The Musketeer Pub in New Forest

The nicest people ever!! My car got a flat tire and I went into the pub to get wifi to find help. Everyone there was so sweet, friendly and helpful! If I lived here, I’d go there everyday! The owners were so kind and even the other patrons were very friendly! Will go for lunch or dinner.

Real spit and sawdust vibe. Feel like it's a missed opportunity to be a lovely venue with outdoor space.. but maybe they don't want to attract tourists. Food on Sunday only

Very good friendly pub got to know customer Alan and barman Bob hope you fix your van bobber very good definitely recommend this pub for a nice night out

Step back in time and enjoy a traditional old boozer where the locals and new owners are friendly and welcoming. No frills just a good old English pub .

Hi Leanne I find the musketeers the bar staff are friendly also customers which go there.,lovely atmosphere to the place.

Really nice original pub, Great for a home-made roast dinner, also does a fantastic breakfast from 9am until 11am. Dogs are also welcome in this pub, real ales served too, Highly recommend this pub for all the family.

Sorry to say, the take away roast lunch we ordered came freezing cold & very expensive. Advertising at £7.50 & we got charged £17 for 2. (One being a child’s portion) very disappointed. We have visited and dined in on a Sunday and it’s been lovely. Won’t be ordering take away again.

A classic pub for a good chat with friends - and great food on a Friday night. Highly recommended.

Went for a darts match had a good night. The lady lady made sandwiches for the darts team and oh my good, they were amazing with so much filling inside will be back again many thanks.

Lovely little local pub Friendly all staff are friendly and roast dinners are lovely to..beers excellent and cater for everyone

First time had a drink here,beer was great and made welcome by landlord and landlady and the other member of staff.

Friendly staff. Not busy or crowded. Unfortunately very limited lunch menu which was disappointing.

Best staff very good atmosphere! Good place to play darts also!

Popular, welcoming, cheerful. Parking tight.

Great place, just like a pub should be. Friendly, welcoming and great beer.

Horrible pub! Rude staff especially the governor! there are plenty of lovely pubs in lymington but The Musketeers i would highly avoid.

We had a fantastic night here, the lady in charge was so lovely and the her garden was the perfect place to sit in the shade with a very cold pint. Spot on!!

Horrible and disrespectful on Facebook when someone made an honest mistake about the pub reopening or not after lockdown

Great service and great people to chat with.

Beautiful garden, lovely landlord and landlady.

Our local. Lovely hosts Cliff, Cherry and the team make the Musketeer cosy and welcoming. Social distancing fully observed and reasonably priced good food served daily.

I wouldn't waste my time. Cold and very noisy with locals that can't drink anywhere else. Most are returning from lunchtime session.

Very cozy little local pub. Nice place to have a pint by the fireplace.

It's a nice pub, very friendly and cheap there to. Only is problem is some of the regular customers and one staff member is abit unpleasant, they fail to bar people of they have done something wrong.and staff tend to take sides with the person in question. So basically if someone does something wrong to you and you are a new customer the bar staff tend to pick sides with the person who actually done something wrong instead of your side. But on the other hand it only happens every now and then that something happens so. In other words it's a great pub but it is ruff round the edges and needs improvement in some places. Great services

After a brilliant 5 star review in 2019, what a difference a year makes with COVID-19. Now a one-way serving system has been installed and the benches at the front of the pub have been removed!! What are disabled people in wheelchairs supposed to do now!! They can't get in the pub and if they could, they have nowhere to put their drink! But someone's brilliance has helped, they've decided to put all the benches on a wooden plinth (i.e. "a beer garden") at the back of the pub. They've even made a wooden ramp to access this plinth but have forgotten one major detail in that the car park/beer garden surface is gravel. Unfortunately gravel and electric wheelchairs don't mix and the ramp is totally useless, making the plinth of benches unreachable. Seems we've got another COVID-19 own goal here. We did speak to some pub representative about the issue and she said they'd put some benches out in front of the pub like they had in previous years. But during our week's stay in Lymington, this never materialised. Well after this experience, we decided to walk further up the road and take our business elsewhere to the White Hart, whilst being more expensive were also more disabled friendly. In fact in Lymington there are more pubs which are dog friendly than disabled friendly, which for disabled people says it all.

Rude and aggressive owners, not family friendly at all. Locals pub and not at all welcoming. Lots of other lovely pubs in Lymington, I would avoid this one if I were you.

Full of proper pub character. Well priced and everyone was friendly. Drinks were great.

Lovely traditional pub, owners and staff extreamly friendly and welcoming. My partner was highly impressed with the decor! Kindly accommodated our camper van over night in their carpark. We met with friends who live locally great evening had by all. Many thanks Richard and Sara

Cheerful staff bit of a community small town pub.

