mdearlove Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Can anyone recommend a pub/restaurant in the New Forest to take the Mother in Law for lunch? Nothing too fancy - a pub with excellent food would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Me and the Mrs ate at the Turfcutters Arms last year when we had a week in the New forest and it was head and shoulders above the other places we tried, it was cracking food and good service.

Mr_Red Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 The Woolpack in Sopley is pretty local to me. 1. I wouldn't consider it in the New Forest 2. Its not very good and overpriced 3. The Three Tuns in Bransgore is meant to be good, I used to think the High Corner was nice but I haven't been in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being ex bransdgore i can say the tuns is too expensive , the crown is cheaper but not so good food, the best bet is a sunday lunch at the carpenters arms, 8 quid including a pudding , very nice.

liquidsnake Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 http://www.whitleyridge.com/index.aspx# Truly outstanding place, and with the set lunches you can get (£15 - £20 for three courses, as opposed to their £60 tasting menu or whatever) it's amazing value for the quality you get.

saints_is_the_south Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 +1 on both the pubs in Ashurst. Turfcutters is also a good one. The Mill at Gordleton in Hordle is meant to be really good, never been though. The Walhampton Arms just outside Lymington on the road to Beaulieu is very nice too.

OldNick Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Great cheese board - normally 20+ to choose from. until you ask for an english cheese and then Claude goes off on one. The last time we went in there the waitress was miserable and only smiled and tried to be friendly when she brought the bill across hoping for a tip.Try the Chanteclerc in cadnam for a restaurant meal.

hamster Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Went to The Ship on Lymington Quay today. Very nice staff wise really lovely food. 5 *s from us. There are some really nice routes to Lymington too not least the Beaulieu route from Marchwood, you can stop and enjoy the ponies on the way. Even take a boat trip and buy some crabs straight from the quay if you want to make it rally special (is she from outside the area?). It was a lovely afternoon, a lovely meal and they sell Timothy Taylor ale (Madonna's favourite tipple). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdearlove Posted 6 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 6 July, 2009 Had a very nice meal at the Lamb Inn on Saturday. Luckily the rain stopped as soon as we got there so managed to have a nice walk in the forest too. Landlord is a bit gruff but food and beer are very good. Thanks for the suggestions - will try some of the others another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 4 August, 2009 Share Posted 4 August, 2009 Me and the Mrs ate at the Turfcutters Arms last year when we had a week in the New forest and it was head and shoulders above the other places we tried, it was cracking food and good service. I've eaten at a quite a few pubs in the New Forest over the years, many of which have been mentioned above, and all were pretty good, in their time, too. Recently, I went to the Turfcutters Arms, and it is all Ash has said of it. If you like like cracking food, good service, large portions, rustic and cosy surroundings, this is the place to go. I'll be going again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
