Food & drink

The New Forest has numerous good quality pubs and restaurants. The traditional New Forest pub is surely one of the most welcoming sites to a walker following a bracing ramble through miles of open heathland. Roaring fires, rustic décor and a hearty menu are all features which come as standard when experiencing the charm of the typical New Forest pub. From 17th Century Inns with beamed ceilings to watering holes steeped with history and intrigue, the New Forest is home to some of the finest pubs in the country. Many of them cater very well for families and children and some have out door play areas and board games to keep everyone entertained. Several of the pubs and restaurants listed here are very popular and likely to require advance booking.
