The best restaurants in New Forest South East

We (two couples) visited this wonderful gem at lunchtime on 27th August. Our friends live in the area and had visited this fish and chip shop before and had highly recommended the quality of the food. All four of us ordered fish and chips and we all agreed that the quality of the meals was first class together with the service that we received. The proprietor, who performs the cooking, was very pleasant, amenable and friendly. We would certainly make a point of visiting this establishment whenever we are next in the area.

I’m a local resident and this lovely kiosk set in Fordingbridge Park is the very best. Hot and cold drinks, freshly prepared food all served with a smile by wonderful staff. Uses local produce which really does add to this little gem….try it….you’ll not be disappointed.

What a find! Located a couple of doors down from the Crown Hotel on the same side of the street in Lyndhurst. Hubby the coffee snob loved the coffee, and they grind their own here too. Personally a tea drinker, yet a lovely cuppa and a great naughty cake choice. Lovely lady behind the counter, presumed the owner, very chatty and friendly. Great place, highly recommended.

Just popped in for a coffee and a break from the monotony of lockdown - great coffee and mind blowing flapjack!!

Popped in for a quick coffee whilst visiting Lymington Saturday Market. Without doubt best coffee in Lymington and the best Flat white that I've had in a small coffee shop for a long time! Well done guys

Friendly staff, appeared clean and hygienic, reasonable prices too. High chairs available and customer toilet. Limited vegetarian and vegan options but this is not uncommon for small businesses. Please support local and go to Pats Cafe!

just had the BEST southern fried chicken burger I have ever had, so I thought it deserved a review. Found The Food Hut Takeaway on Google whilst we’re staying in Sway for the weekend and quite honestly i’d go out of my way to go here again just for the food! Delivery was super quick too and food was piping hot 👌🏻

We moved to Burley recently and have really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at the WB. They make a really valuable contribution to the community and have some fun events (e.g. quizzes, discos, book clubs, etc). The staff and volunteers work really hard to make everyone feel welcome. Also offers the cheapest drinks in Burley!

I love visiting this cafe, great coffee and good selection of food. I usually have breakfast and there often families and couples having lunch too. Phillips and his staff work really hard and are very friendly. Highly recommended! Thanks Phillips for running a such brilliant place

we had fish and chips for 2 (1 cod, 1 plaice). Everything was tasty, but in particular the size, taste, texture and batter of the plaice were so good. Order and pay online, and collect. Such good value, half the price of London. A real gem.

Having had a ploughman's at another pub in the week, this was a breath of fresh air. Served on a sensible sized plate with a good choice of main items such as Pork Pie, Scotch egg, Cheeses but it was enhanced by a choice of bread, Branston or local chutney, silver onions, gherkins and a sensible sized piece of butter. Everything had so much flavour and was good value for money. A+ and will visit again.

Delicious ice cream. Flavours change frequently so always something new to try. Soft serve (whippy) is best we have ever had. Love the little edible pots too. All ice cream prepared on site. What's not to love?!
