The New Forest Pantry in New Forest

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

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! 🕷️🖤🦹‍♀️🪦😁

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.

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.

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

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 🐶

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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 🦋

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

Really lovely dog friendly cafe

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

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

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.

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

Cosy, friendly and good coffee and food.

extremely nice and really affordable. best ploughmans and really nice people.

Very friendly, always clean and well presented, quirky seating

Firstly, I want to say, in terms of decor, cleanliness and staff, this place is fantastic. The decor is quite original and quirky, and we found it to be very inviting. Also, very clean which is always nice to see. The highlight however for us were the staff. They couldn't do enough to help. Very friendly and extremely helpful. An absolute credit to the business. I will also say the coffee is amazing! Sadly, what loses this place it's two stars off being a perfect review is the food. Having seen the lack of cooking facilities we saw, it isn't surprising, so I guess that it shouldn't come as a surprise. We ordered 3 all day breakfasts. Unfortunately it was devoid of any real taste and having the bread covered in what appeared to be margarine was a real let down. The sausages were quite small, and didn't have that normal meaty taste that you'd expect from a unique cafe such as this. The bacon appeared to just be thin strips of bacon flavoured crisps. No option for anything other than scrambled egg (I appreciate that is due to the lack of facilities and I was aware of this when ordering). I appreciate that everyone is different and I'm sure there will be Ringwood locals that may vehemently disagree with me on this, but it just felt like a real shame, and the meals left us completely underwhelmed. We didn't see any point in complaining, as there was nothing wrong with the food. We received exactly what we'd asked for and it was hot. Because of everything else being fantastic, we felt that it wasn't appropriate, as the issues weren't anything to do with what was done on the day. Perhaps something for the owners to consider, given the amount of healthy competition that you have in Ringwood High St? In summary, I would not hesitate to come back for a coffee and would gladly spend my money there, however I would in no way recommend the food and wouldn't eat there again. Give the food quality some attention however, then I'd be in no doubt that this place would the best place to come to for coffee and breakfast in Ringwood!

I had the salt beef sandwich and I can honestly say I couldn't believe the flavours! Quality was amazing and the staff were really friendly! Five fill stars from me!!

Lovely place. Dog friendly and make you feel thoroughly welcome. They even popped upstairs after bringing our food and drinks to offer our dog a treat. If you're in the area and after delicious drinks and tasty food, stop here.

Nice tea and cake. The music was a tad loud for our liking.

Ordered a full English breakfast and a sausage sandwich to takeaway, lovely food, cooked perfectly. Fast, friendly service. Much preferred to other local places who offer takeaway breakfast. Everything about this place has clearly been well thought out, the layout, the atmosphere inside, the way the takeaway food was packaged, the menu, everything. I would upload a photo but the food was so nice that I may or may not have scoffed it before I had the chance!

Fabulous food, fresh well prepared and presented. Best ploughman's ever!

We visited this cafe on Saturday whilst waiting for an appointment and it was such a find! We stopped in for cake and coffee and were greeted as we came in and told we could sit anywhere, how to order and what was available. The Dorset Apple Cake and one-of-a-kind Mince Pie Bake were incredible!! Will definitely come back whenever we are in the area, great service and produce.

Amazing place with the best chocolate fudge cake!

Lovely place, nice uncomplicated menu, delicious food, nicely presented

Only had a drink but the staff were lovely and the (not dirty) chai latte was lovely!!

Lovely independently run establishment. Large selection of drinks and lunches. All the lunches are freshly hand made on order. Great atmosphere within a wonderfully decorated cafe.

Awesome place great atmosphere the food was perfect for me I will definitely be enjoying another visit very soon

First impressions are everything! My wife and I, like many, enjoy a mid-morning coffee, now and again. We live in Ringwood and tend to use a 'select few' coffee houses. Today we tried somewhere new and very much enjoyed the experience. The team at The New Forest Pantry were friendly, they made us feel very welcome and their coffees and cakes were delicious. I'm pretty sure we will be heading back there sometime soon. Keep up the good work!

Amazin place to eat & drink😘fabulous owners💙💚😘

Our entire family (5 adults 5 kids & 2 dogs) meet there for breakfast and its been amazing both times we have been there, they have been more than accommodating for our needs. Food is always amazing, and the staff are fantastic. Well worth a visit.

Proper locally sourced foods, crooked well.A star!

Best ploughman's lunch I've ever had! I'd give it 6 stars.

What a superb find! Only been to Ringwood once before and looked for dog friendly establishments before we arrived. This cafe is fabulous. We arrived with a large dog who lay down and didn’t want to move and all the staff were so lovely. They stepped over him with smiles every time. Food was excellent - large portions and local produce. Music in background was just right. Nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely be back. A real gem.

an amazing small restaurant in ringwood, staff certainly cater for your needs, I am gluten free , excellent choice and adjustments made, very friendly staff, quick, service and we were a table of 7, I would certainly visit againTrish Houston ( was vigus)

We googled restaurants in ringwood, this had very good reviews. It’s a charming place, dog friendly, family friendly, polite and friendly staff. Outdoor seating. We ordered the full English. How very bland and uninviting food. It was pretty awful food… it all tasted like basic range of foods from a local supermarket. It took ages to arrive as did the coffees. There was nothing tasty or pleasurable about this plate of food. The toast was buried under the bacon & beans so was a complete soggy mess… horrible brown bread! I obviously can’t speak for anything else on the menus but I would not recommend the full breakfast. The cakes looked very nice and its a pleasant restaurant but certainly won’t be going back. So sorry to hear negative but only being honest.

