The best restaurants serving British food in New Forest South East

Excellent iced coffee, friendly, accommodating service and a delicious meatball panini. Very reasonably priced. Will visit again.

Wonderful quality for a huge family order with lots of variety - all delicious! We had a group of 15 with varying tastes and everyone was really happy with what they had, the fish was beautifully cooked and great chips too.

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.

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!

Food was amazing and staff very friendly and helpful, accommodation was excellent couldn't praise it enough.

A great place to stop for some lovely Cafe grub! Familly and Dog friendly too! Thank you for a fantastic lunch/breakfast

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.

Came here for a bite to eat as was passing to go home. The food was really tasty and very generous portions.

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, cosy pub, with friendly, welcoming staff nestled in a charming village. Oh, and the food was delicious too - exceeded expectations! We were able to enjoy a drink in the beer garden out the front too, marvelling at all the thatched roofs around. Highly recommend, and worth going out of your way to visit.

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 !!!

Stopped here with the family for a brunch on a Saturday. Was very busy but the friendly front of house girls were attentive and made sure we had a table, plus they wiped it down instantly rather than letting us sit near any mess. We ordered a small breakfast, a breakfast bap, and for our 7 year old, they allowed us to make up a plate of things as "extras" from the menu which was great. Not sure if they allow swaps or not on the set menu's (many in New Forest don't allow). The food was really tasty, all good quality ingredients, excellent butchers sausages, and HP/Heinz sauces (not refilled with cheap stuff). Coffee was also nice and everything served nice and hot. Excellent food, great service, clean - will return when next in the area on holidays.

We had a really lovely three course lunch here today. The food was excellent and the waiting staff/students were all so polite and helpful. I really recommend it.
