Turfcutters Arms in New Forest

Gorgeous cosy pub with open fire, with lovely food ! We had the yummy venison stew - recommended ! Grrat service. If I lived nearer, I'd visit regularly.

A proper pub selling real beer and great food. The sandwiches are enormous and worth the money charged.

Turfcutter's advertises a dog friendly stay and it certainly is. Our room was warm and comfortable with a small kitchen, a bathroom, tv etc. The floors were tiled so no worries about the dog. There is a small enclosed area in front of the accommodation where the dog can go or, in summer, you could sit out with a bbq and a beer. Excellent breakfast. None to beat it. Dinner the evening before, equally good. The atmosphere of this old public house, nestling in the New Forest, is warm and inviting and the staff could not have been more helpful friendly. We will certainly be back!

Fantastic food, friendly and welcoming landlord, staff and locals. Good darts player's too! 😉

Been there a couple of times for a drink and meals. Food standard for pub. Nice atmosphere keep the old pub character.

A charming pub. Traditional and full of character. Staff are all fantastic 👏 Really made to feel welcome. We were in a camper and are allowed to stay overnight in the car park at the rear (limited parking)

Very helpful staff and good food!

Its your local village pub located in the New Forest. Always a good selection from the menu and food has never disappointed👌🏼Recommend a visit.

Whilst holidaying in the New Forest, we (family of 4) wanted somewhere for dinner that had character and wasn't the usual chain of same old food, boy did we find it! Going from other reviews led us to the Turfcutters Arms, and I'm so glad it did. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the pub was charming and the food was amazing! All of our meals were completely polished off whilst enjoying the views out of the window at the passing pony's. The play area in the garden was utilised by our kids to burn off some energy, which they loved. We would happily return, and next time, I'm getting the pie!

A great spot to overnight In a camper. The staff were more than happy to help, when we turned up the camper spaces were occupied with normal cars, and even with a packed pub the manager didn't hesitate to ask around and get a space freed up for us. The pub caters for coeliacs and is very accommodating with the facilities even out of hours. Wouldn't hesitate to return

Friendly welcoming pub. Great chips!

Eaten here a couple of times and would describe it as pub grub. Lovely area to relax in the garden. Staff are lovely and always seems to be locals in so it has a great vibe.

It was Sunday evening and we went to this old local pub to have dinner, there were plenty of cars outside and a busy beer garden We entered inside and there were lots of tables reserved but we found one free where we could sit and have supper . The service was quick and good. The food took more than 20 minutes to come but the pub was very busy. The plates were simple, nothing special and the same menu as in all the other pubs but the atmosphere was nice and the building very special. We ordered a brownie with ice-cream, it came very quickly and it was tasty but everything was a bit overpriced for what it is. We paid £42.00 for two mains, one drink and one dessert to share. Apart from this, it is a very relaxing place and recommended as it is situated in a very nice village in the new forest and it has different environments inside and outside and is very beautiful. The staff was very nice I have to say, nothing special just doing their jobs.

Friendly staff, good food. Large terrace and play area behind the Pub. Member of Britstop: i.e. you can stay overnight with the Camper for a drink/meal. Beautiful nature reserve and National Motor Museum Beaullieu a 10-minute drive away.

Lovely family atmosphere in great surroundings

Only there for lunch in the garden, which was sunny and relaxing. With good food

Nice beer, great food. Definitely check out the pies (look on the specials menu or ask as they're not on the main menu). Friendly staff and a large beer garden. Worth a visit.

Found the Turfcutters almost by accident as we were holidaying in the New Forest and wanted somewhere to eat in our last night there. Table was booked and the staff were really welcoming to us strangers. We had some sumptuous food - starter, mains and dessert. Great find.

Lovely little pub with a lot of wartime history to see on the walls relating to the nearby aerodrome used by the RAF and Americans. Food is excellent and decent portions. Friendly staff and Landlord. Good local beers

We had a great evening at the Turfcutters the staff were exceptionally helpful and the food was good quality and reasonably priced we will return.

One of a dwindling number of proper pubs with locals just having a beer at the bar. Very friendly staff and the lasses serving both at lunchtime and in the evening were polite, patient, helpful and friendly. The food was very good quality and good portions too. The location is nice and you can walk straight onto the forest. More than doggie friendly and campers are also allowed to stay overnight if there is space (the car park is quite small so don't arrive late). The beer was OK but both beers I tried were a bit heavy for my taste, a light summer ale would be a good idea. Looked like a nice garden area but we stayed inside.

