The New Forest Heritage Centre Café in New Forest

This was my first visit to The Salmon Leap although I have heard about it for years. I had thought because of the name that it was close to the river which it is not, so that was a bit disappointing! As others have said the value is very good, I had Rabbit and Bacon Pie which was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service with friendly, welcoming staff. Our group has been here before. Now under new management, it’s still fantastic. We enjoyed our roasts and Loaded nachos. The lasagne tasted great but was a little small. Overall, excellent and will go again.

Fabulous pub. Popped in for a spot of lunch, the most incredible roast beef sandwich ever! Perfectly cooked beef and plenty of it with salad and a delicious celeriac slaw (more please!). Friendly service and very reasonable price. Love the pub itself, so characterful, will definitely return.

Great food, reasonable prices, lovely friendly staff. We were a large party so we had pre ordered but I was still impressed that the all the food came out together, piping hot and very tasty. Some of us arrived early but the table was ready and we were welcomed to sit down and have a drink or coffee while we waited for our companions.

Great place, 2 open fires, rustic and simplicity at its best. It was my husbands bday today and they gave him a pint on the house! Ploughman’s were exceptional, homemade and fresh and lovely warm bread. We will definitely be back.
