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.

Came accross this place whilst wheeling down the high street. What a great find. Amazing helpful staff. Lovely decor. Delicious choice of food. I had eggy bread for the first time. 😋.

The quality of food was basic, sausages were hard, and poached eggs overcooked. Beans basic, low quality food, we did get a refund for 1x of the breakfast purchased.

My partner and I visited The New Forest Inn on Saturday night, we arrived about 7pm not having reserved a table. There was a lot of cars parked outside, but we were lucky and got shown to a table imediately by the very polite and efficient front of house lady. We both ordered Seabass which was cooked and seasoned perfectly, then cherry clotted cream ice cream to follow, the prtions are a very good size, we can eat. We had a bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc along with the meal. Everything was totally delicious. To top it off we had the friendliest amusing waitress ever Jen, she made our whole experience wonderful. Thank you Jen. If you have the chance to visit this beautiful Inn, don't hesitate. The best meal we ate while visiting the New Forest for the weekend

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.

Possibly the worst sandwich I have ever tasted. I can only describe the bread as poor quality thin sliced white bread, the cheese could not be seen, there was a generous amount of caramelised jam! over priced at £6.50! The tea was reasonable. The cakes looked nice.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was not only delicious but the service was also top-notch. The team went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. I was particularly impressed by how they handled dietary requirements — they catered effortlessly to the allergy. It was clear they genuinely cared about accommodating all guests. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a memorable meal with thoughtful service!

We visited for the first time today after pre-booking for Sunday dinner. The pub is beautiful and charming, with old beams and a log fire. Not only are they dog-friendly, but they offer a "doggie dinner" on the menu which was a roast dinner. Our pup loved it. Our food was also delicious, hot and plentiful. The staff are polite and friendly. There is a well-kept garden and a car park. The toilets were the cleanest facilities I've ever seen in a pub too. We will certainly be returning.

Almost impossible to get served at the bar on a Friday. 15 minute wait at the bar.

Had a lovely meal on a Sunday evening. Brilliant service and food. Will be back.
