The best restaurants in Ringwood South New Forest South East

Delicious lunch and very friendly service. I went for the shakshuka which was spicy and flavourful. I would return. Thank you!

I highly recommend this pub! Lucy and her team (Amy & Jess) are very welcoming and create a go to atmosphere with locals and first time visitors alike. Dog friendly, Pool, Darts & Jukebox, what more could one want! Clean tasting draught lager/beer (unlike other pubs in the area)

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.

Wanted to look at a new book release. Thought be nice to combine a trip into Ringwood with a coffee/cake in the book shop. Busy inside, found a seat. Looked at cakes(no interest/interaction) with the team serving. Drinks arrived and shortly after the cakes. What a disappointment . Cake was dry and virtually inedible. Table uncleared/uncleaned from previous occupants. No eye contact or conversation when drinks were brought to the table. Dead vibe. Won’t be repeating either for refreshments or book purchases.

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.

Great place and well kitted out for a lunch. Food is middle of the road. Had a salad that was described as grilled herb chicken and bacon but it was actually lemon chicken with a ceaser sauce so not that nice . The menu definitely needs help .

Dude on the phone was a legend. The chunky chilli sauce from this place is next level. They even deliver to the local fishing lakes as well. Top notch food.

Great Garden, amazing views of the new forest. A few options snacks options for horses and dogs as well! Will definitely be back.

Fantastic, especially when Lithium are playing live!

I always come here now, previously across the Rd. No 63 really appreciate the food and service especially the noodle, has that smoked flavor. Curries, sweet sour anything, I always find good and price wise fair.

Great meal, great service, will come again

Delicious food! I ordered online and it was ready when we arrived, piping hot. All the dishes we had were lovely and it was reasonably priced. Will visit again when we are in the area.

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.
