The New Forest Pantry in New Forest

Food was wonderful, service was amazing & I was incredibly impressed by the level of gluten free options at the afternoon tea. Will definitely be returning. Photos of my gluten free which was shared between two of us.

Cosy little cafe. The staff were friendly and we were served quickly. The dark hot chocolate was lovely and the pot of loose leaf tea was very generous. We both had bagels which were very tasty. Looks quite small but there is more seating upstairs.

Stopped off in Ringwood for lunch on the way to Dorset. Needed a dog friendly cafe, and the New Forest Pantry was ideal. Lovely food, great service and fantastic coffee. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The Brie, Bacon and Cranberry on sourdough highly recommended.

Lovely cafe and friendly staff. I love the decor. The food was excellent, freshly made. The lemon and ginger tea was delicious. I would have scored a 5 but the hot cooked food wasn't available. It closes at 3pm on a Sunday but they'd switched off cooking facilities at 2pm, which was disappointing.

Best bacon and brie toasted sandwich I've ever had, nice thin bacon but not dry and crispy. Perfect.

Very friendly staff, food prepared with care and a lovely little courtyard at the back with seating in sun or shade. The music is played at a volume where you can still hear yourself think and hold a conversation. Plus it’s dog friendly. Well done to the team here.

Annabel and her team are so friendly. The Pantry is a lovely place to meet friends and enjoy great coffee and food. They have an upstairs eating area and a hidden seating area outside.

This is a cute little cafe with very friendly staff. We visited about 2pm on a very hot day and were the only customers. We had a salad, avocado on toast, a smoothie, an iced latte and a chocolate cake, all of which was nice but nothing special. It came to over £30 which we felt was very high. We did think the prices were expensive on the menu. Overall our food was good, but I don’t think it is value for money. Additionally, there are no vegan options labelled on the menu despite there being a few options hidden in the menu so it would be good to have these labelled to avoid having to ask. Plant milks are available but I didn’t see any mention of it on the menu or on the board, but staff were very helpful letting you know what was available. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Would have liked to tip but couldn’t justify it along with the steep price point of this place. Perhaps this is the norm for the new forest.

Our food was delicious, freshly cooked and attentive service. Seating was a bit limited inside so we tried the garden at the back. It could be nice but when we visited it was very drab, run down with dead tree branches and weeds. A real shame. Despite this we will return.

It's a nice building, it's an Auction not a restaurant......

Bacon Streay and deep fried, no choice of how you could have your egg cooked - scrambled only and microwaved. Nowhere near good enough quality for the £13.00 charged tea and coffee not included and an additional charge for milk if you had coffee but not if you had tea. Very underwhelming

Lovely sun trap of a garden and tasty brunch. Recommended for relaxed atmosphere.

Was walking past and fancied lunch. So glad I popped in. I had the toasted Brie, bacon and cranberry sandwich - probably the best one I’ve ever had! Service was excellent and really friendly. They were very welcoming to my dog as well with treats and a fresh water bowl.. there’s a small courtyard out the back and comfortable seating inside. Will definitely return!

Nice looking cafe, food wasn't too bad but i have had better for the price (breakfast £12) also got our drinks order wrong bit i'm not fussy so i had the drink anyway.

Great place for afternoon tea with good range of gluten free options, the coffee and walnut cake was a real treat and welcome sugar hit

Lovely little cafe full of atmosphere. Came for Mother's day and it was brilliant. Staff were lovely and the food was tasty and reasonably priced

It was good, the coffee and cake was good. The cafe was very cosy and clean.

Lovely staff and great toast with loads or butter

Always enjoyed food from here. Would recommend

A favourite coffee shop of ours in Ringwood. Good food Good choice. Nice people

Absolutely beautiful food amazing service the food was very delicious and warm welcome highly recommend

Fantastic As always the food was outstandingly delicious. Really good professional staff Love the ambiance. Cozy and warm, just what you want when you are relaxing.

Just been for a special Afternoon Tea for my wife’s birthday. It was splendid and I thoroughly recommend anyone going there. Great selection of sandwiches, cakes and tea. Also given boxes to take home anything left.

Excellent food and cake, lovely meeting point with a friend before a new forest walk

Very busy but our orders as there were six of us came quickly.Bacon overcooked for my liking but everyone else approved.Would go again.

Really Great place for a food, coffee, drinks stop with a fabulous relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended

Huge ploughman's lunch- fresh and delicious, and the chocolate orange Halloween cake is to die for! 🕷️🖤🦹‍♀️🪦😁

Superb food, friendly staff backed up by a transcendent coffee. Can be a bit busy over lunch, but it's always worth the wait for your food.

