The best restaurants serving British food in Milford 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.

Great for gluten free Great fish tacos Lovely steak Heidi was very attentive and helpful. Cocktails and good selection of wines Top evening!!!

Our first time here and we loved it.. It has character, but what really made it was the friendly, personal customer service we received, even though it was busy. We got the impression that several customers were 'regulars' and we can see why. We would recommend it.

- friendly staff - good location - bustling atmosphere - very quick service - clean - toilets - reasonably priced food - good food

Fantastic pub meal, lovely beer and wine with friendly staff in an enjoyable atmosphere.

I would highly recommend this place to eat, couldn’t fault it. Welcoming friendly staff , meal was super and large portions all served to yo and lovely and hot. The white are I would definitely recommend which my partner chose and I had liver and bacon really good , we will be going again that’s for sure. Easy parking in front of the smugglers inn.

Recently visited The Royal Oak for an evening meal. Upon arrival we were told there’d be a delay on the food as they only had one chef. These things happen so no big deal. The starters arrival and sadly the Mac and Cheese was missing the cheese so tasted very bland. The main arrived (mushroom and halloumi burger) and it looked very underwhelming, also the chips looked anemic and the coleslaw was very watery. Also some of the sachets of condiments were 6 months out of date (BBE: April 2024). This place used to be good but it appears to have gone downhill.

What a beautiful hotel! We stayed in a sea view room and its was gorgeous. Amazing views, large bedroom. Lovely.

Building and Rooms lovely. Room was excellent in terms of size, appointment, cleanliness and comfort of bed (unfortunately it was a bit stuffy; noisy when kitchen fans were on; and, strangely, no-where to hang towels). Unfortunately, the Downstairs (bar and Restaurant) is tired and has a 'grubby pub' feel; e.g. crockery not clean, 'restaurant' waiting staff were super friendly but not knowledgeable nor efficient. Barman actually quite brusque and pulled cork from £30 bottle of wine out of sight of table and plonked on the table like a bottle of ketchup.
