The best restaurants serving British food in Ringwood South New Forest South East

England is dead, because of people like this. So rude, so laced with persecution and inhospitality by pseudo-elites. They want war at this place.

great value nice food lovely staff

Really nice, perfectly cooked fish and chips.

The pub has a lovely setting, and as it was nice day we had intended to have lunch outside (Thursday October 24th). To see so few customers outside and only one other vehicle in the car park was a little surprising, but my husband went into the bar to order a couple of lamb burgers. Unfortunately, the menu had changed since our last visit, so he emerged with drinks and the new menu. He returned to order a few minutes later to find NO staff there. Two ladies were waiting and when the bar person reappeared, the bar person either started, or was still struggling, to deal with the duo who were querying their bill (they had been overcharged). Eventually a supervisor came and told the inexperienced bar person to cancel the transaction and start again; The supervisor then disappeared, rather than take over, or take my order. The two ladies then started to query another bill; Meanwhile a couple with two small dogs came in and the dogs were screeching, (and yes, I do mean screeching!) Our dog incidentally was happily sitting outside, along with a couple of others who were also not causing a nuisance. After waiting so long to be served, and with no end, or any other staff in sight, and the horrid racket from the two dogs,my husband decided it really wasn't worth the effort. We finished our drinks back in the garden and left. We are not impatient people, and I do not see any point in emailing you, as that is what you seem to suggest to others who have had underwhelming experiences. Instead, may I suggest that you train your staff to remedy problems more speedily, have someone nearby they can quickly refer to, and who can take over, or just have more staff available during prime hours, like lunchtimes to take orders. What should have been a nice lunch out on a nice day was anything but. The lack of customers did surprise us, but given the service we received, perhaps it shouldn’t have.

We were in Ringwood which we are not familiar with and were looking for somewhere to have lunch. We came across Arboro Lounge by chance and thought we would try it. It was a surprise when we went in as it was nothing like we expected! We received a warm welcome and as downstairs was full up we were able to find a table upstairs. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed the quirky relaxed atmosphere.

My wife was charged £6 for one round of cheap supermarket bread toasted.Hmm.!! My sausage bap was average at best. We had to endure sitting close to 3 loud/sweary blokes, who were old enough to know better than to swear in front of women. You can rip us off once, you won't get another chance
