The Yachtsman's Garden

Best avoided. Sadly very poor in every way. Great shame as has a monopoly on this beautiful location.

9 times out of 10 there will be some reason why you can’t get a beer. Such a shame as it’s a perfect location

Had a very tasty chicken burger from the barbecue. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Love this place, everything you need for a really enjoyable day out. Will be visiting again. View menu

Today we walk the beaulieu to bucklers hard walk with our dog stopped at the yachtsman for a couple of drinks staff were all helpful we all had a burger from the grill food was good, bit pricey but this isn’t a Wetherspoons!!! great views.. we will definitely be back in the summer to sit it the lovely gardens.

I am not one to typically leave reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience after spending nearly £47 on two small bottles of Coke, one pint of cider, a J20, and four small portions of chips at this establishment. Despite the pub being situated in a beautiful location, I am still shocked by the high prices of their food and drinks. Additionally, the service was only average.

The prices here are laughable, and the beer wasn’t great. And should you wish to have a coffee instead of a beer, I’ll save you the trouble. It’s a machine that they push a button on, and for the privilege you’ll pay more than you would at an actual coffee shop. Don’t even look at the food menu. Just don’t. Portions you couldn’t feed a mouse with, costing the earth. It’s a joke, praying on tourists with more money than sense. View menu

I would not give this place a star if I could. I paid £14.50 for a medium glass of house wine and a coke at the pub. I sat outside and noticed cigarette butts on the floor and stamped in the table. The staff were unfriendly and when I questioned the high prices, I was told it was because of the view. It is more expensive than most pubs in central London. I would recommend avoiding this terrible place at all costs. It was a terrible experience.

Unhelpful Manager. Sailed to Bucklers Hard and planned to eat in Yachtsman's Bar that said on the web site could not be booked. Turned up and it was all booked out with people from the restaurant as there was an event there. The staff and the manager were most unhelpful and didn't know what was on the web site. Refused to feed us even though there were free tables. So we had to walk 2.5 miles to the Montague Arms very welcoming ! and 2.5 miles back in the dark through woods. Avoid unless sure

We've been visiting Bucklers Hard regularly since 2014 and in the first few years we really enjoyed lunches and evening meals in the bar at the Master Builders. We had some very memorable family lunches sat outside the bar overlooking Bucklers Hard village and waterfront. But over recent years we have been sad to observe a slow decline in food quality and service. We arrived today (Sunday about 11.30 hoping for a coffee and to stay on for lunch but there was no sign of anyone in the bar till midday. Then we were told that they were only serving barbecue food in the garden. Garden lovely. View beautiful. Food terrible. All they had on offer were burgers, nothing else, so burgers it was, one b...
