Wheatsheaf Inn in New Forest

Excellent fish and chips at a very good price. Friendly service. Spacious dining room. Highly recommended. We didn't need to book.

Wow what a great find and the Food and service were brilliant. Also the price was really cheap for the quality of the food a must go if you are passing through.

Took mum in law for lunch on her 94th birthday. She has to have a special diet due to medical reasons and it’s hard to find a chef that accommodates it. Well…. Nothing was too much trouble for this pub/restaurant! Our food was delicious and hot, and the staff were very friendly. We can only assume that this is due to good management and it being a nice place to work. Our only regret was that we didn’t have the carvery which looked amazing, we’ll be back soon to try it!

Called in for seniors carvery lunch which is amazing value and excellent quality, lots of perfectly cooked veg and a generous portion of Turkey, beef or gammon. Can’t be beaten locally. The service is always exceptional, our waitress today was charming, polite and helpful. The way she dealt with very cantankerous elderly customers showed a maturity and respect way beyond her years, she could write a training manual! It’s a proper pub, nothing fancy, no airs and graces or pretence to try to be upmarket. Just honestly good ingredients, well cooked and served with a smile.

We had brilliant service as per usual and the food was amazing.I had home made chicken Kiev it was delicious and cooked perfect.thanks to the chef Tom

Thank you to the staff who served us a fabulous Christmas Lunch. A super afternoon with lots of atmosphere. Will definitely be booking again for Christmas Lunch

dreadful service , starter arrived ok, sadly the main course hadn’t arrived after about 45 minutes so we asked , in a couple of minutes was the reply, it did arrive but one of the meals was incorrect, oh the waitress had written it down wrong. We didn’t have time to wait another 45 minutes so we shared one plate, although I’m still waiting for the vinegar and tomato ketchup. Perhaps what was more annoying is there was not even an apology, they looked at us as if we were at fault . Clearly some serious training is needed ..

Rang to place booking for Sunday lunch and asked for confirmation that could take our dog. On arrival at appointed time were told could not enter restaurant area with dog. Explained told prior to booking could take dog still refused. Told could eat in bar area which was crowded and no spare tables. Very disappointed with experience but drove down road and found The Martin House were we had a lovely Sunday lunch

As regulars we can only say,that we are always made to feel very welcome by the staff. Tom the chef does a excellent carvery, and his gravy is to die for. It would be nice if they did fish as a special sometimes,but we do find Tom's carbanarra to be an excellent alternative.

Our family of 6 and 2 dogs were staying locally, ate here twice the staff and locals so friendly and really made you feel welcome. Food excellent especially the the 3 meat roast which is such good value for money, well worth a visit 😀

Thank you for a lovely meal last night that I enjoyed with my family on my birthday. Delicious menu. Mushrooms to start. I had sirloin my husband had lamb shank my family had the cod and the scampi. All cooked to perfection all came out at the same time no waiting and beautifully presented. Candles on my pudding and the birthday song by the staff made my night. Thank you. Service with a smile as always. Compliments to the chef 😁

Carvery is great value and you get a decent portion, but the food is very good quality. It’s worth a visit and they have a full menu aswell. Been several times over the years, today was the best visit.

The BEST!! gigantic tomahawk steak we have had anywhere would highly recommend any steak lover to pop in and speak to the landlady to order a eve in here with the lads and a proper 24 ounce bad boy steak at an amazing price, cooked to perfection by thier excellent chef Tom who really knows how to cook a bloody good steak. Will be back for sure!

Asked for a drinks menu , the lady behind the bar looked at me in shock like I had just insulted her. She stated she did not have a drinks menu only a price list , when we said they used to do a drinks menu and cocktails we were looked at like we had just strangled their cat. One look at the menu , basic / boring/ no vegan dishes. Except a dish called vegetarian burger that contained coleslaw lol. Decided not eat there and traveled 3 minutes up the road to the walkford where I enjoyed a cocktail (or 20, whilst writing this post) and some delicious food. Avoid , unless you like being treated like absoloute turd.

