"My mate and I met at the pub for a quiet lunchtime beer and chat..it was great to see him as we had not seen each other for years and need to catch up on news... All we got was pressure and hassle from the...staff. We had our beers..two minutes later one staff member arrived asking if we needed more drinks??..No thank you...Two minutes later another staff member arrived..You gents ok??..Can I get you more drinks??....Our beer was barely touched..No thank you we are fine.. Two minutes later another staff member arrived ...Can I get you more drinks?? Then a young man arrived..Are you gents dining with us??.. we had not planned to eat, just have a beer .. Do you have sandwiches??...No we don't was the answer. Five minutes later another question if we had ordered food??.. Different staff member arrived time after time, every few minutes to ask if we needed more drinks or if we were ordering food... We ordered food we didn't want...It was nothing special..Usual pub food that is quickly forgettable..Not great food..mediocre. Only then did the hassle stop and we were left alone to have a chat. I know there is not much profit in beer...Pubs make their money on food. But the restaurant area was not busy...We were not sat in the restaurant dining area..The table was not made up with cutlery ready for diners..No further customers were sat in our area...The table was NOT required for diners. IT IS A PUB!!...People to go pubs to drink beer and spirits, read a book, chat to other folk, play cards, read a newspaper...It a place of social gathering. All we got was hassle and pressure. I do not often write reviews..Far less write a poor report..I much prefer to give praise and say things were excellent. We shall NOT return.. Incidentally, I do know and like good food..The previous evening I dined in a pub where the chef was a past winner of the TV programme MasterChef ...However, this pub food was mediocre..."

Popped in tonight for a drink and ended up staying for dinner. Steak pie was amazing and the fish was so fresh. Well worth a visit. Such a lovely, clean and welcoming pub.

Having had many enjoyable meals at Fullers pubs this was very disappointing and not up to their usual standards. Our complaints were met with hostility by the pub manager. Would not recommend!

we have let ourselves eat in the mai halfway. very friendly and we had a nice meal. the Steak-Ale-Pie was unforgettable. an additional beer on the tap would be good, but a great pub anyway. will be back. graham

A warm welcome received. Very attentive and organised. Lovely comfortable relaxing surroundings. Every dish we ordered was well cook/presented and very tasty. We loved it very much so re-booked for another evening. Thankyou. View menu

I had a great experience at this restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and a good variety of beers and lagers to choose from. The staff were friendly and it was really nice to see a roaring fire. I will definitely be returning in the future.

We were lucky to spend 18 months in Lymington and this was our favourite restaurant for seafood and drinks. They always had fish of the day but we would highly recommend to try sole. Just delicious. My favourite place to eat in Lymington. During high...season I recommend to book a table.

the beer was good, but eating was very disappointing. crab was the smallest thing I ever served and the skate wing special was probably a third of a wing. all parts were small. this place had the feeling that some had cleverly showed them how...maximumize profits they will do at short notice, but customers will choose with their feet. I will not go back View menu

we met friends for a drink I wasn't in this pub before and on a cool juni evening we wanted to sit inside. but they said that the tables were only for diners. we sat in a pleasant garden, until a table in the interior is available for us to enjoy a second dirt. then I went to the lady bath. oh, my gott. what a chaos! slippery wet floor, no toilet paper and generally unpleasant. why is it tricky that the trade with foods and drinks have no decent toilets.

this was a pleasant moment on a warm spring day with close family. the food was excellent; you can often judge a dish of salat, and the salat was fresh and healthy, not especially inventive, but you can not have everything. the seafoods were...excellent: large plates of sole and crab, and the appetizers were a good size. the young workers were welcoming and attentive and disgusting of the top. the owners are wonderful in different ways. we were there when mrs. owner was in service. it is refreshingly blunt as we agreed on our table, it would have succeeded as a sergeant major in the grenadier guards and has buried a friendly heart deeply in itself; not be put down, but note that they do not...
