The Forage Deli & Eatery in New Forest

Wonderful lunch spot, the only place that seemed busy on a late December Day, loved the Coronation Chicken Ciabatta and the Milkshake I had was great. Quick, friendly service and reasonably priced.

The place was very busy so I guess some people like it. We had coffee which was really bitter and a tea cake which we were charged £5 for(price is less than that on the online menu!I guess the only thing we can do is vote with our feet. Won’t go there again

Smartly laid out. Attractive decor and clean. This was my second visit . Just as good as the first. Quality food reasonably priced . Very good choices on the menu . Wonderful service . Will continue to visit

We tried here for the first time and it certainly won't be the last. Even though it was very busy, we were met shortly after entering by one of the staff, all of whom seemed happy at their work. A freshly cooked All Day Breakfast and a Jacket Potato with Prawns were served fairly quickly, but piping hot and fresh. Good quality coffee. Tables cleared and cleaned quickly.

Taken here for the first time with by friends for a birthday breakfast, the result perfect. Unable to book a table for breakfast , but the turn over is quite quick despite it being a very popular venue. Service was faultless and food perfectly cooked and well presented half of us had a full English with hash browns the others all selected Spanish omelet, these came with tea and toast. every one thought it was great especially the birthday girl, will definitely get another visit, possibly for evening dinner when tables are bookable. ,

This is a fantastic place to visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious. I have visited a few times and have never once been disappointed.

The place runs like clockwork. We were greeted warmly and the waitress helped adjust what was on the menu to what we wanted. The brunch we had was better than expected . Healthy and slightly indulgent.The staff are beautiful evidence that multiculturalism works. We can't wait to go back

This little cafe is great we always stop off here on our walks through the New Forest. It gets busy on a high street full of cafes and restaurants, so that’s a sign of how good it is. The menus is not over egged and just right, prices are reasonable and the cafe is clean and well presented. The food is nice, good quality and well presented. Most importantly for me its very dog friendly. If i had to improve things, the staff are little stern looking and old late 1800s school teacher/matron in their approach. This will sometimes make me go up the road a few shops for a lighter happier service. Lighten up and smile a bit. However this will not stop me coming back, and we will be there in December on our trek through.

I met a friend here for lunch. We both chose Sourdough with Avocado, Bacon, Halloumi and Tomato, which was delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. We’ll be back.

Very friendly staff, good atmosphere, and good food too - excellent garlic bread from the pizza oven and halloumi salad.

Great omelette and delicious breakfast. Good atmosphere and attentive and friendly staff. Quality food

Amazing place, always a warm welcome, excellent customer service. Good quality tasty food. Very relaxed and friendly. Dogs welcome. 10/10 highly recommend.

Amazing food, service and extremely welcoming staff run by a great owner. Will definitely be back again.

I just came in for lunch but have eaten here many times before, today I had an amazing Spanish omelette, delicious and well made , the server Iwona was so helpful and friendly but I find everyone is here, se tried to tempt me with the amazing puddings too but I was too full up from my lunch, I will be back

Lovely food, and they did my wife's favourite item off the evening menu even though it was lunchtime

Zack was extremely friendly and catered for our every need. Would recommend to anyone visiting Lyndhurst

Dagelijks met grote groep collega’s dagelijks gegeten, service en eten super goed ! Vriendelijke mensen, en regelen het goed. Ook als je met een groep van 10 mensen komt.

A really lovely place. It has a great atmosphere, the smell of the food as you walk in is amazing and the portions are huge and everything was delicious. The service was great and we were made to feel extremely welcome as a family with young children. I really wish more restaurants made you feel like this in the UK. Super.

Fabulous place in Lyndhurst in the New Forest, such friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food is great!

The forage is such an amazing place to go for food, the staff are amazing and so is the food. You are made to feel so special and it is my absolute favourite place to go!

Once again we popped into Forage for a quick brunch and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was pretty crowded and we had to wait for about 5 minutes. Once we were seated at our table the waitress came up immediately. And the service was...

We had 3 cups of tea, 1 sandwich and a piece of cake it came to £30! Food was okay but certainly nothing special

Enjoyed the food. It is really a cafe which it's good at.. fast turn around etc.. not the place for a more relaxed meal. They didn't swap my egg for an alternative for my full breakfast.. really strange as never had that before unless it's...

Called in for afternoon coffee and cake. Great coffee and the carrot cake was very tasty. All of the food being served looked amazing. wished we lived nearer so could come again. The staff were all really friendly. Also just want to say a big...

Stopped off here on the way to the coast for lunch. Excellent food (coronation chicken ciabatta), and very friendly and efficient staff. Coffee was one of the best I've tasted!

Delicious enormous plates of food. Good variety of choices. Good coffee Excellent service &surroundings

£5 for a rather small slice of carrot cake (take away at that!), seems very steep! Although it was a very nice cake, I won't be buying from there again.

Absolutely fantastic meal once again at this lovely restaurant. The food and staff are excellent and I can highly suggest this restaurant

Great food and an excellent service. The pizzas were excellent and the staff very attentive and quick. A great place for young families.

