The Fighting Cocks - New Forest

This pub is excellent and extremely dog-friendly. The food is delicious and the staff are polite and friendly. I was very impressed with the service we received. We had made a reservation in advance and mentioned that our dog is in training, so they seated us in a quiet area which was perfect. They even brought over a bowl of water for our dog and gave him some attention. They made sure that other guests with dogs were not seated right next to us, which made for a very pleasant experience. Thank you for taking care of us and our furry friend. I highly recommend visiting this pub if you are in the area. I usually don't write reviews, but I felt compelled to in this case because they were truly wonderful!

We were greeted with good service and a very friendly waiter upon arrival. Our drinks order was promptly delivered, but after 40 minutes we had to inquire about our food order as it had not arrived. Although the restaurant was nearly empty, we were told that the bar area was busy, resulting in our food taking 50 minutes to be served. Despite the delay, the food was enjoyable and we both liked our meals. When it came time to pay, we were only given verbal instructions on how to settle the bill, and a simple apology.

I came here to celebrate my granddaughter's birthday while staying at Sandy Balls Holiday Camp. The service was excellent and all the staff we interacted with were very friendly. The meal was one of the best we've ever had dining out - we couldn't find any faults with it. We would definitely return here in the future.

Popped in after a walk in the Forest. We ordered croque monsieur, mushrooms on toast and brie cranberry baguette. The food was excellent. They were busy but service was nice and quick. Will go back again.

Gorgeous food in equally gorgeous surroundings. Such a lovely menu, so much to choose from, spoilt for choice.
