The best restaurants serving Default food in Hordle New Forest South East

Always been a favourite spot to meet up, have a light bite and natter. Staff and service as good as ever but our meals were expensive and disappointing. The small macaroni cheese came with barely an inch of it in a small oval dish. About one heaped tablespoon with a tiny scrap of garlic bread, a cherry Imari cut in half and a few small salad leaves. Tasty enough but at £7:50 daylight robbery, As for the Brie, cranberry and bacon panini equally bad - slithers of Brie rind, no discernible cranberry and leathery bacon.

We went for Dinner on August 26th (Bank Holiday). There was no atmosphere and the Restaurant was less than half full. We were asked if we had booked and told that the kitchen was closing early, it was only 6.30pm!! There was music in the Bar and outside although nobody was in either but none audible in the Restaurant. The staff seemed to be untrained and unprofessional and not at all welcoming. Some training is definitely needed. This used to be an excellent food Pub such a shame to see it has gone so down hill.

Called in for lunch, the cakes in the cabinet looked appealing and pretty large as did the scones! But as it was lunch time we both opted for the chicken curry, rice and popadom as we thought looking at the other dishes on offer it would be ample…….wrong the mountain of very large grain rice was topped with a table spoonful of curry that contained four 25mm squares of chicken about 10mm thick, a small amount of vegetables and a bit of curry sauce……… talk about small portion ! @£12 it did not equal value for money, first time we’ve been to this establishment for lunch, had coffee and cake before never a complaint but that was ridiculous never again. Another nursery with a cafe close by is much better, portion size and cuisine! It’s back to Otters Nursery for me !

Live locally was a nice sunny evening so my partner and I decided to walk around to our local pub for dinner/ drinks Bar staff were lovely and polite very welcoming had food which was ok not exceptional had a nice evening until leaving when the landlady was stood in the doorway sparking up a cigarette looking us up and down giving us dirty looks for no reason whatsoever ever Not very welcoming as a landlady…..

Food good, staff friendly ,pub run down bad as it is part of a Premier Inn

Can't believe our local is closing. There is nowhere else to go that doesn't require driving. Such a shame. Its always busy there and the food is very good.
