One of the fun things about travelling around, (often in your own 'backwoods'), is when you unexpectantly stumble across a small eaterie or coffee house that you did not know existed... as was just the case for me recently with Forest Edge Roasting in Lyndhurst. I spend quite a bit of time in The New Forest and especially in Lyndhurst, (the de facto capital of the Forest in fact), for one reason or another and am quite well acquainted with the High Street coffee chains & independent outlets in the main part of the high street..but I don't normally have reason to head further up the village past the terrific Lyndhurst Antiques sited on the corner. However last week whilst visiting a couple of friends who trade in the Antique Centre somebody mentioned Forest Edge Roasting, just around the corner..so offering to buy them hot drinks, I popped around the corner..just 3 or 4 doors up... and there indeed it was. Not sure if I had opened the right door, (it looking for all the world like an entrance to one of the flats above), a good-looking, well laid out & spotlessly clean, coffee bar met my eyes, with several comfy-looking nooks in which to sit... and in the far corner, a small wee business-like area where, I was told, the owner actually roasts the coffee beans..so you can't get much fresher than that!. The delightful young lady behind the counter was very welcoming and appeared to know well the specific coffee order that I was putting in for my two friends..and for me, well I opted for a hot chocolate. Probably a sacrilegious thing for me to order in a 'proper' coffee house', but she was very happy with my order and so, thankfully, I got my 'rare treat'! On a cold morning, I am so glad I stuck to my guns and ordered my favoured hot-choccie as it was just superb..and was even more pleased that I ordered their large option..for though in my experience of ordering take-out drinks, hot chocolate is an easy drink to get wrong: too thick or too thin, too sweet or not sweet enough..luke- warm or mouth-burningly hot....however Forest Edge Roasting's offering was spot-on and just mouth-watering.... ....and my two pals also gave the thumbs up to their coffees as well! So if you ever find yourself down in Lyndhurst, (you may have popped in to view the famous Ferrari garage down at the bottom of the village or you are perhaps heading up to see Alice Liddell's grave...the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's 'Alice Through The Looking Glass'... in the Churchyard of St Michael & All Angels Church at the top end of Lyndhurst), make sure you find time to you pop into Forest Edge Roasting, ( at the top of the village on the right-hand side), for cuppa..either in or as a take-out..! Here you'll get a wonderful welcome, a cracking hot drink...and you'll also be helping another hard-working, small local business compete with the major high street chains in these times of tough trading! 👍

This is a cycle shop with a small but great cafe serving delicious cakes and light lunches to eat in or take out. A terrific change from all the chain coffee shops. Friendly service and a nice peaceful ambience.

We chose this restaurant as it was recommended to us. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who took us to our table and took our order. The starter arrived which was lovely, however we hadnt finished our starter when they brought our main dish out and we felt we were being a little rushed before they took orders for a large party that came in!! Once we had eaten our main we then waited a long time before we were offered dessert.

I'm reviewing the meal we had there today, we weren't staying over. Our group of six meets every 3 months or so, somewhere in the New Forest area and have tried many of the food serving pubs, but today The New Forest Inn moved into first place. Much of the food on the menu is made on the premises and cooked freshly seemingly, so don't expect mega-quick service. The wait is worth it though, the slices of truly meaty & deep-filled pie were awesome and the veg medley accompanying was beautiful. Even better, we got an extra jug of gravy, a necessity with pie and veg (chips were awesome too). Just be aware these are big portions on big plates... lovely. The puds had equally generous portions and again were made on the premises and were gorgeous. Prices were a bit on the high side, but as you get what you pay for, I have to say that this is great value for money. Sorry, no pictures, I ate it all before I thought about it! Second visit, six scraped-clean places, what else do I have to say? Beautiful food.
