White Rabbit in New Forest

Had a meal Wednesday 15th January and it was excellent and wonderful service.

Great food, great staff We stayed from Monday to Friday. Staff and food amazing. New years eve was made to feel like we went there all the time. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Nothing was to much trouble for them.

Called in last week for food, lovely welcome from the man behind the bar he was serving food and working the bar I think his name was Dan nothing was too much trouble for him and the food was top quality the mixed grill was perfect. Thank you 👍🏻

Fabulous place to stay & eat within 5 minutes walk of Lyndhurst Town Centre

Had a Christmas meal there with friends. Lovely food and the service couldn’t have been better

As a family, we have always commented on how nice The White Rabbit looked when you drive in to Lyndhurst. And therefore It was a no brainer to pop in for a simple dinner on our way home. I’ll start off by saying it’s a great layout, open and clean. And the staff were really accommodating and friendly. Unfortunately I was seriously saddened by the state of the food. We weren’t expecting anything particularly special, and I appreciate it was a quiet Tuesday night. But if you don’t have a chef ( or cook ) who can deliver, the easiest of menus. (air fryer level cooking.) Please don’t bother offering people a menu and misleading them in to paying a £60 bill. I can only comment on the Chicken / bacon burger I had and a Gammon egg and chips one of my other guests had. But it started with a nearly 40 minuet wait for food. Even though I could see, there were only 4 small tables being used with in the restaurant. The bacon was barely cooked and the onions rings and chips were obviously sourced from the cheapest supplier. Which is understandable but this should be reflected in the price. My dad’s Gamon was “wet and tasteless and the peas were borderline raw.” And sadly felt unwell once he got home. I want to finish positively and make a point in recognising the cheerful and friendly front of house/ waitressing staff. Hopefully this was just a bad evening in the kitchen. I hope other guests receive a different experience.

We went yesterday as they do an amazing Sunday roast, and even more so they cater for gluten free and are hot on allergens The roast was really really good! We were served by Ellie, who was really friendly, attentive and took extra care with the allergens that we have. She took the order from my 8 and 11 year old daughters and treated them like adults (which they really liked! So thank you!) The vegan ice-cream was really good Definitely recommend here 👌

Visited family and came with partner and 2 kids. Staff were extremely friendly, attentive but in the right way and despite being busy had a quick chat with us and kids. Even gave wrapped Xmas books for the 2 children. Came back the next day with more family it was so good! Bunny served us on the second night, we didn’t get the name of the first but she was lovely too.

Very good food n service was excellent. Manager even asked us if we wanted to move to accommodate our dog, brought over a sausage n bowl of water for her, nice touch.

The staff at the White Rabbit are very friendly and helpful they put the effort in to make sure your stay is as good as it can be, the food is also very good we ate there every day breakfast and evening meals, all in all a very relaxing place to spend a few days or longer.

Popped in for lunch after a dog walk. Honestly such a lovely pub. Really friendly staff, great selection of drinks and the food was outstanding! I work for Greeneking and it's the best Greeneking food I've ever had. We will be back 10/10

Lovely meal and exemplary service - thank you Debbie and Muriel!!

Really lovely food and fantastic hospitality from restaurant staff. Highly recommend!

Lovely food Great service and dogs allowed to sit under the table Would like to recommend a little doggy menu for them to join in even if it's just a sausage sliced up with some carrots? Rooms only got a 1* review as we have not stayed in them so can't comment on them Would we come again....YES Will we stay.... unknown at this point Location is great but the roads are horrendously busy during the day New forest walks just round the corner from the pub/hotel

Fantastic service, shepherds pie and steak pie were incredible, we had to share a bit of each! Christmas decs and music made it a really chill vibe and plenty of room for everybody too! 5 stars, well done!

While staying locally over Xmas popped in a couple of times. Nice place, very warm and dog friendly

Beautiful pub with the most gorgeous festive decorations which really set the tone of the pub. We had drinks in the bar served by Katherine and then food in the restaurant. Our servers were lovely and very attentive throughout the evening. Highly recommend

Great food and amazing service from Katherine, Debbie, Luke and Dan!

