Had driven past this lovely pub several times in the past and often wondered what it would be like to have a meal there. Yesterday, we did stop, and what a lovely experience. The food was excellent. Lovely friendly staff, and great service. We will certainly come again when we are in the area.
What a gorgeous pub! We were amazed by the look of the pub at first sight. Their interiors were well thought of too. You have cosy nooks, comfortable seating and a beautiful garden too. We had a birthday lunch and it was very thoughtful of the team to put a banner for us. It made the meal all the more special. We ordered the beetroot carpaccio as a starter, oyster mushroom, tomato pasta and shepherd's pie for main and crumble for dessert. Every course was absolutely delicious! The pie was one of the best I've eaten. Very lovely staff, manager and service. I can't wait to visit again.
Had an amazingly delicious meal here. Ended up going for the calves liver which was perfectly cooked, with a mouthwatering port and onion jus. Our other meals were faultless, and very well presented. We were also very impressed with the level of service, as the staff were extremely welcoming, and even provided our pup with his own bowl of water and a cosy spot by the fireplace. One of our guests also has special dietary requirements, which the chef had very kindly accommodated…and, not to mention the pleasant greeting from the horses and donkeys outside this pretty thatched pub. Would highly recommend a visit
Met a friend here as a halfway point catch up and decided to get some food.
I can honestly say one of the best burgers I have ever eaten, everything included the bun had looked like it had been made from scratch and it was stunning.
Staff were super friendly, pub felt warm and cozy and the surroundings are beautiful.
I am recommending this pub to friends and family alike and it will fast become my go to for new forest adventures!
Excellent friendly staff. Pub is located in a lovely village setting. Perfect place for a pint and enjoy the atmosphere
The staff were amazing., the gluten free seafood platter outstanding and the beer was delicious. Lovely atmosphere with dogs and children welcome, chilled music and great views. Look no further if you’re looking for a quick pit stop or somewhere to set up for the evening!
This is one of the best pubs we've been to. The garden is stunning, we saw a herd of deer crossing before we left to go back home!
The staff were very attentive and such lovely people and the food was stunning.
I highly recommend this place
Popped in after a lovely morning walk in the New Forest. Beautiful thatched building with pretty gardens. Friendly staff, amazing food, a little pricey, but you get what you pay for!!!
Will definitely be returning if visit the New Forest again!
Great country pub in an idyllic location. Walk distance from Flaxfield House (where we stayed).
No food so cannot review that aspect. Great hosts and fantastic location to enjoy the garden dining. Well worth a visit to sample the drinks and or food! My only comment for improvement would be to encourage cyclists to stop with a proper security rack rather than merely have an unwelcome sign stating 'no cycles beyond this point'...get positive people! You are on a v busy cycle route and are missing an opportunity by not being more positive and welcoming cyclists with more provision. 'Cyclists welcome'!
