Early evening meal for 4. Plenty of choice food & drink. Deceptively spacious but cosy too! Would recommend

We had planned a walk starting in Boldre and so we chose the pub for that reason, but we are so happy we did! We had a lovely Sunday lunch, delicious food and very friendly staff. A great choice of roasts and specials, as well as the usual menu. Lovely atmosphere in the pub, and it was warm and cozy - very welcome after a chilly walk. Thank you!

Stopped here for a quick drink and a small snack with my friends whilst my partner was doing the 100 mile bike ride round the new forest and so glad we did. Staff were very friendly and the snacks we had were good and there was a nice atmosphere. Was nice to cheer my partner on as he went past the pub too!

Mediocre meal (including under cooked fish in the fish&chips!) served in a cold pub by inexperienced young staff, no management presence. Nobody checked the meal was ok & in fact we had to go and pay at the bar as waiting staff not present … the place was absolutely empty when we left at 8.30 on a Saturday evening, which sums it up really. The response below from the owner does not reflect the situation - nobody asked for a fire at the end of August but we did ask several times if the back door (in the kitchen?)could be closed?! And my comments on the food and lack of service stand.

The once a month "Pie & Pud" night had been recommended to us, sadly we shalln't be passing the recommendation on! The lamb suet pie was fatty and tough. The fish pie came with a potato topping. The menu stated that mash could be swapped to chips for £1 extra, but pies with mash topping would have the chips served in a bowl separately. Fine, except that it was not explained that this would then be charged at the normal chip price of £4.50! The £4.50 was refunded when pointed out (rather begrudgingly) and mentioning the poor quality of the lamb was met with little interest. Deserts - not worth commenting on!

This is a lovely country pub, with excellent food choices and fantastic service at a surprisingly good price. There are many items on the daily, chef specials menu, as well as a good selection on the main menu. There are starters, main and puddings, plus a broad selection of beer and wine. Our sea bream was superb, and the burger our son had was not only tasty but stood out by having a toasted pretzel bun! There are many decorations around - including some securely fastened to the ceiling! - that reflects the farming history of working the fields. Lovely fireplaces bring warmth to cold winter days. And the nearby large framed mirror was so clean it looked like a window to another lounge. Definitely, a lot of pride is taken in this pub by the landlords and staff. One minor complaint came from my wife who, upon hearing from me about the decorations in the men's loo, was upset that the womens didn't have a similar theme! You'll know what I mean if you are a male and visit the loo.

Turned up after a wet and cold walk with our new dog, who is only 6mths old and very anxious in unfamiliar places. After he started barking, and wouldn’t settle we started to move to the exit to sit outside. However the manager helped find us a table where we could keep him out the way and comfortable, even though this was a table for 8 and there were only 2 of us. Very grateful for being so accommodating! After a while the dog even fell asleep which has never happened before, so we were able to order food, all of which was fantastic too. Lovely open fire and great atmosphere. Would recommend!

The Red Lion is a wonderful New Forest pub, in a beautiful setting and food to die for. I cannot thank the team enough for making my Mum's 88th birthday a really fantastic occasion. Jack's pink tutu was outstanding !!! The area we sat in was beautifully decorated, we had party poppers and the whole team sang Happy Birthday. We did nothing - they planned everything. We had a gorgeously decorated cake and the meal ( Amy thank you!)- what can I say about the food- just delicious. If you go no where else in the New Forest go to the Red Lion at Boldre. Fantastic food incredibly kind team. Kate

We arrived on time @ 7:30, drinks served and menus delivered, very quickly told what they didn’t have left from the specials menu.. couldn’t help think that it was only 7:30! Table we sat at was small for 4 people, and annoyingly being near the door to kitchen, we could hear the music that the kitchen was playing.. I nearly said I don’t want to hear their music thanks. Anyway, food was good, cheerful enough service, so overall ok.

