The Haywain in New Forest

Decent Sunday roast, good value

Good food. Very friendly staff can never do enough for you. Great place to eat. Recommended.

The food is superb. The staff are so lovely and engaging they treat you like your family and they really can't do enough for you. It's cheap and cheerful and extremely good value for money for 4 of us it's 50 pound for good sizes meals plus drinks that is why this has been a regular spot for me and my family since we go once a week to this lovely establishment.

Buffet breakfast, great choice and fantastic price.

Good fresh carvery. Lovely staff brilliant atmosphere. 21 of us met there for my 40th birthday lunch. They sat us in our own room with bar. Everything was top notch

Took our son there for his birthday,not been here for years,quite a shock,not only has it changed hands but was tired and unloved.food was reasonable,roost potatoes were one lump in the tray,stuffing inedible so hard,all neede to be hot.

Hot and didn't seem very clean .

The most awful pizza ever..over cooked rock hard and tasteless with very little topping.!!!

Staff friendly , food arrived quick , food was good

Great visit, customer service was good, staff very polite and made sure if everything was okay. Food arrived quickly and me and my family really enjoyed the food, overall a really good experience will definitely visit again.

Kians pizza was the best pizza I’ve ever had in my 18 years on this planet, absolutely busting 10/10

Service is great. Food is ok-ish.

Very polite and friendly staff especially shelby who went above and beyond with her customer service which made our visit a happy one (even tho she told us there was no fish 😂)

Lovely pub Great staff, Tyler is always ready with a smile to help anyone.We love going to for a fab roast dinner & will continue to return

Alfie brought over our pigs in blankets expertly and gave great service.

Me and my friend came here for dinner and drinks. Food is great, especially for the price it is, service amazing as per usual. Drinks absolutely stunning. Love it here, would definitely recommend!!!!

Carvery was nice apart from the potatoes being out late lovely atmosphere staff are friendly. Would only order a sundae if you are going to get dessert as cakes are very dry and apple and cinnamon pie is bland

after 5yrs its about time i updated my review. at The Haywain i still cant fault the service, cleanliness, food or prices. if i had a niggle it would be the poor phone and wifi signal, so ordering at the table using the app can be iffy, especially if youve got a voucher code (if youre unsuccessful on the app and then try to order at the bar the voucher comes up as having been used)

We had carvery and the turkey and beef was very tasty. Roast potatoes were crispy and lovely rich gravy. The waitress friendly and helpfull we had our work christmas lunch and she went and got our drinks for us to save us going to the bar. All in all a very enjoyable lunch. Would go there again

I have personally been here quite a few times very friendly staff really good good and quality food would highly recommend

Good food, good atmosphere. Will definitely come again.

Had a lovely veggie carvery here and my partner had a regular carvery. Both 5 star. Amazing chef. Really recommend this place

lovely food lovely place the staff are so nice

This place has changed a lot; it's been eventually nice and very clean. We love the new Manager, Lady; she is so friendly, polite, and always welcoming with a beautiful smile. We are visiting this place more often because of her amazing service 🌸

Really nice food and staff. Great prices, we will definitely be back

Lovely and very kind staff. Amazing food. The gammon from the roast was particularly good

We accidentally arrived 10 minutes before they stopped serving food and they were still giving amazing service and the food was delicious

What a place! The two chaps behind the bar were impeccable! Banterous and great customer service! And those pizza’s were to die for! Thank you for a great night

We love the Haywain, the carvery is definitely a favourite! Offers are really good too with 50% off different things on different days, and more deals if you download the app. The staff are always friendly even when super busy! Brilliant food and brilliant service! Big thanks especially to Dan!

Staff were very helpful and went above and beyond for our party of 10.

Pleasent service Quick turn around on kids meals Tasty food

Ok for the price but don't expect anything special

Great food, very friendly service!

Good food and a great price. Service is great as always. Very attentive. Will be back.

Me and my partner come here regularly. Great customer service and never had a bad meal. Highly recommend. Their roast are amazing.

Friendly welcome and reliable carvery service.

Food slow to come out. Fish and chips really greasy and some black chips. Stella cloudy. Calzone carvery was tasty though

We had a lovely family lunch here. Ellie seemed to be doing everything - serving, waitressing, taking orders, clearing tables - and always with a smile. Really enjoyed the food and great service.

Our 1st visit here and it was an absolute joke of a place food never turned up after an hour and forty five minutes of waiting with young hungry children the staff just avoided the dining area as much as possible it seemed and we had to find them to get any information the other guests where having the same problem and when food turns up on another table we overheard them complain that the burger was stone cold after our lengthy wait we asked for a refund and left as we couldn't wait any longer and went to McDonald's we won't be going here again and now waiting to be refunded. Update of review spoke to a manager called who told me they would chase up my refund and call me didn't call me that was now four days and it's been ten days and still no refund tried to call yesterday with no luck so the poor service is still happening as I can't seem to get my money back from these lot.

