The Royal Oak
The Royal Oak, Fritham, LyndhurstT
Very nice place to stop off with our bikes albiet, a very blustery day. We ordered a ploughman's for lunch and was surprised at the size of portions. To be honest, we could have shared one between two. But, it was fantastic , the coleslaw was my favourite. Can't remember the price , I think it was £19 but worth it.

New Forest Inn Lyndhurst
2 Boult Bee Cottages, Emery Down, LyndhurstRight in the route of some incredible forest walks.
Massive garden out the back. Charming decor inside. Comfortable chairs and tables and the rooms are well laid out. Extremely dog friendly (dog biscuits on the bar, offered to fill our dog bowl). Beer is cold and clearly lines are well maintained. Food was great and portions filled us (we’re 2 people in our 30’s with big appetites that had just been out for a 4 hour hike).
To the person who complained about the price of the food a few reviews down, I don’t know what you were smoking or what backstreet cafes you’ve been eating in recently but the value for money was absolutely spot on and you should bang another star on that review.
Now to the staff. Absoultely unreal. Nothing was a bother or too much trouble. Friendly, attentive and professional without being intrusive. Literally perfect pub service.
Can’t wait for come back (and we’ve not even left yet)

La Pergola Restaurant
Southampton Rd, LyndhurstDelicious authentic flavours, especially the cannelloni and arrabiata!
I would recommend the garlic mushrooms starter as well!
The restaurant was busy, so definitely book a table if you're going on the weekend especially.
The tiramisu was nice, but I regret not trying the strawberry cheesecake that looked delicious and has been highly recommended.
The bill came to £90 (with service charge) for two starters, two mains a dessert and 2 drinks. So it was pricey, but I think that's reflected in the fresh ingredients and generous portions sizes.

Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant
2 Romsey Rd, LyndhurstStaying in Lyndhurst for our 55th wedding anniversary and we really wanted an Italian meal to celebrate on the night. Well Dolce Avita could not have impressed us more, they were welcoming and it had a wonderful atmosphere about the place. The meal was exquisite, a true Italian meal which took us back to many happy meals in the past we have had in Italy. The staff could not have looked after us any better, although they didn't know we were there for a special celebration.
Without a doubt, whenever we go back to Lyndhurst, or surrounding area we will without a doubt return.
Thank you for making our evening so very special. ♥️

INDIAN FUSION LYNDHURST
72 High St, LyndhurstThis place is an absolute gem - my favourite Indian restaurant in the area
The service was brilliant, couldn't ask for friendlier staff
The food is divine, the salmon tikka is one of the best things I have ever eaten. The mushroom rice is the best I have had, and I have had many! For mains, definitely try one of the chefs recommendations, very authentic and nice amount of heat!
Highly recommend this place to anyone, you won't be disappointed!

Green Dragon
Canterton Ln, Brook, HampshireMet a group of friends here and had a great evening. Food was great - the pies went down a real treat! I had the steak and ale with chips - getting extra gravy made the meal!
Pudding choice was great and being able to have custard with my sticky toffee Pudding instead of ice cream was brilliant!

Hartnett Holder & Co
Beaulieu Rd, LyndhurstVisited today, 14/02/2026, for a joint valentine and anniversary celebration and we were definitely not disappointed. From the initial warm welcome to the service and attention to detail, nothing was found wanting. Then we come to the food, the absolute jewel in the crown, and what a sublime experience that turned out to be - far exceeding any expectations that we had. Cannot praise highly enough and will definitely be back.

Afternoon Tea at Forest Lodge Hotel
Pikes Hill, Romsey Rd, LyndhurstWe had a lovely afternoon tea at Forest Lodge. Service was exceptional, and the food was great, especially the scones. We were offered more tea a couple times, and they did everything to cater for our dietary preferences despite not being warned of them beforehand. The hotel and restaurant are quite smart too. Would recommend if in the area.

Sweet Chillies
33 High St, LyndhurstWe had only planned on popping in to Lyndhurst for a few minutes. However, we found this lovely shop. We were only wanting a teacoffee but once we saw the lovely cakes on offer we had to indulge. I am very disappointed that we do not live closer to Lyndhurst because we would certainly make this a weekly place to have a snack. The coffee was excellent. Served hot with a lovely biscuit on the side. My husband had a toasted tea cake and declared it to be the best he had eaten in years. I had a slice of their lovely Dorset apple cake. It was beyond good. I was extremely impressed. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and could not have done more for us. We would go out of our way to make sure we come here again.

The Swan Hampshire
Swan Green, Emery Down, LyndhurstOne of the most dog friendly pubs around. She loved the Sir Woofchester roast dinner & dog bed. Human food wasn't bad either. Not a fan of the bland background music though.
