The Filly Inn in New Forest

The food was great but the owner/ manager was insulting and rude. First of all when my grandson’s legs wouldn’t fit under a table due to it having a ledge around it we asked if we could move tables ( the place was empty) he said a table is a table so move if you must, secondly we asked if they did garlic bread as my eight year old granddaughter enjoys it as a starter and he scoffed at us saying ‘this isn’t a Harvester’ and we don’t have processed grated cheese (we didn’t ask for cheese garlic bread and surely any chef can make a price garlic bread! He was condescending to say the least - and for his information we have never ate at a Harvester but I’m sure their staff would be better mannered. Unfortunately my family and I were too taken aback to challenge him. Then throughout the meal he was stood in the restaurant talking very loudly on his phone - a totally rude man! Maybe he just does not like people from the north and thinks we live on fast food restaurant food? However he does have an excellent chef as the food was very good.

Really terrific historic inn. One of the best I've stayed in and I've stayed in a few. Perfect blend of history and modernity, room was great with huge super comfy bed, terrific shower and even fabulous condiments, not your usual nescafe and custard creams. Food was fantastic, great breakfast and best Calamari I've tasted. Staff super friendly and helpful, loved listening to their ghosty tales (the highwayman said to haunt the place). The whole interior was delightful, plenty of comfy chairs unlike so many places with their restauranty feel. First class in every way, will be back for sure. Minor niggle, no do not disturb sign in bedroom but a great two night stay overall.

Came here twice for dinner whilst staying on the local campsite. Very good service, tempting menu and high quality food cooked well for reasonable prices. The only downside was the lack of atmosphere in the dining room and rather bland decor and furniture.

Went for Sunday lunch. Ordered three chicken roasts, came with no pigs and blankets even tho the menu stated it did. Told the waiting staff just smiled awkwardly and said sorry, still didn't get them. Average sized portions, nothing to hit home about. Lovely place tho, a bit of a let down overall

Excellent friendly pub, we visited twice while staying in the area and both time the food and service was excellent. Special mentions to Lauren and Martyn who served us. If you’re in the area, go eat here, you won’t regret it. Next time we visit the New Forest we will be eating here again.

We were staying in the area and visited for Sunday lunch, which was excellent, I had the roast pork belly, my wife the sirloin steak. We liked it so much we went back on the Tuesday night and again the food was excellent. Great atmosphere and decor. We were served by Martin & Lauren who were both friendly and efficient. If you’re in the area I’d highly recommend you eat here.

Had a lovely meal from The Supper Club menu. Great value and a really good choice of options. Service first class from all staff especially Lauren.

Really great Inn. Beautifully clean with rooms that are very pleasant indeed with great size bed and bathroom. Staff were amazing, really polite and so helpful. Highly recommend.

This was an outstanding Sunday roast a great Sunday lunch experience, excellent chef! top marks to the kitchen. Everything on all the plate's was spot on. Beer choices, furniture decor and service all excellent. We were so impressed with it all. Looking forward to coming back.

Disappointing experience. Went for Sunday roast. Young staff were not very welcoming and not briefed on the menu. I ordered the lamb rump which the waitress did not know was available & was looking at the printed menu for it. I told her it was on the blackboard & asked if it came with the Sunday roast sides. She did not know and had to ask another member of staff. We could see our food on the pass but it was not brought to us for a considerable time despite staff walking past. We were not asked if we would like to try our wine, it was just poured. The lamb was quite tough & hard to cut and I didn’t enjoy it at all although my friend enjoyed her pork. Vegetables were ok but the Yorkshires were cold. There was a hair on my plate (definitely not mine) which I’m not surprised about as one of the waitresses had long loose hair which she regularly flicked and touched. There was minimal gravy on the food so we asked for more. We were shocked when the bill came by the £1 charge for this and the service charge which we asked to be removed as we felt the service was indifferent and unwelcoming.

We stayed for one night and couldn’t find fault with anything… we ate in the restaurant and the food was very good… Martin was exceptionally courteous and friendly… room comfortable and was especially nice having fresh coffee in the room. Would highly recommend the filly and plan to come back..

