The best restaurants in Ringwood South New Forest South East

Great little find, the food was excellent and the staff very friendly and knowledgeable a thoroughly good evening with excellent wines and service.

Can’t say enough about this place, James is a great guy, genuine as they come, food was fantastic, ordered the shredded chicken and a few sausages & cheesy chips, potion size was great, could t eat it all but I sure did have a good go! Service was brilliant, think Iv just found my new local! All the best James & his team.

Very welcoming and friendly cafe. Fry up was on point 👌🏼

Found this bakery tucked away. Friendly staff, asked for recommendation on food. Food very tasty, coffee fantastic.

Enjoyed an excellent meal last night. The service was impeccable from our friendly welcome and throughout the evening. The staff were attentive and helpful and the quality of the food superb. Great atmosphere and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Lovely lady who tries her best to keep everyone happy - even when working solo! Order ahead to make life easier on you and her! Nice place to hangout with a cuppa too

I really enjoyed my mussels and pasta! A bit of feedback would be to serve the mozzarella with better tomatoes - even in winter in the U.K. one can get ones with some flavour ☺️

We go here quite a lot and always the coffee is the best. All the staff are friendly and engage with you- the owner Samir is a very good host and always has a nice greeting for you. Quite a selection of home made cakes and sandwiches etc and a very large offering of different coffees. This is the best cafe you will find anywhere.

Just enjoyed afternoon tea here and it was amazing. The food was wonderful and the service was exceptional the two lads who looked after us were so friendly and attentive. Can’t recommend it highly enough, we will be back, not for a fews days though because we are so full.

Visited with our 2 year old son and we all enjoyed every dish we ordered. My favourite was the Korean Chicken burger and poutine!

Lovely but slightly pricey. Sadly, closing due to owner/chefs health.

Had a fantastic evening here on Tuesday with a group of us celebrating 2 birthdays - couldn’t fault a single thing if I tried. Definitely the best restaurant locally. The food, atmosphere (even on a week night) and friendly attentive service are second to none. If you haven’t tried it yet then you’re missing out!

Lovely fish and chips. Always served with a friendly smile. You are always made to feel welcome.

This has got to be the worst meal we've had for a long time. 8 of us went out for my husbands birthday. We booked The Star as had been many times before and had lovely meals, great service and great atmosphere. However, last week we arrived and ordered several starters and mains. Starters, 2 out of 6 were edible. Calamari was too rubbery to even cut, let alone chew.Prawn toast was greasy and oozed with oil. Mains. Well 8 came out. Both Pad Thai's were inedible as they had a burnt taste, dry and not what we normally would expect (especially as this is usually a regular family favouite here). Crispy chilli beef was really difficult to eat as very hard. Sweet and sour chicken arrived in a bowl with huge lumps of onion and carrots with 3 small chunks of chicken in a watery sauce. Massanan curry was probably the most disappointing as this is a favourite. Again massive chunks of onion, whole potatoes, with some chicken in, again, a watery sauce. We had every intention to discuss our disappointment with staff but no one arrived at our table after a very unfriendly staff member placed the last dish down. When we decided enough was enough and wanted to leave we said that we were disappointed with the whole meal and would not be prepared to pay for the whole meal but would obviously pay for what we could eat. The land lady came out to question this, who was very curt and confrontational. She agreed to take of just 2 dishes and presented us with the revised bill which we disappointedly paid as it was a birthday meal and didn't want to cause a sceen. On our arrival home we found a meal that we hadn't even ordered had been added. Also be advised that The Star charge more for a pint of soda than a pint of beer. So our 2 childrens drinks cost more than our alcoholic drink. Staff were so miserable and not the usual bunch of friendly faces. Not entirely sure what's gone on here, but not what we've experienced in the past.
