The best restaurants in Lymington Town New Forest South East

You cannot open to the public when the temperature is SO low that the customers were all despairing and discussing their discomfort, rather than discussing the dining experience. Despite being told that the heating and convection fire were 'on', on approaching the heater we felt nothing. Food was satisfactory: quality ingredients no doubt but main course portions were small. £120 bought the worst dining experience I've had in over 50years of visiting recommended independent restaurants I AM sad to say, but I doubt that last night's valentine's meal at The Lanes warmed anyone's hearts.

My husband and I were extremely impressed after stopping by for dinner, food was fantastic and staff very friendly

Lovely cosy pub with beautiful rooms and a spacious bathroom. The breakfast and dinner were delicious and the service excellent. The location was great for a morning walk past the marina, we didn't use the car all weekend!

Very tasty cakes and delicious coffee

No idea about G.F and D.F. Served a starter as G.F. but was deep fried in there only main fryer that fries all non G.F. restaurant foods. Only one main offered, dressed crab. Which was mixed with some sort of bulk filler! The salad had a bitter vinigar dressing! non G.F. 3 other friends had an ok meal. Of chicken and skate wing.

Super little cafe with utterly delicious baked breads, pastries and buns. The sourdough loaves on their rustic shelves look & smell wonderful! Enjoyed a perfectly brewed coffee from their own roastery and a vanilla cream bun which was heavenly. The staff were so happy and friendly, I have to mention them all so thank you Harriet, Charlotte & Izzy - what a lovely little place!

Lovely staff that made us feel like locals. Food was amazingly good and the portion sizes were fantastic for hungry walkers. If you have the same experience as us, you will not be disappointed!!

Had a lovely experience in Costa today i was served by a young girl called Mia and honestly she was fabulous, both my coffee and toastie was very prompt I was very very happy with the service. Only down side of my experience it seems like the older chap that works there I believe he is called james or jason was quite rude and abrupt with the other staff seems like he had a superiority complex the other staff seemed to ignore him like they were used to it

Bar staff took my ID out the back, bent it in half, and then said the UV was wrong. They said my mate's ID also had the wrong UV. They then refused to return both, before then saying they could return my mate's ID but not mine because mine was "more fake"????? Refused to return the ID until I had police on the phone telling them they had to return it as otherwise it was theft. Horrible atmosphere and snarky comments from fat old men at the bar claiming we were "scam artists". Avoid.

Had the breakfast & baked beans were cold, but aren't they always. My first coffee, the machine told me it was rinsing & another customer commented on his coffee which he got from same machine, but overall a good experience & would come back if I'm this way.

Experienced a lovely meal and very good service. Food generally is quite expensive but we were lucky enough to get a discount voucher and food was very good and excellent choice of food.

I popped in for some food on my break from work. There was only one customer in front of me. I stood for 10 minutes without once being acknowledged whilst the guy behind the counter messed about with the till. I eventually gave up and walked out. It seems the only two members of staff who were on duty have no idea what they are doing, and are totally lacking in customer service. I shall not be returning.

Great food, service and atmosphere

Travelled here on the bus specially for this Chinese as Google said it was open. Nope shut until April 2025. Only found out with note on the window. So lazy why not update your Google listing. Don't worry....I have done it for you so other potential customers don't waste their time.

Staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, especially Eddie. The food was brilliant, was very impressed. Would definitely return!