Just had a wonderful Sunday roast at the Filly inn. Th vegan option was delicious , a lovely filo wellington. My husband had the roast chicken which was equally delicious with beautiful fresh vegetables and all the usual trimmings. The pub itself is warm and inviting. The staff ( we had Gemma and Martin) were so friendly and helpful. We Will definitely be returning and thoroughly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Filly Inn and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The menu offered a delightful variety of dishes, and everything we ordered was nothing short of spectacular. The trout was particularly impressive, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The ingredients tasted fresh, and it was evident that the chefs take great pride in their craft. Additionally, the portion sizes were generous, ensuring great value for the price. The service was equally commendable. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, providing excellent recommendations. The staff worked seamlessly together, ensuring that our needs were met promptly without feeling rushed. It truly enhanced the overall dining experience. The ambiance of the pub was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of comfort and style. Whether you're looking for a casual meal with friends or a cozy dinner date, the Filly provides the ideal setting. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy outstanding food and service. Our three night stay was absolutely amazing. The room we stayed in looked stunning. The hotel is so beautiful and I love that it’s dog friendly there. I am looking forward to my next visit!

Waited over 2 hours for food. When it finally arrived it was cold and poorly cooked

Stopped in for lunch. Amazing food

We booked a table initially outside, and on arival we were given dirty menus and told to order at the bar. We ordered a starter to share (hummus and flatbread), which we have had before. This time, it arrived slopped onto the plate and the flatbread looking like it had been ripped up by hand. Really unappetising presentation. No side plates were provided either.The mains arrived, burger and chips, the chips had been reheated multiple times and were tasteless bits of tough cardboard. They were returned and swiftly replaced with the same but hotter dry cardboard chips. The burger was completely inedible. The waitress asked if everything was OK, to which we shared our feedback. The meal was taken off the bill by Ella who looked embarrassed by our experience. It's unfortunate but we would never return based on the dire kitchen /food and perceived cleanliness issue. Real shame as its our local!

Recently we’ve chosen to stay at pubs with rooms, rather than hotels, as just a bit cosier. The Filly Inn did not disappoint!! We had a wonderful stay. The staff were second to none, mostly young and with a really great attitude.. friendly and helpful. Must mention Mollie, Lauren, Gemma and Callan but there were others and I’m so sorry not to be able to remember their names. Martin the Manager was great. Our room had everything we needed, along with some lovely touches like homemade biscuits, fresh milk, lovely amenity packs and fabulous body wash etc. The food was incredible. Lots of choice at breakfast and everything cooked perfectly. The evening menu was equally as good and it seemed to be a really popular place to eat. The vibe is very chilled but really efficient. We had a brilliant week and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Filly. Thank you for having us!

Consistently fantastic food and service. Love this spot. Thanks team! The open steak sandwich is recommended. Great selection of drinks as well. Can't wait to come back.

We had quite a bad experience at the Filly.The quality of the food was just awful. We had a roast dinner,the potatoes had clearly been reheated several times to the point of not even being able to cut them. The veg was very much under cooked. The creamed leaks had no cream. The stuffing was the size of an old 10p piece and the chicken was dry and over cooked. The staff were clearly not motivated to provide a warm welcome and something that does annoy me personally is when a restaurant automatically puts on a service charge especially when you do NOT get a good service.

We had been driving past The Filly Inn for a while, we bit the bullet and stopped. Glad we did as we found a lovely pub with very cheerful staff giving us a warm welcome. Food was good and hot and we didn't have to wait long. We had a dog with us which was no problem and the pub has doggy biscuits for you to take. We returned again and sat in the lovely covered area in their large garden and again were met with a nice greeting and had Chicken bits and a couple of Bowls of Chips that were nice and hot. Would recommend this pub.

Visited today. Lovely pub with fantastic garden area. Only disappointment was the 6oz steak sandwich I had. It was neither a sandwich or 6oz steak. Thin strips of over cooked steak (asked for medium) on a piece of bread. A steak sandwich should be just that, steak in a sandwich. It shouldn’t be hard.

Visiting friend in the area went for a evening meal here, lovely warm welcome with various choice on the menu from pub classic’s and some with a twist several special specials along with some sharing plates The pub was quite busy and both bar staff and waitressing staff very friendly and welcoming The pork bites where very tasty along with the pork rump and my husband who is always cautious about having a burger (bad experience in the past) said it was perfect, also recommended the French onion soup and the prawn and crab pasta Well worth a visit if you are in the area

Fabulous atmosphere , friendly welcoming staff. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Would definitely stay again, although if you are a light sleeper the traffic sound may interrupt your night. Clean spacious and great facilities in the bedroom. The cost was perfect for the two nights stay. Thanks to all the staff @ The Filly

Lovely Hotel and Food great staff . Sadly I was taken ill and only stayed 1 night of the 2 we had booked The hotel would not refund the 1 night which we thought mean as I was ill and had to return home

An impromptu anniversary dinner; despite the restaurant being fully booked, we were welcomed and encouraged to choose one of the delightful nooks in the adjoining bar, where we ordered from the same menu. We expected a wait, but the service was very swift for the starters: delightful pork cubes with chili apple sauce, and tasty chicken strips with mayonnaise. We both chose pies for main; a shredded slow-cooked lamb shepherd's and a chicken and ham-hock in short crust. Once again, the service was spot-on and the quality was fabulous. Add a good range of desserts, some interesting ales on tap (and some intriguing cocktails), plus friendly efficient service and a large outside space... and I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely pub! Thanks for a great evening, Filly Inn!!

