaxed evening. A nice place for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty meal and a good drink. The staff and serving at The Crown are very good, Lisa was very friendly and welcoming, we enjoyed the Easter competition 🙂and, we will come back here .

Went for Sunday lunch with friends my wife and myself had Turkey told it was £17.25 each, when we went to pay our bill we were charged £40.15 , when we queried this we were told the till automatically charged extra as a service charge. because we sat at a table for 8 we had to as there was 7 of us each couple had paid their own bill. We were overcharged £5.65 . And our were also overcharged, so won't be going there again .

Lovely pub, great atmosphere! Yusuf always so friendly and happy to make any drinks always with a smile. Served by Lisa in the restaurant and she went above and beyond to support our dietary needs. So nice to not feel like the menu is restricted for us. Will definitely be looking forward to enjoying the beer garden as the weather warms up!!

Nice food nice beer garden great beer

Lovely food and always greeted by a very welcoming team. Lisa especially always makes us feel welcome, remembering us on every visit. A wonderful local pub.

Lovely country pub. My favourite in the area. Lisa is an absolute diamond and I’ll come back here just to see her smiley face!

Absolutely fantastic meal at The Crown. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Cozy atmosphere made it even better. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back

Brilliant food, amazing service and a beautiful location. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Very disappointed with gluten free options. Told fish & chips were gluten free but fried in same fryer as gluten ingredients. Waitress was very helpful going backwards and forwards to manager who couldn’t have the courtesy to come over. Left having just drinks. Any allergies don’t go to this pub

Stumbled across this place with a friend to after visiting Burley and we’re so glad we did. We both had the seabass and it was piping hot and so tasty. Ruby our server was attentive and really friendly. Will add it to my list to return in the summer!

Absolutely phenomenal! Yusuf served me. Best roast lamb I’ve ever tasted. The meat was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection with a beautiful balance of crispiness on the outside and juiciness on the inside. The flavors were rich and aromatic—clearly prepared with skill and passion. Every bite melted in my mouth. If you’re ever lucky enough to have Yusuf cook for you, do not miss the roast lamb. Five stars without hesitation!

Amazing food came for a roast dinner with my son and grandson

Lovely place with friendly staff. Seated quickly, service was great and couldn't fault the food. Will be returning soon.

What a little gem !! Such a lovley pub . Staff are excellent and always have a smile on their face and will go above and beyond for you . We had a lovely meal . Will definitely be returning.

Amazing service, lovely atmosphere and very well run. Great customer service. Will be back again, thank you x

What a great place! food and service was great

Quick and friendly service. Food was delicious. An absolute gem of a find. Glad I chose to stop in this great pub. We will return 😊

Good beer,good wine,good food and lovely landlady!

Mothers Day at The Crown. Very busy but the staff were amazing, polite and efficient. They didn't stop throughout the service. Many Congratulations.

Always, welcomed, great food and brilliant service! Thank you Lisa!! 🙏🏼

I came in with my daughter for dinner Friday night. We haven't been here for a long time but thought we would try it out. It was absolutely lovely. The menu was very good and food did not disappoint. My daughter had the Katsu curry and I the lasagna very tasty! Lisa was very friendly a.d welcoming and really helpful with her menu knowledge. We will definitely return!

great food and service, definitely be back.

We are always given a warm welcome when we visit and really enjoy the food - the halloumi fries are the best we've ever eaten! This evening was no exception and Lisa was great as always - thank you.

Staff excellent, friendly and informative. Food was beautiful. Partner had roast beef and horseradish bap with chips and gravy...it was sooo good. I had a light bite fish, chips peas and tartar sauce, fresh hot and delicious. Would highly recommend!!

Evening meal when staying in the village. Apparently it has recently taken over or revamped by a chain. Couldn't fault the choice of food or drinks . Friendly and attentive staff, quickly served. Dog friendly but not in the actual restaurant area . A large bar area and outside seating area and car park.

Well what a little treat! We were out for the day and went to the Crown based on trust pilot reviews. Laura was welcoming from the off,although she was on her own and there had been a bit of a rush! Not a problem to her she remained apologetic and calm All of the food around us looked great.We had the lamb and the steak and ale pie both were excellent. Lovely pub and nice atmosphere the service we had from Laura was genuine and kind, so refreshing that there are still people in hospitality that enjoy their job as it was reflected in her service. Well done Laura, we will be back 😉

Saturday Evening visit, great service, helpful,cheerful and attentive,food good Yes absolutely would return.

