The best restaurants serving British food in New Forest South East

The best place for breakfast. We travel from Southampton each time to enjoy it. The quality of food, the service and the whole place is amazing. We absolutely love coming back and we have reassurance that the food will as superb as each time . Coming back tomorrow for a lunch and cannot wait.

Lovely panini, fresh and tasty, plus a great cup of tea and tasty fresh flapjack. Lovely service and great place on the Lymington Quay front.

Love going to the Chapel, lovely service, my kids LOVE the treasure box too and the drinks / food are amazing!! Would definitely recommend!

We visited with 6 of us and a baby. The service was very quick and friendly. I am currently dairy and soya free and was able to have something to eat and drink (which is usually difficult when out!). The family was all impressed with the lunch selection.

Supposedly, a birthday treat for my wife. No such luck. The greasiest and most undercooked chips I have ever had over my many decades of chippies throughout the British Isles. None were remotely crispy. I couldn't eat them, but my wife was quite hungry, though not impressed. The onion rings were so greasy, we had to place them onto kitchen towel and attempt to pat them dry, to no avail. The mushy peas were average, at best. The battered cod and haddock were definately on the small side and the batter VERY soggy, which is a shame as the crispy parts (about 40%) were good. All this on a Friday night, and cooked to order too :(

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.

This is amazing little Cafe but unfortunately we only get to go when we are on holiday 🥲 The owner is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. And the food is extremely good and always fresh. We always have a chat and are made to feel most welcome. Love it ❤️

Very good service and the food we had was very good and value for money.

Sensational - possibly one of the best pub lunches we have ever had. From the quality of the ingredients, the presentation, the friendly and attentive service. We could not fault it. Great beer too.

Always good food but beware...the portion sizes are HUGE! Doggy bag always needed for my girly appetite. Lovely well cooked food and non touristy prices!

Always amazing food. Big portions. Lisa is amazing and looks after us well. Love this place!

Great country pub. Open fires, real ale and a good ploughman's.

Absolutely stunning; wow, what an experience. The food was unbelievable, just beautiful AND the service was also out of this world. We LOVED everything about our visit. Just wised we lived closer . Will definitely visit again. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We had an excellent meal - no pretensions but a real level above ordinary “pub food”. Friendly helpful service and a lovely log fire on a cold December evening.

I have just had the most delicious Christmas lunch with friends. A friendly welcome, attentive staff. Food arrived hot, which is unusual in some places. Large portions, turkey was succulent and a large portion (I had to take some home). There was a large variety of vegetables. There was a wide selection of puddings which were delicious. My friends have not been before and will definitely be returning!
