Our Pub
The Drift Inn
Beaulieu
Our stylish upgrade on a country pub restaurant, The Drift Inn, is just a step away from the hotel and is where you’ll find breakfast, lunch and dinner during your stay, all made from the best local and seasonal ingredients. Our menus feature all the great pub classics – plus a few delicious surprises - and our breakfasts will keep you going for hours.
Relaxed and informal, we’re ideal for young families, larger family groups, or those who want to enjoy the company of their dog. And, come summer, we do a flavoursome garden menu featuring some spectacular salads and top seasonal dishes, which can be ordered and eaten in our outdoor restaurant.
The New Forest is one of the UK’s top foodie destinations. Eat at The Drift Inn and you’ll discover why.
A steaming mug of coffee? A hearty bowl of porridge? A tower of pancakes drizzled in maple sauce or the fullest of English breakfasts – veggie as well?
Breakfast at the Drift Inn ticks all the right boxes. And if you fancy something lighter, check out our Kitchen Table where you’ll find freshly-baked croissants, fruit compotes, fresh juices and classic toast and jam to set you up for the day.

Our menus are packed with modern pub classics and some beloved British dishes, too. From prawn and crayfish cocktail, to chicken, bacon and mango chilli salad, to ale battered haddock and pie of the day, you’ll quickly discover a new favourite.
Our chefs are committed to using ingredients that are traceable, local and seasonal whenever possible. When it’s not, the ingredients come from trusted sources.
We know that lunch or dinner is all over if the pudding is wrong. Which is why we’ve devoted a whole section to our proper, proper puds. Think cinnamon doughnut or the ultimate knickerbocker glory or gooey chocolate brownie. Yes, there will be calories! But holidays are a time to indulge. And you can walk it all off later in the beautiful New Forest.
Whatever the season, we promise that what you eat here will always be fab food that showcases great British cooking at its very best.
