The Elderflower Lymington in New Forest

Prior to going I was disappointed having waited 6 months to get a table to be told about a week before that the 7 course menu I'd booked had been reduced to 4.However, the whole experience was excellent. Its a lovely environment. The service was first class and the food was amazing. We had the wine pairing which was a full glass each time and the pairing was fantastic . My mum kept saying that each glass was better than the last (on its own).I'd definitely return but I'll be keeping it for special occasions as the quality of experience is priced accordingly. I've attached the menu we had but obviously subject to change.

A seriously good and expertly cooked meal, perfectly matched with wine, served with a very welcoming and relaxing touch that makes it something you'll want to repeat soon.

We were lucky enough to get a table here on New Year's Eve. Upon arrival, the service was great and well thought through right down to the smallest detail. And then the food and drink arrived, and some how it got even better!We could not fault anything and will definitely make the effort to return if we are back in the area again.

It took months to get a reservation, the restaurant was full. The service, food and wine were the best. We will definitely return for special occasions, if we can get in

Came here to celebrate 7 years together, nice to go somewhere a bit fancy and this place has been on our list for a while! No issues with the £80 deposit, as unless you plan on not showing up then what's the problem. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. We went for the 5 course tasting menu and the food was great, lovely flavours and well presented. Small portions as is with this style of food, but at least that way you can enjoy the flavours of every course. Extensive selection of wines, maybe a little more expensive that I would expect, but more than enough to choose from. Overall I would thoroughly recommend coming here if you are looking for a nice dinner full of flavour. We would love to come again in a different season and try out what else they have to offer.

This was a between Christmas and New Year treat for us. Having seen both The Pig and the Elderflower on Remarkable Places to Eat with Fred and Chris, both looked to tick all the boxes for us. We lunched at the Elderflower on 29th December. The 4-course tasting menu, accompanied by the paired wine flight was fabulous. Beautifully cooked and presented by a knowledgable, welcoming and polite team, it certainly did tick all of the boxes. A fabulous way to spend the afternoon in lovely Lymington.

Booked many months in advance off the back of a review on the television and we were not disappointed. 2.5 hr drive to get to you. 7 courses. Well presented and very tasty. Service is not pretentious. Staff knew the menu and their wines inside out. Will definitely be back. The only criticism I have is that on your invoice, you should state that the service charge is discretionary, but we had a wonderful Sunday afternoon in a beautiful little restaurant. Thank you very much😊

Four of us went to The Elderflower today for their four course lunch. Everything was lovely, the staff, the menu and the food. This is no ordinary restaurant, it is one that should be on anyone's list as a must visit, you will not be disappointed.

Oh la la ! Thank you everyone at elderflower. The food was amazing. I've tested food combination I would never have dare trying. The staff was exceptional. We had the 7 course tasting with wine to accompany every course ... worth every penny. The elderflower should be on everyone's bucket list. .. merci et a bientot ....

A fantastic dining experience, we had the 4 course lunch and the food was delicious. Service is impeccable. Beautiful and simple clean lines of decoration with a calm and relaxed atmosphere.You will need to pay a £40 pp deposit and it is a venue for a special occasion, a quite expensive.The restaurant is located in the lovely quayside town of Lymington. You will need to book well before your intended visit - but it's worth it.Make sure you give yourself plenty of time for parking and walking to the venue (pedestrian area).
