What a fantastic find this pub was. They do food for smaller appetites, although the half-sized chilli con carne was a full meal. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I imagine everyone congregating here if there was a local power cut for a pint and a sing song!

Terrible food. Reheated food, all of it. Really bad salad - not a difficult one. Service was very fast (well when you reheat, it comes faster!). Nice little pub otherwise, but just bad food

Oh dear! Surprising to read such good reviews. As soon as we got there I realised I had made a mistake booking here. As we arrived the Manager was so busy looking at her screen it took her a few minutes to acknowledge us. Our table was just outside the toilets, one of the chairs was broken and unsafe, so we changed that, but it was just left for another customer to use. The food was plentiful, but not good quality - one of the roast potatoes was black and rock hard. The whole place is very shabby and in need of some tlc. Sorry guys but we will not be back, that said you seemed to be doing very good trade.

An Old School pub that does everything right. Having looked at the menu online I expected good reliable food. In reality, it was better than that. The welcome and service was very friendly and professional. The specials board had a good selection if additions to the menu. The food was of a good quality, well cooked and very tasty. The option of a small plate is really good, and whilst smaller, the portion size was still very reasonable. We also had one of the nicest desserts in a pub we have had for a long time. Prices were very good. I return to the service, because in an age when customer service is lacking, the Waterloo Arms has bucket loads. The question is not if we return, but when?

It’s one of those pubs where the creaky front makes you wonder what you’re stepping into . The door opens and wow , what customer service , greeted with a friendly smile and a “ Hello how can we help you , eating, drinking or both “ Fantastic choice of drinks and fabulous delicious home cooked food . We were staying nearby for two nights and ate here both nights and for a few drinks during the day . All staff were Great , Laura was Great and the cosy friendly Pub was all round great , we will be back , worth a visit if you haven’t been before.

We've been here a few times and our last visit did not disappoint. First off, it's a beautiful pub that is kept up so well. The staff are so friendly, work so hard and they make you feel very welcome. We like how they offer smaller portions of meals, it makes it more affordable and also you don't feel too full ( and you have room for one of their yummy puddings!). All in all its great value for money and it's nice to support independent businesses that work so hard during these tough times.

A beautiful pub nestled on the edge of Lyndhurst. The pub itself and the beer garden are a well deserved five stars but the food is barely a one. My vegetable cottage pie tasted like a dish of balsamic vinegar with a bit of potato and cheese on top. Accompanied with frozen vegetables. The lasagne was salty and the burger tasted as though it had been reheated. Although the curry was okay. I would go again for a drink but not to eat.

My partner and me had dinner at the pub today. We were very satisfied. The food was fantastic. The chicken breast was crumbly and tasty. The salad garnish is fresh and crunchy. The fries are fresh and hot. We didn't wait long for the food, it was ready quickly. The waitresses are very kind and friendly. If we will go there, we will return, this is 100%. I highly recommend it to all travelers.🤩

Came here because of the reviews but we didn’t get what we expected. Food was not that nice. Waiter made a mistake with the salad we ordered and he brought the ingredients they missed in a dish for us to put them in afterwards. We would have expected them to take the dish to the kitchen and fix the mistake themselves. The Sunday roast was not that nice either. However, we loved the cheesecake that we shared and staff were kind despite the mistakes. There must be better options in the area.

Lovely pub and welcoming staff. The rest of this review I hope, will be taken as constructive criticism. The meals do resemble something of a basic nature with a quality to match. Calamari is too heavily coated which take the taste away from the squid itself. Pizzas are large but look and tasted like a cheap shop bought base with added toppings. Kids didn't complain. Fish was a bit greasy, chips were good👍. Price doesn't reflect the overall quality.