2 night stay with dogs. Walks close to hotel, breakfast good. Dinner in hotel one night. Good place to stay with dog.

Lovely place to sit outside and have a drink. Good atmosphere. The food is not so fab... I wouldn't eat here again. We tried a variety of staters and mains. They were all mostly overcooked/very dry. I would go again for drinks, but that's all.

We rocked up without a booking and were met by a very friendly and helpful lady who showed us to a quiet and empty corner of the bar so that we could eat with our anxious GSDs. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the New Forest. In fact, the southern fried chicken strips were absolutely phenomenal! Highly recommend! The guy on the bar/waiting was also really polite and friendly. Lovely pub and will definitely be back for more chicken strips when we next visit the area! Oh and the whole place was lovely and clean and just very tastefully decorated in general.

I always used to go here on work visits to New Forest. I’ve now found much friendlier and professional pubs.. where the owner isn’t sitting shouting and swearing about people who don’t know what cruet means. Food is always average and you have to clear your own table if you want plates gone.

Perfect Location, wonderfull people, really good Food and drinks.

Really great food - our Sunday lunch was delicious. The staff were really friendly and welcoming.

We had dinner at The Filly Inn and it was really average. It felt like all the dishes were pre made and just heated up in a microwave. My husband had bangers and mash and it was the worst bangers and mash he has ever had! Would not go again. Both our main courses were bland and it felt rushed, really really disappointed! There are much better pubs in the area.

Very rude staff, we had phoned before our arrival to check there was a table for us, when we arrived we stood and waited and didn’t even get as much as a ‘hello’ or ‘i’ll be with you in a minute’ we were just blatantly ignored, so we decided to leave. Very rude!

Lovely surrounds, great menu and service very good.

Arrived without a booking and was glad to get a room. Room 4 actually has no windows just two velux skylights that could not be opened due to rain, so it was a little warm for me. Nice bathroom and I actually slept well. Breakfast not quite as fabulous as the very personable landlord had promised, but I don’t eat eggs or beans which didn’t leave much on the English breakfast. The main attraction is that they are dog friendly and brought my dog sausages for breakfast so she’ll definitely be back. Septic tank in garden could probably do with emptying.

Nice pub, pleasant outdoor seating area. Served quickly and staff were very nice too. Food was lukewarm on arrival but we were hungry so just ate it. My fishfinger sandwich was two dry pieces of unbuttered bread, lettuce and small piece of fish, it was tasteless. Pork bites were soft too. Chips looked like they had been reheated and full of ‘end ‘ bits. Took 5 minutes to come so we knew it had not been cooked fresh. Cost with drinks was almost £40. I know we should have complained at the time, but we had just started our mini break and just thought we were a bit unlucky. Maybe we were??

Interesting. Eating both onside & out doors. Excellent food. Customers over many years.

Great pub and modern dining room. Excellent food. It has changed hugely in 30 years. Fantastic.

Vegetarian Wellington was a masterpiece, dont miss this even if you are not a veggie. You won't regret it. Very good service

We had a lovely meal for my dad’s 70th birthday. The staff were very friendly, attentive and efficient. There were plenty of choices for food and drink, service was quick and my meal was delicious. The pub had a lovely atmosphere and the decor was beautiful. They have a lovely outside space too. Will definitely be visiting again.

We stopped here today for a family meal. The staff are an absolute asset to this pub; friendly, polite and welcoming. Food was amazing and priced very well for the level of quality and portion size. The atmosphere, decoration and outside space are styled beautifully. Thank you for making a pop in meal memorable. We'll definitely be back next time we visit the area.

Came here for dinner after a nice hike around Beaulieu. Unluckily the supper menu deal wasn't available on bank holiday so we ordered veg soup and Vietnamese curry. I wasn't a fan of the curry but the Steak pie was delicious highly recommended.

We had a wonderful lunch here. They are very dog friendly and even bought out a bowl of water for our cockerpoo. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We would go again.

