The best restaurants in Bramshaw, Copythorne North and Minstead New Forest South East

Great place, 2 open fires, rustic and simplicity at its best. It was my husbands bday today and they gave him a pint on the house! Ploughman’s were exceptional, homemade and fresh and lovely warm bread. We will definitely be back.

A lovely country pub with a cozy atmosphere. One of the great pubs that I bring friends to when I visit the New Forest.

Great food both quality and selection. Cheese board to die for (sooo reasonably priced at less than the supplement other restaurants add for cheese on a set menu). Amazing wine list - reasonably priced, and with some gems not even listed. So many dishes to try when we get the chance. My only criticism would be the lack of soft furnishings - it was really full when we were there, and quite difficult to hear with nothing to deaden the sound. Great value for money.

We have just returned from a lovely evening at Le Chateau. We had the Sharing platter which was freshly cooked, homemade and delicious and plenty to choose off the menu.We ordered the deal with a bottle of wine as well which was very good value.

We have just had the most incredible Sunday lunch at 'The Bell'. We originally intended only stopping for a coffee before returning home after a lovely weekend in the New Forest cycling. However at 2 pm, with the aroma of a roast in the air, it would've been rude to have not indulged before hitting a rain drenched M27. And we were very glad we did. The food was of excellent quality - we both had the roast beef which was delicious and came with all the trimmings, including a zingy horseradish sauce. Our request for extra gravy was received by attentive and welcoming staff and was swiftly met. Portions were hearty, and the meat was cooked to perfection. Rounding off our meal with coffees by the fire was a perfect way to end our trip. We will definitely return and will recommend to friends and family who often pass this way. A truly memorable lunch and a wonderfully relaxing way to end our weekend break.

We went to have sunday roast but was a bit disappointed as stuffing balls were hard,Yorkshire pudding was cold ,meat overdone ,roast potatoes were hard and cold and plate was cold ,on a plus side the staff were great,the pub was recommended by a mate, unfortunately let down

Brilliant location in the new forest. Friendly staff. Could do with a bit of TLC, e.g. new benches The main issue was that unfortunately drinks are served in plastic cups if you want to drink outside.

Despite it feeling a little chaotic which was off putting initially, the food was delicious. We both had roasts and everything was so tasty (the gravy was fab). The portion size was just right and we both ate the lot. I had lamb and there was plenty of meat but my only slight criticism is that it was a little chewy in places. We will definitely be back and hopefully the overall feel will be calmer by then

We stayed here for a couple of nights, as we wanted to explore the new forest and this accommodation was central to where we wanted to visit. On arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady at the bar ….i was informed her name was Bunny , she was so friendly and booked us in and gave us all the information we needed. We were booked in for an evening meal which was lovely. We had the pleasure of a really lovely young girl named Katherine and she gave us so much information about a few places to go and visit including the wildlife centre which was about 15 mins away by car. The following morning at breakfast we were greeted by another great member of staff named Dan, he was so polite and took our order , the breakfast was lovely and such a great choice to suit everyone. There were other members of staff that were equally as nice and friendly but unfortunately I never got their names. Our room….. the room was clean and comfortable for our two nights stay, it had everything you would need including tea/coffe facilities,hairdryer, iron & ironing board ….the only downside was the bathroom felt cramped and in need of a little TLC. The shower was ok for us but if you were of a larger size you could possibly struggle to get in and out as the shower door didn’t fully open. Well done to everyone at the white rabbit we would definitely come back in the future 🙂

Absolutely lovely place to have a meal with friends or family, They have gluten-free options, I had the pie and it was so yummy. Portions are really big and all good delicious including puddings. Thank you

Breakfast area far to small go there at the wrong time and it's chaos

It was a late lunch so we just shared a cheese and chutney baguette. It came with fries and a small green salad. Firstly, it was a good job we only wanted one to share because it was £11.99. The baguette was nothing special. Quite limited in cheese which was cheaply grated to make it look more. The worst thing was the fries. A horrible brown colour, looked like they had been overcooked or recooked. Sure they were also done in oil that was used for everything and well past its useable date. They were just short of disgusting. My wife wouldn’t eat them because they smelt and tasted of fish. Shame because staff were friendly and drinks fine with what could be a nice beer garden (there was some rubbish waiting to go to the top by the looks of it). Probably won’t be go again and certainly not to eat.

Wonderful roast dinner the service was fantastic but felt for the staff after hearing the constant raging from what I believe was the chef otherwise our experience was delightful . Highly recommend the Compass Inn for a fantastic Sunday Roast .

Do love stacking orders after 12.30.
