The Monkey House in New Forest

We really enjoyed our meal. The fish in particular was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Good local beer as well. There was also good live music.

The Monkey Brewhouse is a fantastic Inn and brewery serving a selection of there own brewed Real Ales. Along with an excellent range menu including daily specials. The staff are very warm and friendly. They also do accomodation.

1 roast and 1 "fish of the day with chunky chips and peas" Yuck. Chips were overwhelmed with the taste of fried oil. Fish was nice but nothing special, chips were over cooked and the peas....yuck. Won't ever order that again. Hubby said the roast pork was a 6/10 Shame really, it's a nice pub and the food is hit and miss

Great pub ...food and service were excellent. and they brew their own beer...which was brilliant..good selection. We were there on a friday and they had music which was really good.

Our first visit to Monkey Brewhouse and it certainly will not be our last, we were greeted by Sam with a welcoming smile and served by Joshua who was knowledgeable and friendly as well as informative of the unique premises and the menu. Food was enjoyable and portions were more than adequate. The Monkey Brewhouse oozes atmosphere and it was a delight to have experienced it there.

Arrived with daughter and 2 dogs first lunch. They could not have been more welcoming. The food was excellent and the staff charming.

Good selection of ale's with ease of parking

Great beer, great food and great staff.

A lovely fire was welcoming on a chilly day. We enjoyed good beers and delicious food, and will definitely be returning for more.

Great throughout the visit. From the moment we arrived ,we were well looked after. Lovely helpful staff, very tasty food and nice atmosphere. Thank you to the staff for making this evening so special.

This is a flippin' great pub with rooms. Our room was clean and comfy enough but you're there for the beer and the food which is excellent. Never before been along the whole tap range and liked every one of them. Brewed on the premises it doesn't get better than this. And the food follows suit with dishes created from scratch by their own chefs and served up by the happiest, smiliest bunch of staff ever. Plus live music twice a week. You can have a real good time and then just climb up the stairs to get your head down. Brill

Always pour a nice pint. Food always great….staff always friendly… transfriendly (made that bit up)….could be…..

Fantastic experience! Last minute telephone booking for lunch with family - with a very, cheery Josh. When we were arrived we were welcomed by the same helpful Josh. In a world where we’re all swift to complain, I believe in praise where it’s due. It’s not often I go out for a meal and feel it was worth it .. but Monkey Brewhouse surpassed all hopes and expectations. Excellent, faultless food and service. I hope Josh is recognised by the business for his fabulous customer service.

Excellent meal with friends here. Really good service from friendly staff and everyone was very happy with their meal.

We stopped here for lunch with friends. The food was delicious, king prawn, mussels and crab risotto, pie and burger. Staff were very attentive and they could not do enough for you. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you

Amazing selection of beers brewed on site in their micro brewery! Our favourite is Howler :) The food is fantastic too. Really good, proper pub grub. The last time I went, I had their fish and chips, which was superb.

Great pub great beer, great food

Great atmosphere, fabulous food (fish of the day and massaman curry) and decent beer (forest lager). Will definitely be returning next time we’re down this way.

We came here for a late lunch on New Year's Day. Food was delicious. Staff were great. Drinks good too.

Well prepared food and good service as always

Outstanding roast lunch in a super buzzy environment. Terrific service from all of the team, Sean was brilliant. Our last meal out in 2023 and one of the best, it’s a great place and the brewery delivers some fabulous beers too!! A must visit. Thanks for a memorable NYE!

My husband and I have just returned home after a delicious Sunday Roast . The beef was tender and tasty , the vegetable medley cooked to perfection and the cauliflower cheese side dish was superb , very cheesy ( the best that either of us have tasted ) All of the girls waiting on table were very cheerful and friendly and happy to cater for my request for a children’s portion of the roast . I am recovering from illness and have only a bird’s appetite . I have asked for a child’s portion in other establishments and been made to feel very awkward - but not here . The whole experience was very enjoyable and we will definitely be returning

Local pub, brilliant , Samantha leaves people in hysterics. Absolute gem

Great beer, great service, great atmosphere 👍

It’s Sunday and it’s raining, time for the best roast in Lymington at the monkey. Still the best taste and quality in Lymington and now the bonus of Christmas decorations by Ruth !! you can’t buy atmosphere but all the staff create it .

