A really lovely place with delicious food. Very friendly staff, all happy to help. They went above and beyond with recommendations and help to ensure I had the best experience. The poppadums, okra and garlic mushrooms were delicious. The Butter Mango vegetable curry was so good too - it tasted better than it looked from my rubbish photo!

Hidden gem in New Milton: our first visit to this restaurant which is really well appointed and serves a very varied menu to an excellent level of both presentation and taste. A very enjoyable experience which we will certainly be repeating. Thank you Mac for great food and a great place. See you again soon! Nick

This is a different kind of Indian food—it's truly next level! Unlike artificial Indian restaurants, Dark Saffron offers a unique experience that you just have to try. We highly recommend it to everyone. We are very happy with our meal and will definitely be back, even though we're not local. If we were local, it would be great luck, but we'll definitely return. You can get curry anywhere, but this is next-level curry, mate. Highly recommended! Good luck, Dark Saffron. Thank you very much!

ā€œA delightful experience. Owner and head chef, Gavin Barnes, met us before the meal and explained his ethos of using the best ingredients, and where possible sourced locally. He will not compromise on quality. Gavin trained under and has worked alongside some of the greatest chefs in the business and this manifests in the dishes he delivers. If you enjoy really good food I cannot recommend the Highstreet Kitchen enough. Treat yourself.ā€

ā€œFor our first and only time experience, with the Oaks, last Sunday, 11th August 2024, this place is definitely a real find and worth going back for more...and not just for seconds!! Our party of 11 (9 adults and two children) was accommodated at short notice with a phone call the same morning. The place is massive and very spacious inside and out. Great layout. For our size party they gave us bench seats in the garden under a huge canopy (good cover in any weather). The food options were great and varied, and tasty. Most of us opted for the roast. Huge yorky puds, along with tastefully presented meals. They also accommodated our requests for more roasties, puds and gravy. The desserts were sublime and I tried a mint choc souffle with choc ice cream. All gratefully appreciated. No disappointments and the service was first rate too. Attentive and personal. Noted for next time when staying/visiting the New Forest area. Great entertainment for family and kids too with the beer garden games and furniture.ā€

ā€œWe had a lovely Bank Holiday afternoon at The Rising Sun. The welcome was friendly and the service was great, a special mention to Sally, who looked after us! They have three areas that you can sit, the restaurant and have table service, or the lovely garden with large playground or in the bar area. If you choose the garden or bar you need to order your food at the bar, the restaurant is table service. There is also an opportunity to have pizzas cooked from their outside pizza oven! The menu was good. I only gave four stars for food as we thought the burger was a little over priced! As you see from my previous posts my son does like his burgers! The fish & scampi were delicious šŸ˜‹ā€
