The best restaurants in New Forest South East

Staff were inattentive, slovenly and ill-kempt. Service was slow and food in general of average quality. It was much better 2 years ago.

Quick and attentive service. We had cake and tea which was really nice. However, prices were at the high end. Good stopping off point in New forest.

We were a party of 32 for lunch, all pre ordered. I couldn’t fault the serving staff but the kitchen staff clearly couldn’t manage. The food was bland and over cooked. Garnishes were limp and passed their best. I asked for more red wine jus for my roast chicken and the chef sent out a beef gravy. If I had to sum up our experience I would say that there was no trained chef in the kitchen, just kitchen staff who had no idea how to cook.

Great food both quality and selection. Cheese board to die for (sooo reasonably priced at less than the supplement other restaurants add for cheese on a set menu). Amazing wine list - reasonably priced, and with some gems not even listed. So many dishes to try when we get the chance. My only criticism would be the lack of soft furnishings - it was really full when we were there, and quite difficult to hear with nothing to deaden the sound. Great value for money.

Gluten free available at all times from separate frier and always made fresh! Even a GF battered sausage!

Happened upon this place by chance and very glad we did ... great breakfast at a reasonable price along with very friendly and efficient service. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Come here for lunch. Great food and quiet and comfortable atmosphere

Delicious food …. Great service & at a very affordable price …. Highly recommended and I will be back soon

Had an excellent Sunday lunch. I had pork belly which was lovely and my husband and father in law had the beef which was beautifully cooked. There were plenty of vegetables to accompany the meal. I'm gluten free and there were numerous delicious options on the dessert menu to choose from. There was a nice fire going and a band singing in the back ground so the atmosphere was very nice. It was our first visit and definitely won't be our last. The only slight negative, but just being picky really, they could have done with another member of staff as the girls serving us were really rushed off their feet and just about coped. Despite that they were pleasant and friendly given that they were really under pressure.

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

Leaving this review on Tripadvisor as I had already left a review on Resdiary shortly after our visit but haven’t had a response from Resdiary so not sure what the purpose of that is. The quality of the food was generally good. However, not all the food was served at the same time ( we had a long wait for a missing beef), and the food could have been hotter. The sprouts were extremely hard ( we like them al dente but these were extreme), one portion of apple crumble was sent back to be warmed up. One glass of wine was forgotten - when it did finally arrive it was deleted from the bill. This was a family lunch get together before Christmas of 8 adults and on the whole we had a good experience but the food and service could have been better.

Honestly food was amazing, can’t fault that at all! But the customer service was appalling, we turned up to an empty restaurant at 5pm asking for a table for 2, and was initially told there were no tables. After saying we wanted to eat right away, we got a table and sat down. Starters were lovely, mains came and I ordered a burger with chips, and it felt like I was asking for the world when I requested some Mayo. They didn’t check whether the food was okay half way through, when we asked for the bill, they came over to collect the mains and didn’t ask whether we enjoyed the food. Service charge added straight away, so we removed as I didn’t feel it was deserved. Weird atmosphere, but couldn’t fault the food!

My Husband and l went for dinner, and it was Fabulous!!! Starters and main course were amazing!!! Highly recommend this great restaurant!!!

One of My Favourite Places to Visit This hotels restaurant is a true gem! The beautiful surroundings create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, making every visit enjoyable. The food is consistently delicious, and I highly recommend the Sunday roast—it's simply outstanding. The staff are always friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Plenty of parking is available, which is a great convenience. Definitely worth a visit!

I come here multiple times a week I am your favourite customer 100% This is the best place in the city for Pizzas Chicken and Kebabs... Why need to go anywhere else, when its right on your doorstep. I called up for a special request because at times i can be a tricky customer, but this did not faze them. Met the needs many times over. Do not sleep on this place best about!!
