| Its an old fashioned pub, a small bar with a larger dining area and a pleasant garden area. The bar had seven people in it all good natured and they made room for me to order at the bar no problem. Ringwood 49er and Bitter were on offer and tasted good. Its isolated position means car parking can be a problem. Considering where it is I am surprised it is not aimed more at the tourist. bee578 - 29 Jun 2009 10:34 |
| Good food, but its a shame they don't get their fire lit more frequently, and also earlier - it would be nice to go for lunch on a cold winter's day in a place that felt cosy - the food is wonderful and the staff great, but its let down by the absence of firewood. Get the fire lit early and keep the logs stocked, that will take this pub to the next level. hartleyjr - 23 Feb 2009 23:47 |
| Visited on a quiet Monday lunchtime. Public Bar still retains a proper feel - clean and tidy but not modern. No one else in that bar when we walked in but a nice place to sit. Lounge (busier) is food orientated - still nice but not any particular character. Beer was OK - a ropey Archers guest beer and usual Ringwood fair. Reasonable condition. The food was really good - well worth the short wait. Staff reasonably friendly. Overall 7. It's just under an hour length easy walk along the Solent Way from Lymington Pier station with good views of the Isle of Wight. Old_King_Cole - 19 Jan 2009 20:48 |
| All I can see is if you are looking for really good food, attentive & friendly staff then you can't do much better than the East End |Arms. Pay your respects to the old landlord in the public bar. He resides in a plastic pyramid. I will leave you to find out why. Lovely pub, very good Ringwood beer. Try the mussels, brilliant grub. my rating 9 out of ten. John.T - 11 Jan 2009 21:17 |
| 'Locals pub' is often a bye word for "if we don't know you then you ain't welcome". This is precisely how I felt when visiting the locals bar after a nice cycle up from Beaulieu - as if I'd walked into someone's front room without asking. I thought this could have been something I'd said or done, but then I spoke to a friend who runs a local business (they see a LOT of tourists, take note owners) and he said precisely the same thing as me without prompting. A group of six were made to feel very unwelcome. Another tip for the owners: 30 somethings will be around longer than the people propping up the bar drinking a pint every three hours, we enjoy nice service and an accommodating atmosphere just like everyone else, otherwise we leave - there's a recession on and people will start to get picky!