We went for a carvery. I had a senior carvery, and my son had smaller carvery. The senior meal came with a free pudding for £8-00. Well if I lived nearer, I would pop in every day. Two young ladies where there to take our order, very friendly, and polite, also the chef was very helpful. There was a party of 24 people, but they still didnot forget us on the other side of the room. Very friendly little pub, well worth a visit, if you are in New Milton.

We visited for sunday lunch early evening after friends recommended. It was awful. Very basic and very poor quality. Very disappointing.

Great Wednesday night quiz as usual. We had dinner before and quiz started at 8pm . Good fun, lots of prizes, plus great raffle. Really good fun night. Quiz run very professionally as usual . Thank you.

Great staff lovely food couldn't fault them at all would recommend as also they are a dog friendly pub 10/10

It's been a while since we've been made to feel as welcome as we were here. Warm, friendly with great food. Even the dog was spoilt. Looking forward to the next visit.

Fabulous carvery, l can't find fault with it. Puddings very good too. All seemed to be cooked fresh and meat was very tender. Staff are very pleasant and helpful too.

We went on Monday 7th November with my Father In Law and we were so pleased that we decided to go. Both my Father In Law had omelettes and they were absolutely amazing. My husband had the ham, egg & chips which was very tasty....

Just had an excellent carvery. The food was fantastic and the service was brilliant for a group of 12.

Wednesday night quiz great fun. Very well organised. Roast carvery beforehand was very good too, beef as usual was excellent.

A superb sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce at the Friday night Steak Night. Great value too. Hard to beat I'd say! More please!

Had the Adult Carvery. The quality & quantity of the food was incredible. Plenty of perfectly cooked meat, vegetables & the gravy was amazing. Thoroughly recommend it.

I would 100% recommend coming here for a meal the price of the food is pocket friendly. The staff was more than helpful and catered for ny dietary needs (dairy intolerant). They let me know what i could and couldn't eat. The food was delectable,...

Ordered 3 drinks, 2 of the glasses were dirty and when i ask the barman, he said nevermind and walked k away.

Lovely pub with very friendly staff and nothing to much trouble made our grandchildren mashed potato with their roast dinner even so it wasn’t on the menu great big portions and lovely food all round will definitely go back if here on holiday again.

What lovely friendly welcome we received when we walked in. Staff really helpful and food was lovely. Great pub that has quiz nights and discos. Thoroughly recommended

Very unprofessional management in place, no hygiene standards and no customer service! General standard of the facilities are patch and repair

After ringing round numerous places they had availability for 9 of us. The pub from outside looks a bit run down and could do with a bit of TLC. Inside was a little old and tired. There were a few people eating but generally quiet....

Brilliant service with very good food and plenty of it. little gifts for children and the person celebrating their birthday. We will definitely be back and recommend 100%. Thank you.

Had lunch with friends and could not fault the food or service. However as moving from table to bar area to stop for coffee one of our friends tripped, banged her head on the wall and landed awkwardly on her arm. Unfortunately she had a...

Food is always hot and plenty of it. Very good with the portions , as much as you can eat. Beautifully cooked and a variety of hot vegetables. A pity they lay there in hot water this rather spoils them as you get far to much water with them on your plate. However very tasty. You can have a salad to start with if you wish included in the excellent price but again the cumbersome lids and sprung loaded tongs make this a difficult task to perform. All in all an excellent meal, good value, excellent service, and well worth a visit.

Not fine dining but amazing for the price. The carvery is very good, especially the large serving of meat. The vegetables are freshly cooked though could be better eg the cheese sauce in the cauliflower cheese was very thin. Ice cream or apple crumble is included in the price and both are good. The service was very friendly and efficient.

Popped in for lunch and surprised to find a carvery on offer as well as a few specials and a usual menu. Decided on the carvery..Choice of beef, pork or turkey and all the usual trimmings. Roast beef was delicious and plenty of vegetables to choose from . Home made Apple crumble and custard for desert was also lovely. Really good value. The staff were happy and efficient. The premises inside are gradually being renovated. Don't let the tired state of the outside stop you from going in . I would also like to comment on the staffs kindness and attentiveness to the needs an elderly disabled gentleman who was obviously a valued regular.

