There’s not one but four best places to eat in Lyndhurst – and as promised, we’ve done all the groundwork for you – picking out the best bits and just leaving the toughest/most exciting decision with you – choosing which Lyndhurst restaurant to dine at.

The Drift
Always top of our list when anyone asks about a fab restaurant in Lyndhurst. It’s the ultimate foodie experience for breakfast, lunch or dinner for the whole family – including your four-legged friends – boasting menus filled with modern pub classics that truly showcase great British cooking.

Bartley Lodge
Bartley Lodge is home to another fantastic restaurant. Here you’ll find a country house kitchen where food can be enjoyed in the restaurant or out on the terrace in the sunshine. At Bartley Lodge, only the best food is served using seasonal locally-sourced ingredients – and it’s also been named one of the New Forest’s best places for afternoon tea, in case it’s fresh scones and tea you’re after.

1820
Another option in Lyndhurst is Forest Lodge, home to 1820, an award-winning grill & brasserie. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite before or after a walk, or if you’re all glammed up for an evening meal, 1820 food and drinks can be enjoyed inside or out on the terrace.

If it’s prime steak you’re after, then look no further as ours is locally-sourced and the best of the best – amongst other brasserie classics to choose from. Rumour has it that 1820 is home to the finest locally-made gin too – so be sure to stay for a tipple or two.

Taylor’s Bar
Food and drink at Taylor’s bar and lounge is a must; this idyllic spot is a great destination for a casual get-together with friends. Food here is light, seasonal and locally-sourced and beautifully paired with artisan spirits and imaginative cocktails.