Lovely small cafe in Ringwood with a nice atmosphere. We visited here one Wednesday lunch time and we had a lovely bacon brie toasted sandwich. The best we've had for a long time. Very enjoyable lunch and will definitely return.

I have visited here a few times and I am happy to keep returning. The staff are very very friendly and helpful. The food here is lovely, the tea here is huge in a pot which I love being a tea drinker.

The staff are so welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The cafe is small but perfectly formed with a very relaxing atmosphere.

Fantastic like cafe. We ate in the courtyard outside which was wonderful in the sunshine. We had full breakfast and veggie breakfast £11 each. Sun shining, mellow music playing, it was lovely. Would go again.

Was so lovely. Such cute interior and it’s very friendly and welcoming. Despite getting one of the drinks wrong at the beginning they sorted it and swapped it free of charge. The staff were so caring and the facilities were clean and tidy. The toilet was clean too.

Best ploughman's with friendly service. Plenty of seating in, out and upstairs. Looks small but extends inside with comfortable seating. Good value for excellent food.

A small but friendly cafe, great food and nice tea.

New Forest Pantry is a hidden gem that excels in offering delightful coffee and delicious food. With a diverse menu catering to all tastes, their fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavours, and impeccable presentation create a memorable dining experience. The inviting ambiance, friendly staff, and skilled baristas add an extra touch of charm to this cozy establishment. Whether you're seeking a perfect cup of coffee or a satisfying meal, New Forest Pantry is a must-visit destination for coffee and food enthusiasts.

Great cafe with a good range of food, beef bagel was excellent with a side of perfectly cooked bacon.

I had a toasted teacake and coffee. Both excellent. Included in the New Forest card discount scheme.

We ate breakfast in here last week, It was delicious and above our expectations. The food is priced well, the menu is good considering the size of the cafe and the service we received from Charlotte was on point and cheerful. It's a quirky little cafe and we'll worth a visit.

Booked here well in advance for an afternoon tea for 6, must say I wasn’t overly impressed, seated on separate tables which really defeats the point of going out as a group, no jam and cream provided with scones and cakes seemed quite old and therefore very dry with the scones just breaking up into small pieces, there was also very little variety of cake, good to note some people don’t like spiced/fruit cake. On a plus sandwiches and drinks were lovely. Overall bit of a shame after reading such glowing reviews and seeing pics of afternoon tea looking really well presented.

Loved it, fantastic little tea room, wonderful food and dog friendly, would definitely go back 🐶

Without doubt my favourite cafe is The New Forest Pantry. Tom and the staff are always very welcoming and friendly whenever we go there. Great ambiance, great menu and excellent choice of drinks. Please give this quaint, quirky family owned business a try and you won't regret it.

I went out for lunch with my friend yesterday and we thought we’d try The Pantry as we hadn’t been before, and we checked reviews and it was all good things. As we arrived we sat down and I ordered 2 avocado on toast with scrambled eggs, costing me £15 which I thought was reasonable. Our meal arrived 20 minutes later and we were very disappointed to find that the avocado was not ripe at all, it was rock solid, it was so hard that even cutting it up with a butter knife was difficult. The toast was soaked with butter so my scrambled egg and avocado were swimming in butter and grease. The scrambled egg was hot and it would’ve tasted nice if it hadn’t also been drowned in butter. We were really disappointed as I know it’s always a risk trying a new place, but we had high hopes and we expected better. We ate what we could, but left most of it and left feeling quite sick.

Welcomed by smiling staff who were very accommodating The tea room was charming with quirky furniture The food was delicious, lots of yummy sandwiches and cakes and pots of tea Highly recommend a visit 😊

I really don’t want to write this review but I think the feedback is necessary and I really hope it’s taken on board….. I used to come here often and the food was fantastic, great sandwiches/jacket potato’s with a side salad, coleslaw and Crisps however I came on Good Friday and ordered a Brie bacon and cranberry toastie and salmon and cucumber sandwich for £6.50 or £7 per sandwich (can’t remember exactly but it wasn’t cheap) which were handed to us as shown in the picture (half of mine has been eaten by me already, it was 2 halves just took the pic half way through!) no nice antique plates like before, no side salad, coleslaw or crisps, £7 for literally a sandwich which would have cost pennies to make. It’s such a shame as this is a lovely cafe but I should have gone to Tesco for a meal deal! I know Good Friday is a bank holiday but when it was just ourselves and 1 other couple in there I would have expected more, I don’t know if the lack of detail/sides to the sandwich were because of it being a bank holiday or if the cost of living has really hit but no one stated it would be a reduced meal. I wouldn’t rush back as unfortunately the food has really gone down hill but please go back to presenting sandwiches with sides if you are going to charge what you do!