We popped in for a drink and a light lunch and to do a recce for a family get together. We did this because some of the reviews were not that great and we didn’t want to book for the family if we were to be disappointed. Far from being disappointed we had a really warm welcome from Jack who found us a table in what appeared to be a very busy pub. A good range of beers and an excellent choice of wines, the comprehensive menu offered local produce and a varied selection of home cooked food. We enjoyed the local venison salami and a couple of baguettes. Without hesitation, we booked again for lunch a few days later for us and family members. This time it was less busy but the welcome was just as warm and the food just as good. Between us we had fish & chips, steak & ale pie and ham, egg & chips. Typical pub food and very delicious. Don’t be put off by some iffy reviews, give the Red Lion a go and if you find it as good as we did you will enjoy your visit.

We found the Red Lion a little by accident and are delighted we did. A warm welcome, a cosy table in a character old world pub setting. We were torn between a substantial specials list of starters and mains and the dinner menu. The venison scotch egg starter was light and tasty. The whitebait exactly as we like it, lightly dusted not breaded. Neither of us could resist the full rib rack which came like a medieval feast filling the table with outsize crispy onion rings, slaw, corn cobs and fries. Everything was clearly freshly prepared and well presented. We didn't have room for dessert but just had to share the lemon tart which balanced sharp and rich well. To say at the end of it all we were satisfied is a major understatement. We were glowing with wellbeing. Overall super value for money. Delightful staff team who looked after us in relaxed and attentive fashion. Can't wait to revisit and taste more of what is on offer. Congratulations to front of house, kitchen and management. What a thrill when everything comes together and we eat out enough to know how rare this is. Thank you.

We stopped into this location on our way down to Milford as it is the start and finish point of a dog friendly walk (Boldre Village Walk approx. 2.5hours). We had a drink and a ploughman’s for lunch before heading off. Staff were very friendly and it is clearly a popular location as the car park was full - they do have an overflow car park if needed. It is dog friendly inside and out, we chose outside as it was a lovely day. There is a private field nearby with some horses who were making themselves known and the garden area was spacious and nicely decorated. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, would defiantly visit again and highly recommend.

Exactly how a pub should be, welcoming, good well kept ale, nice selection of wine by the glass. Both the menu and the specials board were very tempting.....and proved to very good. A proper pub with restaurant quality food. We tried to book again later...

The only good thing to say is that the service was quick and friendly, ordered on the app and the drinks came swiftly, followed quite swiftly by the food which all looked nice, however two of our party had the chicken melt which once cut into you could plainly see the bacon was almost raw so we took it off and ate the chicken although due to everything else on the plate being on the cold side ended up only eating half of that, we were in a rush so did not want to fuss over sending it back, one of the other meals mixed grill was also on the tepid side, the only warm one was basically a basket of chicken and a side salad, when the waitress collected the plates and queried if the meal was ok we told her the issues she said she would talk to someone and then come back as she didn’t like to think of people not being happy with their meals, we waited 10 minutes whilst we finished our drinks, she never came back, I have eaten at several Wetherspoons and they are very hit and miss this one was definitely a miss and if we find ourselves back in Lymington we will be avoiding it!

The food was great but the owner/ manager was insulting and rude. First of all when my grandson’s legs wouldn’t fit under a table due to it having a ledge around it we asked if we could move tables ( the place was empty) he said a table is a table so move if you must, secondly we asked if they did garlic bread as my eight year old granddaughter enjoys it as a starter and he scoffed at us saying ‘this isn’t a Harvester’ and we don’t have processed grated cheese (we didn’t ask for cheese garlic bread and surely any chef can make a price garlic bread! He was condescending to say the least - and for his information we have never ate at a Harvester but I’m sure their staff would be better mannered. Unfortunately my family and I were too taken aback to challenge him. Then throughout the meal he was stood in the restaurant talking very loudly on his phone - a totally rude man! Maybe he just does not like people from the north and thinks we live on fast food restaurant food? However he does have an excellent chef as the food was very good.

I would have gave 5*, but we went there Saturday. We had burgers. Very good food. But what let it down was that we went there today. For Sunday roast. Order a starter olives. And 2 roast beef. They all came out the same time. So I had to ask if I could take home the olives. The roast came out as soon as we ordered. A bottle of water was £4.50 which we was not told.only found out when we got the bill. We felt we were rushed. As soon as we finished our main. The pudding menu was there. No chance to relax. Saturday I give them 10/10 . Today I give them 4/10 .
