The best restaurants in Ringwood South New Forest South East

Always great coffee in here ! Have to say Lewis makes the best coffee ever! Courtney is so lovely and friendly, will definitely be back soon.

The pub has a lovely setting, and as it was nice day we had intended to have lunch outside (Thursday October 24th). To see so few customers outside and only one other vehicle in the car park was a little surprising, but my husband went into the bar to order a couple of lamb burgers. Unfortunately, the menu had changed since our last visit, so he emerged with drinks and the new menu. He returned to order a few minutes later to find NO staff there. Two ladies were waiting and when the bar person reappeared, the bar person either started, or was still struggling, to deal with the duo who were querying their bill (they had been overcharged). Eventually a supervisor came and told the inexperienced bar person to cancel the transaction and start again; The supervisor then disappeared, rather than take over, or take my order. The two ladies then started to query another bill; Meanwhile a couple with two small dogs came in and the dogs were screeching, (and yes, I do mean screeching!) Our dog incidentally was happily sitting outside, along with a couple of others who were also not causing a nuisance. After waiting so long to be served, and with no end, or any other staff in sight, and the horrid racket from the two dogs,my husband decided it really wasn't worth the effort. We finished our drinks back in the garden and left. We are not impatient people, and I do not see any point in emailing you, as that is what you seem to suggest to others who have had underwhelming experiences. Instead, may I suggest that you train your staff to remedy problems more speedily, have someone nearby they can quickly refer to, and who can take over, or just have more staff available during prime hours, like lunchtimes to take orders. What should have been a nice lunch out on a nice day was anything but. The lack of customers did surprise us, but given the service we received, perhaps it shouldn’t have.

Friendly staff and a real traditional pub atmosphere.

We called in for a quick snack. The place had the usual things. The sausage roll was nice although perhaps too much pastry.

Great coffee, cakes and staff!! There are many nice places to have a coffee in Ringwood, but this is the best, always friendly and welcoming.

Lovely atmosphere, quick service and tremendous coffee art from the barista, Dan was his name I believe. Will most definitely visit again!

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.

We were in Ringwood which we are not familiar with and were looking for somewhere to have lunch. We came across Arboro Lounge by chance and thought we would try it. It was a surprise when we went in as it was nothing like we expected! We received a warm welcome and as downstairs was full up we were able to find a table upstairs. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed the quirky relaxed atmosphere.

Burger was over cooked rank kebab didn’t come with chilli or peppers when I asked for them never again he’ll no

My wife was charged £6 for one round of cheap supermarket bread toasted.Hmm.!! My sausage bap was average at best. We had to endure sitting close to 3 loud/sweary blokes, who were old enough to know better than to swear in front of women. You can rip us off once, you won't get another chance

Well where do I start. There is a reason why we never eat from this take away and tonight has just reinforced this. We would normally order from the 'other' take away in the area but due to it being very busy we thought we would give new city another try. Wrong move.. The food was hideously dry and stone cold The portion sizes have also shrunk considerably and if I was 10 years old it would have sufficed. Their only saving grace is that they gave me a full refund without any issues. I would highly recommend NOT to order from here.....Ever....

Absolutely amazing atmosphere in the pub and restaurant the decorations were perfect, the beer tasted like nectar of the gods

Just take out on Saturday evening. Kung pao should really come with rice included. The duck was very dry and not worth 11.50£ for 1/4. Not terrible not great.

I wanted to try the New City as I have never been there before, and always use Chinatown opposite. I was disappointed with the food. The pancake rolls were greasy, the pork dish was packed out with vegetables, as was the hot and sour soup. On a positive note the crackers and the rice were good. I will carry on with Chinatown as the food is much better quality.

Great service, great coffee, decent food, and all reasonably priced. The cafe itself was clean, and there was hardly any queue at all.