Great staff, lovely rooms & pub. Sweet little touches ie treats in the bar for dogs, a little sausage served with breakfast for dogs, spare wellies, dog poo bin (I’ve stayed in places where your wondering around with dog waste as no bin supplied) Breakfast was delicious, we had dinner there too which was nice. Rooms were clean & had all we needed plus a delicious welcome cookie 🍪. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed some lovely walks. We hope to return. Thank you

It was a nice place, food was nice, didn't like the green veg much, would've liked more carrot 🥕 cos I got about a quarter of one which i liked very much, quite pricey I thought.

When we arrived the staff new who we were and that my wife required Gluten-free options, an adjusted menu was ready to go. Multiple food options were provided and it all tasted incredible. The room was as cosy as it looked on the website and all the little touches like a razor and shaving foam and other toiletries really made the difference. The service was on point and all of the staff were attentive and friendly. It was also the best night's sleep we have had in a long time. Excellent all round.

The Filly Inn is in a great location and has been renovated beautifully with a great space both indoors and out. The restaurant was a bit disappointing. Service was slow and the fish and chips was mostly batter. The sandwich was nothing special. The table next to us were gluten-free and struggled with the menu options. Would we go there for a drink-yes but for a meal -no.

Perfect location to walk into the forest, but that’s as far as positives go. Room extremely hot and noisy, not the cleanest or best maintained, service was not great- everything was an inconvenience, food was ok however burger was burnt and certainly not worth £16 but due to being remote and unable to eat outside food at the hotel due to hotel rules, we didn’t have much of a choice. I wouldn’t necessarily say dog friendly- didn’t witness any of the things others did (dog treats, dog shampoo), shame as the “dog friendly reviews” were the reason we stayed here. May have just been a bad week as some others reviews were far from what we saw, but personally wouldn’t return to stay or to eat.

Oh my… if you haven’t joined the filly inn for the monthly Saturday excursion with lots of local furry friends- it’s one to do! After a lovely bacon butty and latte and a few lovely local doggie treats - you set off for a guided walk with Holly and Dave and a heap of eager waggy tails for a 3-4 mile walk - fun had by all - in both the rain and the sunshine! After all our energy used up from the walk - get back to a great lunch or a cold thirst quenching pint:-) and a bowl of fresh cold water and a muddy wash down for the little ones. Having stayed at the hotel and joined the walk - the pub has lots of treats for furry friends and I really think one of the most friendly and welcoming pubs/hotel in the New Forest that makes an real difference to socialising with your dog! Something to look forward to every last Saturday of the month by my two furry doggies and me! PS the bacon butty is fab - Thank you!

Lovely pub/hotel, we stayed in August with our 2 dogs and have driven down from Surrey a couple of times since for food because it was so nice. The hosts Dave and Hollie are so welcoming and friendly and The Filly is spotlessly clean and is super dog friendly, we will definitely be staying again soon.

Came with my spaniel for the monthly dog walk. Then stayed for lunch. Warm and friendly welcome - for both of us - with complimentary tea/coffee and crispy bacon bap (delicious!) and various treats for our four legged friends. Lovely walk along with a friendly group in a beautiful area before returning to wash dogs off. Back inside this beautiful old traditional pub to choose something from the varied and tantalising menu 😋. I've never yet been disappointed. Great company and atmosphere. What a perfect way to spend a Saturday! Big thank you to Holly and Dave (and Sky) for all the thought and effort that make this place so exceptional!

Probably the worst experience we have had! We quite often spend weekends away, but this time we wanted to take the dog with us and this seemed to be the perfect access point to the forest! Please don't be fooled by this places reviews, dog tolerant yes, friendly I'm not so sure. Maybe it was at one time but it is not nomore, disappointing considering this is why we booked here. There was no "dog sausage" or "dog shampoo". Had to be hosed with freezing cold water in the rain before being allowed in, none of the staff seemed like dog lovers and felt very unwelcoming. Everything was too much trouble. Was not allowed to eat our own food in the room, nor were we allowed to eat their food in our room. Our whole weekend was ruined by the inability to sleep due to the sweltering temperatures which could only be controlled with air con, granted it was a Dyson unit but not even that could cool the temperatures of here due to broken windows that could not be opened. Not only this, the light came in as blinds were also broken, also the sound of scurrying all night long and passing traffic which obviously they cannot be blamed for but makes for a poor experience. We were moved room but this one didn't differ much from the first in terms of cleanliness. The place has potential, is decorated nicely but sloppy service, poor rules and lack of cleanliness (lots of dust and mouldy shower) lets this place down! Wouldn't return and would have rather paid slightly more elsewhere and had a pleasant weekend! Also, make sure to check prices as I paid £214 for 2 nights via booking.com and have now seen that they are up for sale for 3 nights for £189!

