As luck would have it the traffic into Lyndhurst was fairly heavy and we had plenty of time to notice the brown pub sign at the side of the road that pointed to this (slightly)hidden gem. It is only a few hundred yards off the main road but invisible unless you do leave the main road. The pub is an... More

1st course soup had inedible fibrous bits in it I had to keep spitting out, taste was ok though. 2nd course risotto had been cooked to death and was mush. Salad was dry and bitter with no dressing or anything. Partners lasagne was ok. Nothing great.

This pub is somewhat tucked away but it's worth seeking out. It has a beautiful garden hidden at the back and also cosy inside and we were very happy with the food. Good value for money too.

Last night my wife an I both enjoyed a very good pub meal. It was not crowded for a Monday night but still had plenty of diners. The pub had a good atmosphere and had lots of little nooks and crannies. Plenty of space outside for warmer evenings.

Was recommended for great food but not convinced. Everything was quite greasy and the burgers were pretty cheap tasting. We went twice and the first time started okay but took forever to get the bill and then have someone come round with the credit card machine. The second time took over 45 minutes to bring our food. Not great with... More

Had a wonderful 3 course meal at this beautiful pub. I would highly recommend this in an area where competition is very strong

Large friendly pub with interesting menu; not just run of the mill pub fare. Prompt and courteous service both at the bar and from the waitresses.

We have been eating in this pub for many years. Whilst the food is not cheap we have always been happy to pay the prices. We have considered it a family treat whilst on our holidays. However on this occasion the food was awful. I csn only assume there is a different chef. We will never be coming back again.

Sunday, 8th April We pulled into this place as the queue driving into Lyndhurst was too long. Walked in the back, and had a table x2. Casual atmosphere, orders taken quickly. A good menu, lots of variety. The Sunday roasts looked good coming out of the kitchen - I wish I had ordered one. Went for Coq au vin, was... More
