The best restaurants serving British food in Bransgore and Burley New Forest South East

Quick and attentive service. We had cake and tea which was really nice. However, prices were at the high end. Good stopping off point in New forest.

We went for a relaxed breakfast and it was great. Very reasonably priced, lovely coffee ( we ordered more!) and good home cooked food. The service was excellent too. We’ll definitely be back.

We knew we would like this pub as soon as we walked in. The barman gave us such a welcome, told us where we could sit, what beer to try. Another lady on duty was also lovely, as well as the two ladies who served us breakfast. The 2nd lady knew I would have any yoghurt but strawberry and a small orange juice. Your staff are truly wonderful. Our room was at the front of the hotel, overlooking the pub garden and down into Burley itself. The room with no number, we wondered why, was it something spooky with all the witchcraft connections in the village? No, we did find out why, but I'm not telling! Our meals were really good - what a plate full. We recommend the pie of the day, sausages, and lasagne. Lovely pub grub. All served with a smile by Josh. The pub runs table service, which is a real treat and not something we've come across since Covid. Car park is always busy, because the pub is too. Lunches & dinners every day of the week and very popular. Alas no electric charging points for our car. Burley is ideally situated to visit lots of areas of interest, right in the National Park, but not far from the coast. Horses & cattle roam freely, plenty of horse dollops. Only a short walk & you're in open pasture. You can catch the open top tourist bus from Burley, and there are lots of little shops to browse round. We had a really lovely stay, and will be recommending this place to our family and friends.

Visiting the area and went for a birthday treat as looked like something a bit special. Very disappointed. We were advised they were busy, although we had pre-booked, and bought olives to the table. 45min wait to order. 2 starters - french onion soup was 'watery' and no cheese crouton, bread board to share was fresh but did not taste of sundried tomato and bacon as advised. Long wait for mains - people arriving after us were getting their main courses - and what a disappointment. Dover Sole mushy and tasteless (returned), lamb cutlets not pink as promised with tasteless red win jus, duck breast edible but poor. 2.5 hours after table booking foraging for food in local co-op! Bill was significantly discounted, but for restaurant prices all food we had was a very poor standard.

Had cappuccinos, a cake and a sandwich. All very good. Nice to sit outside in the sun. Service good. Coffees a little on the small side but sandwich really good quality. Minor niggle- not enough apple in Dorset apple cake. A good pit- stop for lunch or a coffee and snack.

Cream tea was very disappointing..dirty cups and a very long wait to be served. Plenty of other places for cream tea..avoid this tearoom/restaurant

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.

Went as a group of 4 with toddler. Pies lovely but should be served with a portion of gravy. We asked for some and got some so ok. Cabbage watery and peas looked reheated a few times but in the main nice. Clean table. Served quickly for drinks. Kids meal nice portion wise and all eaten. It's a local pub that we've not used much but will be returning.

An excellent choice as a lunch stop before a journey to the Midlands.

Very accommodating with food allergies and dietary requirements. Very helpful and friendly staff. Just what we needed on our last, wet night camping.

We come to the Crown a lot. Lovely food, staff are so lovely and friendly, always a warm welcome, and it’s great using the vintage loyalty card to! Makes us come so much more! We live around 15 mins away but this is our local now!! Love it there! Thanks to you all!!

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.
