The best restaurants in New Forest South East

Absolutely awful food. Stone cold, no taste, disgusting. Portion sizes are small and food totally inedible. Avoid at all costs!!

The food is great. I've not been displeased to date. And that salsa.... let me tell you!!! It's Amazing!!!! The drinks compliment as well! Service is respectable and continuous. 1 of my go to's now.

Best Chinese food I’ve had in years!

Just about to change management but we've met the new owner. He guarantees lots of seafood. As he says " he's from Sicily so should know how to cook seafood". Looking forward to it.

food was cold and took an hour to arrive

Once again a very warm welcome from staf and locals

Always on time and always delicious!

Popped in for a pint and stayed all night. Live band on, good beer and great atmosphere all hosted by the wonderful landlady Yvonne and her partner Alan, thanks guys, cracking night.

We had a family Sunday for a table of 11. Never been before and a beautiful looking place. Arrived 10 minutes early but seated straight away which was great as we had young hungry children with us. This unfortunately was where the good service ended. Sat quite near the waitress station and till we were in prime vision for multiple members of staff (of which there were a lot) and they walked past our table regularly. However we had to ask at every stage… please can we order drinks, please can we order food, please can we look at the dessert menu etc… Even when we asked for the dessert menu they didn’t clear the plates which had sat empty for some time. We didn’t feel particularly wanted and more like an inconvenience. The food itself was ok, never one for high hopes for a mass produced roast I was pleasantly surprised although for the price it’s quite small and ideally would’ve been slightly warmer. Desserts again were not particularly hot but ok. Having not been asked if we wanted more drinks than the original first order we sat with empty glasses for some time. Leisurely is good, but attentive it wasn’t which was a real shame. Not sure we’d rush back.

Absolutely first class pub and stunningly good food. Attention to detail and customer service is exemplary. Will be back again ASAP

Really disappointing - and very expensive for the quality they are serving up. We came here after reading good reviews, when we arrived the car park was quite empty on a Saturday night and we should have taken that as a sign. The food is very expensive and incredibly overpriced for the quality - dry and not fresh fish & greasy chips. We left almost a £100 lighter and feeling very disappointed - we could have spent half of this and been more satisfied elsewhere. I would suggest avoiding.

Terrible experience. We arrived at 8:00 pm and we’re looking forward to a meal as the place looked fab and we had just arrived on holiday. However on arrival at the bar when we asked for a menu the guy behind the bar said “ we’re not doing food now!” To which I replied “ but the board outside said you serve food until 9:00!”. He replied “ well we’ve been busy today !” A you believe it !!!!!!!! I was at a loss for words but what I should have said is “ surely with the board outside advertising food until 9:00, surely that’s breaking trade descriptions. Appalling attitude !

Very disappointed with this years festive bakes . All sauce n stuffing no meat or cranberry and they were over cooked .

I'd rang in the week before the Saturday (19th Oct) lunchtime, and pre-booked a table for our party of 13, and I said we needed 2 high-chairs. (How nice it was to ring and book a table verbally, instead of booking on-line.) On the day, we arrived to find 3 tables pushed together for us, and all was good, though no high-chairs, which the staff member got sorted fast. We arrived in a bit of a disjointed way (an initial 5, then a 3, then a 5), but this caused no problem, and we had drinks on tab. Our meal experience was really very good, with good attention by all staff (at bar and at table). The food (we had main and dessert) came in good time, and it was delicious. All in our party thought their main course was excellent, being really flavoursome. I had the cottage pie, it was delightful, as was my partner's pork rump steak. Yes, prices were a couple of pounds more per plate for mains, but definitely worth it. At no time were we hurried along, or unduly hassled, and we ended up spending much of a great Saturday afternoon there. Our 7yo in the party enjoyed the wooden play apparatus outside, and I loved the Exmoor ales! Lastly, how refreshing to have no service charge automatically added, and allow customers to decide. We'd never eaten there before, but we will again!

Service was good Food was ok Sausages not as nice as normal and chips were a bit dried up
