The best restaurants in Brockenhurst and Forest South East New Forest South East

Stumbled upon this lovely little cafe by chance as the place we used to visit was closed. Great selection of cakes, made a lovely cup of tea, which sounds odd but some cafes I've been to, the tea has not been great. Going to say very dog friendly as opposed to just dog friendly as the staff seem to enjoy having our four legged companions visit them and came across to say hello to our terrier. Husband had the salted caramel brownie, I tried a piece and it was melt in your mouth. Often down this way so will be adding this to our must visit places when in the New Forest.

My wife & I go here every week and quite honestly it is the best cafe I have ever been into. The food is always served hot- very tasty- and what ever you have is presented very well- and there is a wide ranging menu. This is a husband and wife establishment- Paul is the chef and Fleur FOH. Fleur bakes an assortment of fabulous pastries and cakes- and the whole cafe is spotless having a 5 star hygiene review. We both have very high standards when it comes to dining out and I would recommend this establishment to every one.

The food was first class and the restaurant manager was very knowledgeable. We had a good chat with him. We would come back,

We went miles out of our way to visit this place and boy was it worth it. Best donuts, best cakes and amazing bread, what more do you want. Great service and a very good price. Will definitely be coming back

Lovely little cafe, great staff, proper loose leaf tea. We went in for tea in the morning, then went back again for lunch. Couldn't fault it.

A perfect spot and amazing grounds for our wedding anniversary, we would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

We went there for our Wedding Anniversary meal last week. We don't live in Brockenhurst but had come over to the New Forest for the day from the Isle of Wight so it was our first visit to Albero. What a find! All the food we had was delicious and freshly made. My gluten free pasta was so tasty. The staff were polite and attentive. Will definitely keep it on our list of places to eat.

Food was amazing, staff very friendly. Our order was forgotten? Waited 45 minutes for a pizza… don’t think we’ll bother going back

Wonderful place, fantastic food and helpful staff Dog friendly, altogether a lovely experience

Lovely lunch on our return Brockenhurst and Britannia Thai. Friendly service, lovely dishes including lamb massaman. Really glad we returned to this lovely restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic meal on Saturday night, first time visiting this pub! Staff were attentive, we had the pie, double burger, tomapork and a childrens meal. Everything was fresh, piping hot and full of flavour, 100% recommend and we will be back!

This is a lovely place...we had breakfast here...the food was all cooked fresh and the service was swift... it's quite a large place but feels quite intimate... spotlessly clean and very well run...we will return..

Went there last night. Popped in but wasn’t hungry at the time but the smell made me go back 10 minutes later. The owner was superb. Found out what we wanted as we were queuing and got it cooking so we didn’t have to wait long. Fabulous fish and chips , would recommend. We will return next time in brockenhurst. Great service , Thankyou

Ate here as part of our stay here. Warm decor in the restaurant. Was given a warm welcome by our waiter who provided great service throughout the evening. Enjoyed tasty small Barbacoa Beef Tacos to start, a great Battered Haddock & Chips with a salted caramel to finish. Recommended if in area or staying at hotel.

We recently stayed at Forest Park Country Hotel to celebrate my birthday, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The hotel is beautifully set in a large garden surrounded by trees, with a wide open green just outside where wild horses roam freely – such a magical sight to wake up to! Our room was tastefully decorated to match the country charm of the hotel, yet felt modern, fresh, and very clean. As a lovely surprise, the staff had left a birthday card in our room upon arrival – such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. We were also greeted with a welcome note from housekeeping, which was a lovely personal touch. The hotel is incredibly dog-friendly. We stayed in a ground-floor room with a back door leading straight into the garden, which was perfect. The room was well-equipped for our dog too – with bowls, a blanket, and an adorable welcome pack that included a toy, treats, and poo bags. It really made us feel that dogs are genuinely welcome here, not just tolerated. The staff were warm, friendly, and fun to chat to. They were very accommodating and offered helpful recommendations for the local area. We especially loved the Inn bar, where we could enjoy meals and drinks with our dog by our side. Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from, and the food at the restaurant was outstanding – beautifully presented, high-end quality, and reasonably priced. We ended up dining there both nights because it was just that good. The location is also ideal for exploring nearby villages like Beaulieu and taking in the natural beauty of the New Forest. Highly recommend this hotel – especially for dog lovers looking for a relaxing and welcoming countryside retreat!