Great meal. Roasties were perfect. Very nice Sunday roast and great service.

Breakfast very nice my friend won't come again cuz he got to pay for mushrooms the rest great

Not so good got there 9.30am no sausages, no backon eggs were very snotty not really cooked enough. It's disappointing it's as if they don't care. There was no tray on the toast machine so if you had toast it flew out on the table. Wasn't overly busy so no need for not having food cooked at that time of the day.

We popped in for Sunday lunch just 3 of us . Wasn't to busy . We had our roast then ordered puddings. One arrived and we waited over 20 minutes for 2 more to arrive. In the mean time we were told we would have to leave our table so a group could come in . I think that was so rude considering we didn't even have our puddings at this point . The Guinness was frothy and took ten mins . Also when we went yo get our carvery we waited 10 mins to get served.

Friendly staff Lots of food options Food came quickly Good selection of beers

Food the beef wasn't fresh like it was left from the night before really dry. It was like an old school dinner no where as nice as before. I wanted the fish and chips but they didnt say what the fish was bit off putting. Staff seem friendly and nice. Atmosphere well it was really cold in there felt very flat.

Okay carvery, wasn't largest selection of vegetarian but was okay.

If I could leave a 0 star i would!! wasnt busy there were 3 cooks so I'm guessing a normal amount for a pub ... Waited an hour and half with 3 starving kids and had enough. No one came to explain what was going on. The waitress was lovely and lost haha bless her.

Very nice pub we had a carvery would definitely have it again 😀 👍

Absolutely loved the food, amazing service, Charlotte and Tyler so kind, having conversations whilst pouring our drinks, and to Alfie from the kitchen helping out with running our food and clearing our empty plates. Overall a lovely night out, will definitely be back. Thank you for such a lovely night.

Excellent service and lovely food. Hot Chocolate was really hot just how I like it. Had the breakfast today which was lovely. I asked if there was more black pudding and it was brought over to the table by Charlotte. Going again tomorrow for a carvery 👍

Great value carvery in warm friendly surroundings

Lovely friendly staff, very helpful with allergies and happy to help! Food and service was great

Absolutely amazing staff were very friendly food lovely all good

Great place. Food great plus beer great too. Staff are great.

I went there today looked at the carvery the beef was all dried up asked if any more beef was coming out the response was it was company policy Notton bring out any more until that one was all gone had a burger which was undercooked I will not return there

Lovely carvery just what was needed after a long drive

Worse experience here been a few times, won’t be returning, food just about edible no flavour we went for 2 carvery’s most of the food was either burnt or under cooked, staff seem to wonder around counting steps then helping ‘guests’ to there table including in what appears to be the manager at the time.

It was the worst visit I have had. The drinks took 25 minutes to come. I had to check on them. They were waiting on the side. I took them to the table. The plant based chicken took 25 minutes to make then it was completely dry and did not taste nice at all. The vegetables were all dry, and sparse. Worst roast dinner I’ve had at Haywain and I’ve been coming for over 10 years

Carvery is good, but £2.45 for shot of lime , in a lime and soda.RIP OFF!!!! Soda was confirmed as free,

So awful we got a refund and left. Staff clearly didn’t want to be there. Place was empty, carvery food had clearly been there for quite a while and they said they would bring fresh out after 15 mins so guessing that would all be reheated. When I told manager about the staff he said it was being addressed yet on another review the manager has put it’s been sorted. Chef dumped new pot of roast potatoes down yet they were burnt even more!! Not even homemade Yorkshire puddings. Stuffing was solid and mash was an awful colour and solid. Certainly won’t go back, such a shame as use to be great

Food was very bland and tasteless

Went for all you can eat breakfast as a treat from a friend

I had a great time here, the food was amazing & excellent value, the staff are really polite, friendly & helpful😀 well worth the travel as I came from Bournemouth

We love the haywain , we are very regular customers & booked for Christmas dinner last year ..as expected ,great service, lovely atmosphere & staff are all very professional & friendly ..

The service was amazing and very attentive. Atmosphere was good but the place could do with a better clean. Food was very inconsistent unfortunately as some meals were great and others were pretty awful such as the burgers.

