The pistachio ice cream was the best part for me. They serve it with a dollop of cream on top. The flavour is so rich and genuine, just like proper gelato you&#39;d get in Italy. Really enjoyed it.

Good portions for the price, and a huge menu to choose from. The vibe was just right&mdash;really relaxed and friendly.

Came for the afternoon tea with friends. The little savoury tarts were so good, and the cheesecake that looked like a flower pot was a fun surprise! A really nice spot for a long catch-up.

Great little family-run pub. We had our wedding party here, and it was just right for that. The beer selection is really strong &ndash; tried a few local ales that were spot on. The team handled our group smoothly.

Nice spot by the water. The fish and chips were pretty good, fresh and quick. A bit pricey, but fine for the location.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

The mussels and pasta were spot on. A minor quibble &ndash; the mozzarella starter. The tomatoes were a bit bland, even for winter. A glass of crisp white wine would have really lifted that dish.

Isa&#39;s service was personal and efficient. She even sang happy birthday. The food is some of the best on the promenade.

The chicken burger&#39;s only &pound;3, which is a steal these days. Went for the medium spice, and the chicken was actually juicy, not dry at all. Solid choice for a quick bite.

Rob was a good server, friendly and chatty. He took the nut allergy very seriously which was appreciated. The vegan teriyaki chicken was pretty tasty. A solid meal overall.

The 0.0% Prosecco was a lifesaver for me tonight! Me and the girls were catching up, and it was so nice to have a proper fizzy option that wasn&#39;t just juice. Felt like I was part of the toast.

Stopped by for lunch. The fish was super fresh, and the plating was really pretty. Service was quick and polite. Nice spot.

You can watch them batter and fry the fish fresh for each order. It&rsquo;s not sitting under a heat lamp. That makes all the difference, honestly. The quality is just spot on.

Nidia was a fantastic waitress. She kept checking in without being overbearing, and our food came out really fast. That kind of attentive service makes a meal so much more relaxed.

Rakesh knows the menu inside out. He helped me pick something that wasn&#39;t too spicy, which was perfect.

Had the bibimbap here last night. The vegetables were so fresh and crisp, and the gochujang had a nice kick without being overpowering. Really appreciated the wholesome ingredients. The staff were lovely too.

The hand-cut chips were the highlight for me. They had a lovely crispy outside and a soft, fluffy centre. You can tell they use fresh potatoes, which is so important. A really good example of a simple dish done well.
