The Forest Home - Southampton

We have never experienced such hospitality towards my daughters dog she is a Great Dane and we ordered some gammon for her but they didn’t have any so burgers was the next option and she had a generous portion she has been spoilt our food was lovely to Thank you land lady and land lord

I really love this cozy pub located on the outskirts of the New Forest, with a spacious garden as well. What sets this local pub apart for me is the food. It is reasonably priced for the area and the quality is always excellent. I haven't been able to visit for a while due to being unwell all summer, but our recent visit lived up to my expectations. The portion sizes are also very generous. I highly recommend trying the brie starter or the cheeseboard, they are outstanding. The brie is particularly delicious, and I wish I knew where it was sourced from. Overall, I highly recommend paying a visit to this pub.

We had a fantastic evening at the restaurant. The food was outstanding, especially the homemade steak and Guinness pie which was both generous and delicious. The tomahawk steak was cooked perfectly. The quality of the food was impressive, especially considering the reasonable prices. We will definitely be returning in the future.

I visit today with a very elderly lady who was on her first outing after being seriously ill in hospital and having to move into a care home, the first time she had been out in over 2 months, the kitchen had closed which would have resulted in me having to get her back into the car and out again somewhere else (no mean feat) had the chef Ryan? And the chap behind the bar (sorry didn’t get his name) not stepped up and offered to still make us some baguettes for lunch, words can’t describe how this act of kindness impacted on our day, I did tell them before I left but I thought it nice to inform the management too via this platform thank you again

We had a meal at this restaurant and both ordered the Cod and chips with garden peas. It was delicious and good value. However, we also tried the Crème Brûlée, which was decent but overpriced at £7 each. Overall, it is a charming English country pub that features live bands once a week.