Excellent food. Petra was a lovely host.

Great Valentines night at the Crown Lovely set menu and super friendly staff that always go the extra mile. The staff here really do make a difference Highly recommend Best Terry

Had a lovely meal ,very busy but nice atmosphere, Louise was our waitress, Couldn't do enough for us ,service with a smile, will definitely go there again.

More of a restaurant than a pub these days

We visited with friends who are very particular on restaurants etc, we were all impresed with the service, next to a lovely wood fire, clean and well furnished restaurant all round, old wood beams lovely atmosphere, food order was taken swiftly when we had decided, no pressure,came to us all hot plates and food, excellent quality and plenty of it. Totally recommend will return for sure.Friends also earmarked for future, staff attentive and friendly. Well done , and thank you all, see you soon.

We are staying at a BB local to the pub Came for some dinner and drinks What a lovely country pub 😍 Met with smiles and a hello from the staff as we walked in Food was great and had a lovely atmosphere Staff were also extremely friendly and helpful I think our table was looked after a lady called Lisa if I remember correctly She was super friendly and very attentive 🙌 We will definitely be returning here when we visit this lovely little village again . Highly recommend

Busy quiz night , still had delicious pizza with several toppings. Fab service from the team !!

Just had an amazing lunch at The Crown. The food was really delicious and the service by Lisa was excellent, she was really helpful and very friendly. We’ll be back asap.

We've been coming here now for over 6 years. It has always been a good atmosphere. The garden is great in the summer. The food was occasionally hit and miss but have to say in the last year it's been delicious. We eat nearly once a week now. Staff very friendly over the years, Lisa, Bianca and Phoebe to name a few who always greet us with a friendly smile. The manager could do with cheering up! Dog friendly and ours loves coming in as always dog treats at the entrance. Definitely recommend. Download the App as you get deals every once in while.

came in for quiz with my girlfriend and our boy. good evening had by all. Wonderful service from our host Lisa . will definitely be back next week !!

Great service, friendly staff, good food, lovely atmosphere

No ketchup - absolutely ridiculous ordered a burger and only told they had run out of ketchup when they asked if we needed any sauces. If told before ordering I would have ordered something else. Poor waitress was apologetic but what a shambles didn’t even offer any kind of discount. Won’t be back terrible

Super warming meal, Lasagne with garlic bread and fries. Perfect for a cold January night! Stayed for the quiz with friends. Thoroughly pleasant evening had by us all! Thank you!

Lovely welcoming pub, plenty of room to talk without being on top of the next table. Good sized portions, speciality burgers were delicious, topped with beef brisket. Great value due to voucher, well worth a visit.

Food wasn't as good as usual so won't be back soon

Staff friendly and professional. Meal was delicious

Family meal one party had a severe nut and sesame allergy..The waitress made me aware of cross contamination on several occasions standard these days. I chose the steak as none of my allergens were listed as present. I was then told I could not have the steak as it’s cooked on a griddle using sesame .. I then asked if this could be cooked in a separate frying pan and the chef agreed..The steak was delicious. Unfortunately no starters or puddings were suitable with my allergies. The waitress was very attentive and helpful.. The wait for the puddings for my family was quite long.. one of the puddings we ordered came with a drink but the drink came first.. when I kindly asked the manager if the other puddings were coming he got quite defensive saying the drinks come out from the bar and the puddings the kitchen I tried to explain my grandson ordered the drink that comes with the mini pudding..but rather than apologising he tried to justify why the pudding wasn’t with the drink . I thought his attitude wasn’t great which was a shame as both the chef and waitress had been very accommodating.. a simple apology about the pudding being delayed would have been much more customer friendly.

Best atmosphere here !!! Really cosy and friendly environment , was sat near the fireplace and it made me feel so comfy. Staff are amazing made sure that the fire was on. Only went here for coffee and tea but it was sooo tasty and hot. Really loved it here !

Lovely Christmas Day lunch and properly looked after by a great team of staff !

