Reviews
Excellent food, best roast dinner I have had in a long time. The atmosphere was good and the staff were fantastic.
Really nice food, big portions and not over priced. Dog friendly and has a massive garden with lots of seating. Will definitely be going back when next in the new forest. Was lovely seeing the wild horses out the front and then donkeys out there when we left.
Quiet village pub which we stumbled across for an evening meal whilst staying down in the new forest.
Gotta say the food here was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
