The best restaurants serving Default food in New Forest South East

Great tapas place with fantastic service. Tapas was filling and flavour some. Close to the train line give it a try!!!!!

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

Googled somewhere to have a breakfast and the coffee house came up. Very lovely breakfast, and the latte was beautiful.

It might look like a cafe on the outside (if you can find it), but there’s a proper restaurant with a proper kitchen on the inside. A small but varied menu, good portions and tasty. The chef was out among the guests, taking orders and asking if all ok. Well placed confidence. We would definitely return.

We visited over the second BH weekend in May. Had sandwiches which were nicely prepared and tasty together with a good cup of coffee. Can thoroughly recommend.

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.

I’m a local resident and this lovely kiosk set in Fordingbridge Park is the very best. Hot and cold drinks, freshly prepared food all served with a smile by wonderful staff. Uses local produce which really does add to this little gem….try it….you’ll not be disappointed.

One of the fun things about travelling around, (often in your own 'backwoods'), is when you unexpectantly stumble across a small eaterie or coffee house that you did not know existed... as was just the case for me recently with Forest Edge Roasting in Lyndhurst. I spend quite a bit of time in The New Forest and especially in Lyndhurst, (the de facto capital of the Forest in fact), for one reason or another and am quite well acquainted with the High Street coffee chains & independent outlets in the main part of the high street..but I don't normally have reason to head further up the village past the terrific Lyndhurst Antiques sited on the corner. However last week whilst visiting a couple of friends who trade in the Antique Centre somebody mentioned Forest Edge Roasting, just around the corner..so offering to buy them hot drinks, I popped around the corner..just 3 or 4 doors up... and there indeed it was. Not sure if I had opened the right door, (it looking for all the world like an entrance to one of the flats above), a good-looking, well laid out & spotlessly clean, coffee bar met my eyes, with several comfy-looking nooks in which to sit... and in the far corner, a small wee business-like area where, I was told, the owner actually roasts the coffee beans..so you can't get much fresher than that!. The delightful young lady behind the counter was very welcoming and appeared to know well the specific coffee order that I was putting in for my two friends..and for me, well I opted for a hot chocolate. Probably a sacrilegious thing for me to order in a 'proper' coffee house', but she was very happy with my order and so, thankfully, I got my 'rare treat'! On a cold morning, I am so glad I stuck to my guns and ordered my favoured hot-choccie as it was just superb..and was even more pleased that I ordered their large option..for though in my experience of ordering take-out drinks, hot chocolate is an easy drink to get wrong: too thick or too thin, too sweet or not sweet enough..luke- warm or mouth-burningly hot....however Forest Edge Roasting's offering was spot-on and just mouth-watering.... ....and my two pals also gave the thumbs up to their coffees as well! So if you ever find yourself down in Lyndhurst, (you may have popped in to view the famous Ferrari garage down at the bottom of the village or you are perhaps heading up to see Alice Liddell's grave...the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's 'Alice Through The Looking Glass'... in the Churchyard of St Michael & All Angels Church at the top end of Lyndhurst), make sure you find time to you pop into Forest Edge Roasting, ( at the top of the village on the right-hand side), for cuppa..either in or as a take-out..! Here you'll get a wonderful welcome, a cracking hot drink...and you'll also be helping another hard-working, small local business compete with the major high street chains in these times of tough trading! 👍

Visited for a quick coffee on 6.11.24. Excellent coffee best we’ve had in a very long time. Surroundings very clean. Would thoroughly recommend. Will be back again.

I love visiting this cafe, great coffee and good selection of food. I usually have breakfast and there often families and couples having lunch too. Phillips and his staff work really hard and are very friendly. Highly recommended! Thanks Phillips for running a such brilliant place

just had the BEST southern fried chicken burger I have ever had, so I thought it deserved a review. Found The Food Hut Takeaway on Google whilst we’re staying in Sway for the weekend and quite honestly i’d go out of my way to go here again just for the food! Delivery was super quick too and food was piping hot 👌🏻

Stumbled upon this lovely little cafe by chance as the place we used to visit was closed. Great selection of cakes, made a lovely cup of tea, which sounds odd but some cafes I've been to, the tea has not been great. Going to say very dog friendly as opposed to just dog friendly as the staff seem to enjoy having our four legged companions visit them and came across to say hello to our terrier. Husband had the salted caramel brownie, I tried a piece and it was melt in your mouth. Often down this way so will be adding this to our must visit places when in the New Forest.

We moved to Burley recently and have really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at the WB. They make a really valuable contribution to the community and have some fun events (e.g. quizzes, discos, book clubs, etc). The staff and volunteers work really hard to make everyone feel welcome. Also offers the cheapest drinks in Burley!
