The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Lyndhurst New Forest South East

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.

I went to the Greenwood Tree cafe for the first time a few days ago and the Tuna melt pannis tasted delicious

Friendly service, coffee could had been tastier, it was more like a coffee from a machine rather than freshly made. Ordered mashed avocado with piached eggs on sourdough bread, the bread lacked taste, avocado was very plain. The piached eggs were cooked to the right point. Suggestion, nuts and more flavour to it.

This was our second visit to this wonderful pub and both times have been excellent! The food, drink and atmosphere are all exceptional, we would highly recommend this fantastic pub!

As I was working in Lyndhurst I decided to book an hotel overnight stay as a treat. I chose the Stag as the price was competitive and close to my work. As it was a Friday night the bar/restaurant was busy and bustling with a good atmosphere. I was welcomed by a charming young gentleman who could not have been more warm, friendly and welcoming. I ate in the restaurant, which was very good. There was a slight mix up with my room reservation but this was quickly and efficiently sorted. The twin room I had been allocated was huge! Spotlessly clean apart from a wee that had been left I flushed in the loo. As it is a very old listed building, the windows do allow in a lot of noise, however a sign in the room explained that work will be carried out in 2025 to rectify this. Earplugs were very thoughtfully provided so the noise from the bar below did not affect sleep. Unfortunately had to check out too early in order to enjoy breakfast. All in all a pleasant stay with great staff.

What a family what fantastic produce...I drove specially from London to buy a Chicken Borcalli Pie, and Sausage roll, and a delicious Carrot cake....Thank you madame and daughters .....stay single......

Gorgeous dog friendly pub with a lovely garden. Can't comment on the food as didn't have any but will definitely come back to try! Lovely couple, clean and tidy pub. Try the Alpaca lypse!

Great ice cream here with lots of flavours. It is also a coffee shop and the cakes looked good. However for an ice cream whilst walking around Lyndhurst this place is a good choice.

We hadn't eaten in the Fox and Hounds for a couple of years as our last experience wasn't great. I am pleased to say we gave it another go. They even did their set menu on a Bank Holiday Monday. We all had 3 courses and all were very good. Delicious home made soup, 3 different main courses and treacle tart and sticky toffee pudding. However without doubt the stand out dish was the caprese salad. It was soooo good! Also a massive shout out to Rebecca, a true hospitality professional and a credit to the Fox and Hounds. We will be back 🙂

A real mixed bag here. Lovely pub, great setting, friendly staff but some of the food was sub par. Ordered a stone baked pizza, definitely not stone baked! Shop bought base…. Like a pizza from school dinners! Complained to waitress and she said she will tell them! The elusive ‘them’ and that was it, no explanation of why it was poor and what they intended to do about it! Poor poor service. Other food was ok tbf. Shame the poor customer service ruined the meal. £12 for a school dinner pizza. I’d avoid the pizza if you go and don’t complain as it will fall on deaf ears!
