The best restaurants in New Forest South East

Large pub with plenty of atmosphere. Very busy on our un booked visit but staff found us a table. Staff were excellent and attentive. Food was very good and reasonable portions. Wide range of drinks available. A place to have a very good evening

Milton Green Lees Best Chinese takeaway ever.

So ordered a make Ur own pizza as part of a deal and after waiting a normal time for it to be delivered there were toppings missing, when I called up the young lad said yeh he forgot to put it on and was very apologetic and asked if I wanted another pizza sent out or credit on my account, I thought well that's all good as I already have a pizza and didn't want to ruin someone's day so just credit my account and he asked for my number and that was that. I've just tried to order a pizza again and called up and apparently they didn't even know about the issue and there is no credit on my account and I have to wait till a manager will speak to me. I'm not happy with the inconvenience this has caused me and that the guy in the first place tried to pull a fast one even after I feel I was very understanding, don't think il order here again.

Friendly staff and a real traditional pub atmosphere.

Spent an enjoyable 3 nights at Balmer Lawn but not sure we'd stay again. Hotel is quite local to us and a place we are familiar with and in lovely location in heart of New Forest. Staff were very friendly and attentive, breakfast was good with plenty of choice, dinner in the restaurant was very good, use of local produce always a bonus. However, we thought our room on the top floor was very drab and certainly not what we would expect from a 4* hotel. It was also noisy as above the outside terrace area and facing the very busy through road. Housekeeping was very good but there was no mini fridge to keep drinks cold or safe for valuables. The bathroom was small and having to climb into a bath to shower is not acceptable or safe. I did raise the issue of poor quality pillows and having a nice fluffy pillow would add to sleep quality.

Just had the most disgusting meal I have ever had, bland tasteless crap. Asked for no prawns, got prawns. Never again

Nice locally sourced produce and friendly staff. There is a choice between the main menu and the classic menu which you don't see on the website, the pies are amazing.

The lady taking the order was nice. The food came out quickly and was good. As an American visiting the UK for the 4th time I was used to my fiancé getting us Chinese at a different place, but it was closed for their holiday. So I don't have alot to compare to as Chinese is a bit different in the US. The other place my fiancé goes I do like a little better. But this place was still good. The atmosphere is hard to rate as it is not an eat in place. But it is very stark and sterile on the inside. Not much decoration or color.

Found this cafe on a wet Saturday afternoon. Staff were quick to organise a table big enough to seat the five of us. Although the menu and ordering system was not clear in the cafe, we did manage to order sandwiches, panini, sausage rolls and...

Refused to serve despite serving and taking orders from large disorganised group in front of me. Well before end of lunch and despite standing less than 1metre from the food choice. I am diabetic and needed to eat urgently. Made to feel a nuisance. Will not be returning.

We had our wedding here on the 28 August 2024. What a fabulous day from start to finish. Everything was perfect. Tom and his staff were very professional but friendly and accommodating. All our guest guests thought it was the perfect venue very relaxed. Even the weather was perfect and we were able to have our ceremony outside, but even if we needed to be inside the venue would still have been perfect. A really big thank you to Tom and his team for making our special day perfect.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was not only delicious but the service was also top-notch. The team went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. I was particularly impressed by how they handled dietary requirements — they catered effortlessly to the allergy. It was clear they genuinely cared about accommodating all guests. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a memorable meal with thoughtful service!

Nice new Indian restaurant by the train station in new Milton. Food was very good, and at the time is was bring your own alcohol as they just opened. Not sure if still the case.

Friendly hosts and staff. Food was well prepared and presented, and without delay. A clean environment inside, a nice large garden area outside. A pleasant experience.

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.
