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

Nice venue, friendly staff. Didn't get to try the food but what I saw go out looked great. Good value and situated close to the train station. Will definitely be revisiting.

I wasn't convinced about this pub because of the UPVC door entrance and slightly outdated appearance but is was so wrong! The bar staff were so lovely and friendly and the food was awesome. Properly homemade, very generous portions and super tasty. Would TOTALLY recommend! And great value too.

Always had good service here. Food is always tasty with good portions and value for money. Can't wait for better weather so we can spend longer sitting outside with a cold cider

Nice pub conveniently located near the station. They have a large outdoor area, perfect for nice evenings and a relaxing stop on the way back from a hike in the New Forest.

Just went to have a drink and look around. Staff all so amazingly helpful and pleasant with nothing too much trouble. The duty manager showed us a range of beautifully appointed rooms. Also the spa staff similarly showed us all that they had to offer. Cocktails lovely too

We absolutely loved our one night stay at Lime Wood, celebrating my wife's 40th Birthday! We had very high expectations but they were exceeded! The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, including the lady who checked us in and the fantastic sommelier in training. The spa was very relaxing and varied enough not to get bored. The best part was the quality of the food. The breakfast is up there with the best we've had at hotels, and the restaurant was absolutely superb, one of our favourite meals of this year. We can't wait to return!

There is a reason the Lime Wood is a 5* hotel as the service, rooms, food, staff, spa, location, and everything else that comes with it are top-notch. The luxury of prestine service in a superb setting without being pretentious with it. The dress code is relaxed and the added bonus of a luxury spa on site for various treatments.

Visited Limewood for a glorious afternoon tea. The sandwiches & cakes were amazing. The staff were so friendly and the service was top notch. There was plenty for two but always more is available. The surroundings and atmosphere was lovely.

Incredible experience from start to finish in this truly unique hotel in the heart of the New Forest. The location is breathtaking, service faultless and hotel has so much character. Really nice touch that the hotel put a balloon, card and banner in the room when I mentioned in the booking notes it was my wife's birthday. Not something you get often. Dinner in the conservatory and breakfast in the Armada were brilliant.

I went with my husband today and we had our coffee there. It’s just AMAZING the way it’s presented with that nice biscuit and the taste!!!! I love it so much. The gentleman from Spain called Angel who served us the coffee was super amazing. Thank you so much angel for making our afternoon. It’s really nice. We had a walk around and this please just amazing.

Afternoon Tea yesterday as a birthday treat from my sister. A superb tea in a beautiful location. The best of it all was the service from our charming waiter who was polite, friendly and utterly charming. He really needs special praise. Service was slick and the food amazing and we cannot wait to return. (Table 8)

Perfectly tucked in the New Forest, this hotel provides everything you’d want for a weekend escape from the city buzz. It was our first trip with our newborn, so we booked the Walker Suite for extra space and comfort. Spectacular. We used their indoor pool, which had children allocated times for us to enjoy with our baby. Very well kept. Mention a side is the restaurant operation which is magnificent. From their lush Sunday lunch, to the wide range breakfast selection, I couldn’t fault anything. A cheeky glass of fizz in the lounge in front their lit up pond is something id recommend anybody to try. The true secret of this place is the service and the staff though, who looked after us so well, and were kind at every single turn. Special mention to the Armada restaurant staff member Oliver, a true ambassador of 5-star hospitality. I’ve been in hospitality for 20 years, and I can tell you: these people really care about you. Well done.

Lovely place with great staff, food was good and very reasonably priced, decor was great fun!!

Lovely atmosphere and luckily the weather was so nice - came here after a long hiking trip and the duck was fabulous. Local cider from Normandy is highly recommended 👌 loved the icecream. I think it could be cheaper maybe.

I loved the restaurant and the vibes the moment I walked in… Sorry literally did a photo video dump of what I had and experience whilst at the Spa retreat as a small bday treat to myself. Such a beautiful restaurant and lovely staff. If you come in via the hotel entrance it was the most wonderful immersion before the wonderfully delicious food! The Emmental Choix Buns were recommended when I gave them the few amuse bouche that I wanted to try. They were delicious! (If you like and can eat cheese). I then went for the lobster soup which was very flavoursome. Wasn’t sure what I was meant to do with the mayo but as you can see from the photos… I did my usual thing of experimenting… I trusted the mix of flavours presented to me and put them together. I’m a believer that when there’s all sorts on a plate, you should try eating all flavours together to taste or for that course. I was pretty much set on main until I got to the restaurant but I decided to go for (Marle?) their fish option which was perfectly cooked. To finish, I had a yummy liquid dessert which was similar to a Sauternes but even better as it was slightly less sweet. If you stay at Carey’s I highly recommend visiting this restaurant, their spa and other restaurants. The staff throughout the hotel were also lovely and friendly from reception to the lovely staff who prepped our room and the bar staff (even when tenet were busy).

An Absolutely Fantastic Evening in the Restaurant whilst staying at Carey Manor Hotels. The Onion Soup and Mushroom starters were delicious! Also not forgetting the very tasty Chicken main course! The Staff here are also brilliant and one of the guys serving is very funny and kept making us laugh! 5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Plus Rating!

Lovely sea food sharing platter. Came out quick and hot. Cost £19.50. We sat in the beer garden behind which was lovely in the sun. Inside was clean only problem there are steps to bar and toilets so not very good if you have a wheelchair. There's a pool table and wall mounted tvs.

Incredible hot stone experience. The steak was impeccable and will definitely be coming back to doing this again! House ale (OpenFace) was lovely also.

Delicious food. The hot stone was brilliant way to eat. Really good size portions. Dog friendly. Couldn’t be tastier and well priced. Hidden gem.

