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

A brilliant little place, we only stopped for milkshakes but so glad we did! Clean and tidy, lovely shakes and very welcoming staff!! The young lady with the blue hair was such a ray of light, happy and chatty! Will definitely be back for food

Great place for a cup of tea and a piece of cake. What more could you want from a quiet enclosed area with great tea, coffee and cake. Perfect.

Lovely place with great staff, food was good and very reasonably priced, decor was great fun!!

What a fantastic find this is! Really worth a visit. As soon as we walked in we were greeted like old friends.....my friend has been before and they remembered she had allergies. They really looked after us. The fish and chips were wonderful, with lovely meaty fish and the lightest of batter. Not greasy and hard. The tartare sauce was home made and so good I'd have eaten it on its own on toast. All the food we saw looked great and beautifully presented. I wished I'd had room for the amazing cakes too. Good value. Really looking forward to going there again

Ha sorry, it didn't originally ask for anything other than the rating. Amazing place though, great staff, very family friendly, we will be back! I assume it won't be classed as a 3 star hotel for much longer, I really don't see how it could have been at all.

We had a fabulous breakfast enjoying the continental and hot food , the staff made us feel very welcome and took photos for us nothing was too much trouble . We will definitely stay here again , great hotel.

Wonderful attentive staff, 3 of the four courses were divine, was let down by the king prawn and crab cocktail, slicing a king prawn in half, and couldn't see or taste the crab meat. Beautiful setting but not a lot of atmosphere sadly. And be careful with the request for non alcoholic drink requests. That could have been tricky. Thanks for a wonderful evening 😊

Really tasty lunchtime meal . All the families comments were complimentary of the food that is reasonably priced. Thank you P.S …the singing wasn’t that bad.

This is a lovely place to have a relaxing lunch. The food is delicious.

Delicious tasty food, nice ambiance, very friendly and attentive service . A really good meal! Would recommend eating here.

As frequent visitors we always find the staff very friendly and accommodating. The gardens are beautiful. It's lovely to see the development encompassing wildlife. We recently had afternoon tea here and it was one of the best we've ever had. Congratulations to the pastry chef. We will be back soon

I booked this as a special birthday meal for my partner. We booked for 8:30pm on a Friday night. It was the only slot available. So we knew it was going to be busy. We were very much looking forward to this. Having read the reviews it really did have potential. Unfortunately it was a real disappointment. When we arrived the restaurant had only three occupied tables, so we were very surprised. The atmosphere was non existent. We could only hear the conversation of the group of gentlemen in the front of the window. We ordered two soft drinks, and some sparking water. The water was poured. It was still. The starters arrived and were expensive, tasteless and massively lacked flavour. Prawn cocktail was bland, and terribly sad looking. We ordered pork belly, and a steak med/rare. No steak knives were given. The pork was massively over cooked, the steak was unseasoned and well done. We returned the steak and were offered a replacement. It came with a bowl of what looked like lettuce. My partner politely asked what it was, we really didn’t have a clue. The waitress confirmed it was a side salad. Wow! The second sreak came up rare, unfortunately this was also tasteless and unseasoned, and what looked like the same fries from the first steak. The waitress was so kind and helpful. We felt embarrassed for her. She apologised and we left the food and asked for the bill. When the waitress returned. She’d removed my partners steaks and only charged us for the pork. I was too embarrassed not to pay, but we did, albeit without the steaks. Such a waste. Maybe the chef was ill that night? We aren’t fussy, or awkward but this was lacking in everything.

Dropped in to have meal found a nice table in the garden only to be told could not have any food as fully booked. Don't take dropins

Despite its beautiful location, this pub has had a very poor reputation, and numerous poor reviews in the past. However, it now under new management and it is a totally different experience. I ate an evening meal in Henry's (the pub side). The staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is tasty and well prepared. You can book a table online, and it is dog friendly as well. A really refreshing change to past visits, and a very enjoyable evening.

After playing laser tag for a colleagues leaving do, 17 of us spontaneously decided to try our luck at this pub for lunch today. Not only was the (assumed) manager very polite, he managed to seat us all together in the marquee, and not only was our food served in record time - it was delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area
