The best restaurants in Ringwood South New Forest South East

New to the area & only came in for a quick takeaway coffee but loved the atmosphere it felt so cosy! Great selection of drinks & will be back to try a few more in future

Lovely pub next to river ( but close to busy road bypass). Good beer and food. Staff friendly.

We are on vacation from Canada and spent several days in Ringwood. During that time, we ate twice at The Curry Garden and absolutely loved it! The food was amazing and the staff was so helpful and friendly, especially Kelly! We highly recommend!!

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere very cosy and authentic. Varied menu and the food is fresh and pleasing to the eye. The service isn’t fast but it is waiting for, would highly recommended.

A hidden gem. The food is consistently fresh and packed with flavor, and the staff always bring warmth to the takeaway experience

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.

Lovely lunch of toasted sandwiches, with tea and espresso. Gluten Free options very good, and included a GF biscuit with the tea.

If I could give it minus stars I would food was undercooked, the owner was horrible and rude, dirty and wouldn’t recommend. DONT GO THERE !

I had the pleasure of eating at Prezzo with my family. We were all very impressed with the service, the food, and the atmosphere. The restaurant was very busy, but the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our waiter, Lorraine, was very knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. She also made sure that our drinks were always full and that our food was cooked to perfection. The food was absolutely delicious. We all ordered different dishes, and each one was better than the last. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauces were flavorful, and the desserts were decadent. The atmosphere at Prezzo is warm and inviting. The restaurant is decorated in a rustic Italian style, and the lighting is dim and romantic. We felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout our meal. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Prezzo. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal with excellent service. Special mention to Lorraine for handling us with such grace and professionalism. They made our visit truly special.

Lewis was amazing, great service thank you. I only went in for a Coffee and a cake, very friendly and wanted to chat which is always a nice thing.

BEST place in Ringwood for an all day Breakfast. Also good and helpful staff. Thank you.

Very disappointing after visiting the charminster restaurant we thought we’d visit the exclusive in Ringwood. Nothing exclusive about this eatery, being shown to our table we realised he’d sat us next to what I think was the owners wife and 3 children and an another women. Nothing wrong with that apart from they wasn’t eating and seemed to be eating sweets which then went all over the floor!! At this point the women was shouting at the child.. very noisy to say the least. As for the food we ordered two platters to come out as main, the meze platter came out first followed by the meat platter 7 minutes after. So we couldn’t eat together, lamb was tough and ribs didn’t have much meat on them. Positive the chicken was very tasty. Had one drink waiter never asked us again. I’d say this is more of a glorified Cafe than a restaurant. Sorry will not be coming back.

Very traditional Italian restaurant sadly surrounded by two larger more modern venues. However the charm of a quaint little place with a simple but extensive menu of pizza and pasta did not go unnoticed. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating as was the chef. Will be ordering from here again soon!

Delicious food, excellent service and a great interior. Always love to come through to Royal Daawat!

Went in for later breakfast, on arrival not greeted just sat down and had to go and ask to be served as waited for this 2 people just ignored us and casual chatting on their phones around the corner. Once served the food was ok not great.. the service was slow and with attitude and them laughing and swearing.. for price pay would be nice to be greeted.
