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.

Afternoon tea for 6..lovely food..excellent service and we were not rushed at all..thank you so much for a lovely afternoon

Ambiente fantástico y quesos uno para morir! Personal atento y vajilla maravillosa - hace una gran diferencia, créeme!

Absolutely fantastic service and without doubt the best battered sausage and chips I’ve ever had, never tasted batter like it words can’t explain. Well done will be back next time we’re down.

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.

Great cafe, lovely owner who's always up for a chat even when she's busy. Reasonably priced, well made food. Had very nice bacon sandwich last time I was there. Highly recommend popping in if you are passing.

Great place to eat. Friendly and excellent customer service. Food excellent

Really wonderful, fresh, seasonal food, prepared with attention to detail and flavour. Rhubarb pavlova was a winner.

Excellent service with friendly, welcoming staff. Our group has been here before. Now under new management, it’s still fantastic. We enjoyed our roasts and Loaded nachos. The lasagne tasted great but was a little small. Overall, excellent and will go again.

This was my first visit to The Salmon Leap although I have heard about it for years. I had thought because of the name that it was close to the river which it is not, so that was a bit disappointing! As others have said the value is very good, I had Rabbit and Bacon Pie which was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

an amazing mother’s day experience i’ve stopped going out mother’s day as usually it’s always disappointing. Poor Food rushed service but not here Today was excellent. alAs usually even with a pa jed restaurant the staff have that ability to make you feel valued Nikki, Heidi , Rachel , Meg and new chap Ralph gave first class service and made sure we were well looked after My coconut magharita was awesome ( i sadly don’t know the mixologists name but he deserves a mention) The Roast was perfect. a butter knife would have cut through the beef …. well done the lighthouse. never ever disappoints and why I always bring visitors here My second visit of the week Top Food tip staff top service even on one of the busiest days of the year !!!

Great place, 2 open fires, rustic and simplicity at its best. It was my husbands bday today and they gave him a pint on the house! Ploughman’s were exceptional, homemade and fresh and lovely warm bread. We will definitely be back.

Excellent 5 course tasting menu, superb service and delicious food. Everything was on point and the ambience was lovely.
