I realised today that I'd never been in this pub before, either in its current guise or as The Rydal prior to that (although apparently it's been The Walker arms for about 5 years now). Food was delicious and fairly priced, the staff and other clientele very friendly). Took mum for lunch and she was able to navigate the inside well with her wheeled walking frame but struggled with it a bit on the gravelled car park. Lovely place and we will be back next time I pay a visit down south.

Three of us visited this pub today, whilst on holiday at a local holiday park. The sun was out, so we fancied a spontaneous pint in the beer garden. The beer garden looked decent, but the service was shocking. They were not busy at the bar, yet we stood there with both members of staff not acknowledging us for a few minutes. One member of staff even chose to move an empty glass from the bar, prior to acknowledging us and coming over. During this time the staff member shouted over to what I can only assume was locals, before they had even entered the door. Then we placed our order, one of which was for a shandy. I was distracted talking to my brother, before realising that the shandy consisted of 3/4 lemonade prior to him adding the beer. I tasted it at the bar and could only taste lemonade, so asked if he could top it up. I was awkwardly stared at with a stone face, before he topped up what I had sipped out of the glass so not a lot. We went outside and my mum went back into ask if they could make a proper shandy, with it being half and half as standard. The bar staff were both rude to her with the male stating it was half and half, and refused to top it up anymore. Terrible customer service, and wouldn't recommend.

Unless everywhere else is closed and you are starving, don't go here! We were here on 28th December 2023, we made the booking at the beginning of December, we turned up for our table (6 people) and they had forgotten the booking. That was the start of it, the food was awful, the chips tasted as though they were cooked in last Christmases cooking oil, and the pie was microwaved to destruction, the other meals were equally as bad if not worse, and having gone to the bar to give the order, they forgot one of the meals. Pubs are going through a bad time at the moment, and this pub would be the final nail in the coffin! New Milton has no really good eateries, but this one is most likely the worst!

I have been to this place consistently every year on Christmas Eve for the past 5 years however this year they have charged for entry and stop letting people in from 10:45. I have no issue with paying for entry however the inside was completely dead when we arrived at 11pm, all me and my friends wanted to do is dance and fill the dance floor. It wasn’t busy inside and they weren’t letting people in to do the most fun part of this pub every Christmas, which is dancing. I’m not sure I will come back next year, I might just go to Ciffhouse next year. Disappointing to see what it has become when it had so much potential. I used to love the big parties this used to be every year but the bouncers were not understanding and clearly thought the party was better outside where you couldn’t buy drinks. Confusing system when they met my sister in at 11:30 but not me and my friends in after they said no entry after 10:45. It was one of my friend’s first time coming here and I was embarrassed after how much I bigged it up to the that we couldn’t even go in. There weren’t even toilets outside and they wouldn’t let you go inside to use them. The people on the door had no solution to the problem. I struggle to believe they can make more money this way than last year. This is the worst experience I’ve had here by far.

Went there for a sunday roast as food on there website looked lovely. Dont be fooled. Recently been taken over i think. The food on their website is not what you recieve. Food was barely edible. Cheap tough meat...ingrediants were far from fresh or homecooked.. gravy so thick you could spread it. Shop bought yorkshire pudding but the worst thing of all was the roast potatoes and parsnips, these were not roasted but deep fried. I work in catering and i have never seen such a awful meal. Absolute rip off. It cost us £50 for 3 inedible meals. Very expensive and below par food. Will never go here again. Very disappointed.

We have been regulars here for sometime, and have eaten here very frequently. However, our last few visits have been disappointing from a food perspective. It has gone downhill. We asked the Manager what has changed, and he explained they have a new supplier. Such a shame when it was so good in the past. Still, its a great place for a drink and to meet friends, and a great team of staff that are always welcoming.

Having frequented the pub many times over recent years when we visit the local area, this evening we were thoroughly disappointed. Firstly, when the food arrived, it did so with a wasp cooked into the cheese topping. When we went to return it at the bar, the staff member went to serve someone else before me, despite noting that I had my dinner plate which he had just served us with me. Then when I told him what was wrong, he simply said ‘Oh, I’ll get them to get you another one’. No apology. Nothing. Then he returned to serving the other lady. The chef came out with my replacement food and apologised but it wasn’t until the end of the meal that the other staff member came over to ask how things were. There was no offer of any refund, discount or anything to account for what had occurred. It wasn’t until we said we’d like a refund that something was done!

I went here 3 times in 1 day! If that's not a compliment in itself then I don't know what it is to he honest. Great lay out both indoors and outdoors. Children's play area which is fenced off to avoid those with idol feet trying to escape when your backs turned for a few seconds. Beer garden has plenty of seating for those who want to catch some rays as they socialise or you can seek shade under the trees! You honestly can't ask for much more than what there is to offer here! Got 2 pool tables as well and a dart board...Win XD

Went down this evening as there was live music, but the place only had a handful of people dotted about (1st clue!) but least there wasn't a queue for the bar (2nd clue!). Asked for a Stans Big One cider but was told they'd run out!?! So went for 2 pints of Thatcher's Haze -£10.10! Wow! Such a shame as the band were singing their hearts out to 10 people but with prices like that they'll never fill the bar.

My partner and I saw a large A board outside the Walker Arms public house, stating 25% 0ff all main meals in January. So went in, ordered two main meals and drinks. But when our receipt arrived, we noticed the 25% had not been discounted on our meals. We asked the bar lady why this was, and she replied "The discount only applies to large main meals" Yet, on the A board sign, it just says ALL main meals!! Felt we had been conned!!