Excellent service and high quality pub food

We were well looked after by Debbie who greeted us when we were seated and looked after us in a friendly way. The food was excellent and provided in a timely manner. This was our third visit and we shall return.

We were a large group of 42. We’d pre ordered from the Christmas menu. Tables were laid beautifully.. good quality crackers. Food was excellent and served efficiently.. everybody had a hot meal. Would definitely go back. A huge thanks to Bunny and team.

We love this place and regularly meet here as a group. Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely place. Always feel welcome. What more can you say! We park up and catch up!

Absolutely amazing customer service from the moment we walked in until we left. The food was gorgeous and reasonably priced. Thank you Debbie , Ellie & Bunny!!! Debbie you are such a bubbly character and very welcoming! Will let you know when the wedding is ❤️ Had lunch here Wednesday 18th December x

Nice warm welcoming environment and staff so friendly and helpful even when my birthday voucher wouldn’t scan.

Good place for a get together and some lovely food. Excellent gentle service made for a relaxing couple of hours. Good access and parking.

Great service , great rooms , we ate downstairs couple of times and every time it was delicious. Have great vegetarian options. Thank you to Muriel, Debbie and a Carl for taking care of us 😊x

Lovely food and service for the Christmas party. Can’t wait for next year!

Bunny was such a lovely waitress, very friendly and attentive. Tasty food and good value for money.

Nicole was really friendly as was all the other staff

Friendly well run hotel Lovely rooms and great breakfast Many thanks

Visited the White Rabbit for a works Christmas meal & would highly recommend it. The food was faultless. Well cooked & good size portions. The service from Bunny & her team was super. There's a good range of beers which catered for everyone's tastes. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience.

My friend and I visited the White Rabbit on a Wednesday lunchtime. We received a warm friendly greeting on arrival and were promptly shown to a table. The menu was varied with enough options for vegetarians such as myself. We both opted for the cheese toaste which was served with fires and a garnish, and consisted of a combination of cheddar and camenbert and was a delight to the taste buds. The team of Dan, Debbie and Bunny are a credit to the company. Thanks for making our visit so relaxing.

Great food - really enjoyed our meals - nice atmosphere and very well looked after by friendly and helpful staff (Ellie and Kath). Would definitely visit again if we were staying here longer.

We enjoyed a delicious meal for four on Sunday. The waitress Nicole was friendly, attentive and not intrusive. We have visited this restaurant on several occasions and have always been happy with the food and service.

This place has become a bit of a regular as we travel around the area. Had a great meal tonight with family and as usual the food was great. Thanks to Katherine and Katrina for looking after us. They kept us fed and watered through the whole night. Money saved due to using Tesco's vouchers as well. Really can't fault this place at all

Had the best meal was delicious and tasty. We were served by Bunny who looked after us with a smile and recommended the ham hock.I will be back to try other dishes as spoilt for choice. Service was second to none.highly recommended

Amazing experience staff where amazing good was great

Very friendly staff & the food was cooked to perfection!! Definitely coming back

Fabulous food, warm friendly staff and the perfect atmosphere for a winters day. Trio of roasts was a flat out 10/10, one of the best I've ever had. Well done White Rabbit!

I came to the white rabbit for the first time today and was the best place I’ve been to all year the decoration was absolutely amazing!! The staff are so lovely and welcoming! Bunny looked after us and she was absolutely amazing a lovely woman and made sure we had everything we needed the food was amazing service amazing just all round amazing and we will be back !

Bunny was so lovely and welcoming! Really lovely service and roast was absolutely delicious!

Always wanted to go here for years. It didn't dissapoint. Lush setting, great food and drink. Great service. Very festive also! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“We had a lovely Sunday roast at The White Rabbit in Lyndhurst. The food was delicious, and the service was both efficient and warm. The staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to help. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and look forward to returning in the summer to experience it again. Highly recommended!”

