Fine Dining and Fish and Chips
There’s an excellent choice of places to eat in the New Forest – from hotels, bistros, restaurants, tea rooms, traditional country pubs and the more up market ‘gourmet’ pub.
Those in the search of fine dining can find restaurants with a Michelin star and awards for the best restaurant in Hampshire. In Barton on Sea there is an exceptionally good fish restaurant where you can dine on a delightful terrace overlooking The Needles on the Isle of Wight.
If you prefer fish and chips there are two particularly good fish and chip shops, one in Lymington and the writer’s favourite based in Milford on Sea. There’s nothing better than good quality fish and chips beautifully cooked and eaten out of paper whilst sitting on the quay or seafront. 
Szechwan or a Sunday Roast?
There’s fine Szechwan (Chinese) restaurant in Lyndhurst well patronised by locals, and a new Thai restaurant has opened, although the writer loves the one in Milford on Sea. Curry fans are well served with good quality Indian restaurants featuring in the larger New Forest villages such as Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst.
There are pubs some with accommodation tucked away in the heart of the forest that offer wholesome and hearty meals as well as the traditional Sunday roasts.  Fancy a Cream Tea?
No trip to the Forest is complete without a cream tea and one of the more popular establishments is the Old Station House Tea Rooms at Holmsley near Burley, where the most delicious cream teas and cakes are on offer.
Dogs Welcome Too
You’ll find a plethora of family restaurants here in the New Forest as well as eating establishments where dogs are welcome such as the timeless cafe on Barton on Sea cliff top. Mkost of our pubs have an area where you can take dogs.
