The best restaurants in Lymington Town New Forest South East

Excellent iced coffee, friendly, accommodating service and a delicious meatball panini. Very reasonably priced. Will visit again.

It might look like a cafe on the outside (if you can find it), but there’s a proper restaurant with a proper kitchen on the inside. A small but varied menu, good portions and tasty. The chef was out among the guests, taking orders and asking if all ok. Well placed confidence. We would definitely return.

We visit this ice cream parlour every time we go to Lymington. First class service, reasonably priced, delicious ice cream and always a friendly welcome. Keep up the good work.

Visited for a quick coffee on 6.11.24. Excellent coffee best we’ve had in a very long time. Surroundings very clean. Would thoroughly recommend. Will be back again.

Not sure what has happened to this place! The food always used to be good, had some lovely evenings here, but the last two trips have been poor. Today's 'smash burgers' were woeful, like an Iceland burger that they'd tried to mush into the hot top. The beers and events are still great but the food could be, and has to be, better!

First time visiting for myself, my family have been here many times before. The interior has had a refresh and looks welcoming. Menus changing weekly based on seasonal produce. Really good experience and helpful/well informed servers. Really interesting dining experience having an ever changing set and tasting menu. Something for everyone. Will certainly be coming back for more!

This pub served a fantastic meal recently and the waitress was really helpful and friendly. We all enjoyed our food and there was plenty of choice too.

The Cellar Tasting House & Wine Merchant in Lymington is a hidden gem that offers a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The knowledgeable team, led by owner, provides personalised recommendations that cater to individual tastes and budgets. The establishment maximises its space with a well-curated shop, a welcoming bar, intimate upstairs nooks, and a charming terrace. The extensive selection of wines and gins is impressive, making it one of the few bars worth travelling over an hour to experience. For serious wine and spirit enthusiasts, this is a must-visit destination.

Amazing food, fantastic service , excellent situation - terrific value for money - what’s not to like! A really great lunch with friends

Had an excellent lunch and here today with friends..melt in your mouth beef, great Yorkshire's and sides.....sticky toffee pudding and souffles to follow. Great ambience, food was superb, and all of the front of house team was upbeat, knowledgeable and suitably attentive. Thank you.

We'd heard about The Tinker's Granddaughter through a friend and so decided to try it out for ourselves and booked the Sunday Roast Club - we were not disappointed! The service was friendly and welcoming and the food was incredible. It was our first time trying Juicy Marbles steaks and I have to say, they were the best meat substitute I've ever had. The only downside was that the room was quite crammed. We ordered first and by the time our food was served, people were still queuing right behind us to order theirs - which I understand is unavoidable but did hinder the experience a bit. I also treated myself to a tiramisu to take away, which again was the best plant based tiramisu I've had. We loved the experience so much that we've already booked again for June!

Best sausage rolls I have ever had would highly recommend although you can be tightly packed with other customers

This is authentic and delicious pasta and dessert! Best in town indeed

Always a treat to have to have an evening here and never disapppoints, which is why I keep going back. Peter's food is delicious and beautifully presented and Nicola and her front of house team always give a very warm welcome and excellent service. This restaurant has been in business for many years and there's a very good obvious reason for that .Would highly recommend

We liked the look of this restaurant while out looking for something to eat.The staff were friendly, good service and a good vibe.Loved the food choice and different items that we don't normally get in many Indian restaurants. Our meal was absolutely delicious and plentiful, we didn't leave a thing,unfortunately we felt let down by the astronomical price of two large lime and sodas;£11.40. So we would not visit again as we felt ripped off.