The Commoners Bar - in my travels, this would also be at home somewhere in Czechia or Germany. Stylish interior with industrial type lighting. Spacious with a great atmosphere. Welcomed by friendly bar staff member Lana from Ukraine, passionate. Setting up a bar-tab was no problems as we were sitting inside. High tables with high stools for 2 to 4 people, normal height tables too and comfy sofas in the front. Plenty of electrical points for those wishing to charge or use their electronic devices with free wifi. The bar, an impressive array of wines and top shelf. Cider, lager and a guest ale, Hicks, at 5%. Nicely chilled (but not too much) and not too hoppy. Looking at the menu, the prices were reasonable, not outlandish. Grazing boards, pizzas, something for the little ones, sides, buns and wraps. I opted for a burger that was served in a ciabatta bun and not brioche. Partner opted for ham, egg and chips. Both were exceptionally good. Our bill came in under £50 for drinks, sharers plate and 2 main courses. A rarerity round here. Definately coming back and suggest others visit too. Their drinks menu is one to read. Definately worth coming into this bar in Brockenhurst, relaxed, welcoming and not over-priced. Was very impressed their loos especially the disabled. Clean and functional.

If you are hiking around the New Forest or just having a time off in Brockenhurt, a must to do is going to the Commoners. It's easy to find in one of the principal streets. That's one reason why is so popular, but is more than that. The atmosphere is friendly and good and drinks are great. I was there twice, one just for a beer (Guinness, obviously) and the second one for dinner are riding the bike a few hours. I wanted to taste a traditional British Sunday roast and I booked one day before (just in case). It was as delicious as I expected. Well served and well done. Congratulations and thanks to the people, I felt like surrounded by friends and family.

Excellent quality food good value at £10 for a Sunday roast. They serve it every day fresh. It was served hot by the friendly staff and there was plenty of it. Would highly recommend. You can take dogs in the beer garden

We visited for a business meeting, dinner and overnight stay. Service and staff are wonderful and the dinner menu was excellent, with superb food. Amazing location, stunning rooms and excellent quality breakfast. We had a superb time and will be returning.

Today my husband and I redeemed an afternoon tea for two voucher that I had been gifted for my birthday last August. On arrival for the booking we were greeted by a lovely, friendly young lady who, after checking our booking showed us to our table. The atmosphere in the lounge area where we were seated had a warm, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. When the afternoon tea selection was brought to our table, the waitress politely explained the selection presented. We didn't feel at all rushed and felt comfortable enjoying the delicious array of treats at our own pace, enjoying the comfortable surroundings. Refills for our drinks were dealt with promptly, as was our request for a box to take home what we couldn't eat! The service we received from the four individual members of staff, two male, two female was nothing short of exceptional. These staff members are a credit to the hotel. Thank you for making my belated birthday treat so enjoyable. We will be back.

Had very nice stay over the weekend, room was just redone and was amazing. The dog was very welcome and was given a treat and a dog bed with a voucher for a sausage from breakfast. Dinner was absolutely amazing although the service took slightly longer than expected. The location is beautiful with lots of good dog walks. The pool and spa was great however the sauna did look slightly more like a shed than a sauna. Overall lovely stay and would love to come back

Stayed at the Inn for two nights, staff were very welcoming! Room was presented well with a big comfy bed and great bathroom facilities. Breakfast was delicious, we’d highly recommend the Eggs Royale, was sublime! Also had a lovely roast one evening too! The location was perfect, right on the outskirts of the forest and straight off the main road! Also our dog loved the Inn too! Would we stay here again, Absolutely!

Second time we have stayed here. Truly dog friendly. Good size room, large comfortable bed, had everything you could want, as well as great shower. A good selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolate in room. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food in the evening was really good quality, I had the crab ravioli which I would highly recommend. For breakfast I had the toasted muffin with scrambled egg and salmon, it was faultless, really top quality salmon. Will defiantly return.

The whole experience at the Filly was perfect. Great atmosphere and location. The staff all seemed to enjoy working there and were positive, efficient and very welcoming. Room was a good size, had great walk-in shower and very comfy bed. There was a really good selection of teas and coffees. Also the selection of toiletries and extra items, such as razor, toothbrush and pillow mist, was excellent. We booked for three nights B&B and the breakfasts were excellent. Quality sausages and bacon, poached eggs were perfect and scrambled eggs were rich and creamy. We ate there for the three evenings and again food consistently tasty and of good quality. Slow braised lamb shepherds pie was so rich and tasty. Also the cherry compote with ice cream and waffles was so good I had it two evenings! Definitely a place to visit, location perfect for getting bus if you just want to leave car there. Bus straight through to Southampton in hour.

Popped in for Sunday lunch, warm welcome as we arrived. Restaurant is being renovated and looks amazing. Can't wait to come back and see it when its all finished. Amazing roast pork followed by the best crumble I've tasted in years. Will be back to try more from your main menu.

We booked the Hunstman for a post wedding celebration. We had 150 friends and family join us for a party and Anna and Boyd and their team really looked after us and made the day incredibly special. Before the event their communication was great. They were really flexible when our numbers were changing and their suggestions on how to run the event best were really on-point and helped us make the most of the day. All the food served was great and the bar staff smashed the cocktails out to great effect. The DJ they recommended went down a treat and all-in-all the day was even better than we could ever have expected. Thanks guys!

Following a February sunny day on the beach we wanted a dog friendly place to eat and really fancied a proper Sunday roast. A quick search and rating put our eye on The Huntsman and reading the description of menu we set our sights here. In short did not disappoint and the kids [dogs] were made very welcome too.
