Surrounded by vast open heath, think roaring log fires in winter, beautiful gardens in summer, and wild New Forest ponies and donkeys wandering by outside all year round. Centrally-located in the New Forest National Park, we’re the perfect base in which to explore with endless quiet walks and miles of off-road cycle paths from the door.
Menus at our pub near Lyndhurst are bursting with great British classics – plus a few delicious surprises – and our breakfasts are the best we know. From coffees to cocktails and lunches to late suppers, we use the best seasonal ingredients from local farmers and producers wherever possible. Not to mention, proud members of the New Forest Marque. We truly are one of the best places to eat in the New Forest.
Children and dog-friendly, we have a brilliant children’s menu, an outdoor play area and colouring activities to keep the little ones occupied, and for dogs; towels for muddy paws, delicious doggy biscuits and water bowls for your thirsty four-legged friends after a long walk.
Open from breakfast to bedtime, imagine modern British classics, handmade burgers, tempting sharing boards, deliciously nutritious salads and proper puddings, all freshly prepared using locally-sourced ingredients from local farmers and producers to bring you the best flavours of the forest. We really are one of the best places to eat in the New Forest.