Christmas dinner. Realised after the fact that I didn't get the right accompaniments with the venison. Was supposed to be dauphinoise potatoes and braised red cabbage but instead I got soggy roast poatoes, a dirty unpeeled carrot, 50 million overcooked brussels sprouts and grey parsnips. The starter of ham and melon came with unripe, hard melon. For £90 per head, this was not good enough.

Wedding going on next door when we were there. Great atmosphere and within walking distance of Holmsley Campsite.

We were given the table we requested, service was prompt and pleasant. Food excellent.

Brilliant service from the lovely Bianca & amazing food. Food was served with minimum wait, nicely presented & hot. Will definitely be back ❤️

We had great Sunday lunch here today with my boys. Portions were very generous and quality of the food was great. I really appreciated that they found table for us as we did not have reservation (in 2 other pubs we went before did not even bother to have a look) staff were very friendly all around ! We would definitely recommend this pub and we will be back ! Thank you

Great atmosphere and nice staff. Would recommend.

Had a lovely time at The Crown. Great Food and service. Petra was such a kind and welcoming host. Recommend 1000%

Came in on Wednesday quiz night by accident! Glad we did though. Food was excellent and the entertainment was a fun surprise. Served by Lisa who was brilliant, super helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend the Crown and will be back!

Super pub. Nice staff. Good warm atmosphere too.

We have had many meals at this pub. Excellent service from Karen and food great as always. Thanks

Great dinner , served by Petra, will defenetaly be back again.

Excellent food, Excellent environment and our waitress Karen gave us Excellent service to top of a lovely evening in front of the warmth of the open fire.

Fantastic atmosphere in this lovely old Pub with top service from extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good choices on the menu and the honeypot dessert was delicious as was the greens and grains salad. Would definitely recommend eating here.

Food was excellent. Staff friendly. Once we ordered mains came quite promptly. However extremely busy and waited for table to be cleared and offered deserts. Waited a long time for deserts and had ordered coffee at the same time that deserts were ordered which didn't arrive . Had to chase up coffee twice. Not staffs fault just sooo busy. Had dog with us and lovely to see water and bics supplied as had 2hour journey to meet up with relatives.

Will be going back to The Crown. Lovely evening

Our meal was lovely at this pub/restaurant! Katie was a tremendous host and made our meal all that more enjoyable. We would throughly recommend this establishment!

Lovely Sunday lunch with my family including my 18 month old Granddaughter. We were all made to feel very welcome, especially by Lisa who gave us excellent, but not intrusive service. Thank you.

Excellent experience, great food, roast dinner was exceptional, will definitely recommend.

Came in tonight for birthday drinks excellent service from Lisa. Always very welcoming.

Came in for Roast Dinner on a busy Sunday, food came out fast and piping hot. Service was also excellent.

Exceptional food and service. The non alcoholic drinks were exceptional

Nice family place to come, the waitress lisa was particularly attentive to the children, which made all the difference. The food was good although the wait was a bit of a problem with the little ones being hungry. Bar staff generally quite nice. We’d come again if passing.

We visited The Crown which is our local for a lunch. The old open interior is always welcoming and the staff found us an excellent table . The food was first class with a good choice of options on the menu. Thoroughly recommend.

We come to the Crown a lot. Lovely food, staff are so lovely and friendly, always a warm welcome, and it’s great using the vintage loyalty card to! Makes us come so much more! We live around 15 mins away but this is our local now!! Love it there! Thanks to you all!!

Enjoyed a fantastic meal here on Sunday! Good menu choices and staff were absolutely lovely.

Lovely pub with a nice beer garden. Also do a decent Guiness. Haven't tried the food yet.

Having food allergies and dogs, this pub was ideal. I actually had a pudding which was amazing and so tasty. Great location, great food, great customer service and would like to thank all the staff and chefs. It's not often I can go to places now and feel full. Will recommend to all my friends 🧡.

Nicely cooked Sunday roast beef but let down by a 'vinigary' pint of Doom bar, which I noticed was unavailable at my next visit to the bar when l bought a pint of Old peculiar which also was off. The staff were so over worked I didn't have it in me to complain, unlike my stomach later !

Lovely atmosphere Good service Excellent food.

great pub with amazing atmosphere will defonatlet be back list was amazing .

