The beer selection is fantastic and the ploughman's platter is amazing. We always make sure to visit this restaurant whenever we're in the New Forest.

The ploughman's platter was fantastic, the beer selection was great, and the garden was lovely. The only downside was the crowds of other people.

I enjoyed a ploughman's lunch and a drink with my family at this pub. I really love this place and will definitely return for another meal in the future.
