“A 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.”

Beautiful. Came over from Spain at the weekend to take my Nan here for her birthday. Spoke to the chef before going that week and asked what would be on the menu and he said depending on the day as we get everything locally, which I thought was fab and even better. Made the booking on Saturday and I must say we both really enjoy it, the seating are atmosphere, staff and the food was amazing and good portion and beautifully presented. I will be sure going back again when I return to the UK. Thank you so much.

Fantastic lunch spot. The service was spot-on. Attentive but not intrusive. Very warm and welcoming without over-doing it. And the food, oh my. The food was out of this world. The most tender chicken, the dept of flavours on the gravy, the sweetness of the cabbage… just phenomenal! My wife had the steak w/ asparagus and garlic butter and it did not disappoint. The portion size is veery generous and all the garnishes and fixings were delicious. We’ve had worse in proper steakhouses local to us. The fact that only the best local produce is being served and all the love and passion invested really shows. Do yourself a favour and have a look at the wine on offer and ask for advice if you need to. Both great new world and old world options that will cater for everyone. This was a party of 4 that just walked up without booking and the team said yes with a big smile. Thank you all for our great lunch. Memories were made around that table.

Cosy, quaint and easy to see why it's so popular with the locals. A tasty Lounges breakfast with excellent coffee .. really hit the spot. The home made carrot cake followed and took freshness to a new level. Great service came as standard. Visiting Lymington?.. don't miss a visit to Lounges 👍🏻

If you are looking for somewhere for a romantic date night or somewhere to go for a phenomenal meal, look no where else but here. Attentive staff, amazing fresh food, accommodating to allergies, light and fresh atmosphere. Only grip would be not prompting for a card tip, who carries cash anymore. Will return when next over this way! Highly recommended...

“Great people and tasty food and loved the atmosphere but a little rushed through the first couple of courses so had to slow down a bit to send a message. One little downfall is just the w/c could do with bringing up to the standard of the service and food”

“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!”

“Service is very good, nice and attentive, they give you the option for service charge (now adding to the bill is very important to me). The atmosphere is great, you feel into a small old pub, food is ok. Creative, good presentation, should have come warmer though.”

“Absolutely fantastic lunch. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The food both looked and tasted amazing. We had 3 courses, and it would be hard to choose which was our favourite, as the whole meal was faultless, and exceeded our expectations. The location is just off the main street, and is a hidden gem.”

“Discovered this gem whilst visiting the New Forest. Was recommended to us, and for good reason. We dropped in mid week for dinner and immediately felt welcome. Definitely feels like a pub that's used by locals, but not one where strangers are made to feel unwelcome. Staff were warm, welcoming and professional. Food was great... Lovely balance of quality and just enough to leave us satisfied but without feeling uncomfortable. The vibe is great with a choice of the more restaurant side or the pub side (which is where we positioned ourselves). As we're moving into the area next year, this week certainly be one of our regular places to enjoy an evening. Thanks to all at MB. Bob”

“Went as part of a group for a set, two course Christmas Dinner. The main course was lovely, very tasty and nicely presented. The two options for desert looked lovely, but due to dietary restrictions I could eat neither. I was offered a small cheeseboard which was lovely, then charged £4 for it. I don't think this is fair as I'd already paid for the two set courses which included a desert. I and two other people were also asked to pay for tea infusions whereas coffee was included in the cost of the meal. I love going to the Cliff House, the staff are terrific and it's in a great position. However, I do think that folk who can't eat deserts on a set menu or drink tea are treated unfairly.”

“Went for Sunday lunch and luckily I booked before going as it was packed. Beautiful old building with bags of history and great atmosphere. The food was amazing. Truly one of the best lamb roast dinners I have ever had. Party of 6 people and we all left super full and happy. Would recommend to all if you want great food at a good price.”

“Great restaurant with food sourced from within 25 miles. Lots of wine available and also beer and cocktail menus. The staff are very attentive and service is excellent. It gets very busy and bookings are essential. The only drawback is the restaurant area gets very loud due to being in an old orangery, making it difficult to hear when it's busy with large groups. But there are quieter areas which could be requested.”

“Our 1st time here. Excellent from start to finish. They went out of their way to fit us in, 6 adults and a dog. All of us said it was the best roast dinner we had had in a long time. The service was excellent, such lovely people. They were absolutely fine about us bringing a birthday cake and them bringing it out with candles & singing! Great live music, and a nice walk from our holiday accommodation. They definitely deserve 5 stars.”
