The Salmon Leap Pub in New Forest

This was a great pub with absolutely lovely friendly staff. Happy atmosphere, spit and sawdust good people. Our lady waitress was super lovely. The gents at the bar were really friendly too. We felt welcomed and at home. Also, huge compliments to the chef! Amazing steak dinner! Thank you! :) x

We visited here on Sunday 27th October for Sunday Lunch. Luckily we had booked as it was very popular with a great atmosphere. 2 of our party had liver & onions, the other 2 had the Roasts. All came out piping hot and presented well. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, not a mush and the meat was tender and succulent. A special mention must go to Heather who served us. She had a lovely sense of humour and made our experience even better. We will certainly return and can highly recommend the Salmon Leap, just make sure you book. Thank you Katrina

What a lovely lunch highly recommend the gammon roast. And the desserts are to die for my only complaint is they are to yummy

Had a wonderful Sunday roast with the family at the Salmon Leap today. Food was wonderful and great value, staff were amazing and made our Sunday lunch very pleasurable. Will definitely go back. 🤩

Lovely Stuffed Trout and other Fish Friday specials this lunchtime. Pub was fairly quiet. Good service as usual. Puddings were good too. Real ale is always available.

It Was lovely as it was for my partner, as he used to visit with his dad many many many years ago, a little trip down memory lane for him

Only stayed for a pint, whilst waiting for my son to finish work. A decent pint, a sd a bubbly atmosphere.

We went here for lunch recently. It was very lively and friendly when we went with a large group of people in, however the service was still excellent. There were a couple of cask ales on plus the usual drinks you expect from a pub. We had three courses and all were good (especially the roly-poly) with generous portions. Main courses were about £10-£15 I think. There is a nice circular walk from right beside the pub and a car park. There is a decent garden at the back and the pub is dog friendly.

We didn't eat but the pub was lovely for a drink and a relax

Met here for a 70th birthday service was efficient and the food was good. Light airy local pub work lovely walks around the area.

Popped in for our usual Wednesday morning breakfast and the breakfast is always excellent. Heather is wonderful and the chef is awesome.

A lovely family pub, chatty staff, good service and one hell of a roast dinner!

We visited the salmon leap tonight for my birthday. George, zac and Lisa gave us an amazing welcome. Lisa served our table, the service she gave us along with all the other tables was absolutely outstanding, she makes a lovely pub even more special. A wonderful evening, we would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Thank you.

Large party service good difficult to serve everyone quickly. Staff friendly, will call in again

Lovely setting and ambience. Wonderfully prepared and presented food and great service. You can't ask for any more!

Very impressed, cooked my steak to perfection and my wife’s lamb also, everything about the place is wonderful, recommend highly

As usual these days. Food is always good and plentiful. Staff spot on ! Fully deserved the award for best pub !!

Very nice pub. We only had a couple of beers but the staff were friendly. Also, they were helpful when my elderly father thought he'd left his wallet behind. Fortunately, he hadn't.

Best pub in Totton. Breakfast is incredible!

Our family and our dog visited this pub for lunch recently whilst staying in the area. We received a friendly welcome and we advised where we could sit with our dog. The waitress was lovely and polite - she explained all the specials available and discussed any intolerances/ dietary requirements we had. Our drinks came quickly as did our food. It was lovely to hear that my chips were cooked in a GF fryer, so no chance of contamination. Our food was all really tasty - we all had a variety of sandwiches (mine GF) and they were nice and well presented. I would recommend this pub to all.

Delicious breakfast & great value. Friendly service, great atmosphere, hot drink included in the price - I had a nice coffee. We’ll come again!

Absolutely no need to be so rude when I came in to ask if you're showing sports, website I looked at clearly showed you did in the past.

The Salmon Leap is a great place set back in a residential area as opposed to Totton High Street, great food, and sensible pricing and an extensive menu, good beers on tap, well worth a visit, the staff are really welcoming.

Wonderful food reasonable prices nice atmosphere

We have eaten here several times, breakfasts and lunches. Good has been very good quality and excellent value for money.

Beautifully decorated, warm welcoming staff, lots of choice on menu, amazing food.

Ate there last night, food was really good quality (kids meals and adults), service was also great. Nice setting too. If staying longer in area would go again without hesitation.

