Really lovely staff, didn't rush us with our food, very friendly and helpful. We had the hot stone mixed grill which was amazing, the best cuts of sirloin, lamb and duck I've ever had in a pub and complimented by the best blue cheese sauce. Really tasty, can't wait to go again but will be taking the little one and the dog next time so they can enjoy the excellent park in the garden.
Lovely country pub . Food always delicious with a good menu. Xmas menu very tasty 😋 Friendly service . Would recommend 👍
Great food & service.. Lamb shank was so tender, it just fell off the bone .. Rib Eye steak cooked just as requested.. Really enjoyable evening. Would definitely recommend.
Great food and friendly staff, had the steak and other meal was mixed grill, beautiful cuts of meat and cooking on the hot stone was a new experience, loved it and would definitely go back:)
Best meal of our holiday, great food, friendly staff would definitely recommend
Ordered my meal sat down and within 10 mins I had a fantastic platter of food in front of me ...fresh cooked home made with a pint of local ale to wash it town. Service was warm and friendly. Well done people and thank you!
Went for dinner last night and food was great and really good value. Staff were excellent. Would certainly recommend to all
Had a great night here, food was great ,good selection on the menu . Good value for money staff really attentive .
My husband and i had a long weekend and had lunch here. We both had steak on the the stone. It was outstanding! The starters were also so tasty with something amazing unique flavours and the presentation was top quality. I’d come back just to eat here again
Nice pub, good food pleasant atmosphere especially next to the fire on a cold day. Try the hot stone food clever idea as you cook it yourself. Good side portions.
Popped in for a drink. Lovely pub with great friendly staff. Outdoor area is really nice with play area for kids and plenty of sitting. Will be back if we are in the area again. Plenty of free spaces can get full quick though due to pub footfall.
Beautiful pub in the heart of Brockenhurst. Not much has changed in the 12 years since I last visited, but it remains as stunning as ever.
Ideally situated for the train station too. Unfortunately, it was far too hot to sit outside, and I didn't want to be mobbed by wasps, but by the window was lovely.
Thank you :)
Saved our evening! After being turned away at the huntsman up the road we made our way down to the snake catcher, we arrived at 8.20 and enquired about a table for 2, the staff let us know that the kitchen would be closing at half 8 and very graciously let us choose our table, saying we could come up to the bar whenever we were ready to order. Unfortunately many of the specials were sold out, which is to be expected as we were late in the evening and they all sounded very delicious. We were still able to find something in the main menu which we were very pleased with. The staff were very accommodating. Thanks everyone for making my evening!
Great pub! I can’t say I was expecting the food an service that we got! The food was fantastic and probably some of the best I have ever eaten!
We will be coming back to take our kids as they have a play area out the back.

Food was so good - we both opted for the steak which was amazing. Veg was delicious.
Our kids ( aged 4&2) had spag bowl and a pizza. Both were reported as very nice, but we had quite a lot left over as the portions were very generous. One meal to share would have easily been enough for my two children, so something to think about if you are feeding under 5s.
Service was quick by friendly and cheerful waitresses.
We've eaten out somewhere different every night this week in the New Forest, and we was slightly gutted that we only found this place the night before heading home - 100% the best place we've eaten all week! Will be back if we are in the area again.
Only downside in my opinion is that it wasn't easy to book a table. I called twice (no answer), so submitted a "request" for a table via the website, but my table was never confirmed in the two hours that followed (presumably no one at the pub looked at the request). In the end we just turned up, and we're immediately seated, so it wasn't an issue. But it was 530 in the evening, and I suspect we may have been turned away if it was a bit later on, say, a Friday night. Perhaps you could invest in a better booking system that provides real time availability....
Loved the food, the portions were massive which works well with my friends and family. The waiters/waitresses were really friendly. Only drawback is the fish pie was slightly salty for my taste but other than that, definitely a must for visitors.
We popped in off the cuff as a group of 10 (we where camping nearby). It was busy but there was a table inside free. We all ordered, food came out quick and was fantastic. Portion size was good, kids meals where near adult size. For the quality, quantity and service it was amazing value and wouldn't hesitate to go again when close.
Great day out, first since Christmas with friends, had a couple of sharing platers, brilliant food very tasty and plenty of it at reasonable price. Staff were great, helpful and attentive. Thank you Snakecatcher for providing a safe comfortable environment for our meeting with friends. Highly recommended. Came again had a sharing plater ploughman's and basket of chips. Staff as ever very friendly food brilliant and plenty for 4 oldies. Still highly recommended.
Absolutely stunning pub, service was amazing. The food was out of this world! Highly recommended!
Stopped here for lunch whilst out on a bike ride. Wow! What a lovely place to eat. We are plant based and we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of things we could have from the menu. The staff were friendly and kind and the pub was clean and comfortable. A lovely spot to eat, would definitely return.

Decent food (though I'd already ordered by the time I spotted the more interesting dishes at the back of the menu!) and friendly service. Gets pretty busy at the weekend so worth booking a table.
we had a really nice experience at the snake catcher, I've not had to cook my food before on a hot stone. but was really fun. Food was great, service was lovely and would def go back. we went with 2 kids, 5 adults and a dog.
Group of 8 for meal.
Booked online and all went smoothly.
Big portions.
Fish and chips looked good,as did the starters.
I had fish pie which was a bit disappointing as it was quite dry,lots of veg with it.
Nice evening so lots of people in the garden,where they have a separate bar for ease of service.
Brilliant pub. Has lots of character inside and a lovely garden with kids play area. Good variety of food to suit all tastes. Great place to visit.
Nice pub/restaurant. Atmosphere is family friendly and staff are welcoming. Dogs are allowed too.
Food is good, especially the hot stone dishes!! Prices are fair - it's not cheap but not expensive. Quality is good. Overall a very good experience.
Solid 4 stars
We were really impressed with the food. Loved my steak on lava stone. Everyone liked their dish. Good pub grub and nice garden
Nice friendly staff (especially the barman/cocktail maker). Was very busy but they managed to get us a table when we arrived without a booking. Good choice of ales and cocktails. Food was pretty good too, although maybe a bit expensive, but you pay for the location so not overly concerned. Would definitely visit again if we are in the area.