Have eaten here twice now for a Sunday carvery lunch. very tender beef & freshly cooked choice of veggies & salad bar. Friendly staff - decor a bit old fashioned & tired looking. Lots of banter from locals in the bar enjoying themselves.

Just the place for a quiet Sunday Lunch. Steady improvements in décor. Great value fresh food, including salad bar. Tender meats, veg cooked just right. Cheerful prompt service, music at a pleasant background level. We will be back!

Me and my wife and 2 very young children have gone for food. And not only was the food amazing but the service and hospitality was excellent. Lovely atmosphere and lovely people!!! We will definitely be going back. They made my 3.5 year old daughter feel so special when they came out with lollipops, bubbles and play doh. And amazing sprinkles with her ice cream... highly recommend

Amazing value lunch time carvery. £7.00. Salad bar , choice of three meats, loads of vegetables and a dessert. Wednesday night curry and quiz night excellent evening.

Voor elk wat wils. Lekkere gerechten en zeer vriendelijke bediening. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Ook buffet mogelijk.

Great dinner just the job wonderful staff a nice place to seat and have a great dinner and puddings thankyou

Fantastic carvery and great value for money.They have a lovely selection of curry on a Wednesday for curry evening.

Had a fabulous family reunion and amazing service in very relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back

Where on earth can a pensioner get a 3 course meal for £7? The Wheatsheaf in of course and we had a real blowout for that price and good quality food to

Always good meals and value for money. Friendly and quick service. Have even said that they will buy in for special request if not on menu. How much better can they get?

Really good food friendly service and very reasonable with a nice selection, also very helpful, nothing is to much trouble, overall a lovely experience

Have watched over the last few months such an improvement in the whole setup. The food is as always excellent and the staff are a credit to the owners.

Had an evening meal during our break in the area. Had a great carvery meal at a very reasonable price. It was the best meal we had during our visit to the area.The staff were very efficient and friendly and the food delicious and plentiful. Would definitely recommend.

I was the father being treated by his daughters and son for Fathers day at the Wheatsheaf on this occasion. I dispute the managers comment that we had made no complaint, in fact we had made three, one to the waitress and two directly to the group of over refreshed revellers which included the management couple; all of which were not only ignored but were treated with ridicule and an increase in volume which left us with no alternative other than to leave. I owe for one pint of beer and a roast parsnip but see this as poor compensation for a ruined family meal. I am a retired caterer and in my career i have managed seven licensed premises; I respect the managers right to have a drinking session with friends but to do this whilst open to public carries the risk of causing offence to families and losing trade which has happened on this occasion. My son later received a phone call from the manager that we hoped would have been an apology but it was just a threat that he would find out where my son lived and then he hung up without attempting any conversation regarding the upset. To conclude, this was a very regrettable incident that could have been avoided if the party had given a little thought and consideration to the diners trying to have a meal in the restaurant.

Visit around 3 times a week, great place to talk to locals who are lovely and great friendly staff who you can laugh with. Great food and broad menu which caters to everyone.

If you are happy to listen to the managers drunk friends shout, swear and ‘serenade’ you with atrocious versions of Elvis Presley songs so loud that you can’t have a conversation whilst eating in the restaurant...this is your venue!!! Worse place I have ever had the unfortunate experience of visiting. The saddest thing is that prior to new management this was a lovely family pub/restaurant that was always busy and the staff were friendly and accommodating. What on earth has happened!! Owner please consider who you have employed to look after your asset!! Sadly after visiting regularly over many many years I will never go again and judging by the very empty restaurant mid afternoon on Father’s Day much of your regular loyal patrons have made the same decision...

Lovely food, the turkey was excellent, better than a chain carvery that we visited a couple of days ago. The service was very good and friendly.

Lovely food Great service and a very welcoming pub. easy to find.Nice and clean lovely pub. Highly recommended.

New people have done well since taking over but bit worried its slipping, meals are a lot smaller now and still same prices as its competitors in the area that do the same food.

We normally eat here when we stay at Shorefield Country Park down the road, but found ourselves in the area so popped in for a carvery. Although the carvery meat was cooked well, portions were smaller than from the past and there were hardly any vegetables. Apart from roast potatoes, nothing was replenished whilst we were there. You really need to keep these topped up! Very disappointed.