The food was fabulous & we were served by Bunny who made the experience great.

We came for lunch on Tuesday with my elderly parents , good food and good service !

Parking was easy and access to the pub was good. The staff were great upon our arrival which was 15 minutes early. They seated us in a lovely dining area in a cosy area within a big restaurant. The staff communicated really well and the food took time but we were kept informed. It was to be expected on a busy day. Our food arrived and it was delicious. We ate a number of different starters as we were already booked with parents for Sunday roast at their house! The food was plentiful and tasty. The location is ideal when you are in the New Forest. Well worth a visit or two!

Both Burger and Steak are well priced and presented.

Lovely place to eat food came promptly and was delicious ,our waitress Katherine was so friendly and very helpful Would definitely recommend

Had another nice break at The White Rabbit. Location is great to explore the New Forest. Plenty of parking. We had breakfast everyday ,so many options, and we ate here in the evenings as such a nice atmosphere and the food was great. We have stayed here a few times. Sometimes with family, sometimes with friends and we have all returned. What makes this hotel is the staff. They are such a nice team of people. The only thing that we feel needs attention is the rooms do need updating. They are looking a bit tired. Thankyou everyone at The white rabbit, we will see you again soon .

Had a family birthday celebration in one of their specially laid out rooms. Excellent service and friendly staff delivering good quality food. Thanks!

The meal was excellent thank you Debbie bunny Luke and dan the steak was perfect. Lovely meal and great service Thanks again

Great hotel in a great location. It's perfect for exploring the New Forest and it's dog friendly too. The staff are very friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay. Bunny gave exceptional service and went above and beyond when we had a small issue. The food in the restaurant is good too and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!

Couldn’t have been better!! Very friendly staff, they really made my birthday meal a day to remember! There were 22 of us, the youngest being 2 and the oldest being 102 and they catered to each and every one of us in such a professional and friendly manner! We nearly all ordered different meals and they were all perfect and arrived in great time. So many of our group had never visited before (despite s all being local) and everyone said they would be visiting again! Thank you so much to Bunny and the team. We will be seeing you again for sure!

We had a big party over Sunday lunch and the service was excellent, Muriel was attentive, polite, great with the kids and adults. Heard my wish for extra crackling and granted it! Great service, nice setting, fair prices. Thanks Munro and the team

We popped in for a family celebratory Sunday lunch on the off chance to getting a table and we were lucky. The atmosphere was welcoming, friendly and relaxed. We all had the Sunday lunch and pudding. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They even welcome dogs. Out little one was praised by the staff as they didn't know he was there he was quiet and well behaved. Definitely go back.

Came here for my birthday, and absolutely enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. Bunny served us from start to finish. Lovely evening out.

Staff were lovely and our meals were lovely. I ordered a rare steak and it was spot on, perfect. Been here a few times before and food has always been really lovely.

Brilliant 3 day stay at this place....loads to do in the area...walking distance of Lyndhurst shops and restaurants.Lovely meals .....breakfast superb and we chose to eat here 2 out of 3 nights cos the food was so good. Very friendly helpful staff .Highly recommended.

We stop here on the way back to the isle of wight sometimes for a meal. Always welcoming and good food.

Conveniently placed bar and restaurant.

Stopped for dinner. Delicious! Lovely vibe and smiling helpful friendly staff

Lovely hotel and lovely staff and very dog friendly

We popped in for lunch, service was quick and friendly. The tables were clean and clear, Nd the toilets clean. We both had the cheese toastie off the lunch menu which was hot, delicious, nicely presented and fresh. Well worth a trip

We had an overnight stay and had an evening meal Katherine and Lea Who were looking after our table We're great as we're all the staff

Friendly staff who gave us a warm welcome. We would describe the food served as typical pub chain style. What we ate was average. The musroom pie was 3 button mushrooms in a very thick pie crust in a gravy which was like Campbells mushroom soup. I would have liked more vegetables, thinner pastry and a lighter sauce, but that's just my preference. The whole place could do with a good clean and updating, we had 2 dead flies on the window sill next to our table, the seats were stained and one had the foam exposed. Wouldn't rush to return to eat, but would go back for drinks.

