This place never disappoints, we have worked our way through the menu twice and will keep going back. There is ample outdoor seating and a small amount of cosy indoor seating with log fires. The portions are good and everything is fresh and local. There is a good selection for kids but nothing deep-fried, so be cautious if taking a picky child. The beer selection is outstanding, lots of local beers in rotation. Staff are always friendly and the service is really good. If the weather is nice it will be busy, so go early or a little after lunchtime as they are so popular they don't take reservations. There's a good amount of parking around and there are great walks in the immediate area the walk of lunch. They are dog friendly as you would expect, I couldn't recommend this place enough.

Lovely pub. On edge of New Forest. Very Close to good walking. Real Ales and ploughman speciality. Plates could have been bigger for the lovely food served. That is the only criticism- otherwise a lovely experience. Recommended.

This place is ALWAYS busy and it’s easy to see why. Food wise, they only serve ploughman’s. But if you’re going to do one thing - then you do it really well! Lovely homemade pickle, dressing, pickled onion and coleslaw. Delish ham, pork pies and sausage rolls. Lots of beers and lagers on tap. Interesting Gins like mermaid gin. I believe they try to source everything locally and you can taste the quality. The perfect pub to walk through the new forest and enjoy a pint afterwards.

Very atmospheric pub at the end of the road. Good selection of beers, and knowledgeable staff that can give beer advice. Sheds in the garden may need improving as they are downgrading the view of the pub from this perspective. Beer in the garden still tastes the same though. 😉

Fantastic ploughman’s, the pork pie is hands down best I’ve ever had 😋 huge portions 😳 lovely friendly staff, super dog friendly, fantastic pit stop, tempted to book the shepherds hut so I can ditch the car on the next visit 🍻
