   We had a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Oak. The food was amazing and the service exceptional. Anita, who gave us a warm welcome, looked after us and made sure everything was in order. The food here is really good; great presentation and generous portions. The Fullers beer is served from the barrel so is fresh and in tip top condition. If you haven't visited The Oak put it on your to-do list because it's a gem.

   Have often driven past and wondered what is was like. We cycled there as a group on a tour of the local pubs. Had a lovely Thai green curry and it was served with a pint of Clarksons Hawkstone lager! What a great combo The interior of the pub is spotless and had a welcome feel to it . The bar staff are very friendly and the service on the food was very good

   We visited the Oak Inn on Sunday 6th July 2025 for lunch. We were greeted by friendly bar staff and were placed in a lovely bay window table. All the staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The roast chicken was very tasty and portions are not stingy here, we all got so full up. The atmosphere of the pub was great, and we can’t wait to come back in the colder months as it would be very cosy. Will definitely recommend. Thank you.

   We had dinner in this country pub which is really nice. It is settled in the heart of the new forest in a very quiet road. The car park has flat pebbles and they look great. The building is beautiful inside with low ceilings, full of character. We were attended politely and the food came quickly. The portions were good and we really enjoyed our dinner.

   Without a doubt, my favourite pub in England. The building itself, inside and out, epitomises the quaint countryside English pub. The food is top notch, striking a fine balance between sophisticated and homely. The service is always super friendly and incredibly personable. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

   We absolutely loved this pub. Super friendly service. Excellent food, super fresh and delicious. We had the trout, burger and falafel wrap. Has a great kids menu also. They have a nice beer garden our the back. Super friendly spot for cyclers.

   Had dinner here on the first night of a New Forest break over New Years and was, arguably, the best meal we had there. Really nice & homely pub with a log fire etc, fabulous ambiance. The food itself was amazing, with the game pie (main course) in particular amazing. They even brought us out (un-requested) a plate of extra roast potatoes and veg which was a nice touch, plus gave us a mince pie as we left. Staff were great and helpful. Really recommend.

   Cute pub in the new forest. My husband and I visited back in December 2021 and genuinely had the best fish and chips ever! We’ve been for fish and chips around the country on many coastlines and this has been the beat by far. I’m excited to visit them again and try out the rest of the menu.

   The setting is beautiful and the inn itself is so welcoming and full of character. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful, always full of smiles. The food was amazing, we did mains and dessert and enjoyed every moment! We were also able to tip using a card which is a real plus to me. Would absolutely go again!
