We visited for the first time for a birthday celebration on 28/10/23. The food was superb. Portion sizes were very generous. The service was great. And it was a lovely atmosphere. The only drawback, was the wood fire which irritated our eyes. But apart from this, the waiter and chef were extremely a
One of my all time favourite restaurants! Steve and all of his staff always go above and beyond for you. Such a gorgeous venue with beautiful delicious food. You will never have a bad experience coming here. The best!
Having not been back since the devastation of Steve and team leaving a couple of years ago we thought “why not” and decided to go back last night, and following what can only be described as a meal to die for, we spotted some familiar faces in the kitchen which instantly explained why the meal we ha
Lovely place to visit. Very old. Oldest pub in Dorset. Lovely garden setting. Well worth a visit if in the area.
Overall very very good
Not cheap but excellent in a beautiful old chatched pub
Lovely setting in an old fashioned cottage pub. Staff friendly and attentive.
Food… what can I say?! Wow! 10/10!
Pork belly - rich and mouth-wateringly tender
Venison - beautiful flavour and cooked to perfection.
Can honestly say this meal was perfect!
Lovely traditional pub with the best roast I have ever had, every element of it was cooked to perfection, staff was friendly and service was fast and efficient.We will definitely be back!
We visited here while staying in the New Forest in January for an evening meal. They had just reopened that night and it was very quiet but it was mid week. The food was exceptional and my gluten free needs were easily accommodated for. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the chef came over
Wow! What incredible food! I had the hoisin duck and homemade chorizo salad, another member of our party had the beef wellington and the other had the crab. All were fantastic. I was unsure of the duck and chorizo combination but it worked really well.
It's not the fastest of services, but the food
My partner and I had an amazing meal here. Great attention to detail, and super friendly host. We will return soon!
Thank you for a wonderful evening! Everything was fantastic! I tried some of the wellington, wow!!
We took a day trip to the new forest with the mindset we specifically wanted to find an old, independent, local pub for food. And having spotted a tiny blackboard advertising a 10th century pub, we found this place! And what a cracking find. It's quite a way from the blackboard on the main road (an
Lovely thatched pub in the middle of the New Forest. I went with my family for a Sunday Roast on a mini break near Lymington. We sat in the pretty garden and were really pleased with the fantastic welcoming service. Our young family (4 year old and 4 month old) were very welcome and catered for. Our
Excellent evening enjoyed us and by my family visiting from Manhatten - they were very impressed. In spite of staff shortages they coped very well on a busy Saturday night. Well done Steve and the team.
Oldest pub in the New Forest, claims to have had beer sold on the site since 1090's, Landlords since 1400's listed. Originally a two room cottage, much extended over the centuries. Full of character. We received outstanding service when we called in for lunch. Food was very good if limited in range
1st time here; chose it as a lunchtime venue for our wedding anniversary. Disappointed that the full menu wasn't available, but Ben, more than made up for it with his suggestion of 'salt & pepper squid'....yummy. Will def return for their Sunday roast.
Wonderful olde world atmosphere in 10th century pub..lovely new owners, family run..very welcoming. Fresh tasty home cooked food..fabulous location to boot.
It says fine dining on the board outside. For a pub, it really is. Landlady v welcoming, goats cheese mousse, scallops and risotto all very good.
