The team really made my daughter&rsquo;s day special with a surprise cake and a little song. It was a lovely touch. The food, as always, was full of flavour and you can tell it&rsquo;s made with care.

The French onion soup was really rich, and the monkfish tail had this great sauce. But honestly, what stuck with me was the room itself &ndash; the lighting was so soft and the chairs were actually comfortable for a long dinner. Just a nice, relaxed spot.

Focused menu, creative dishes. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Had a quick lunch there, food came out fast. Solid spot for a good bite.

As a coeliac, I really appreciated the care here. They have separate equipment for gluten-free prep, which is a huge relief. Felt safe ordering, and nearly everything on the menu was an option for me.

Been coming here for years, and the halibut and chips is always spot on. Huge portion, cooked perfectly. Even on a busy Friday, they found us a table on the lawn. That consistency is why I keep coming back.

The homemade pies and cakes are solid. You can tell they&#39;re made with care. Had the apple pie, crust was good, not too sweet. A decent spot for a quick dessert.

First time trying their lamb shank. It was so tender it just fell apart, with this deep, rich flavour that wasn&#39;t too heavy. Really hit the spot on a chilly evening.

Nice little pub just outside Lyndhurst. Had the ploughman&#39;s lunch - it was huge and really hit the spot. A solid choice for a proper, filling meal.

Stumbled upon this place on a New Forest walk. The puttenesca pasta really stood out &ndash; loved the salty kick from the capers and anchovies. Portions were generous too.

The staff were so kind about the ice cream mishap. They just brought a fresh one over with a smile, no questions asked. Really appreciated that.

Popped in for a late breakfast. The food was fresh and well-prepared. Their iced coffee was spot on&mdash;really hit the mark with a full, rich flavour that paired nicely with the meal. Solid value for what you get.

Keep coming back for the pies, they&#39;ve got real character. The space itself is clean and has a nice, relaxed vibe that just works. It&#39;s the kind of place you can settle into.

Nice little pub with a garden for the kids to run around in. The climbing frame kept mine entertained for ages while we had a quiet pint. Hosts were really friendly too.

The owners are so lovely. But what keeps me coming back is the freshness of the ingredients. You can really taste it in the simple salads and grilled fish. Everything feels clean and thoughtfully prepared.

Popped in for breakfast. Family-run spot, staff were really friendly. The full English was spot on, proper sausages and eggs just right. Bit of a trek to get here, but the food made it worthwhile.

Great spot for a catch-up with mates. The sofas by the fire are so comfy for a proper chat. 🍻

The homemade scones were spot on. Really generous with the clotted cream. Just a lovely, simple cream tea.

Decent pub food. The crab and prawn spaghetti was pretty good, and the portions are generous for the price.

Great spot for a quick bite by the sea. Crab sandwich was fresh and tasty. Got it to go, service was fast. Outdoor tables looked clean. Perfect for a short lunch break.

Popped in after a walk along Chesil Beach. The location is spot on, right by the promenade. Had the fish and chips. Portion was decent for the price, not stingy. A solid choice if you&#39;re after a proper meal without breaking the bank.

Lasagne was spot on, hot and hearty. Perfect for a quick lunch. English breakfast looked good too, might try that next time. Service was quick, in and out in under 30 mins.

Solid Sunday roast. Gravy was spot on. Two courses for under &pound;11. Good portions. Nice vibe for a Sunday.

Lovely spot to warm up on a chilly day. The terrace and garden must be great in summer, but the inside space was bright and cosy. Just what we needed.

The burger patty is cooked fresh, so there&#39;s a bit of a wait. But you can taste the difference. Juicy, with a proper sear on the outside. The bun holds up well, doesn&#39;t get soggy. Worth the extra few minutes.

Free overnight parking for campervans if you eat here. That&#39;s the main draw for us. Food was decent pub grub, nothing fancy. Did the job after a long day exploring the castle.

The food presentation was spot on, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff&#39;s warmth really added to the evening. I did wish the wine list had a few more interesting local options to pair with the rich flavours, though.

Lovely spot to bring the pup! They had water bowls ready outside which was a nice touch. Spent a sunny afternoon in the beer garden, the parasols were a lifesaver. Just a heads up, it got pretty busy later on.
