Wheatsheaf Inn in New Forest

One of the Best traditional Sunday Lunches in the area in our view.

The food is truly awful! Undercooked chunky chips still raw, overcooked dry burger 🍔 the chicken Kiev is dry with no garlic sauce inside! Will never go again and the decor is dated and needs a total refurbishment!

A huge disappointment, carvery veg barely warm, all meat dry. Prawn cocktail a disgrace, lettuce shrivelled, prawns where miniature shrimp Service very slow, one waitress for bar and restaurant

Came here yesterday with family and friends, The carvery was amazing hats off to the chef Tom. Also the service was fantastic Would always recommend the wheatsheaf.

I'll only review the Sunday carvery as I haven't tried their everyday meals. The Sunday carvery is fantastic and beats the chain restaurants nearby by far. The meats aren't fatty, the veg is very fresh and all hot. Friendly staff. I will return to sample the rest of the menu. Thankyou, Wheatsheaf.

First visit. Great carvery. Great lamb rogan josh. Will definitely be back.

Sunday Oct 13th myself and my family booked a table to have a carvery dinner for my dads birthday.. lovely food and setting staff very friendly and helpful.. highly recommended ☺️

Absolutely brilliant. I had Hot pot hubby sausage and mash pud was syrup sponge delicious. Highly recommend please support this lovely pub ,/ restaurant

The carvery was delicious and so was the peach crumble, and good value too.

Popped in for lunch, whilst waiting for my Motorhome to get a water heater fitted near by. What a lovely surprise, a carvery! Was really lovely, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Whilst conducting some work in the area, I asked politely if could use the car park whilst visiting a nearby address - promising to bring my colleague in afterwards to get a drink. There was an unusual exchange in which I was given permission but in the next breath laughed at and accused of evening a liar - telling me “I know you won’t come back”. I said if it’s such a big deal I’ll find somewhere else to leave my car for an hour as I don’t like to be judged as dishonest. As it happened, my colleague and I decided we wanted lunch and several drinks - but of course we went elsewhere, to the Housemartin pub down the road. Here they were friendly and served nice food. Just goes to show - be careful who and how you judge people

Food was reasonable for the price, basic but edible. The waiting staff were very friendly. Needs a complete face-lift, pretty grotty interior. My major issue with the place was they allowed regulars to vape inside. It was like I had been transported back over 20 years. Shouldn't have to be exposed to that obnoxious habit particularly when it's against the law.

Had a drink nice friendly staff

Beware. When we arrived last night told that food is not served on Monday evening. No mention of this on website. As we'd walked in pouring rain for half rain this was very disappointing.

Great food at great prices. I recommend the pork belly.

Tried here as we had seen good reviews. Dogs were everywhere and it smelt of wet dogs. Had to wait a long time for service even though they were not busy. Food was like warm, not impressed.

Great place , dog friendly . Lovely local pub

Popped in here spur of the moment on a Sunday. What a lovely place! 3 had carvery, 1 had off the menu. All meals were plentiful, nicely cooked and delicious. Great choice of veg with the carvery, meat was just right. Staff were all friendly & welcoming.

The carvery was lovely and plenty of it for the larger appetite.

Lovely, food. Excellent service. Very good value. Friendly staff. Cheerful surroundings.

This is my local and love the place.

Nice carvery but a bit on high on cost at weekends.

Very nice friendly pub. Good value food and drinks.

Would highly recommend the Wheatsheaf Inn in New Milton if you’re looking to have a couple pints and socialise with some of the locals, relax and enjoy some live entertainment nearby the town centre.

Always a warm welcome from the staff

Excellent… we’ll certainly come again.

Just can't wait to go back there again ASAP

Went for a Sunday roast two weeks in a row whilst on holiday in the area. Great selection of veggies to go with it, and a delicious nutroast for vegetarians. Friendly staff too.

Lovely roast dinner. Will come again.

Friendly staff and carving chef. Food was okay for the price.

Fab find, scrumptious Sunday lunch including veggie roast, lovely choice of puds. Reasonable cost, impressed with our server, worked like a demon

We popped in wed after noon for a bite to eat and catch up with staff we had a wonderful food and chat very nice afternoon all staff nice and pleasant ty for great service xxxx

Great place for Sunday lunch today thanks. Great service

Went for a carvery and had a choice of turkey, beef and gammon. Good selection of vegetables. Good service. My mum had a syrup sponge with custard after and it was lovely. Music not too loud either which was good.