Went there for Sunday lunch as we heard good things about the place and we live a few minutes away. Loads of options for Sunday roast meats, portions are huge and moderately priced, pork roast had no crackling or crispy parsnip, the lady explained that they sold out and had none left. We did enjoy our visit, and probably will be back for a visit next time.

Best quality and value for money in the New Forest. Very Friendly staff willing to have a coversation and inform. I am a regular for breakfast.

Been a couple of times recently and each visit the service was very friendly & welcoming and the food did not disappoint! All freshly prepared & excellent value. A traditional local pub serving fresh local homemade food. Thoroughly recommend & will continue to visit in the future.

Great local pub and great food. The Sunday roast is amazing!! You need to book to avoid disappointment.

Very friendly pub and nice atmosphere. Food is extremely good and nice variety. Also you can bring your doggy companion as very dog friendly. There is also an ice-cream kiosk outside for a quick treat.

Lovely establishment with very friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Hosted my Grandmother's Wake here and couldn't have wanted anything better. Food is fantastic! Highly recommend considering this venue for any function, event, meal out, or just a nice relaxing drink! Thanks to all the staff! 👍👍👍😎

Good quality home made food. Good selection on the menu as well as a specials board and kids menu for the little ones. Not the cheapest but you do get what you pay for and not cooked by ping chefs.

Excellent food, very friendly staff 👍🏻 Bank Holiday Monday...

Great food, the chiefs did really well, the front of house staff were very nice and friendly and always really to help. Highly recommend

We came for a family lunch, having different taste we found the menue very accommodating for us and reasonably priced. They also offer gluten free options and made sure any allergies we had were noted. The restaurant area is very clean, bright and well laid out and would be ideal for a function venue as it can be separated off. The service was great, nothing too much trouble for them and special thanks goes to Heather and Sarah Jane who were very friendly and helpful. The food arrived quickly and together, no long waiting and was delicious (especially the chips). So thanks to the chef. This is the 2nd time we have been and most certainly not the last. Special thanks from us all. Jean and family

Very friendly, quick service, lovely food.

Great pub, staff friendly and can't do enough!! It has a good selection of beers & the grub was good & well priced.

Visited after a walk around Testwood Lakes. Friendly welcome, good service and excellent food. Plentiful too. Will defo revisit. Thank you.

I want to thank The salmon Leap for making my Mother’s 80th birthday meal a total success! There were 28 of us and everyone commented on the wonderful food and even better the service from all the lovely ladies! Definitely be back soon

Absolutely brilliant! Fantastic staff who were all so friendly and helpful. And the nut roast was the best I have had in a long time - if not the best! I would definitely recommend here!

A friend and I went and had an Exceptional Sunday roast. Quit and great service. Best roast I've had in a long long time. Will definitely return.

Cracking burger and chips. Best I've had in a long time. Gammon and chips were good as well. Definitely coming back and enjoyed the walk over the boards on the river Test.

Hi my husband and I visited for lunch, Food was excellent so Much choice , All staff are happy friendly, thank you Tash for your help today much appreciated 😛see you soon

When we arrived we were wandering aimlessly through the pub and it took a while to be greeted. When sat down we were given menus and they were quite clean however, slightly overpriced food. Service was quite quick however after ordering, we waited 50 minutes to get our food even though the pub was pretty quiet and the people in there were just drinking. When we received our lunch we were shocked. My partner had ordered the egg ham and chips and the ham was like it came from the sandwich meats section of Tesco. I had a fish finger sandwhich was quite nice however it was accompanied by some vegetable crisps not listed on the menu. The condiments were strange tasting, especially the black pepper. Overall was not a pleasurable experience and wouldn’t go back. However the staff were lovely and very chatty.

Excellent food and really nice staff.

My family and I come here for every occasion, best pub around! The pub is modern and clean and the staff couldn’t be more helpful, friendly and lovely. We always book a large table of 14 with children and a wheelchair, they couldn’t be better with children and they are very accommodating and accessible for my mum in a wheelchair. Would highly recommend their roast dinner but all their food is delicious. Great portion size and always fresh and hot, served with a smile. Thankyou Salmon leap, see you again soon!

