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.

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 .

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

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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

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!

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.

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.

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!...