Come for food brought drinks and asked for a menu, once we had decided what we wanted about 10 minutes later, they decided to tell us that the kitchen was closed! Two hungry kids and no food. Would not recommend.

Real locals pub, was made welcome from the moment we stepped in the door. Fantastic atmosphere and would be my local if I moved into the area. Well done..

Very clean, very welcoming and friendly, hard to say about atmosphere as we arrived at the end of the lunchtime dinner service and it was very quite.

Fab delicious foods very welcome Grt evening

Landlord aggressively refused my son use of the toilet because I was parked on double yellow lines outside for less than 5 minutes. Wouldn’t buy a pint from here if I was dying from thirst.

Great staff and value for money tastey food. Nice traditional pub atmosphere and live music, thanks you for a great night

A nice family friendly pub, good food good atmosphere

We visited Easter Saturday only had a drink so cannot comment on food. Its an OK pub to pop in for a drink. Large rear garden. Not as expensive as other local places. Walking distance for Barton on Sea. Would visit again, it isn't posh it is just a pub. Friendly bar staff.

It was a nice roast dinner. We weren’t expecting great things as it was so late just as the kitchen was closing but it was good. Potatoes a little over done but otherwise 👍🏼

Out for a meal and a couple of drinks with friends, and they suggested the venue. It's a new one to me, but oh boy, did I enjoy it. What lovely staff, so friendly. The carvery was gorgeous and the atmosphere was really relaxing, which is what we wanted. Definitely one to visit again

Went on the off chance after a last minute change whilst on our break from living near London. The pub from outside looked very much like a local near where we live but inside the welcome from the family run pub was excellent and very warm. The meal was good and the service was first class and when found out it was our 45th wedding anniversary we was presented with a bottle of Prosecco on the house, how lovely.

Very friendly Staff. Great carvery. Reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Great service and wonderful carvery

Nice friendly family pub with a decent size garden & good range of beers on tap. Always clean & tidy throughout the pub & it's super dog friendly! The staff are always friendly & make a fuss of our dogs everytime we visit which they love. Not eaten at the pub as yet so can't comment but from what Iv'e seen it all looks good & sells traditional pub food on it's menu with a carvery option on certain day's.

nice little place for beer always locals in there about 18.00hrs

Great pub and atmosphere, friendly

I went today with my mum for a treat. Have not visited since COVID I will not be hurrying back. So so disappointing with the carvery used to be lovely. Three roasts one very rare beef which suited me a very dry old piece of gammon and bullets for Yorkshire puddings Vegetables not very hot. Nobody came and said was everything ok. What's happened. Will not returning would of been better stopping at home

Nice good old type of pub. Food was good and a great pint of larger

Always a pleasure to visit Always a smile and warm welcome 🥰 if allowed would give more stars

Had a steak here it was amazing, make sure Tom's cooking 👍🏻

Great pub, great food, great staff and a fantastic garden space especially in the summertime!

Lovely friendly local pub, with nice food.

Drink only on this occasion. Friendly and inviting. Ate here previously, food very good no complaints, excellent value for money.

I went in for a meal with my grandparents. First thing we noticed was the abundance of aggressive flies, my grandad claims one stung him on the ear. We got our drinks, they made a mistake with one of them. Giving my grandad a shandy instead of a normal beer. Then the food came, I had a burger. It composed of two flat bits of dry bread and dry patty, no sauce, no veg. There was one girl working, she was nice and helpful, the only reason for the two stars. Would not recommend

Popped in on the spur of the moment for Sunday lunch. Three meats to choose from on the carvery and a range of vegetables. Friendly staff and the food was fantastic. Well worth a visit!

We were a table of 10 with 7 adults 3 kids It was a last minute booking Food was excellent, really good service, good music and great value for money

My parents just moved here. The staff was super friendly and the food was lovely to. Could be a little cleaner though but that's the only thing I would note ...

Very friendly atmosphere we had a nice meal and a few drinks after and a game of dominoes with the owners recommend it

First time here for the Sunday carvery and we were so impressed! Super friendly staff and an amazing chef. Best roast dinner we have had in a long time - particularly loved the gravy. We will certainly be visiting again, thank you.