This was spot on! food was fantastic and the service was top notch, loved the tea and coffee will defiantly return!

Really nice vegan breakfast and a great cappuccino with oat milk after a 7 mile hike before 0900 this morning. V nice staff who made it even more enjoyable

Great location , staff really friendly and helpful and food always delicious , and served quick no matter how busy . Service is always great

Excellent service, delicious food, friendly and helpful staff. Very aware of the needs of those with different diets such as Coeliacs, Vegans etc.

We visited here specifically for the pizza because they have a massive pizza oven we’re everything is wood fired, made fresh right beyond your eyes. There is a good range of flavours to chose from. I had the meaty and it was very flavourful topped...

Visited for lunch, had lovely sandwiches, very fresh bread and lots of filling, one was the steak sandwich, the other duck. Tea pot gave three cups of tea, bargain. Really friendly and helpful staff, lunch came very quickly. Reasonably priced. Dog friendly.

Light, airy and spotless interior. Friendly efficient staff. Good food and drinks, nicely presented. Eclectic clientele who mix unselfconsciously - regulars being greeted by owner - who is often on site - with a gracious handshake. Best place in Lyndhurst so far as we are...

Brillant restaurant in Lyndhurst, nice location on main street, good menu and very attentive staff. Lots to choose from always hot food and very reasonable prices.

Really friendly people buetiful food and propper coffee thank you I will be back. Plus it was so hot outdoors, but they had verry large cooling fans running, and as I was in motercycle kit so they sat me in direct full air flow.

Met some friends here on a Friday evening after being recommended by others. The restaurant was fairly quiet when we arrived and we hadn’t even sat down when we were asked what drinks we wanted! The waiter then sighed while we were looking at the...

Excellent central location with a great choice of seating areas, with plenty of space between tables, this restaurant is by far the best in Lyndhurst. The customer service was fantastic with very polite and attentive staff and the variety and quality food was superb! This...

My wife and I just happened to be passing, so we stopped for a coffee. The place inside was buzzing, we decided to sit outside. We were urged to try a bit of cake, and having nil willpower, opted for Honeycomb fudge cheesecake. So glad...

A disappointing birthday dinner for my nine year old granddaughter. Despite there being seven of us eating, my seventeen year old granddaughter was refused a kids portion of chicken goujons and chips. We were told that she had to have a double portion of the...

Very good dinner nice pizza, brunch good too, my friends recommended this place and I wasn’t disappointed

What can I say about this place. The breakfast was good.I had traditional breakfast with enough tea to sink a submarine but that's not a negative. The dinner is where it stood out. The atmosphere, the service and the food were fantastic. The seafood tagliatelle...

Wandered into this diamond of a eatery. We were greeted by the lovely manager Yvonna and got served by the most efficient waiter your find he calls himself the monster lol he was like a octopus :) . Food was great all freshly cooked and...

Best spot ever!!! We can't in as a large part of nine and were seated, given excellent service, given so many accomodations and excellent, attentive service. Food was fantastic and came quickly, the menu is broad and has loads to offer -- 5 stars!!

Amazing food and service! We were a big group with lots of dietary requirements and they accommodated everything perfectly!

I was visiting Lyndhurst again and my family and I popped into The Forage for a brunch - we were not disappointed. It was a superb day and we sat ourside. As usual the staff were efficient and quickly served us our meal We be...

lovely place, great food and amazing service. they really go above and beyond! vegan friendly, very accomodating.

This place was a godsend! 9 of us out for a trip with varying vegan and gluten free diatery requirements. They specially cleared seating for us and were amazing accommodating all our needs! Food was amazing and very generous portions for price

The breakfast was perfect, the staff were very friendly, very clean, brilliant price. If I didn't live a 5 hour drive away I would be there often 😁

Lovely, friendly restaurant, delicious fresh food and great service. Can thoroughly recommend the breakfasts. We were made to feel so comfortable and welcome, even with a child, dog and vegan (me!) in our group.

Firstly, the welcome you receive from the owner is outstanding and you immediately know that you’re being looked after even though the restaurant was full when we arrived. All the staff are very attentive and they were really quick on service. The food was excellent,...

Popped in for an early breakfast on Monday. Plenty of seats and super friendly staff. Happy to help and great healthy options. Granola - Forage bowl with blueberries, yoghurt, honey and banana. Will come again.

Stopped here for breakfast on way to Isle of Wight. Breakfast was lovely and staff exceptional. Also stopped here on way home for dinner it was getting late and we needed to eat before the long journey home (as had child with us) and although...

Lovely food and great service. Seriously recommend this place! My only reservation about a great review is that it will get even busier and I won’t be able to get in!

Patio area out back very nice. Rainbow salad delicious and filling and great value at £12. And two sources of protein. Two veggie sausages for the dogs, also very yummy. Water for dogs. Efficient polite staff. Very good indeed.

We had excellent food and service also great gluten free selection. Thoroughly would recommend 👌 if you are near Lyndhurst

Really nice looking restaurant and in a good location right opposite the main carpark in the high street. Good selection of food and portion sizes were excellent, even the "kids" portion was huge. We had pasta, pizza and kids meal and all were excellent. Unfortunately...