Stopped for Saturday lunch. Four adults and a dog Setting was great, staff friendly, welcoming, helpful and efficient Food was fantastic. Very generous portions and we all enjoyed whatever we chose Goats cheese salad was picture-worthy Thank you

Lovely meal, food came out piping hot. I had fish and chips and the fish had a great crispy batter. We did a pub stop over in our motorhome great atmospherein the pub during our meal, lovely and quiet over night.

A really nice pub, in a great setting with very friendly staff. We immediately felt welcome. The food came quickly from the kitchen and was still really hot. It was delicious too 🤤 Thanks for the evening!

Very very expensive, 2 pints of beer and a packet of crisps were well over fourteen pounds.

We were in need of a quick simple dinner for a family with a small child, and they did well for us. Good home cooking that came quickly with a decent play area in the back and wasn't too expensive. Excellent service too. If you're looking for an amazing culinary experience you'll probably be disappointed though. The bar was good, some local ales on tap always helps. We didn't stay so we can't comment on the quality of the rooms.

Lovely homemade food, friendly, one of my favourite places for lunch, very welcoming

Beautiful spot. The owner was very nice and staff were friendly and helpful. Roast dinners were lovely.

It had great outdoor space although it said no smoking under the marquee but people were smoking which was handy as it was a bit chilly if you had to sit completely in the outside space. A little expensive but just an observation.

Been here twice now and this place is lovely! Food is great, very cosy pub set in stunning surroundings. They offer a stay over service for camper vans should you wish to putchase a meal, you can park out back and use the toilets during your stay. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The specials board is great but i chose a burger which was cooked beautifully. I can't rate the rooms as we didn't stay in them but from what I've heard, they're also very comfortable.

Lovely pub and garden..great food as well

One of the best country pubs I’ve been too! A very warm welcome, the choice of food both on the normal menu & specials were great as well as the drink choices. Great atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon, the interior is really cosy. Will definitely be back when we are in the area.

This was our 1st visit to this great pub. Service was excellent, atmosphere great and food wonderful. We will definitely be back. This is a gem

Went here for Sunday lunch with the extended family. Lovely food at great value prices. Will be back.

We came for lunch around 12 pm on a Tuesday thinking it be nice and quiet, on the contrary, it became pretty much fully booked out with diners. The service was swift for us and the staff with professional and friendly. We ordered a sausage sandwich, french onion soup with bowl of chips. The portion size was very generous using quality ingredients. So we understood why it was such a popular place.

A perfect location for a short hiking getaway in the New Forest - a friendly pub with a vibrant atmosphere and very welcoming of dogs. The accommodation is clean and cosy with all that is required for a couple and their dog - we had a great break.

Close to the Motoring Museum, it was a good location for us. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast in the morning was tasty and generous in portions. The dinner specials were outstanding!

Great busy atmosphere, helpful staff and great food!

Stayed here for one night with family and the dog. Cute little rooms with a kitchenette and attached bathroom. They were basic but well done and served their purpose. The room was a little bit cold but otherwise fine. The staff were very kind and welcoming and we enjoyed our stay.

Had a fantastic lunch after a long walk through the New Forest. Great food and friendly staff.

Lovely food friendly old pub open fireplace not very warm, but weather was exceptionally cold, very good homemade pie very large, prices average as food has all gone up in price good experience

Stopped by here for lunch today as the food smelled fantastic, sadly they refused to serve us as they didn't have a big enough table available (four people) and advised us to wait outside in the very freezing weather until a table became available...not exactly welcoming. We also had a 1 year old with us so waiting outside wasn't really an option. Also no accessible toilets and no baby changing facilities.

Popped in for Sunday .. fantastic food and service.

Lovely pub out in the southern forest, we enjoyed a lovely meal with venison and gammon steaks. The owner came out to see us and tell us a bit about the venison's provenance and have a general chit chat - look out for the poacher's gun he found when renovating the property years ago! Good beers and friendly clientele made for a welcome retreat from a (very) wet day outside.

Gorgeous little pub with lots of character, just had the food and was perfect. We are in a camper van and staying at the back for free what not to like. Local ale is really good too, highly recommended.

Lovely little pub. Great service tried so hard to get everything right. Joyously chaotic but in a good way. Friendly and enthusiastic. Food was delicious and prompt.. please go and visit

Met up for lunch with family in this traditional country pub. The food was great and, while service was a bit chaotic, the staff could not have been keener to get our order right and we're admirably good humoured. The atmosphere was lively, with lots of local customers and walkers.

FYI Imogen's booking We had a great time! Slightly chaotic but great fun! The food was delicious. I highly recommend the game stew.