Thank you again for an absolutely splendid lunch today. The food was absolutely excellent, piping hot, freshly cooked, flavourful and clearly very good quality, excellent value. I was coaxed into returning here by my friend after a rather long hiatus, as this is under new management and with a new chef. What a really great visit this was, and what a difference to last year. A very, very warm welcome, and not just dog friendly, but dog passionate haha. We are looking forward to going here much more often now and I'll be suggesting it to friends. Carry on doing exactly what you are doing. Thank you again!!

Lovely spot on a beautiful Jan 2024 day , wanted a lovely roast dinner that we have here many times before, however beef was tough whole meal was cold sent it back

Room fantastic food amazing and staff lovely. The bed huge beautifully decorated room. Vegetarian meal really super definitely recommend

I hadn't been to the Filly Inn for several years as the last visit was disappointing. I happened to be in the area and saw that it had been renovated, so decided to give it a go! We received a warm welcome, and were impressed with the new décor. The food and service was very good and will definitely return.

We stayed for 2 nights. Comfortable rooms. Spotlessly clean. I forgot my toothbrush and there was a bag of essentials hanging up in the bathroom. Hairdryer. Ironing board tea and coffee making facilities. Even fresh home mode cookies. Breakfast was excellent as was the evening meal. I highly recommend this pub

A return visit for Christmas Eve. Family group of six, inc. two vegans. Festive menu. Drinks. All good. Would we go for a third time? Quite possibly.

Tasty food and a well stocked bar. We sat in the lovely beer garden, which also welcomes dogs. From a cost point of view prices are in line with others in the New Forest.

This pub is CLOSED!! It was closed for refurb just before lockdown and the work was never done. It is SHUT, boarded up and fenced off. I went past it myself today.

Food is bad, Service is bad and the owners are horrible horrible people. Please don't waste your money on these people they ate not worth it.

Food is terrible. Workers are rude and the owners are the most low life scum I have ever encountered.

Arranged a cream tea and a walk with my wife !!! Cancelled no reason given !!! Poor customer service! No communication means no return custom honesty and transparency key for a business to thrive

Visited for family lunch just before New Year. Most of the menu choices advertised on the website were unavailable. Despite ordering standard pub grub from a very limited menu, food took an hour to arrive. Another couple got fed up waiting and walked out. No-one asked if meal was ok. Overpriced for the quality delivered. This pub will need to seriously up its game if it wants to survive after its refurbishment.

We have visited this pub several times when we are on holiday in the new forest. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. I had a fantastic prawn sandwich and fries delightfully presented on a board with lovely salad garnish and a proper portion of skinny fries. We will be back.

Turned up lunchtime today 4/1/20 after a long walk to find pub closed for refurb .There is no notification of this on their website so a very poor show. Will not be visiting again in the near future if planning/communication is that bad.

Like the previous reviewer our family have had several Christmas day dinners out in the last few years. The choice on the menu was good and the actual meal was the best we have had so far. There were nice touches such as an 'amuse bouche' to start and pallet cleansing Orange Sorbet with Cointreau in between courses. It was very good value for money. It was also lovely for our family member who needs a Gluten free diet to actually have a good range of options.Thanks to Liam and the team who looked after us. He explained that they would take time in serving the courses so we would have a relaxing afternoon. We certainly did, we went home relaxed and replete, as did the other parties we talked to at the bar.

We have eaten here before and had a great Sunday lunch but whether it was the time of year I don’t know but the food was truly disappointing. All deep fried and not very good.

Visited this pub as a group of 9. Had very lovely home cooked food, staff were very nice & friendly and welcomed our children & accompanying dog. Only downside was the time it took for our food and deserts to arrive, but this is NOT ding-dining so delays are to be expected. Clean and well presented establishment would definitely visit again.

A very uninspiring first night of our new forest break! No atmosphere, lack of warmth and coziness, food very average! They swapped out an item in our shared fish platter because they’d run out but didn’t bother to tell us! Strange!

My family, a party of 4, had our Christmas Day meal at the Filly.Having eaten out on Christmas Day many times before at various places, we all agreed that the meal at the Filly was the best we have had.The food was excellent, of a really high standard and really tasty.The service was also great, really friendly and as there was only one sitting, was totally unrushed which was excellent.Our thanks to the chefs and all the serving staff for a lovely meal.

We enjoyed a fabulous steak meal with all the trimmings and a glass of wine bought through Groupon. Excellent value and superb service too, we shall return with friends. Pub is very dog friendly but we’d left ours at home but next time she can come too. Highly recommend this place.
