The best restaurants in Barton New Forest South East

A favourite of the locals, that says a lot! Weekend music. Great food in the restaurant and always a warm welcome. Brilliant. P.s. it's seriously noisy inside and would definitely benefit from some sound absorbing wall treatment.

Just a quick shout out to the Cliff house. Usually put a review on every now and then for the Cliff house. Ate here last week and yet again exceptional service, great choice of drinks and good menu. Had a chateaubriand which was cooked perfectly. Price is ok for location. Thoroughly enjoyable

It was early and the food quality wasn't compromised

A great dog friendly cafe, wide range of food and drink including beer! Great after a nice stroll along the cliff tops!

We booked a table for our anniversary meal. The food was excellent and served quickly. Particularly impressive as the place was very busy. Ryan did an excellent job looking after us and his cheerful and friendly attitude helped ensure we had a very pleasant evening. The ribeye steak was very tasty. The burger was one of the best I've had for a while. We look forward to returning and would certainly recommend.

We have visited here for what will probably be the last time I think, the prices for breakfast are now in line with restaurants which this place definitely is not! Nice friendly staff but the place is holding their loyal customers to ransom with their prices. It's a Cafe no more no less!

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

Best Fish and chips in the area. Fabulous lunch deal at £7.50 for fish and half portion of chips. The fish is cooked to order and is always deliciously crispy.

Milton Green Lees Best Chinese takeaway ever.

We had a takeaway from Oliver’s last week which was delivered to our home. The meal was delicious, but we were charged £1 for delivery, when on their website it is advertised as Free delivery on orders over £15 within a 2 mile radius. I checked the bill later on and saw that we had been charged £1 for delivery even though the meal was over £15. As we only live about half a mile away I telephoned to query this and was told because the price of petrol had gone up everyone was now being charged £1 for delivery. I don’t mind paying £1 but I should have been told this when I ordered the food and they shouldn’t advertise free delivery on their website anymore. We have used them many times in the past and have never had any complaints before. This is why I am only giving them 4 ****

This is the first time we have been able to book the brasserie here thanks to Covid. The entrance via the clubhouse almost made us turn back, with rubbish strewn over tables and the floor, but as we wound our way through a more mellow bar area, we eventually came to this bright and modern restaurant. Too bright really and the room would really benefit from dimming the lights and real candles on the tables, so it felt more like a brasserie than a café. That said, it is surprisingly attractive and pleasantly furnished. The menu is not as published online, which was disappointing, but the options were interesting. We shared a Garden platter and a family platter and also had one soft shell crab and a lamb kofte. The Garden platter was very good with light felafel, tasty onion bhajis, and really good home-made hummus. The family platter was also very good apart from the Calamari which were very rubbery. The softshell crab, which is rarely seen in local restaurants, and the kofte were good too. Most had burgers and chips for mains which were ‘yummy’ both chips and burgers. The tuna steak was enjoyed but was said to taste like beef! I had the South Asian curry. It looked really dull with no attempt to make the dish look attractive. A pile of boiled rice on the plate and a bowl of curry with a handful of chopped cooked chicken thrown in the top and not even stirred in. However, this was gorgeous and one of the most flavoursome curries I have eaten. The waitresses made us laugh as there were three Sauvignons on the menu and we chose the Chilean. The waitress wasn’t sure if they had any and asked for our second choice, so we picked the New Zealand. We got the Australian, but it was fine so we didn’t say anything. We ordered a second bottle and this time we got the Chilean wine! This was a very pleasant meal and with a bit more atmosphere this would be a very good night out. I think the menu is perhaps a bit dear and too fancy for the residents as there were only three tables taken – they need to push this place some more with a few specials nights maybe?

Ordered a delivery. The chicken had an odd texture: we managed 3 mouthfuls and threw it in the bin. This is the 3rd time I’ve ordered. Great first takeaway, second was average and thought I’d give them another try but it was a complete waste of money.

Ordered a takeaway while staying here on holiday. The staff member who delivered it was quick and incredibly polite. I had a chicken madras, boiled rice, keema naan, dhal tarka and meat samosa. This is what I usually order from every Indian restaurant and this did not disappoint. The Madras was excellent, beautiful taste and perfect heat. Would highly recommend.

Excellent meal, great service, very friendly atmosphere. Mixed "a la carte" and Sunday carvery menu. Tasty bottle of shiraz. Lovely quiet table in fairly busy restaurant area. Would recommend. Will be back!

Saying farewell to a loved one is stressful and emotional. But the team at The House Martin hosted the most lovely celebration of life for Mike's family and friends. Ashley treated us with compassion from the moment we called up to enquire, and he understood we didn't have exact numbers. He was an angel. Before the day, the awesome chef, Jason, spoke with us about the cakes he would bake and they were utterly delicious crowd-pleasers. On top of that, the beautiful setting gave us the room to talk and reminisce together. Outside of this, we've enjoyed lovely lunches in the recent past. The food and drinks are fab and all the crew are attentive. Thank you from the bottom of my heart <3
