The best restaurants in Lyndhurst New Forest South East

Went for the first time on Friday with friends. What a great experience,not too expensive. Nice wine, goid choice of cheeses. Would recommenda visit.

Supposedly, a birthday treat for my wife. No such luck. The greasiest and most undercooked chips I have ever had over my many decades of chippies throughout the British Isles. None were remotely crispy. I couldn't eat them, but my wife was quite hungry, though not impressed. The onion rings were so greasy, we had to place them onto kitchen towel and attempt to pat them dry, to no avail. The mushy peas were average, at best. The battered cod and haddock were definately on the small side and the batter VERY soggy, which is a shame as the crispy parts (about 40%) were good. All this on a Friday night, and cooked to order too :(

What a find! Located a couple of doors down from the Crown Hotel on the same side of the street in Lyndhurst. Hubby the coffee snob loved the coffee, and they grind their own here too. Personally a tea drinker, yet a lovely cuppa and a great naughty cake choice. Lovely lady behind the counter, presumed the owner, very chatty and friendly. Great place, highly recommended.

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.

Set amidst lush greenery, Lime Wood’s picturesque setting provides a serene escape from urban life. The hotel’s architecture, complemented by bespoke furnishings and an impressive art collection, exudes sophistication without pretension. The inviting atmosphere is enhanced by wood fires in gorgeously furnished sitting rooms, creating a cozy yet refined environment.

Fantastic food! We had a friendly welcome and there was a great menu choice. We chose chicken crackling and satay, a beef penang, pad thai and jasmine rice. It was some of the best thai food we have experienced. Meat was tender and the aromatic and spicy flavours really complimented each other. The decor was a little tired but I would thoroughly recommend a visit as we had great food which was reasonably priced.

Great food and service. Would recommend.

Lovely independent. Very homely feel and great staff. Would highly recommend

While we were on a 2 night getaway in Lyndhurst we decided to visit Dolce Vita for our first evening meal, about a 7 minute walk from the hotel we stayed at. Visiting in the middle of winter meant it was pitch black on the way there but when we arrived we received a wonderful welcome. We all had a 3 course meal. The menus were written in Italian and English, this definitely helped in choosing our orders with the aura of the Italian restaurant, my "Del Boy" Italian perhaps not so much! The manageress was so apologetic about them being short staffed but if they were, we genuinely didn't notice. The time between ordering to being served was minimal. Fabulous service and fabulous food, my sons pizza was melded and served in the shape of a bear-a nice touch which he loved! Great value for money, great food, great service and a great welcome! Thank you for having us!

Great pub. Great food, beers, wines and staff. The staff have been terrific from the first day I called to book. The Sunday roast was one of the best pub roasts we’ve had in a long while. Great ambience in the pub and a good beer and wine selection. Our party of four loved it so thank you and a Merry Christmas to all!

This place has an old world charm, with attentive staff. However our Sunday roast wasn't great. Warm rather than hot, the lamb was fatty and the vegetarian Willington was bland. I've been here in the past and loved it, perhaps Sundays aren't best day yo come

Wonderful lunch spot, the only place that seemed busy on a late December Day, loved the Coronation Chicken Ciabatta and the Milkshake I had was great. Quick, friendly service and reasonably priced.

Excellent. Grandson loved his kids breakfast and milkshake.

Cannot fault our experience at The New Forest...The food and service was 5 star! We celebrated a 60th Birthday with 26 family members and the event was fabulous, from our first contact to us leaving we had a brilliant time and felt very well cared for. Catering for so many guests and taking it all in their stride, very professional, friendly and efficient. Our food arrived all together, was hot and everyone of us said our choice of dish was cooked to perfection and good size portions. The staff regularly came to check on how we were doing in the Tack Room and to see if we needed any drinks etc. Would recommend this place without hesitation.
