Good food, parked up overnight in a large grass camp field £15 per night, staff friendly, quiet night sleep in our motorhome, the field a bit lumpy but we park on the hard standing. Lovely walks in the forest.
Five minutes off the A31, The Green Dragon is a very worthwhile alternative to your average service station, mid-journey stop off!
We stopped in for lunch on the way back from the coast and I’m so glad I took the time to find this alternative.
It was a slightly damp, mid week stop so the pub wasn’t too busy and the garden wasn’t usable (but it looked like it would be lovely on a better day!), so it was a little quite in side but it did mean there was tables available. On a better day, booking in advance might be advisable to avoid disappointment!
They had a good choice of beers and the food was very good, one of the better ploughman’s I have had in a while!
There was plenty of parking available to the rear/side.
Staff could have been a little more friendly and welcoming but where efficient and polite.
If you’re passing through the New Forest on the A31, don’t settle for the usual bland services, take a minors detour and enjoy the local hospitality, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!
Great pub with lots of space and covered garden area. Believe it's dog friendly. Food has always been good. Eaten there probably 6 or 7 times and not once I have been disappointed. The website was down the last time I checked but you should probably book if going on the weekend as they are popular. Ale selection ok but all drinks made well.
