Lovely lunch!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Feb 2024
This was our first visit to The Pilgrim Inn since it was refurbished, and we were very impressed with the new restaurant. It had a very relaxed feel to it, and the food was lovely! The staff were very efficient. We appreciated the open log fire.

I asked for a small bottle of Prosecco and was charged £10.20 for it.
When I looked on the site it should have been £6.20.
Every time we go for the same drinks we are charged different prices.
Spoke to customers that were at the pub and they said the same thing.
You are loosing people because of this we won’t return.

Pilgrim Inn, General Manager at The Pilgrim Inn Marchwood, responded to this reviewResponded 15 February 2024

Good evening Jessica,

Thank you for your review.

Having looked into this further, our website advertises La Tordera Prosecco DOC [20cl] £10.20 which is our small bottle and Moinet Prosecco Rose Extra Dry £6.40 as a 125ml measure by the glass. I can only apologise if this has caused any confusion.
Unfortunately we have to increase our prices from time to time to keep up with the inflation, this is something that we do wish was in our control but isn't I'm afraid. I apologise if this causes any inconvenience.

Kind regards
Kirsty

Lovely hotel, had a standard room, very nice and well equipped. Easy walk to
the village centre and great for anyone visiting family on the Army estate, very dog friendly, provided food and water bowls along with a bag of Bonios. Amazing breakfast, friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Excellent room, super shower, fabulous value for money.
Is it 5 star luxury? No
Is it clean, roomy, well equipped with lovely staff? Yes

Close to the cruise terminals, road links and city, but not noisy

Would I recommend staying here?

Definitely!!

We found this Thatched country Inn whilst searching for a place to stay in the New Forest and were not disappointed. The room offered to us was well laid out with a very comfortable bed, the towels “fluffy and soft”and the ensuite bathroom had a shower and a stand alone bath.

The menu comprises local ingredients, we had the pie of the day with triple cooked chips and gravy for lunch and enjoyed the freshly cooked “full English” for breakfast the following day.

Friendly staff and great ambience. If you are looking for a quintessentially English Pub with accommodation in the New Forest try this one. They are also Dog friendly!

Room tip: Plenty of parking, with easy access to both the accommodation opposite the Inn and the pub. And they are dog friendly!

I'm fully aware that pubs in the UK are having to endure hectic overheads at the moment and I'm very glad to support them in this cost of living crisis, but I draw the line when, I the customer, is ripped-off in order for management to please the executives at Fullers. My visit all started well with a pint of the Dark Side American Pale Ale - highly recommend this beer! Then I ordered two 'Fuller's London Porter Smoked Salmon & King Prawn Linguines' at £17, from the Specials Board. Within 5 mins the two dishes arrived and my immediate reaction was they're starter portions! I then started to count the ingredients: 3 prawns, 2 flakes of pre-heated salmon and 2 yellow baby tomatoes. I took the two plates to the manager and asked him if these two servings were worth £34? He just shrugged his shoulders and said the portion sizes are a directive from Fullers HQ, as if I'm supposed to believe that the Chef has been instructed to serve meals through an item-by-itme policy of strict measurent and control. If this pubs wants to save money it should consider turning the heating down, which was unbearable, and switch-off half the lights which were moslty decorative and offered no function at all. My friend and I, will no longer support this pub and go elsewhere from now on.

Room tip: Drive on, and go to the Bold Forester in Marchwood
