The Red Lion, Boldre in New Forest

If you don't mind paying £16 for fish and chips and the same for ham egg and chips then this is the place for you. Nice staff but way too expensive for Weatherspoon type meals. For six of us the total bill was a wapping £175 for ordinary food and overpriced beer and wine.But that seems to be typical for most pubs and restaurants in the New Forest.

Lovely staff, gorgeous food, I recommend the homemade steak and ale pie. Nice atmosphere.

Lovely old pub in a lovely area. Staff were very friendly and chatty. Fabulous food, delicious and beautifully arranged. I would suggest the homemade steak and ale pie.

Delighted with our dinner in a cold winter night we found a warm and welcoming place. Food was outstanding, congrats to the chef on a great feast of genuine and very well cooked produces. I enjoyed the defined flavours of my peppers and potatoes soup and steak pie with fresh veg, plus no mess with sauces of any sort. Young and super attentive service team. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant find of a quaint and country vibe pub. A roaring fire welcomed us on arrival. Traditional pub grub that hit the spot for quality comfort food. Staff friendly but a little too quick with our orders. But all great in terms of food and setting

All round great experience. Super staff. Lovely food. Unobtrusive but great covid measures. Dog friendly. What more could you want from a pub?

Excellent lunch today.Good value for quality food and serviceWe enjoyed another excellent lunch yesterday.The Plaice was delicious and my husband the Gammon egg and chips.. He was amazed at the amount of meat he was given..Also a generous whitebait starter. Cannot fault The Red Lionfor quality and value for money..We will return on our next visit to the Forest

Delicious food in cosy and historic pub. Very friendly staff made us and our four legged friend feel very welcome.

Enjoyable sunday lunch. Both the beef and fish were good. Meat was tender. Staff were friendly and checked we had what we needed.

Great little pub and restaurant. Managed to get us booked in at short notice. Food looked amazing and also tasted delicious.The portion of onion rings is excessive! I think i got a whole onion! But they were really good.They are keeping to distancing where possible, though they didn't take our names for check and trace.Would visit here again.