Wij hebben twee avonden op rij gegeten bij deze pub, niet alleen vanwege het lekkere eten maar zeker ook vanwege de meer dan hartelijke ontvangst en service. Onze dochter van 1 werd enorm in de watten gelegd (en wij daarmee ook :-)). Leuk is ook dat er een grote buitenruimte is met een speeltoestel zodat kindjes niet de gehele tijd binnen hoeven te blijven zitten.

I visit this pub at least once a month for a carvery with a friend. The food is absolutely delicious, everything is cooked beautifully. There is a free salad bar. People over 60 can enjoy carvery plus free dessert! Amazing value for a more than reasonable price.

Newish owners but sadly it's not going the way it needs. The carvery vegetables are not up to the standard they were. Hopefully in time the owners will make the right progress here

Warm welcome from landlord, the first time I visited this pub was 29 years ago, it was 3 bars then. Being Bank Holiday evening it was quiet.Really well kept beer, definitely will go back. Few diners in the restaurant, will definitely have a meal next time

friendly and informal service, good carvery. Seventies décor and atmosphere, it took me back and amused me! Good value too.

Had a fantastic home made dinner. The staff were friendly and the location was great! Will return. Thanks for a lovely meal and great atmosphere

Had a fantastic meal, unfortunately as we live abroad we cant visit as much as we would like. This visit new owners have revamped the place, a lot brighter, food was excellent, the Carvery is always good but there are specials too now available, also breakfasts are available now. It's one of my favorite places to eat and visit when we are in the U.K

Good carvery and friendly staff. Our grandkids had a choice of meals from a child sized carvery to ham eggs and chips (a correct sized portion too) including a dessert. Don’t be put off by the position of the inn nor it’s decor,the food and service we received was good.

This establishment used to be a friendly pub with reasonable prices and basic,but good food. Unfortunately since being taken-over the service is poor and after my last visit on a quiet evening our food took approximately half an hour to be served even though it was a simple meal of beef burger and fries. The burger was half booked and the rest of the meal wasn't very appetising either. This wasn't the first time that this had happened if fact it was probably about the third! Therefore I have not been back since, despite the establishment being very local.

Lovely food and great value for money and extremely friendly staff, will definitely be visiting again when we're back visiting my parents next!

Wow a real bargain. Choice of three meats and over six veg plus salad if wanted, sweet choices four plus ice cream.We went for the roast beef, oh this you could cut with a butter knife, beautiful. Excellent service we felt really at home, on our next visit to New Milton The Wheatsheaf will be top of our list for lunch. Excellent !!!!

Went for a Sunday Roast with family for a birthday. Have only eaten here once before a while agoand it was very average, hence the no return. However family were staying at Hoburne Naish nearby so location was convenient. Roast was excellent, vegetables were very fresh. Not swimming in butter. Meat was perfect and service as good as it can be for a Pub. You get the feeling that although busy they will do all they can to accommodate. Very reasonable prices too. We will be back and with our neighbours.

Me and my family thought the service and the carvery was excellent thoroughly recommend it, will definitely be dining there for food and service again

6 of us decided to eat here on the Saturday night 2 weeks before Christmas for a night out our yards party meal. Had the 3 course set meal which you could choose a few options from had the prawn cocktail the prawns were very small but tasty the pate some others had looked nice and was told tasted good we all had the help yourself carvery after with a choice of Turkey gammon or beef very generous helping of meat given and plenty of vegetables to choose from I must say they were the best roast potatoes I have had in a long time crispy on outside and soft in the middle. Pudding again we had a choice of 3 desserts again very nice and large portions coffee and mince pies to finish. The service was good very quick and friendly the only downside was the restaurant in the pub only had two other diners and the place lacked atmosphere by 9.30 the place was empty although the pub bar next to the restaurant was quite busy but it was a typical locals pub full of mostly men who probably drink there every night they were very friendly though and we did not feel like outsiders invading their pub. In all we had a pleasant night enjoyable food but lacked the Christmas spirit it could of been any night

From the smiling welcome to the well organised service all was well...