My sisters and I went monday my 1st visit food excellent and service excellent too, was enjoyed by all 4 of us thankyou. Would highly recommend 👌

Nice cooked breakfast with tasty sausages and bacon.And Tea is included in the price.

What a hidden gem went to celebrate a birthday staff very attentive fantastic service from start to finish had roast nothing to much trouble will definitely return with friends

Toilets are a disgrace. At a function up the stairs. Licensing should have look at this. Not one single door locked on the cubicle. Would definitely put me off returning.

Arranged an 80th birthday treat. Salmon leap went out of their way to ensure it went well. Kudos to Heather, Lisa and the rest of the staff. Great service, great food. Thankyou !!!

An amazing pub! Lovely staff, always smiling :) would highly recommend to anyone. Service is very quick! A great atmosphere all in all.

Really good freshly cooked breakfasts. Warm welcome. Very helpful with finding suitable tables with wheelchair. Lovely friendly staff. Good value for money. Looking forward to trying a mid week roast soon. Highly recommended!

We love everything about the salmon leap, near to our home, warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Eric has been landlord for many years. Big shout out to Heather, Lisa and team Food is amazing, home cooked and great value for money, quite often come here for a breakfast on the weekend with friends. Then we tried the roasts!!! Wow, I am fussy when it comes to a Sunday roasts, been here now for three roasts, highly recommend and again great value, feel so privileged to have the salmon leap right on our doorstep

The small roast cost me £10 which could easily could have passed as a large roast ! Exceptional and friendly staff members Will be coming again asap

Absolutely fantastic pub! Great staff so friendly and so welcoming. What really topped it off was the Roast dinners they are lovely and extremely reasonably priced 😊 I don’t think you can get a roast at that price anywhere nowadays. Even had cauliflower cheese and not as an extra with lovely seasonal mixed veg and perfect meats… Really worth a visit 💯!! Oh and forgot to mention the crumble and custard pudding! 🥰

Came for breakfast and Sunday lunch in the same day! 100% by far the best food served in Totton, also recently discovered the cheese platter 😋 such a great all rounder pub. Wonderful staff

Perfect food lovely staff amazing prices for the service you get all the ladies are attentive and make sure you’re happy the whole time but without feeling pestered ! Can’t reccomend this pub more

Had a few pints and game of arrows , friendly staff nice atmosphere.

Just entered there for a coffee. But the location is good and the pub seemed really nice. Unfortunately I cannot comment the food but when I entered there some customers were eating a nice looking breakfast (5 stars ). I could leave my car parked there after I had my coffee, so I went to visit the near River (the path for the walk is more or less next to the park). You can really have a nice day if the weather is good 👍

Visited for Sunday roast today and both the food and table service were first class. The gammon was succulent and cooked perfectly. The home made cauliflower cheese and gravy were to die for. Highly recommended.

Good food, great service, friendly team and value for money. Nice and clean facilities, dog friendly, who could ask for more!

Attended a business event that was hosted at the Salmon Leap. Food was served, which was excellent, and service was superb too. Will definitely revisit as a personal visit to try more of the menu!

First time I've been back here in 35 years and boy was it worth coming back! Food was tasty, reasonably priced and service was fantastic. This will be my regular go to place from now on.

Popped in for breakfast. Service is quick and the bar area is very clean. Food is good, and good value. Staff are friendly and efficient. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fabulous roast dinner on a Sunday and lovely that dogs are welcome, great atmosphere and very welcoming

Fantastic family Sunday lunch. Best we have ever had out. Service and atmosphere was amazing. You will not find better in the New Forest…… and we have tried most of them. For a post dinner walk try the Test Way over the boardwalk.

The place is perfect for meeting with friends and family - the food is awesome and the staff are friendly and welcoming Altogether a lovely experience

Really good feel in this place, warm and welcoming. Service was great and food was amazing! We had the Christmas menu and everyone cleared their plates (Although some did get beat with the portions)

We had our Christmas party there. Impressed with the food and service. Will definitely go back.

Very lively local with live bands on a frequent basis. Tasty homemade food was a delight and the staff are very friendly. This all made for a very welcoming environment. Enjoy!

A lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Amazing food - the Sunday roasts are extremely tasty and there's always a great selection of specials! The staff are brilliant - always so friendly and really attentive. Definitely recommend!!
