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! 👍

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.

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

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.

Highly recommend. A wonderful choice of Thai cuisine all freshly cooked to order. Very relaxed atmosphere and great service. If you are staying in Lyndhurst have a wander along here and check it out, you won’t be disappointed and so nice to get away from pub food or pizzas!

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

Authentic Italian food, very good price-quality ratio. The service of the waiters Giacomo and Ursula was perfect. Even my dog ​​was able to stay at the table with us. The food is really great. The salmon penne was my favorite and we returned the next day to enjoy other dishes.

2nd time visiting here. The first time we turned up it was late and there was a closed sign on the door. We turned to walk away ,when a young lady opened the door and welcomed us in. She was more than happy for us to stay and dine for as long as we liked. We had a wonderful meal, one of the best Indian meals I have had. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for the waitress, Bini. On our return, just our 2nd visit, Bini had remembered us from the previous time, when we had turned up after closing. Once again, we turned up when the restaurant had already closed and again Bini welcomed us in with the biggest smile. She was so lovely and welcoming and as before, we had a first class meal with first class service. I can't recommend this little restaurant highly enough . I give it 10/10 for food, service and cleanliness 👌 Thank you Bini, we will be back ! ✨😃

Not the prettiest from the outside, but come inside and you’ll discover a great choice of food and huge portions. Friendly staff, and it’s also dog friendly.

First time here but it will definitely not be the last. Full to bursting when we arrived and I can see why. Great atmosphere and friendly, efficient staff. As for the food well it was gorgeous!! The only slight negative was the wine, which was supermarket quality. We’re planning our next visit!

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.
