The staff are really friendly, especially the barman who was so attentive. That made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy. The food was lovely too, a really nice meal.

The cookie dough and toffee fudge ice cream were spot on. Really liked the vibe in here, it&#39;s a nice spot to just sit and enjoy a scoop. The space feels relaxed and the lighting is soft.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always spot on, proper British-Asian classics done right. Gets packed out most nights, mind. Book a table or you&#39;ll be waiting.

The tandoori chicken had a really nice smoky flavour. The naan was soft and warm, straight from the oven. I&#39;d go back just for that.

The chicken katsu burger was a real find. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce, really hit the spot. Great spot to catch a game too.

The team here is so lovely. They really took care of us for our little get-together. Everything was handled so calmly, which made the whole afternoon feel relaxed and easy.

The staff are so lovely. Polite, efficient, and they genuinely want you to have a nice time. That&#39;s what makes their Sunday roast a favourite for me. Just a really nice vibe.

Easy to find next to Tesco. Good for a quick bite. Staff were fast and friendly. Got the chicken wrap, decent portion and tasted fresh. Perfect for a lunch break.

Travelled a fair distance for this. The food came out quickly, which was perfect with our toddler. One of the better Indian meals we&#39;ve had.

Good portions for the price, and a huge menu to choose from. The vibe was just right&mdash;really relaxed and friendly.

Came for the afternoon tea with friends. The little savoury tarts were so good, and the cheesecake that looked like a flower pot was a fun surprise! A really nice spot for a long catch-up.

The fennel salami and Tomme cheese sandwich was a real find. The bread had this perfect, crisp crust that just gave way. For under a fiver, it felt like a little treat. Romsey&#39;s lucky to have this spot.

A solid meal, service was prompt. The location on the Esplanade is very convenient. Good for a straightforward business lunch.

Great little family-run pub. We had our wedding party here, and it was just right for that. The beer selection is really strong &ndash; tried a few local ales that were spot on. The team handled our group smoothly.

Nice spot by the water. The fish and chips were pretty good, fresh and quick. A bit pricey, but fine for the location.

A lovely spot for a break. The outdoor seating is so pleasant, surrounded by greenery. I really appreciated the fresh ingredients in my salad. The greens were crisp and the avocado was perfectly ripe. It felt like a healthy, refreshing pause.

As a coeliac, I really appreciated the care here. They have separate equipment for gluten-free prep, which is a huge relief. Felt safe ordering, and nearly everything on the menu was an option for me.

Been coming here for years, and the halibut and chips is always spot on. Huge portion, cooked perfectly. Even on a busy Friday, they found us a table on the lawn. That consistency is why I keep coming back.

Nice little pub just outside Lyndhurst. Had the ploughman&#39;s lunch - it was huge and really hit the spot. A solid choice for a proper, filling meal.

Stumbled upon this place on a New Forest walk. The puttenesca pasta really stood out &ndash; loved the salty kick from the capers and anchovies. Portions were generous too.

Popped in for a late breakfast. The food was fresh and well-prepared. Their iced coffee was spot on&mdash;really hit the mark with a full, rich flavour that paired nicely with the meal. Solid value for what you get.

Nice little pub with a garden for the kids to run around in. The climbing frame kept mine entertained for ages while we had a quiet pint. Hosts were really friendly too.

The owners are so lovely. But what keeps me coming back is the freshness of the ingredients. You can really taste it in the simple salads and grilled fish. Everything feels clean and thoughtfully prepared.

Lovely spot to warm up on a chilly day. The terrace and garden must be great in summer, but the inside space was bright and cosy. Just what we needed.

Perfect for a quick lunch. Burger was juicy, cooked just right. Good choice of sauces too. Got my order in under 10 minutes. Exactly what I needed.

The food presentation was spot on, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff&#39;s warmth really added to the evening. I did wish the wine list had a few more interesting local options to pair with the rich flavours, though.

Popped in for a quick cream tea. The scones were still warm, really soft and fluffy. Best one I&#39;ve had, honestly. Just sat outside with a cuppa, watching the birds. Simple and lovely.

The mussels and pasta were spot on. A minor quibble &ndash; the mozzarella starter. The tomatoes were a bit bland, even for winter. A glass of crisp white wine would have really lifted that dish.
