“Had a delicious lunch here today. Our server was excellent, friendly and efficient. The food was amazing - we weren’t sure how many sharing plates to order but the server gave good advice that we had the right amount and in the end that was spot on. Would definitely come again for a breakfast or a dinner as well.”

Visited here today for the first time. Had a great breakfast. It's a great space, with an open bar and kitchen. The staff were very welcoming, there is a good food and drink selection and I highly recommend the sausages! We will definitely be back soon.

Today I had my very first experience at 'The Tap Bar' in Ringwood it exceeded my expectations. I ordered a lovely Latte and being a coffee connoisseur I was not disappointed when I was served a beautiful tall latte of great coffee quality. I am powered by coffee as I am a regular remote worker often working from multiple different locations during an average week. I then proceeded to check out their delicious breakfast menu and I ordered the 'Little Tap' breakfast option which was very yummy indeed. The concept of 'Farm to Plate' is delivered perfectly with delicious premium sausages and bacon and lovely fresh poached eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms. I enjoyed every single bite! I look forward to returning very soon and supporting this lovely new venue here in Ringwood. If you are looking for a friendly, relaxed environment with quality coffee and delicious fresh food I highly recommend 'The Tap Bar & Restaurant' for you and your friends and loved ones. Thank you for the excellent service and delightful brunch experience I look forward to visiting again very soon! Warm Regards, Your Loyal Customer Bunny xx 🐰💕🤗

My friend and I had a lovely evening at Tap Bar & Restaurant. The food was delicious, especially the Jerk pulled chicken and Chorizo in red wine. The cocktails were lovely, I'll have a few more next time! Staff are great, really friendly. 100% recommend, and looking forward to returning. Thanks guys 😁

“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.”

“I really enjoyed my mussels and pasta! A bit of feedback would be to serve the mozzarella with better tomatoes - even in winter in the U.K. one can get ones with some flavour ☺️”

“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.”

The ElmTree

“We had spent some time wondering at the country park and decided that we would have a late pub lunch / dinner - opting as we was passing, on the Elm Tree. A few pot holes getting into the car park, and the car park didn't seem too busy... which was promising for a table. When we got in, we ended up sitting in the bar area as opposed to the restaurant as it was fully booked - no surprise really last minute on a Sunday. The menu wasn't particularly clear about kids meals on a Sunday (it mentioned kids Sunday lunch not any others) this was clarified by the bar staff as they had 'small plates'... although kids meals (or small plates) are a shocking £10! (One had burger and chips, the other fish and chips). The wife and myself had roasts, which were pretty good - albeit ours came out towards the kids finishing theirs. Credit to the staff as we had a chap apologise there had been a mix up, and the manager (I assume) offered us a free drink at the end as well. Overall, it was OK, I was tempted to score 3 stars due to the meal and wait issue, but I was impressed that they acknowledged it without being prompted, so feel that 4 stars is justified. A bit quicker cleaning tables (I took bits off and gave them to bar when we got seated), some improvements to the menu (particularly for kids - and pricing for kids) and perhaps make the drive into parking a little smoother and then heading in right direction to the 5 stars...”