Have only ever stopped by for a cuppa, although the food does look good and is cooked to order. Its a tiny cafe but great atmosphere and clean. Staff really friendly, nothing is to much trouble.

Visited on a Wednesday afternoon so it was a little quiet. The food and service were exceptional! We had afternoon tea, very generous servings and fabulous cakes. Would definitely come again.

Lovely place to stop forctwa and coffee. Friendly staff. Also dog friendly.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! Fantastic food and service here each and every time I’ve visited. The staff are always so friendly and the food is fab! I can highly recommend this quaint cafe.

Lovely spot for coffee / lunch in Ringwood. Sweet little reading nook under the staircase with a selection of kids books.

We were staying in the area for the weekend and so I pre-booked for 8 of us for breakfast and they kindly set aside the upstairs area for us. Nothing was too much trouble, they even accommodated our puppy! They served us a delicious breakfast - all 8 plates brought up within minutes of each other and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food! The staff were really lovely and friendly and the cafe was a lovely place to start our holiday! Wish we lived closer so that we could come for breakfast all the time!

Excellent breakfast, very well priced for the area, pleasant ambience.

Staff were very lovely and we felt very welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, would highly recommend it!

Lovely little place in Ringwood, tucked away. You could likely walk passed it without noticing, but you should keep an eye out! I’ve been twice, and both visits have been brilliant. Nice easy going feeling, so you can relax as you enjoy your food and drinks. They serve a variety of food and drinks. But their hot chocolate is delicious.

Lovely little cafe, cosy and friendly. Good food and nice cakes. Tom the waiter was really kind and helpful! Thank you for a great lunch and we’ll be back soon!

Oh my gosh this place is amazing ! I can’t believe something this chic and cute is in the new forest! The staff are so lovely and the interior is so cosy and aesthetically pleasing. Every little bit of potential comfort has been thought out. All the furniture has been really well thought through.

Tried this cafe on a wet Saturday afternoon and wanted brunch Had a lovely BLT sandwich which was very tasty and well presented My husband had a tuna jacket potato and reported it was tasty

Simply the best Best food Professional staff Great ambiance Good prices Such a wonderful place to meet friends in a comfortable and relaxing place

Lovely friendly staff and a warm welcome. Coffee and treats are great, and the Garden area is lovely too

Excellent service, delicious ploughman’s lunch- the best around! Many cheeses, pickles, ham, garnish, great value for money

Nice cafe with friendly staff but not good for anyone with ailments or bad back. We tried a few tables but chairs unsupportive, low and old. Quite uncomfortable for us sadly.

Visited here last week and had a great breakfast. Very friendly welcome from all staff and great value for money, when next in Ringwood this would be my go to place.

Lovely, cosy cafe. Delicious food and a nice little toddler reading area for the little ones

We went into this lovely cafe for the first time with our Red Fox Labrador on Monday this week, well how welcoming it was, friendly, kind staff, amazing food at reasonable prices. While we were there a lady came in with her husband who was disabled and the staff were so accommodating and helpful, it was a real pleasure to watch and we will be regular visitors from now on. Thank you so much for making our time so enjoyable. Luther enjoyed his treats!

Dog friendly, popped in for a morning cuppa and tea cake. Lovely little cafe on the high st. Quite a cares menu Good choice. Being run by two you ladies went were friendly and prone service. Also do like a bone China cup and saucer....

We came here on Wednesday after walking past a few times when visiting ringwood. That morning I had read the last review which wasn’t the best but thought we would give it a try anyway. How glad we did. I went with my mum and...

Great for a tasty non greasy breakfast & a coffee.

Great place fir coffee something to eat and general place to relax food very good aswell will defo be back

We visited with our 2 young children. we ordered a chicken baguette; pancake bacon and maple syrup; avocado, scramble egg with chilli on sourdough; avocado and sundried tom on sourdough. It was all awful... chicken baguette was a long life soft baguette - not fresh...

I went to the new forest pantry twice staff very helpful and polite. Great food. Plenty of choice too. Also dog friendly reasonably priced too. Loved the decor. Will definately be coming back. Great service. Thankyou everyone. Rosemary Venning

Popped in at the last hour of service on a Sunday and they were quiet enough to accommodate me and my friend with our two dogs. They were the one of very few places open on the high street it seemed for 3pm on a Sunday so that was lucky. Very cute, intimate setting. Service was great, they brought up some water and treats for the dogs which was really sweet. Drinks were great. The carrot cake was dry and the white choc and new forest muffin was inedible, I don't know what was wrong with it exactly but I couldn't eat it. Maybe the fruit was bad inside, I'm not sure. Would go again though and maybe just have warm food instead, the menu looked lovely as did lots of the other cakes. I think we just ordered poorly for that day. We had two cakes, a pot of tea and a fruit smoothie that came to a total of just over £11.

