The Best Restaurants in Blashford, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

A lovely clean and well set out cottage. Lots of space, quiet and peaceful setting. Lovely welcome basket filled with goodies was a very nice touch and the hot tub was such a luxurious touch. Just the thing after a nice day exploring the surrounding area

Myself and my partner stayed here the night before and the night of our wedding, in one of their larger rooms which had a very comfy bed, huge bath and fantastic shower. The breakfast was really tasty, only downside is that it is only served 8-9am so we missed out on our second morning due to getting up too late! The farmhouse and grounds are very beautiful and the room itself was pleasantly decorated with tea and coffee, and fresh milk left for us each morning. I loved soaking in the huge bath tub (large enough for 2), I only wish we didn't have to leave so soon as I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would like!

Had a lovely stay at the Shires property, very clean and spacious. Hot tub was very popular. Nice quiet break away, easy access to the new forest.

If I could rate higher then I would! It was honestly the perfect getaway! The cottage had the perfect cosy feel to it! The bed was really comfy and throughout the cottage was spotless! Being able to relax in our own private hot tub overlooking the paddocks and listening to the donkeys! The heated floor was a lovely bonus, especially after coming in from a long walk! The surroundings were beautiful with so many walks to explore and lots of choice of where to eat! Thank you for having us! We will be back soon!

Where do we start!? The best cheese and wine around. Great staff, great atmosphere, fantastic cocktails and always welcoming (even at midnight!) We must support independent hospitality and it’s really top notch here.

Service was amazing from Thomas! Such a great vibe and food. Came over to pour our wine every time and food was exceptional. Thanks Thomas!

Absolutely beautiful! Amazing food, drink, atmosphere, and a very warm, welcoming from all staff. The new owners made me me welcome and introduced me to new tastes! Fantastic!

This is the best wine and cheese bar we’ve been too! It is such a lovely, relaxing atmosphere! The owners are so welcoming and friendly! The food is incredible- the cheese fondue was amazing- we’ve just been skiing in the alps and the fondue here was so much better!! They helped us pick red wines to our taste and we loved them, a very personalised, friendly experience! We will be back for sure! P.s Frank the dog is adorable.

Had a lovely meal there today with my daughter. To say the least I’ll definitely be going back again. The food was fantastic, I had the ribs and my daughter had the chicken burger the quality was fantastic, non of this thin stuff it was proper food and plenty of it. The ribs were out of this world I’ve yet to find and taste ribs like it. And the chicken burger not a thin slab of chicken but a proper wedge of chicken with chips that were awesome. Staff we’re very friendly and the whole place has a good vibe about it.

Every member of staff was helpful and absolutely lovely, cosy little pub with a great atmosphere. Came for our anniversary dinner got the amazing ribs and onion rings pictured, demolished the lot and I would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely local pub with fantastic food. Service was excellent and food arrived within 15 minutes of ordering. Alcohol selection was also good. Would highly recommend.

23rd February 2005. Just been for lunch a party of 6 adults and 1 child. Sunday roast was excellent and the service was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Just been tonight to celebrate my husbands 60th Birthday. What an amazing evening, the staff are so tentative. The food is outstanding as it always is. We celebrated my birthday last week there as well. How lovely that they played happy birthday music and everyone sang to him. Honestly can’t ever fault the food or service. Have been a few times now and every time is as good as the last. Well done team Gurkha an asset to Ringwood

We visited Gurkha Kitchen in Ringwood with a large group of about 30 people, spread across four tables. Despite the size of our group, the staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and managed everything without a hint of chaos. The food arrived quickly, hot, and was served very professionally. I ordered Indian dishes, and so did many of my friends—everything was excellent! I was pleasantly surprised, as I had expected them to excel at other Asian cuisines but wasn’t sure about Indian food. I was wrong! The korma, pilau rice and peshwari naan I had were outstanding. Not a single complaint from anyone in our group. Highly recommended! 5 stars.

What an amazing meal!!! The service was impeccable, Binit really looked after us and we could not have asked for a better service and food. Would recommend and cannot wait to return.

This place is absolutely Fantastic I cannot write how amazing this restaurant truly is, the staff are so attentive but let you enjoy your meal, they all know everything on the menu, our waitress even makes the tirimasu!!! The food is phenomenal, delicious and homemade!! The sign on the wall is perfect for the restaurant "come hungry, leave happy!!" Thank you guys we will be back!!

Very nice and cosy! Really lovely decor with a good atmosphere. Our waiter was very attentive and the service was very good. The food was lovely! Our desserts and Italian liqueur coffee 💕 Amazing! Thank you!

Lovely Italian restaurant tucked away in Ringwood’s town centre. Tony and his team were very attentive, service was fast and most of all the food is delicious. Will definitely be returning!

What a fabulous find. Just a few steps from the main road and parking. What an oasis of food, we only popped in for a coffee and ended up eating brocheta and a pizza between us. The .Manager was delightful. We are just moving to the area so will put this restaurant at the top of our list.