Brilliant local pub, very rare these days.

Nice little oldie world cosy pub/food place easy parking 😀

Lovely food. Lovely carvery. Dog friendly. Drinks very reasonable. We always visit when in new forest. Staff efficient too.

Clean, friendly service, reasonably priced

We have come while on holiday today. Just amazing carvery, great value for money, really friendly attentive staff. 16 of us last minute booking and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Highly recommend 😀

Good carvery, garden and service

Visited to watch the rugby on Saturday with family to celebrate my birthday . Staff were really welcoming to us in our strange fancy dress and the kids. Even supplied doughnuts! Thank you for an excellent afternoon!

Excellent.enjoyed the beer and the quiz

Very friendly great service and company would recommend to anyone 👌

Went for lunch food was luke warm, vegetables under cooked as a chef myself was wondering if the chef had the day off ? If not maybe he needs more training? Not had a roast dinner thsy bad for years! Great pub though will give it another try next time we are down in this neck of the woods.

It was very nice, real ales on tap were good, and tasted really good, would of liked to stay longer, but perhaps next time.

Great food and great value, landlord and staff very helpful 🙂

Excellent service and the food was delicious.

Good service, lovely burger and decent pint of Doom Bar, I'm happy I popped in for lunch on my way to the Hourglass.

Great staff, nothing too much trouble. Brilliant carvery

Friendly staff. Food ok. But don't go for the pie. Definitely not as shown in picture lol. £11 not worth the price.

Lovely, good value carvery here. Also a very comfortable, clean pub. Excellent, friendly service.

Very enjoyable service was excellent and the staff very friendly.

Just the Best !! Its a must visit places !!

Lovely staff there great customers

Visited on a Monday evening for a carvery...and wow what a meal. Loads of veggies, a sausage, cauliflower cheese and tons of turkey and gammon. Reasonable price for meals and the kids got ice cream included. The staff were lovely, really helpful and friendly. Was a really pleasant visit and if you need a good hearty carvery this is probably the best I've ever had. So good we left a little tip!

Lovely atmosphere super friendly staff and regulars

They used to be great...but now poor service poor food yesterday asked for a steak they didn’t have Any and the place was empty... so had an average pie a small dollop of warm mash potatoes no veg £11...will now be going to the Amberwood in future good plentiful food at lower prices.

Great venue and welcoming staff Well kept beer

Lovely food and atmosphere. I would recommend it.

Lovely welcoming staff, and a good three meat carvery with a decent selection of veg, served by the chef behind screens. They ran out of sausage for one of our party but came over with freshly cooked replacements after a few minutes and made sure she didn't miss out. Some veg a little overcooked but far from terrible. Excellent thick gravy, plus cranberry, apple, horseradish and mint sauce on hand. Chicken strips, chips and beans for the boy was a good portion, crispy and tasty. They made sure we were all happy, had decent social distancing in place and a one-way system but the staff did not wear PPE. Would probably go again.

Lovely friendly staff that couldn't do enough for us , great food at great prices , definitely recommend :)

Decent food, excellent value and good customer service. What more do you need from a pub?

Great food, went for a friday evening meal lovely welcome from staff who really looked after us, great music and atmosphere. Would definately recommend a visit.

Very friendly and good food and fog friendly

Friendly staff good food & drink.

My wife and our company had the carvery was ok . I had to wait for my Turkey and ham pie untill my friends had almost finished their dinners. When I got my dinner it was ok the pie was good. The dinner overall was ok. I would go back again. It is what I would expect from this type of establishment. The service was ok.

Very good. We will go back again

The food is good and priced to entice you in. Unfortunately the actual pub is looking very tired and in need of some updating/decorating. ⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic food,and excellent service

Fantastic service warm and welcome food is fantastic atmosphere is good

Decent garden and good size seating area inside. Staff are always friendly but can handle some banter. Prices are pretty much inline with other places although I think they should charge more for their food though (but please don't). Service had always been great and it's brilliant place to get the family together with kids as there's plenty of room inside and out. When the weather's good, the kids play area is brilliant - my only slight criticism is how easy it is to get around the carpark fence but to be fair never ever been an issue with the kids. A good place to go, will continue to use and will always enjoy a meal.