Visited this pub twice during our holiday stay at Lymington and wished we'd frequented this hostelry more. My wife is disabled but we were able to enjoy a delightful drink outside on the benches. On both occasions the staff were very accomodating and helpful and the drinks were reasonably priced. I ordered a pint of Guinness and definitely got more than my pint's worth! On the last visit, we were returning home the next day and I paid for the drinks with all my remaining cash coins, which they readily accepted without any redress. If we holiday in Lymington again we will definitely have another visit to the Musketeer.

Great hosts Cliff and Cherry and team. Best pub roast I've had - I like my local and so does Mitzy

It's my almost local pub of choice

Good community pub. Great beer!

Great landlord typical old English pub.

They do a nice Sunday roast very yummy

Very traditional old school pub

The Musketeer is a pub I frequent regularly, usually after football matches, but it's been a long time since I had a meal there. The pub has changed hands a few times, and certainly when I last ate there it was under different management. The current management are relatively new, and when we (the group of friends who attend the pub after football), called in a short time ago, on the table were Christmas menus. They looked really good, and the price was very fair, so we asked if we could reserve a table for the Friday night, which coincided with the turning on of the local Christmas lights. Unfortunately the Xmas menu didn't start until the following day, but the landlord said that if we e mailed our menu requests in to him, he would prepare for us the Xmas dinner on the night before it officially commenced. This we did, and we were delighted that not only had he arranged the dinner, but had set it out in an adjoining private room. The three course meals were scrumptious. We ate heartily, and the food was wonderfully cooked, and there was an abundance. We all chose differently and each of us had a first class Xmas dinner. Even with drinks and wine, the total was very fair, and the service was wonderful. well done Musketeers, and thank you for a really first class evening.

Went here for Sunday lunch while staying with family. We had an excellent roast - no soggy vegetables! Staff were very pleasant and friendly.

A quick visit but the staff were very helpful and the food was very tasty.

Foods yummy, but not much chose though, it's a small pub so make sure you book a table or your be sent away. It's all clean and tidy including the toilets .

Cracking good night, good service and good drinks!

Visited the pub for lunch today and were shocked by the quality of the food for such a small pub and the price, the quality was fantastic, fresh veg and good portion sizes all at a good price

Ever hanging ales, good food , new landlord 😀

A lovely local pub serving Excellent home cooked food. They were family friendly not only from behind the bar but the locals too. Accommodating the kids with what they wanted from different bits of the menu. A breath of fresh air to be somewhere with real food and real people. Would recommend over and over and looking forward to going back.

We decided to book for Sunday lunch after finding out about this pub in a walking book. It was one of the tastiest roasts I’ve ever had - a great size and even better price :) The staff were very welcoming and attentive. A definitive recommend!

Lovely, cosy pub with friendly staff and customers. Excellent roast dinner and great value for money. Definitely one of the best pubs in the area.

Popped in here for a drink and found it was curry night. Had a lovely tikka masala with poppadoms and a drink for £6.00 . Staff very friendly would reccommend. Not forgetting Amber the friendly dog.

Great little local pub. Just what the locals need. Good food and at the right price. Definitely will return.

Very well run pub and good value food

A lovely pub offering a very warm welcome. Great landlord, hospitable friendly and chatty. We enjoyed our refreshments and pub lunch. Would recommend highly.

lovely people good beer and just a good old fashioned pub cant bet it for prince lovely outside setting

After a very blustery and wet Hockey match close by came in here hosted by the Ladies from New Forest. What a lovely find - real ales ( though I think 4 were out) so a Trick and Treat from Cottage Brewery was for me. Open fire provides atmosphere and when I peered at the Menu I was staggered - these are prices equivalent to Northern pubs. REMARKABLE value and probably outdoing all pubs in the South. It was just my pub and I just wish I could have that sort of local near me as there was a good cross section of folk there in the early afternoon. I had match refreshments ( snorkers, chips and sarnies) which were good and it is a pity I could not have sampled more,as it were. Well,overall, this is a good find. Interestingly an acquaintance had tipped me off that hospitality was good at this location. Obviously I cannot comment on the quality of cooking but the omens look good.

Good pub with great pub atmosphere. Friendly and accommodating staff. Live music frequently - sometimes just a jam session with a group of musicians - great entertainment!

Been going for years. Good range of beers and classic pub food. Sunday quiz. Folk night. Friendly regulars and great staff.

El Mosquetero es un pub estupendo. Es uno de los pocos "verdaderos" pubs de la zona. Es prioridad es mantener y sirve buena cerveza, y la verdad es que mejor que cualquier otro pub en el centro de la ciudad.

An excellent back street local with everything that a good pub should be. Great selection of REAL CIDERS and ales plus good simple food. I received a friendly reception from the Landlord, staff and locals. Fantastic.

Un gran grupo de muchachos en una despedida de soltero utilizada como el primer abrevadero para su noche. Una buena variedad de cerveza local, y ambiente agradable en el entorno. Mi hijo, cuya Stag evento fue, bebimos un patio de Ale, pagado por un local!...