Had a lovely lunch with my family and dogs. Staff very welcoming. Food fantastic thoroughly enjoyable. Well presented. Went twice this week. Beautiful place lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended. Will be back again soon. Thankyou so much. Rosemary Venning

This was a wonderful little find. I loved all the little quirky branches with flowers or birds. Some quirky seats and a toddle den under the staircase with its own table, chairs and lamp. The staff were fantastic, extremely helpful and chatty. The food was wonderful and really reasonable. Next time I'm in the area I be popping back in.

Really lovely little cafe, the food was really nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful

One of my favourite places for a light lunch in the town centre. Attentive, cheerful, friendly staff. We also love Scrambled egg on toast with Bacon & Avocado for brunch. Enjoy sitting upstairs away from distractions. A pleasant experience!

As a traveler family we loved this lovely cafe, small details, flowers and everywhere and smiling happy stuff. I felt like princess here 💜if i were local I would come here every other day 🦋

Really lovely dog friendly cafe

Lovely place to chill out and have something to eat and drink.

Lovely little cafe, friendly welcome, nice cosy outdoor area, the best salt beef bagel and hummus platter. What's not to love ❤

Arrived in Ringwood early on a Monday morning after driving from Devon. Very pleasant staff/owner and breakfast. Thank you would come again

We were in Ringwood yesterday and just by chance we happened to notice their board displaying a bacon or sausage sarnie and drink deal (a very good deal too, I would add). On entering the cafe we were met at the counter with extremely helpful...

Great food, freshly cooked. Friendly staff creating lovely atmosphere and nothing too much trouble. Will definitely be visiting again.

😏.......coffee arrived but Sandwich took nearly 25mins and was disappointing when it did finally arrive (we had finished our drinks🤔 ) need to let customers know if they are busy or behind on service ... asked for refund on food which we left.Shame because very nice inside was looking forward to the experience .....

Lovely little gem, courtyard to rear is a sun trap on a fair day. Food, service and hospitality great, well done.

they have best latte coffe in ringwood 😍😍

Cute little cafe which is dog friendly which is a bonus for us. Small outside space but plenty of seating inside. Food was delicious!

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful cafe! Super polite friendly staff. Great food good value.. Dog friendly

Perfect every time! Hidden Jem in Ringwood. 5th visit to the New Forest Pantry, we sat outside in the beautiful and tranquil courtyard and ordered the Veggie breakfast and added sausage and bacon to out meals The Chai Latte is the best I have ever tasted and the juices are fresh. I Cannot fault this place at all, the customer service is excellent all staff are very friendly and welcoming. We will be back this is our favourite place to eat breakfast/brunch. The seating inside is very nice and cosy, I love all the little details with the decor. Absolutely LOVE this place, we will be back soon!

Afternoon tea here is wonderful! So much food!! Choice of sandwiches and lots of cake. Child friendly. Lovely little courtyard area. Friendly, helpful staff in homely, welcoming surroundings. Well worth visiting.

Absolutely wonderful Great food and a Dirty Chai made probably Awesome

I visited a couple of weeks ago and had a feta dish, this was superb. So simple yet so tasty. The Earl Grey was also very good. Suffice to say that I will be returning.

Visited the Pantry this morning, had a great veggie breakfast, wide selection of fresh coffee & tea, fantastic staff. Lovely little garden area, very quirky decor, family run business. This is a must visit when in Ringwood

As always you want perfection Well this is it. Not to pricey, really good food, lovely professional staff. Stu the boss is outstanding and goes the extra mile, as do the lovely staff. Just tried the new filter coffee, went for the Ethiopian and it...

Stopped in for breakfast which was brilliant, staff are friendly, and nice quirky decor.

This little cafe is a hidden gem. Great menu, lovely staff and its pet friendly. We have been here a couple of times and we are always made to feel very welcome.

What a fantastic little place very friendly and food is just lovely I can say it’s my favourite food place I have visited

Lovely little coffee shop. Cozy and quirky atmosphere. The staff were very polite and helpful. The place was clean and service was pretty quick considering the had quite a few orders to make. Coffee was decent (cafetiere of the Columbian coffee) and the sandwich I had was lovely (Bacon with brie and cranberry on sourdough) The only let down was it felt a little pricey compared to similar places I've been to in the past. But I think it's worth a trip at least once.

Beautiful food and lovely staff, cater for every need including gluten free, well worth a visit