Attended the monthly quiz. Good fun, good company and a lovely curry.

Food was good but they need more waiters

Thank you very much for the great service and meal we had to celebrate a friends 60th. It was 42 years on from when we all first met there so a little bit of history going on. Everybody enjoyed the food, service was swift and the staff were happy. We couldn’t fault the evening so big thank you.

We visited the pub-restaurant on the recommendation of a Lymington resident. The locally brewed beer was excellent, as were the dishes that we selected from the comprehensive menu.

Lovely pub to stay very clean well kept room bathroom and shower great live music was very enjoyable and the breakfast was absolutely amazing the staff are fantastic will definitely be staying again

Stopped in here for lunch. Great choice of beer and food, very tasty. Really good portion size for lunch, had to go walk it off! Lovely roaring fire to warm us up. Would recommend

Fab lunch at the Monkeyhouse today. Best ever Fish Risotto, delicious Wild Bass and three outstanding deserts. Food intolerances dealt with easily. Friendly staff. Wonderful selection of gin, by all accounts!

I can not fault this amazing restaurant. The food is sublime, the portions are so generous and the presentation is amazing. Always an amazing choice of starters serving an amazing choice of fish dishes. The staff are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend a...

This was a great find. I loved the beer - recommend the Monkey Treetops if you like something fresh, fruity and strong. Food and service was great.

Had the sea food risotto, which was a lot more filling than the first time I had it.. lots of prawns and some mussels, delicious 😋

Had a fabulous meal here... a West Country Burger that was out of this world delicious. Very friendly and efficient staff. Plenty of parking. And they let me charge my phone! Would definitely recommend and hope to return for the very same burger on my next visit to Lymington. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thankyou, we came today for my birthday family meal 😊 We all had a great meal, yummy food and great staff serving us too, will definitely come back x

Being our local, we took visiting friends here for dinner. There was live music, so it was a bit difficult to talk. We shared Olives, Pork Crackling and Whitebait to start. To follow two of us chose the special of whole Brill which was delicious...

Amazing food. The best Katsu Curry we have ever had. Highly recommend. The Fish and chips was also very tasty and lovely staff and atmosphere too!

Good, excellently cooked food and friendly, prompt service. Not too many tables (although dining is possible in the garden) or parking spaces. The pork belly on chorizo cassoulet was memorable.

The nicest Sunday lunch we've had in a long time. The service was excellent, we came with our young daughter and without asking the staff got her food out with our starters, tap water brought to the table again without asking. The food was delicious,...

Food was delicious, couldn’t fault any of the dishes we ordered. Staff were so friendly, definitely worth a visit.

Lovely fine just outside Lymington. After scouring trip advisor settles on Monkey Brewhouse for supper. Live music was and added extra which was great. Food was delicious and wonderful hospitable staff. Well worth a visit.

Very interesting concept. Niche Brewery on site making their own beers. We had a meal which was superb. Service was really good. Highly recommended.

Roaring fire, dog friendly. Great home beers brewed on site and lovely staff. What's there not to like. Next time we will try the food.

First time here. Nice vibe, staff were excellent. Good menu with some nice specials. Pork loin special was a highlight, portions were very good too. Really decent in house brewed beer selection too. Will definitely visit again.

We booked the Monkey Brewhouse for my husband's 50th birthday party and I am so glad we chose them. I originally booked it because they were so efficient at replying to my emails, in comparision with other venues! This turned out to be a sign...

We arrived wet and cold with three dogs after a forest walk with friends. The brewhouse was so cosy by the gorgeous open fire and their drinks delicious. We sat opposite the brewing and it is great to see their drinks being brewed on site....

Stunning food. The vegetables were cooked to perfection and my wife lived her fish. Very friendly and attentive staff. It was busy but they squeezed us in

Booked a last minute night at the brewhouse before sailing across to the island. Our room was compact and cosy, really comfortable and the bathroom was modern. All the team members we encountered in the evening were friendly and accommodating, seating us for dinner in...

