The Oak Inn, Lyndhurst

Lovely old pub just off the beaten track, excellent choice of beer. Didn't get to eat on this occasion but would have no hesitation in going back. Update, we tried the lunch as a stop on the circular walk. Fantastic food and service.

Great stop if you're doing one the national cycling routes through the forest. You have a choice of internal or external seating, both with a family friendly atmosphere. Food is great compared with the standard in the area.

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.

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.

Had a lovely meal at the Oak Inn, at Bank near Lyndhurst in the New Forestst. then a nice 3 mile walk in the forest itself. Service and food was excellent. The atmosphere is very nice and a good menu too.

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.

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.

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!
