The best restaurants serving British food in New Forest South East

What a difference from last visit. Welcoming staff and atmosphere was nice. Food was great. Waitress was very nice and helpful. Overall great experience. Had the chicken burger with chunky chips. Double burger inside. Will go again

This is a fantastic place to visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious. I have visited a few times and have never once been disappointed.

Just a quick shout out to the Cliff house. Usually put a review on every now and then for the Cliff house. Ate here last week and yet again exceptional service, great choice of drinks and good menu. Had a chateaubriand which was cooked perfectly. Price is ok for location. Thoroughly enjoyable

Tucked away just off the High Street, this is an intriguing old religious building that has been transformed into a friendly restaurant with various levels. On a quiet midweek lunchtime, we were offered a varied and interesting menu which led to each one of our party of five choosing a different main course. All plates were cleared! We sampled two of the desserts between us and the beautifully presented home made ice creams were outstanding both in quality and variety. The other offerings were beautifully presented and again all plates were cleared. In future this will be our go to destination for meals in Lymington.

Lovely busy restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the vegetable spring rolls and thai fish cakes as starters. We both had the duck on crispy noodles as our mains, which was excellent.

Amazing breakfast and service. Brilliant value for money, very friendly staff. Can’t fault them!! Will definitely be back. Dogs also welcome which is lovely

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..

We stopped for lunch during a busy summer weekday and had a pleasant lunch and which provided good value for money. Despite being busy the service was efficient and we didn't face too long a wait for our food. There is a good range of food options on the menu with an option to add extras onto some dishes and a good selection of deserts available.

We stopped off for an early evening meal.. Very warm welcome by the lady at front of restaurant. Hildi was very attentive and friendly and an asset to the restaurant. The food was great especially the fried hake. My only slight disappointment was the fried white bait.Being so close to the sea I would have thought it would have been fresh, and not prepared. All in its good value and great food.

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.

Fantastic nights stay.. wish to stay longer. Excellent breakfast.

Service was appalling, with nobody in charge and long waits to be shown to tables and for service. The meat dishes were very good, but the vegetarian options were dreadful and very expensive. One half of an aubergine with very little garnish was not a balanced meal for a 30 year old. Very disappointing. The other vegetarian dish, gnocchi, was luke warm and did not have enough sauce. Again it needed more vegetables or ingredients to make a balanced meal. It was by far the most expensive meal that we ate during our stay in Brockenhurst, but the poorest experience. We left hungry and went elsewhere for dessert, as the service was so poor.

We had lunch here today for my birthday. The staff are very friendly and service was excellent. The food was soooo good. Highly recommend the beetroot and goats cheese mousse starter. The whole meal was delicious. Will certainly return.

Lovely meal but the young server with the long dark hair asked if we would like to see dessert menus. She went away and never came back. We waited 20 minutes then went to find someone to get our bill.

Offbeat seriously make the best gluten free vegan Blondie really delicious .Also staff were amazing coping at a very difficult time always with the best service and lovely smiles . Always a great experience and can’t wait to go again .keep up the great work guys