Not the best roast I've had by any means. Disappointed, food was not very hot and quite bland . Appreciate the beef was probable a rib, however, approx 60% was fat, and inedible. We remarked on this when, at the end of the meal, we...

Great staff, friendly and speedy service. The food was 5*, and had food envy looking at other dishes going to nearby tables. Compliments to the chefs! Great location and overall - just perfect !

We have visited this restaurant 3 times and on all 3 occasions have had a fabulous experience. Service friendly and efficient, food delicious Have had the pork belly, rump steak, whole baked camenbert and also enjoyed the Pannage Porter.

What a fabulous pub , the beers are amazing ,great wine ,awesome food ! Very attentive staff an absolute must ! Rooms are lovely to a great two day break x

Food excellent, had sea bass as a special and it is one of the best I have ever had. Staff friendly and interested in giving great service. Although I live in Bournemouth, so not local, I am coming back again to try one of the...

Absolutely lovely place to stay. Their beers are superb. The staff are really lovely and helpful . Breakfast was really lovely

Love Monkey Brewhouse especially as its our local! Had a lovely meal here with our neighbours, all seven of us enjoyed our food and Sam really spoilt us.

Very warm welcome from staff. Nice varied menu, the venison burger was good and also the beef burger, chips nice and hot too. Service was quick and friendly. Dogs were welcome, and nice outside space. Parking is tight.

Popped in for lunch and to try their beer. It was worth the 25 minute walk from the centre of town. Food was good and enjoyed the Bitter made on the premises.

Just come back from the monkeybrewhouse from start to finish can not fault anything we felt so welcome by all the staff .Will , Bob, Nathan ,Sam .Breakfast and dinner was amazing really well presented. Our room was spacious and very clean .Amazing shower ....

A mixed bag. Excellent pie with mash. The fish and chips enjoyable and plentiful. . Moules moist and a solid meal. The real downer was the hake special which was minuscule (albeit well prepared and presented) and the custard tart which was again tiny -...

Sunday roast, never again. The beef was curling up at the edges,very chewy, and pretty tasteless, the vegetables were over cooked badly, just thrown in one heap in one bowl, tasteless mangetout, green beans, carrots, peas very poor presentation, and as for the anaemic looking...

6 of us had early evening meal. Good friendly service. Lovely food. Fish and vegetarian choices. Attractive atmospheric building. Very enjoyable.

Great food. Fantastic self-brewed beer. Lovey atmosphere. Service was brilliant and attentive.Started with the baked Camembert to share, which was soooo good. Then had the steak and ale pie with mash and veg. This was one of the best pies I’ve eaten. The pastry was perfect. The filling was more akin to a Cornish pasty. The flavours were wonderful. Washed down with a couple of their own ales. No room left for a pudding sadly. Would definitely go again.

More than expected Our expectations for the food and beverages at this hostel exceeded even our high standards to an extent where we tried to get a table for the following evening but regrettably couldn’t Quality and variety of the food was far greater than you would expect and the beer of equal standardone of the most pleasant places to visit in the town and a must for all visitors

Booked by phone at short notice and we were fitted in despite website booking system stating no slots available.From the first phone call, staff were fantastic and the food matched it making a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.They make their own beer on the premises which is outstanding, even got the wife hooked.Mushroom arancini, kerala curry and the venison burger were all flavoursome and well presented. Filled us up so couldn’t manage desserts.Final word must go to the staff.Seldom have I seen a team work so well together, service was faultless.

Stayed here for 2 nights visiting Lymington and the Sammy Miller motorbike museum.We stayed a couple of years ago and wanted to see the new brewery and taste the beers. 6 home brewed beers with a range of styles. We had a warm welcome on arrival from Meghan although every single one of the staff we dealt with was most friendly and helpful. Room clean and everything worked.The food is very good and homemade. Menu has just changed, with a homemade steak and ale pie for the winter which was very tasty. Despite being midweek the pub was busy so advance booking for food is recommended.Would stay here again if in the area.
