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

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.

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! 👍

Just popped in for a coffee and a break from the monotony of lockdown - great coffee and mind blowing flapjack!!

This is a cycle shop with a small but great cafe serving delicious cakes and light lunches to eat in or take out. A terrific change from all the chain coffee shops. Friendly service and a nice peaceful ambience.

Lovely ambience, helpful friendly staff, and most importantly a lovely glass of wine! Next time will get food as it looked delicious

An amazing place to stay for families couples or friends. Staffs were super welcoming, LOVE their breakfasts and spa. The restaurant has lots of homemade items which I’ll definitely miss. Besides all these, they also have an amazing spa, great for relaxing.

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.

Good but shrieking drunk woman in a party of 6 on next table on Friday 25 April ruined it. Everything else was really nice and service prompt

These guys accommodated 9 of us for lunch with 4 kids and a dog. Superb attentive service and delicious food. Healthy too 😀 Thankyou. Highly recommend

I had such a great experience at Indian fusion. The staff were super friendly and really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing — full of flavor, and everything tasted so fresh. Can’t wait to come back!

Really was looking forward to this after staying in the area with the family, ordered a take away and sadly when I finished my plate of spaghetti bolognaise there was a hair in my food. This is awfully sad, I’m a bit upset really.

Delicious food, we loved the lasagne, spaghetti con polpette and the heavenly banoffee pie. I also really appreciated the thoughtful service, we were sat outside and our waiter always made sure we were warm and dry.

Delicious food and excellent atmosphere in a beautiful setting. Perfect for a walk through the forest, plenty of outside space to enjoy and dog friendly to boot. Absolutely wonderful service from Chloe, a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Thank you for accommodating our large group. Highly recommended.

An excellent place to stay. Very comfortable room. Great food. Breakfasts and evening meal were very good. A good choice of beers and wine. . A good situation with a short walk to Lyndhurst and a starting point for many forest walks . The staff were exceedingly good and helpful in all aspects. We have already decieded to return next year , if not before