We came back to enjoy some live music and a Sunday Roast and it was the most brilliant pairing. The weather was in our favour and it was lovely to sit outside. Thanks again team Crown.

Unfortunately, I have had to remove my 5-star review. We went to the Crown last evening and it was awful. My dad ordered a steak and it was so tough. He did ask for it to be well done but he couldn't even cut it. They offered to cook another one but it was nearly 9 pm by this point and we arrived for our table booking at 7 pm. The poor waitress was left to deal with the situation. Nobody from management came to apologise. We come down to the New Forest regularly but we won't use the Crown at Bransgore again. Such a shame as we had a lovely meal here earlier in the year.

We had a lovely day we all the family. Lisa the server went above and beyond. Thank you

Lovely pub set in an ideal location. Quite busy when we arrived for lunch. The 2 staff members coped admirably despite the demands on them. A 3rd member of staff should have been rostered to assist.

Delicious food, quick service. Very friendly And helpful staff would definitely recommend lunch. I had lasagne. It was hot when it arrived and just the right amount. Love the atmosphere

Came for lunch with a friend and the Mac n Cheese did not disappoint! Lovely team, lovely food, thank you 😊

Veg for roast dinner was cold even after waiting quite a while for our meal, it states all meals made fresh, cauliflower cheese also cold, sent back the next batch was tough, we like a bite to our veg but this was tough! Manager/assistant manager pleasant and offered a refund then said it was quiet and involved process. Food came out again and still pipping hot! Real shame a duff roast !

Lovely cosy pub, great food and fantastic service that really took the time to cater for my coeliac son, taking the time to check the menus with us and speak to the kitchen, ensuring all ingredients were safe. This is not always the case so was much appreciated.

We had a lovely evening, of good food and great service thanks to Lisa who looked after so well! Even better that we had a voucher, but it was great value for money.

Good food, excellent venue for inside and outside eating. Good choice of drinks and wine. Nice atmosphere. Well worth a visit

The crown is a great place to relax and the food lovely too, always professional service from all staff but Yusuf goes the extra mile every time. Would recommend without hesitation

Came here for a family gathering, the food was amazing i went up to the bar to order myself a cocktail and the barmen yusuf was very helpful and recommended a delicious cocktail, would recommend and will be coming back again.

Lovely meal and great staff, thanks for taking care of us yusuf you are a Credit to the pkace

Came in the other day for a quick get together with friends and absolutely loved it! Food was amazing, atmosphere was just as great. The barmen who’s name if i remember correctly was yusuf was absolutely amazing, very sweet and kind helped me pick out a drink as i wasn’t too sure on what to drink. An amazing experience!!

Visited this place last week, the vibe was super cozy and nice. Menu is so diverse I didn't know what to pick but thankfully Yusuf was there to recommend me the berry burst and sirloin steak combo and let me tell you it was FIRE! The steak was really juicy and delicious, will visit again

I was here on Sunday and the customer service provided by Petra was absolutely fantastic - i felt incredibly welcome and comfortable!! The food was also stellar and left me wanting more. Will definitely return soon ◡̈

I usually don't write reviews, but this time, I had to. Was there with a few friends recently. Great atmosphere and even better food. Got the Pork Belly, and a Passion fruit martini from the bar afterwards. Yusuf recommended it and he really knew what he was doing. Great establishment, will definitely revisit!

We had a delicious dinner and good service throughout by our server Petra. She was very knowledgeable on recommending a suitable wine. We will make it our regular stop off.

Had a fantastic food and drink experience at the Crown.Sunday beef roast with a pint of Tatchers Gold was absolutely delicious and our waitress Petra was very professional helpful and friendly. Thank you, I will definitely recommend your establishment and 100% visit again. Excellent service

Pork Belly and Sunday Roast are 🧡🧡🧡. Thanks for the wonderful food and staff. That Yusuf guy is really friendly and accommodating. Will definitely recommend to friends!

Popped in to celebrate a friends promotion the other day and I have to say the vibe of the place was really nice. I'm not one to drink often but everyone was really enjoying the cocktails so I decided to join in and I have to praise the guy behind the bar, his drinks and attitude was awesome. I think his name was Yusuf? Funny as hell. We will be back again!
