Visited The Pilgrim today for Fathers Day, sadly disappointed. All staff very young and unattentive. All 3 starters ordered came out incorrect & our mains were awful. Trio of roast, all meat was overcooked & inedible, crackling like a hard bit of leather, Yorkshire pudding hard, cold & crunchy. Childrens meal, chicken goujons were rock hard, like frisbees. Again, inedible for our 2yr old!

Overpriced drinks, uninterested staff, lack of atmosphere. Used to be regular diners as its our local. Won't be returning in a hurry, only bonus was they reduced the bill by 50% and the roast potatoes were decent!

Run by young students, left standing at the bar with large suitcases to be ignored as reception for hotel is now over the road. The food was just ok but took almost an hour for a ploughmans lunch to come out. 2130 must be shift end and 2 young lads singing and being really rowdy as we were eating. Just unprofessional, previously stayed here 3 times over the years and was amazing. Wont be staying again

Excellent stay, wonderful staff, delicious food, wouldn't hesitate to stay again and already planning too,perfect base from.which to explore the New Forest, particularly the coastal areas near Hythe , thank you Pedro and his marvellous team.
