| The return of the village pub! At last this has reverted back to what it used to be - a pub, not a fake gastropub. A seperate room to drink without having to eat. Get back in there. forcam - 16 May 2009 23:34 |
| Claims to be the oldest pub in the New Forest and looks quite nice from the outside. The look carries on OK inside, but the service and food don't reflect the exterior. It is cramped with only tables for food and no real bar / pub style area to drink at. The 'bar' food was overpriced and of poor quality. The service was very slow and staff offhand; I overheard the manager being quite rude to complaining customers - and there were a few of those within earshot! I agree with 'fourforestfriends' that there are better alternatives not too far away - certainly try those first! This very old pub could be really something, if it were better managed.

| We visited on the 9th Mar 09 for a Sunday Dinner. In the first instance the pub looked really nice, signs up outside said Good home cooked food at reasonable prices, but very different inside. Once you are sat down we had a menu given for Sunday lunch, £16.95 2 courses and £23 for 3 courses. Not cheap considering choices for the main course are, roast beef, liver and bacon, gammon and eggs !!! So cheap food inflated price. We had 3 children with us knew we couldn’t now afford at these prices to pay for them to so we ordered the soup starters for the children and we just had the main courses. I had the beef, which was tough, and mass produced as the 2 slices I got where perfectly cut and the same thickness throughout so not hand carved, as was every other beef that came out of the kitchen, the potatoes where hard, and the vegetables over cooked and not drained, the Yorkshire pudding cold and stodgy. My husband and friend had a chicken pie, not a real pie but a tiny dish with 2 - 3 mouthfuls of filling and a uniform pie top, again served with watery vegetables. The soup the children ate was Carrot & Coriander, again this was a mass produced effort, insipid and tasteless and served with a cook from frozen roll. Now had I paid £6 for my meal I wouldn’t be upset but I paid £16.95 a huge price tag. When we came to pay the bill it had come to £74.28!!!! For 3 Adults and 3 under 4 year olds? The meals at £16.95 came to £50.85 so a whopping £23.43 was charged for our drinks, incredible considering we had 1 x coke, 2 x orange and lemonade and 3 x fruit shoots for the kids, that was it, no wine or beer, no refills just one drink with an average price of £3.90 So overall I would say be careful about eating here on a Sunday, check the drink prices carefully. I for one would not eat here again on a Sunday or any day for that matter. madtrace - 9 Mar 2009 11:05 |
| Went with three friends a couple of months back and were disappointed. Its a weird atmosphere, not really a pub, more just like an austere dining room. Its a shame, it being such an old building and the New Forest's Oldest Pub that it hasn't got any warmth of charm left it in. Staff are a bit awkward, and the food is overpriced. £3.50 for a cappucino is absurd for the New Forest. The French chef does cook reasonably well, but it is probably over-ambitious and over-priced for the setting. Plenty of better places nearby - the East End Arms or the Red Lion at Boldre being decent places to eat in the immediate vicinity which will set you back about half as much as eating here for similar quality. hartleyjr - 23 Feb 2009 23:44 |
| cannot agree with plumbpudding. the beer here is really badly kept. we opted to leave and pop to the red lion just down the road. happened to be special pie and pudding night, very busy, but they fitted us in and we had the best venison pie ever, they wouldnt disclose the recipe but it was yummy. very friendly there-completely different to the fleur-de-lys attitude! fourforestfriends - 10 Jan 2009 17:38 |
