Great, buzzing atmosphere, food and even live music. All unexpected during a short w/e visit to Lymington. A fab welcome, quick, friendly service and food freshly prepared.

We went to the Monkey House on the last night of our holiday in the New Forest. There was a lovely atmosphere and the fairy lights around the beams and the lit fire made it all feel very cosy. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service efficient throughout the evening. The food was excellent and the alcohol reasonably priced.

This is a nice pub located on the outskirts of Lymington. The main bar has limited seating, with a large table with bench and chairs as well as a high table and a low table in the main bar area and some bar stools, but plenty of space to stand. We enjoyed a Sunday evening with a solo singer in the main bar for entertainment, there is also a restaurant attached in a warm, friendly room with a nice open fire where people can sit and relax too on a large sofa.