Amazing quality food with great selection of coeliac friendly food on the menu. Staff were also knowledgeable about coeliac disease so put everyone at ease that their food would be safe... Not to mention delicious.

Lovely bartender, amazing waitress- very friendly and helpful. The outside area is perfect year round with heaters and cover. There wasn’t a huge choice of craft beer when we went but we tried a couple and enjoyed them. The main standout aspect is the food!! The best burgers we have ever had, you could really taste how fresh the meat was and the sides were unique and really tasty. We went last minute on a Sunday lunch— you may have to book but it is so worth it. We would be happy to travel from Southampton just for the food!

Great quality food as always and polite staff, although the pub was quite cold and sadly the fire wasn’t lit.

This is my first time visiting here and I absolutely loved it. I had a Kogi pork cheese burger and my partner had a Animal burger. Both of them are one of the best burgers we’ve ever had. We shared a Korean fries too. It was lovely! I am a Korean and whenever I see something ‘Korean’ on the menu, most of the time it is disappointing. It definitely wasn’t the case this time. So lovely that I ordered another portion of Korean wings after finishing the burgers😂 The service was great too! We couldn’t ask her name cuz it was busy but she kindly explained the menu and checked if we needed anything. Will definitely visit again!

Oh my goodness, what a fabulous place. Lovely, warm welcome and fabulous food. We were a group of 8 and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Will definitely be back even though we live in Poole.

A party of 14 of us. Beautiful setting. Amazing staff with friendly service. Best food at any Indian restaurant we have been to. Set 2 course menu currently £28, however spent more with drinks. Always have an incredible experience. Thank you to Shad, Sarah and their team.

This was the first time we had come to this restaurant for my daughter’s birthday. It was a family meal 2 adults 4 children. It was a simplistic menu which was quite good as there wasn’t huge choice to cause you confusion. There was a set menu which was fine - but no kids set menu option. The starters came (asked for all vegetarian) it came with chicken & fish so it had to go back & come back again. It came back correctly and the starters were pleasant although some were still cold/frozen inside sadly and couldn’t really be enjoyed. Just to mention the dips and popadoms were very nice. The main meals came and the taste was very nice, well presented. We did feel when the bill came in at £200.00 just seemed quite steep for what we received. The set menu is pretty expensive especially as small children need to pick a set adult meal cost between 26/30£.

Great owners! They were busy setting up for the new year and were generous enough to give us suggestions around town for Indian food. But they said there is no Indian food like there’s! We will have to come back for dinner!

Our new favourite! We are becoming weekly visitors at this brilliant, great value addition to our town. Yes, the menu is perhaps simple - but the food is really great. Always hot, tasty, good sized portions and served with a smile. I must say we always ask to sit downstairs as the ambience is always better - upstairs is a bit cold. The staff value their customers and we love eating here. Welcome to our town!

Great food, great service. Plenty to eat as you share with the table bread and dips which creates a very family dinning feel. Friendly staff, and efficient timings. The atmosphere is very inviting, warm and cozy. Often it can be quite booked, so I would recommend to try and book in advance, it seems to be a popular restaurant of Ringwood currently. A little more pricey overall, but the quality and quantity of food makes it worthwhile.

We had a very good time. The food was so delicious and the staff very helpful. Thank you for the fabulous night!

Truly excellent. Fantastic food and great service in a lovely setting. The portions were generous and the dishes were delicious, particularly the shared mezze platter and the mixed grill. The staff also need a special mention as they were so helpful and friendly.

2 night stay in Double room with garden access. Lovelly old world hotel. Fantastic staff, really welcoming & happy. Breakfast was very good both in the dining room & when brought by room service. Hotel dinner was tasty and enjoyably. The deer herd paid a visit to top off a great stay. We will definitely come back to stay.

We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday here. ( 24 people) Kimberley, the events manager was very helpful and understanding of our needs. On the day Anthony looked after us very well and accommodated us when we needed a vegetarian option at short notice and looked after our guest who needed everything gluten free. The service and the food was wonderful and we would highly recommend this venue.

Extremely welcoming staff; delicious food - creative and beautifully presented as well as filling and tasty! The management seem v aware that being understaffed over the Christmas period occasionally led to sub-standard service and they have been working really hard to rectify this - I couldn't fault them. It was well worth the visit. Big thanks from a happy local!

A great place to meet with friends and family. The venue is up to date and modern. Food pricing is spot on, healthy portion sizes and good reliable service. We visited the same company in Birmingham and where also impressed. Would return and would recommend. A great restaurant for the local area.

Had a really nice evening here tonight. Really lovely menu, so much choice and very affordable. Staff were lovely. There was some confusion as to whether we could order from the Christmas menu or not, and the staff resolved it so nicely. Thank you. Definitely returning.

I have nothing but compliments for this place ! The concept is brilliant. You can feel the relaxed atmosphere and it is great when you have people who like to eat different styles of food. My food tasted amazing and was great for brunch because of the small portions. Great addition to Ringwood. If you want a sensory reduced experience the upstairs is great and you can order via a QR code for minimal human contact.
