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

The best Thai Food restaurant in Brockenhurst. I’ve been here many times, always get a friendly service & nice food. Recommended 👍👍

This is a lovely place...we had breakfast here...the food was all cooked fresh and the service was swift... it's quite a large place but feels quite intimate... spotlessly clean and very well run...we will return..

Leaving this review on Tripadvisor as I had already left a review on Resdiary shortly after our visit but haven’t had a response from Resdiary so not sure what the purpose of that is. The quality of the food was generally good. However, not all the food was served at the same time ( we had a long wait for a missing beef), and the food could have been hotter. The sprouts were extremely hard ( we like them al dente but these were extreme), one portion of apple crumble was sent back to be warmed up. One glass of wine was forgotten - when it did finally arrive it was deleted from the bill. This was a family lunch get together before Christmas of 8 adults and on the whole we had a good experience but the food and service could have been better.

One of My Favourite Places to Visit This hotels restaurant is a true gem! The beautiful surroundings create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, making every visit enjoyable. The food is consistently delicious, and I highly recommend the Sunday roast—it's simply outstanding. The staff are always friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Plenty of parking is available, which is a great convenience. Definitely worth a visit!

We had a fabulous breakfast enjoying the continental and hot food , the staff made us feel very welcome and took photos for us nothing was too much trouble . We will definitely stay here again , great hotel.

My brother and my son were very impressed with this establishment, as was I. Friendly and helpful service, delicious food and a welcome atmosphere. I have already recommended them to more family members and friends. Parking outside was very much appreciated, as my brother needs a wheelchair.

I booked this as a special birthday meal for my partner. We booked for 8:30pm on a Friday night. It was the only slot available. So we knew it was going to be busy. We were very much looking forward to this. Having read the reviews it really did have potential. Unfortunately it was a real disappointment. When we arrived the restaurant had only three occupied tables, so we were very surprised. The atmosphere was non existent. We could only hear the conversation of the group of gentlemen in the front of the window. We ordered two soft drinks, and some sparking water. The water was poured. It was still. The starters arrived and were expensive, tasteless and massively lacked flavour. Prawn cocktail was bland, and terribly sad looking. We ordered pork belly, and a steak med/rare. No steak knives were given. The pork was massively over cooked, the steak was unseasoned and well done. We returned the steak and were offered a replacement. It came with a bowl of what looked like lettuce. My partner politely asked what it was, we really didn’t have a clue. The waitress confirmed it was a side salad. Wow! The second sreak came up rare, unfortunately this was also tasteless and unseasoned, and what looked like the same fries from the first steak. The waitress was so kind and helpful. We felt embarrassed for her. She apologised and we left the food and asked for the bill. When the waitress returned. She’d removed my partners steaks and only charged us for the pork. I was too embarrassed not to pay, but we did, albeit without the steaks. Such a waste. Maybe the chef was ill that night? We aren’t fussy, or awkward but this was lacking in everything.

Great place to stop off in the New Forest for a meal snack or afternoon tea etc It looked as though it had closed down last time I was in Brockenhurst

Such a cosy place in this sweet town! We managed to order a few minutes before the kitchen was about to close and the portions were extremely generous! Fresh and tasty cod with an amazing tartare sauce highly recommended!

We chose to stop here specifically as there was a rapid charger for our EV. The grounds are relaxing and quiet. The conservatory restaurant had a good atmosphere and the service friendly and courteous. We had the Gnocchi and Ploughmans for lunch. Both were very tasty and well presented. Puddings were light and refreshing. Prices are not cheap but good food is worth paying for. Having tried out the restaurant and general ambience we are very likely to arrange a weekend break here soon.

Great food very tasty. Shame they turned the football off at half time

A thoroughly enjoyable stay in the Hotel, all the staff were most friendly and helpful, the rooms were warm, there was a lovely open fire in the reception area and lots of places to sit and relax. The bedroom was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and our meal in the Thai restaurant was delicious. We enjoyed the SenSpa very much and look forward to visiting again. Many thanks

After playing laser tag for a colleagues leaving do, 17 of us spontaneously decided to try our luck at this pub for lunch today. Not only was the (assumed) manager very polite, he managed to seat us all together in the marquee, and not only was our food served in record time - it was delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area

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.

Wonderful experience! Food was brilliant. Argentinian asado cooking with an asian twist. We want to do it all again next year!
