The best restaurants in Forest North West New Forest South East

Decided on the Buddha bowl. Excellent choice . Lots of interesting ingredients. Highly recommend. Great service from staff and the location/parking great. Well worth a visit 😊😊

The Potting Shed in Hyde… well. Where to begin. This was our third time eating here and as per the first two occasions the food was exquisite! Some context… We live in Essex and have had a couple of trips to the New Forest for weekends away, on these trips we have traveled to The Potting Shed for breakfast on one of the days and the food and atmosphere has always been perfect. There is some magic in the herby mushrooms we are sure of it! Our latest visit to the New Forest was not a weekend away, it was a one day trip centred around having breakfast at The Potting Shed… that is correct folks… we drove 2 hours and 38 minutes to go and have breakfast at The Potting Shed and it was, as always, sublime! Did I mention the mushrooms? Eat here and you will not be disappointed. We heartily recommend The Potting Shed and driving over 2 hours to eat here testifies to that. We will be back!

Amazing refurb with excellent outdoor seating areas. Fabulous chef who makes the most delicious food (especially the beer battered fish and chips). Dog friendly eating area and lovely, clean toilets!

The carvery was lovely, massive portion of beef. It was a bit tough so 4 stars

Very Disappointing! We’ve eaten here before and had a lovely meal but last night was not satisfactory. The lamb in the passando was tough and chewy, the onion bhajis were undercooked and the nan bread came out cold. When paying over £100 for 2 x adults and 2x kids when the quality is poor leaves a very sour taste in your mouth!

Characterful place in the New Forest , not many places offer several roaming donkeys lazily checking you out from across the fence in the beer garden. Relaxing place for a Sunday afternoon drink

Very friendly, comfortable and great place to arrive after a ramble

Great afternoon spent with family. Food was excellent and customer service cut above other restaurants. Donna was full of beams 😀 lovely lady. Will return

A lovely pub with an extensive menu set in beautiful grounds.

I had venison ragu, the parpadelle pasta was whiter than Casper, the mince was like it was frozen with tiny frozen carrots in between don’t think any seasoning or any type of tomato sauce mixed in whatsoever, beef burger was ok and chicken burger looked good by the fries were stone cold. Kids roast dinner, half a Yorkshire pudding - seriously who cuts a Yorkie in half talk about tight for the price!

Lovely pub, friendly staff and fantastic food.

We actually had a few trips here, for a casual drink, then lunch and a Sunday dinner. We couldn't fault the food and friendly welcome. New owners, Maddie and Billy made sure we were happy with food, accommodating a very fussy husband. Service from them and staff was lovely. Thai night food was amazing, thankyou Yada. And Sunday dinner, WoW! I have never seen so much food, and gorgeous.

Love Macy’s it is what it says on the tin

Staff do not manage Disabled Parking. None of vehicles parked displayed a Blue Badge on the occasion when I recently stopped by. The bonnets were cold to touch! Observation of the movements of diners eliminated customers as the vehicle owners. The only other explanation is that staff were using the allocated Disabled spaces for their use. When questioned the restaurant Manager's response was, "I can do nothing about it!". McDonald's staff are responsible for the whole site, including parking. Concern and support for registered Disabled, by McDonald's at Picket Post, is lacking. ignoring supervision and the correct use of Disabled parking. (Sadly it is also very clear that reviews are not read and responded to!).
