The Greenwood Tree - New Forest

My grandfather passed away this morning and used to love his holidays in the new forest. We came to GWT this lunchtime and it was so comforting on a very sad day. Their vegan options are always amazing, but to be able to have a simple meal of vegan sausage roll, chips and beans was comforting in a way I cannot express. The friendly staff and wonderful service made such a difference. Vegans will know how difficult eating out in this part of the country can be.

Discovered this place quite by accident when exploring Lyndhurst and looking for a late breakfast. Got a friendly welcome from kind and welcoming staff. The pancake dish was absolutely perfect and we have to come back for more!

We staggered in for tea and cake after a long hot walk in the New Forest. The friendly attentive staff member (who we later found out was the lovely joint owner) pointed out the best seat to get the benefit of the air conditioning which was very much appreciated. Quick service, Lovely home made cake selection and friendly efficient staff too. We didn't think the prices were too expensive considering it was Lyndhurst. We paid more in the National Trust tea rooms in Studland last week and they were cardboard beakers of tea!

This is a lovely family run business with really friendly staff. we visited over the bank holiday weekend and was very busy. The food didn't take long to arrive considering this and the lady did pop over and say it wouldn't be too long. She also took the time to have a conversation with us despite being very busy. We returned the following day as we were so pleased with the food and service

Fantastic all day breakfast. Excellent quality sausage and bacon. Service was exemplary and food was hot. Will definitely return next time we are in the area. Highly recommended