We had breakfast at the New Forest Pantry on Sunday morning and it was an absolute delight. From the beautiful interior, to the quirky table reservation, to the cool music, to the friendly service - and not forgetting the amazing food. Would highly recommend a visit - I wish there were more places like the New Forest Pantry!

Lovely clean and attractive cafe. Superb menu offering great food. Excellent avocado and sweet chilli dish. Great coffee.

Had a ploughman's and coffee, very nice the place is very clean with lots of interesting decritive touches. Friendly staff all in all a good experience.

Small but perfectly formed. Had a lovely al fresco lunch here today. The menu is excellent, really hard to make a choice, lots of lovely freshly prepared light lunches to choose from. I would describe the options as modern, lots of salads, avocado, houmos, olives, feta in the dishes. Also more traditional sandwiches to choose too. Nice selection of drinks both hot and cold. Prices are also very reasonable. Friendly staff. Loved it and look forward to returning soon.

We popped in here for lunch on a rainy day. The staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful and the place itself is very quaint. The food was very nicely presented, although I did feel the portion size was very small for the sandwiches. The cakes are totally amazing though. We had three different types of cake between us and they were all wonderful and really big portions. Even my husband who doesn't like cake thought the Dorset Apple Cake was delicious and he finished it off.

Lovely food and tea will go back

This is a nice place and the breakfast was good. However I found the full English was a little smaller than I thought it would be. They also gave my friend tomatoes when they’d said they’d switch those for an extra sausage. The tomatoes were also cherry tomatoes and uncooked which I wasn’t a fan of. The drinks are also quite expensive (£2 for a small glass of orange juice). However they have a good deal where you can pay an extra £1 if you’re getting the full English and can choose any drink. The hot drinks they make are excellent and well presented. I’d recommend the chocolate milkshake, the Jaffa cake hot chocolate and the tea (which comes with an entire pot). When we left we also got the dirty chai and the mocha, both of which are absolutely delicious. The cafe itself is nicely set out, and clean. It definitely has a quirky vibe to it. I’d recommend the place if you’re in the local area.

Lovely breakfast in a lovely setting. Really well laid out with beautiful decorations. The people who work here are really friendly and welcoming. Can't recommend this place enough

Very good place for breakfast--very effusive welcome and they will cook you anything you like--I had scrambled egg and smoked salmon on sourdough--perfect and good coffee also

Tasty food but breakfast served on cold plates, so food cooled quickly, but mentioned it. Apart from that service good , lovely ambience

This still the best place in Ringwood for a bite to eat Stu, and his team of professional staff are great. Food outstanding Ambiance outstanding

Called in for a light bite around lunchtime. What a lovely atmosphere. Very friendly staff who managed the COVID regulations very well. Food was amazing and freshly cooked. I would definitely recommend visiting.

Good food in a compact location. Friendly staff and good value. There is a small patio area behind..

Booked for a table of 6 but one of our party couldn’t make it. As soon as we arrived we were greeted and shown to our table. Slight mix up over bookings but the other people were very accommodating and was sorted very quickly. The food was AMAZING! Cannot emphasise enough how lovely and fresh it all was. Most of us had the avocado and sun dried tomato on toast and it was delicious and light. We were then offered cakes and scones all of which were absolutely lovely and the staff were wonderful, so helpful and accommodating of any dietary requirements. We were also given a discount due to the mix up. I cannot recommend this place enough, it’s hidden garden is lovely and it’s such a find! So lucky to have discovered it!

Found this wonderful dog friendly cafe for a half way meeting point. Food was lovely and the manager and staff were friendly and very helpful. Definitely will be having a return visit

My daughter ordered two Afternoon Teas to be delivered to us recently and they were extremely good. The choice of sandwiches was varied and they were very tasty. The scones generous, light and fresh with clotted cream and choice of jam. This was all finished off with strawberries and a refreshing cup of specialty tea. I thoroughly recommend you ordering this treat for a Saturday Afternoon Tes.

We ordered two takeaway afternoon tea boxes for my in laws at the weekend, we found the boxes to be excellent value,a good variety of sandwiches was offered as well as a scone with cream and jam,some strawberries and macrons. Both parents thoroughly enjoyed them!I would definitely recommend The Pantry, and if you have friends or family who are unable to get out and about or are shielding the afternoon tea boxes are a lovely treat delivered in the local area.Looking forward to when the cafe reopens and business is back to normal!

I’ve written before and the New Forest Pantry just gets better and better Such a wonderful place to eat good food in a fabulous setting Stu, the owner, his outstandingly professional and friendly staff make you so welcome. The best in Ringwood by far

Sadly I could only have takeaway, however, my coffee was gorgeous and made my walk around the countryside of RIngwood even better. The owners were lovely and spoiled the dog with treats too! I don't know who was happier. Can't wait until lockdown is over so I can go for lunch!

Could not fault it. Good breakfast and quick, friendly service. Our place of choice from now on. Extensive menu.

We visited this very welcoming cafe for lunch today and from the moment we arrived we were super impressed. My three year old was having a moment outside and the owner was v quick to get some marshmallows to distract him-worked a treat! The food was absolutely delicious. We would definitely visit again.

We like to support independent cafes.This little treasure was almost tucked right out the way between other shops. Lovely friendly staff member greeted us and explained clearly where we would find menus and how we were to order food. We sat upstairs listening to the relaxing, easy listening music whilst enjoying lunch.We both chose ploughman's with ham and coffee.. Very generous size portion and fantastic value for money..Nice to have a choice of cafetiere coffee too.. and an option of hot milkDefinitely coming back again ..thank you
