Waterloo Arms

Nothing not to like about this quaint, traditional New Forest pub!

Lovely atmosphere, really friendly staff and a fabulous Sunday roast dinner.

Top drawer and we have already booked a return visit.

Value for money was good too.

My partner and me had dinner at the pub today. We were very satisfied. The food was fantastic. The chicken breast was crumbly and tasty. The salad garnish is fresh and crunchy. The fries are fresh and hot. We didn't wait long for the food, it was ready quickly. The waitresses are very kind and friendly. If we will go there, we will return, this is 100%. I highly recommend it to all travelers.🤩

We popped in for a drink in the afternoon and we're so impressed with the staff and venue we decided to eat at the Waterloo Arms in the evening.
Laura greeted us so warmly-she was super friendly and so cheerful. The landlord had dropped in and took time out of his day to chat to us- he is one of Life's characters and had some really interesting stories to tell.
The pub is such a beautiful place with nearly as much character as the landlord! There were plenty of unusual artifacts to look at and lots of original features. There's a nice selection of beer and plenty of seating too.
The food was exactly what we wanted-good quality and home cooked. We both chose the steak and ale pie and I liked the fact that you could opt for a smaller portion. It was absolutely delicious and probably the best pie I have ever eaten. I chose the sticky toffee pudding and my husband had the syrup sponge pudding. Both were amazing, but be warned, they are big portions! We literally waddled to the sofa area! We were stuffed.
If you are in the area, the Waterloo Arms is definitely worth a visit. No doubt we will return when we visit the New Forest again.

Our 1st visit to this pub,and it won't be the last,made to feel welcome as soon ad we walked in,we were given a table no trouble at all,as we didn't book,spur of the moment idea,
Service was very good,portion size was more than we expected,but you can never have to much Sunday roast,my partner had the Roast Pork,I had the mixed 3 meats,served on hot plates,a big plus,didn't have to wait to long from order to table,not that we were in a rush,looking forward to a return visit,Will try a midweek visit and try something else off the menu if its anything like the Roast i don't think we will be disappointed.Thank you for one of the best Roasts we've had in a long time,👍

This was the best place to eat in Lyndhurst. Amazing, friendly service. Huge portions of tasty, freshly made food. Loved it ❤ highly recommend this one

Thank you to Laura for making the experience here truly fantastic with exceptionally good customer care and genuine kind nature to all the guests visiting the Waterloo Arms today. Same very much for the chef and the wonderful high quality food that was perfect in everyway. The atmosphere here is really sets the bar. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a very peaceful relaxing restaurant and pub.

Great meal. Comfortable surroundings, wonderful service and simple good pub grub.
All the family enjoyed.

A beautiful pub with very lovely staff. Great service. Meals came out very quickly. Excellent menu including many choices for mains, smaller appetites and children. We had a lovely evening, well looked after by the staff - thank you !

Had dinner there last night. It was our pets first time in a restaurant. They genuinely treated him like a little prince.

The food was very lovely, well portioned and I would absolutely recommend everyone to come here!!

Some people might complain service was slow but I would say it was busy and actually very efficient. Really good ambience and a proper pub feel. Just be patient and enjoy the experience, you won't regret it.

Came for Sunday lunch today. Arrived at 1. Three full Sunday roasts on the table by ten past. Food was piping hot and plentiful. Specific requests were all fulfilled accurately. Staff are all polite, friendly and efficient. Best Sunday roast I've had in the area for a while. Recommended.

Friendly and helpful service and excellent food. We will definitely be going there again.

Me my wife and Bella 🐕 enjoyed 2 fantastic gluten free dinners after a long days walkies.
First occasion was a yummy fish and chips followed by syrup sponge and custard.
Second occasion was a 12" pizza followed by sticky toffee pudding (I know piggy)
Service was really friendly.
They even brought a sausage out for 🐕
We recommend

Really gorgeous 16 century pub in Lyndhurst, ably run by Michelle and assisted by her brilliant barman.

We ordered scampi & chips, chicken burger and beef burger. For dessert, we ordered ice cream and creme brulee.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Food was great and we would definitely come back and highly recommend. Well deserved 5*.

Great country pub serving good hearty food (even did a small size for those not as hungry). The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Do yourself a favour and stop in for a bite to eat or even just a drink, plenty to choose from. I'll be back.

Delightful country pub, fantastic authentic rustic interior oozing character. A warm, friendly welcome awaits from very attentive staff. We were lucky and managed to squeeze in on a last minute booking, they were very busy, but the place ran like clockwork. We didn't have to wait long before our drinks order was taken, followed by our food order which also arrived quickly and was delicious. Generous portions but also a great idea of offering a half portion for the smaller appetite. Even though they were busy at no point did we feel rushed and they were dog friendly too. The facilities were very clean and hand sanitizer readily available.
Perfect little pub; highly recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed 🙂💕

Beautiful little pub with a great outside area. Super dog friendly too which is great. Staff were friendly, food arrived quick and tasted delicious!

What a fantastic find this pub was. They do food for smaller appetites, although the half-sized chilli con carne was a full meal. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

I imagine everyone congregating here if there was a local power cut for a pint and a sing song!

Lovely place, very cozy inside! The atmosphere is very relaxed and you do not want to leave. They also have a wonderful garden outside for sunny days.

The pub has a good range of tap beer, ales and ciders. They serve food throughout the day, which is handy if you are looking for a quick bite between lunch and dinner.

The staff are friendly and welcoming!

First time visiting last Saturday. Great food at a reasonable price. Lovely atmosphere and service with a smile, will definitely return.
