The best restaurants serving British food in Lymington Town New Forest South East

Lovely panini, fresh and tasty, plus a great cup of tea and tasty fresh flapjack. Lovely service and great place on the Lymington Quay front.

We dine here most months, always taking the full tasting menu and it changes completely each month which is remarkable considering the size and complexity of the menus and - I assume - a small kitchen! A few days ago we ate the 12 days of Christmas menu which was absolutely amazing, every bite was delicious and the dishes were so imaginative. Stand out dishes were “French Hens” and “Calling Birds”!

Tucked away just off the High Street, this is an intriguing old religious building that has been transformed into a friendly restaurant with various levels. On a quiet midweek lunchtime, we were offered a varied and interesting menu which led to each one of our party of five choosing a different main course. All plates were cleared! We sampled two of the desserts between us and the beautifully presented home made ice creams were outstanding both in quality and variety. The other offerings were beautifully presented and again all plates were cleared. In future this will be our go to destination for meals in Lymington.

As always the food was delicious and the service very friendly. Gavin goes out of his way to use the highest quality ingredients and will even get liver in for my husband even if it’s not on the menu. Would highly recommend, best Sunday Roast Beef out!

All I can say is the experience was average. Nothing wowed me, the coffee was mediocre and the service was not at all personal.

Friday night. Live music. Great evening.

I ordered a coffee. They gave me an instant coffee with cold milk and charged £4.25p Do not go here for coffee!

Two nights spent at the bosuns for a quick get away before Christmas! Couldn’t fault it, bar staff were great, really chatty made for a lovely environment. Good quality food, recommend the chicken wings (all 3 flavours) Room lovely, clean, comfy bed, nice bedding. Great breakfast to sort out the hangover you got in the pub the night before. MASSIVE BONUS- in the middle of lymington with free parking round the back of the pub

Stopped off before the match staff, very friendly food was good service was excellent would recommend

Just went in for a drink on a cold January evening. Big roaring fire, very welcoming.

I'm not a member but I booked in with Royal Lymington Yacht Club to do RYA Level 3 Dinghy sailing course after doing levels 1 & 2 on the river Thames. The club is very nice with great views and Richard, the instructor leading the course was great and gave the choice of additional things to learn.. I had a great time out on the water and sailing on the solent felt like a real achievment. Proud to be able to say I trained at Royal Lymington Yacht Club and am looking forward to doing RYA First Aid Course in December .

Popped in for a pint and stayed all night. Live band on, good beer and great atmosphere all hosted by the wonderful landlady Yvonne and her partner Alan, thanks guys, cracking night.

Terrible experience. We arrived at 8:00 pm and we’re looking forward to a meal as the place looked fab and we had just arrived on holiday. However on arrival at the bar when we asked for a menu the guy behind the bar said “ we’re not doing food now!” To which I replied “ but the board outside said you serve food until 9:00!”. He replied “ well we’ve been busy today !” A you believe it !!!!!!!! I was at a loss for words but what I should have said is “ surely with the board outside advertising food until 9:00, surely that’s breaking trade descriptions. Appalling attitude !

Food was generally ok although my chips were cold. I couldn’t send them back because there were no staff around to ask. They didn’t spend much time in the restaurant at all. The service was friendly enough but very slow which was surprising when the restaurant was practically empty. We sat with our empty plates for 20 minutes before someone actually noticed. I don’t live in the area but I probably wouldn’t go back which is a shame because my experience in another pub in the same chain in Handcross West Sussex was far superior in every way.