I had the carvery, sorry to say the beef was very fatty and chewie, no parsnips and cauliflower cheese had no flavour. Told the waitress and she said she would tell the chef. Not somewhere we would return unfortunately 😕

Served by Dan today and had a lovely meal. Food was great and very welcoming

It was such a pleasant experience and the people serving and waiting on us were lovely and friendly Would definitely go again

Absolutely amazing carvery at haywain Cadnam can't fault it. Definitely come here again 👍

Menu is relatively limited but the food is excellent. Service is slow but that's likely due to staffing levels today being inadequate to meet demand.

The best pub in the area by far, and can’t be beaten for the price! Would absolutely recommend to anyone just to pop in for a drink or some of the remarkable food on offer. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!

I lunch here quite often. Most of the family have joined me on Boxing day over the last few years and we all enjoy the day.

Delicious carvery meal. Welcoming and helpful staff.

Just been to the Haywain for breakfast with Father Christmas. The food was excellent. It was value for money all freshly repaired nice tea and coffee toast although this is a buffet it was all done well place clean and spruced up since the last time I visited. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The only letdown this morning was the Father Christmas experience which had to be paid for on top of the breakfast. Father Christmas I presume was having an off day didn’t really engage with the kids. I can’t remember that even said good morning the value of the gift given was poor a chocolate bar a few crayons and some bits to colouring and a paper gingerbread house which you could make it sometime in the future I’m sure. Sadly most parents felt the same. Father Christmas was having an off day when you’ve got large part of people and Santa is making a fair bit of money didn’t even have a grotto sat on the chair by the fireplace raking it at £5 of pop ho ho ho

It's was very nice to see everyone happy the food was really good caravey pizza and kids pizza

The veg on the deck was lovely by D’marcus today, and the meat was nicely done.best specially gifted chef… chef Alfie was brilliant as well with his signature Yorkshire

Bruce is an amazing carver, well portioned meats… filled my belly.

We often eat here and today we took my 96 year old mum for her birthday. She fancied the beef but I noticed that it consisted of a skin like crust. I asked if they were putting out any fresh joint and was told that they had to use up what was there due to reducing food waste. So it goes without saying we declined. We also found that most of the vegetables were dry and the roast potatoes looked like they were days old. We were there for 6.00pm so not sure what the excuse would be. Also worth noticing was the prices have increased. Not the main complaint but enough to make us go somewhere else next time.

Staff and food was good can’t wait to return and the staff member Kian was amazing

We meet here about every 5 to 6 weeks for a breakfast club plenty of room and the breakfast is good all you can eat help yourself to tea and coffee looking forward to the next one in January

Superb value, food was really nice. Particularly wanted to say how friendly and welcoming the staff were particularly the bar person, she was superb.

Very busy restaurant. Good Sunday buffet, well priced.

Dirty. Dirty cutlery, plates, bar tops, toilets, I surprised that is not visited by Food Hygiene. Staff were poor, grubby, didn't give a toss really. Breakfast was just deep fried, tasteless, NEVER AGAIN. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere..

the roast is lovely,could be bit hotter did find one dirty fork think knife and forks should be wrapped up so people don’t touch them and please check to make sure there clean

Well priced, well cooked fresh food.

Very bad visit from start to end Not busy ,so no excuses

Very impressed with the carvery. Lovely meat and a great selection of vegetables.

Iv been coming here for years 😊 My daughter worked here last year , and the food and service was terrible. Today we come back and the service the staff and food has been its best its ever been , We loved the homemade sticky toffee pudding beautiful, Well done new team 😊👌🙌🙏👏

The food was nice, however a member of our parties main was forgotten about. Therefore we were unable to eat altogether. We had to ask when the food would be arriving. This then proceeded to happen again with desert.

Lovely food, great service. Very full and content now

I've been coming here for at least 15 years, if not more, and currently The Haywain is at its best! Still great value, brilliant food, and great service. I would highly recommend it, especiallythe carvery!

Atmosphere is always amazing and I don't know what is it with their music but they always play bangers. You get a lot for your money's worth. Food is great, selection is good and staff is fantastic. Overall a great choice for dinner out.

Nice and basic roast dinner, no airs or graces, good price and decent food

Dan was welcoming on entry to the pub. Welcomed in and showed to a table by him. He was very friendly and inforrmative.

Really good food and helpful staff

The food is ok Although limited choice for Meats at the carvery.. decor a little shabby..

Really nice carvery, great customer service.

Come here most weeks always good to eat at iv had Christmas dinner here the last 2 years and ill be having it here this yeah defo worth the visit reasonable prices and clean and grate staff

We came for breakfast which was yummy with waffles and mushrooms. Attentive staff. Followed by a lovely ice cream.

We picked a very quiet time for lunch 4pm, food was great and staff very helpful. Easy to find and park. Highly recommended.