This is an excellent find in Lyndhurst, both as a restaurant and a cafe. We had dinner there on Saturday and we so impressed with the food and atmosphere, came back for breakfast the next morning, and tea in the afternoon. The staff were friendly...

Had a great Speg Bol here, wife had lasagne, both meals very nice and reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful, can't fault either the food or service!

We have been there just for sone desert and coffe with my family. Deserts were magnificant. Also we tasted Margarita pizza it was like in Italy. The stuff was wery kind as well. I reccomend definetely. We will go more often after that first visit:)

The food was nothing short of incredible! And the staff made us feel very welcome especially zac! Great spot for a bite to eat any time of day, will definitely be returning

Came here for the first time today after a walk at Boltons Bench. The food was superb. Lovely & fresh. The service was excellent. Will definitely be back to try out the lunch & evening menu.

Great food and service as always.My husband and I have been here a number of times now and it’s always good. We have brought friends and family on various occasions. Lovely choices for all palettes and the coffee’s great too. Will visit again soon.

We had a lovely dinner here. We hadn't booked but they managed to fit us in. The food was very tasty but maybe a little bit over priced. The service was good.

My husband and I have enjoyed a fantastic breakfast here on more than occasion . The staff are friendly and professional. The food is delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Best Pizza ever (my wife’s words). Great service too! Thank you. I also enjoyed the seafood tagliatelle. Wide ranging menu, nice atmosphere and very friendly!

Exceptional food served beautifully. Service great with friendly attentive staff. Selection of dishes good at dinner but more varied with lunchtime menu. The restaurant is spotless and you can watch all food being cooked to order which proves how fresh everything is.

Always awesome ! Great brunch and stunning coffee.revcomend the avocado smash.excellent service and standards.

We go the the Forage regularly and it’s brilliant, from the amazing breakfast in the morning to the evening meals, the staff are the best and for uncomplicated really amazing food it’s simply the best 💯🤩

Great place to eat, with a wonderful outside area, well varied menu, and very friendly staff, will definitely be returning soon, Drinks are a bit expensive compared to other places, but the food makes up for that

Lovely coffee and toasted tea cake; we were quickly seated in a lovely, clean space at the window. Attentive, friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere; we’ll visit again!

The food was average, but the service was the best I've ever experienced. We managed to have outdoor seating away from the crowd indoors and was very relaxing for my autistic son. Waiters were extremely friendly and catered to our needs by offering halal options...

Really lovely Italian restaurant with first class friendly service and absolutely gorgeous food superbly presented. You must leave room for the fabulous deserts, especially the cheesecake ( I didn’t ) & now I’m going back again to correct that error. Truly first class experience.5*

nice food great atmosphere friendly staff Ivana did a great job as usual will be back also do a great breakfast

We have come multiple times before for brunch, this time we came for our anniversary dinner. The restaurant area is dog friendly which was really great as we were away with our dog. As always, food was fresh and delicious. Huge portions with lots of...

Stopped for a quick bite to eat. The staff were friendly, professional and efficient. Had a pizza which was very tasty and reminded me of being in Italy. Food came quickly and I would definitely visit again. Thank you.

The best brunches in the New Forest. Always fresh and tasty with huge portions! Often don't need to eat for the rest of the day if we've been here for lunch. Nice courtyard garden to sit in if weather permits. Our go to for brunch!

Visited for a weekday lunch. Staff were very friendly and we were served quickly but without feeling rushed. We had a spaghetti bolognese and the Avo Smasher. Both dishes were delicious. There was lots to choose from on the menu so we will have to...

We come to the New Forest every year for a friendly tradition. Every time we come, we make sure to go to the Forage for breakfast and dinner. The staff are great and always try to make sure we are settled and enjoying our food....

Me and my friends favourite restaurant in the new forest !! Second time we have gone for dinner then returned for breakfast the next morning as we love the food so much. The staff are the friendliest and always so accommodating. Lots of options on...

Fantastic restaurant. I have specific dietary needs and contacted the restaurant before hand and spoke to the chef. Was all perfectly cooked and accommodated my needs. My partner said sea bass was best he had had for a long time.

Enjoyed a great breakfast here on a rainy Friday morning. Place was busy but service was fast and pleasant and food was lovely with such large portions we hardly ate for the rest of the day!

Have been to The Forage many times. Today, was not the service we have had previously. We arrived and had only just sat down when we felt we were pounced on for an order. We have a drinks ordered and the someone else came for...

Excellent breakfast today. Very pleasant staff. Altogether a great experience. Definitely will return.

We came to the new forest on our holiday and discovered this beautiful restaurant. Cheap prices for beautiful home cooked food. Even the pizza dough was made on site. The menu is amazing, literally something for everyone. Took us ages to decide on what to...

This is a nicely decorated and modern Italian restaurant with very good friendly service. The portions were quite big and I struggled to eat my tagliatelle, which was nice and tasty. My husband said the pizza was quite good too, although there was too much...