Lovely meal and venue - staff were very helpful. Bunny is especially lovely and really helpful - especially navigating allergies. Made our last meal in the New Forest very memorable 😃

We had a great lunch stop here. The service was brilliant.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Bunny was brilliant and made us feel very welcome

Bunny was absolutely amazing tonight! The food was incredible and the service was just spot on. Thank you!

This is our third stay at the white rabbit, the staff are very friendly, especially Bunny, lovely lady, food and rooms are great Will definitely be back asap.

Always come here for a reboot. Location is spot on for Lyndhurst high street. Bunny and all the other staff are so helpful and friendly you will want to come back. Food is spot on as well . All round great place.

First time here for us. Quick friendly service, food was good too. Bunny was great and just how a food service person should be.Not sure if Bunny is her actual name but let’s assume 🤣

Great food and staff. Bunny was a great server....so friendly

Bunny was an amazing server. Friendly and helpful and all round lovely 😊

Really nice atmosphere and the food was lovely! Good options and the specials menu was an added bonus. Staff were friendly and really accommodating. Thx!

We had a really lovely experience. Saturday afternoon - not too busy, fresh and delicious food, and a very knowledgeable and welcoming team. Our server was Bunny, who really went the extra mile to make our experience the best it could be.

Amazing service and food. Really attentive service from Bunny who really looked after us! We came with my niece Ariana for her birthday with a party of 11 and nothing was too much trouble for her. Many thanks Suneil

Excellent service, food, and a warm welcome from our server Bunny - thank you!

Had a special of chicken cheese and leek pie, followed by sticky toffee pudding tonight. Delicious! We had Bunny as our server and she was super attentive. We will be back!

We’ve visited the White Rabbit this evening with friends for dinner. We were served by Bunny and she was amazing! She attended to our every need and made our feel extremely welcome. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Such a lovely setting. Can recommend wholly.

Great location and tasty food. Nice outside space with plenty of tables for dining.Very tired rooms. Need updating.

The food was excellent (thanks to Damien head chef) Service was great (thanks to bunny) Definitely recommend

Great location and very friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately it's another of those hotels/Inns/place with rooms where, with a little effort l, attention to detail and mon y everything could be a lot better. Things like no working fan in the bathroom, no bedside lamp, you could see the joins in the lining paper on the walls as they were coming apart. The pull cord on the light sconce in the bathroom was missing. You could see in the bathroom where the roller had run out of paint as the walls had only been done once. Then you had repeated calls from the prop department of Crossroads calling to ask for their furniture and carpet back. Broken fan in the room then when given a replacement that feel apart and took ten minutes to fix. None of these things are huge but with more effort, attention to detail and a bit of money would've made the stay better and improved the property. Unfortunately I'm guessing that with the Lyndhurst location the corporate powers that be are probably more interested in milking it for all they can rather than spending money.

Didn’t stay in the hotel but used the restaurant for Sunday lunch.

Staff super lovely and beautiful location. Recommend the signature burger and the 8oz rump steak, along with the salted caramel sundae! However, my sister has coeliacs disease and so required a meal with no gluten. One staff member was super helpful and took her order separately to ensure no contamination. However, due to 5 members of our party ordering steak, her meal was confused in the kitchen and she began to eat a gluten containing meal before our family realised and had to send back. Therefore, please ensure it is double checked if you are attending and ordering for an allergen x

Went here with my family today and what a lovely pub/restaurant! Nicole was our server and she was great! Fast, efficient and the food was great! Will be coming again!

Has a really warm welcome from the friendly man behind the bar. Found a nice quiet spot for a drink and then went into the restaurant for a Sunday roast. Food really good. Would recommend!

Had dinner here; food and service good, English fare
