Absolutely fantastic meal last night . Cosy pub with log fire, relaxed atmosphere. Service was so friendly and very attentive. Food was amazing, there were 6 of us eating all with different starters, mains and desserts which were just delicious and beautifully presented. Can highly recommend!

A very pretty place in a lovely village.
Staff very attentive, food is excellent, although it is a small menu. Booking advisable as only open limited hours.
The only negative for us was a dog coming through from the bar area to the restaurant trying to be fussed whilst we were eating, was a bit off putting.
Will definitely come back though when we visit the area. Outstanding place.

For and service was top draw. Only two girls serving due to conditions out of their control on a BH Weekend. They were great and coped so, so we'll with some, frankly, privileged customers. These girls need a bonus
Food was good as well. Next time we are local, we will go
This pub is also great as a base for a circular walk.

Perfect Pub on the fringes of The New Forest.
We were a group of 4 plus a toddler.
Food was superb and Flacks Sunshine or Double Drop goes down a treat!
Staff were pleasant and accommodating.
We will pop back when this way again for sure!

Stunning pub in an idyllic village, amazing in the sun for a Sunday roast in the garden! Food was top tier and the service was slick and professional.

Being just a 1/2 mile walk from our holiday cottage in Rockbourne, we just had to have Sunday lunch in this delightful local pub.
The food was really enjoyable (Sunday lunch nearly as good as the ones we make at home!). Staff attentive, polite, and personable.
What was my lasting impression? the fact that one of the female waiting staff took the trouble to lead a rather frail elderly lady to the toilet. Pointing out potential hazards en route (small carpeted ramp) and then opening the door of this toilet for this lady and her friend. The waitress involved was probably unaware of anything out of the ordinary in her actions, but I certainly noticed.
My wife and I are booked in for a repeat meal next Sunday - why wouldn't we??

Underestimated how long a cross country bike ride would take, so missed lunch by about an hour but had a lovely ½ hour in the garden of this beautiful pub.
Really friendly, welcoming service, great atmosphere, a great looking food and drinks menu and well worth another visit for lunch!

what a lovely find I had the chicken with veg and potatoes my husband had the RAT burger both excellent. We enjoyed so much booked to go back on the Wednesday but the weather was due to change so booked inside it was a very warm night and they had the offer on from the government so very busy. Again excellent food ( sorry no pictures this time ) but a long wait for desert so we just asked to have it as take out which was not a problem . Very friendly and excellent following covid we felt very safe and dog friendly
