Cafes in The New Forest

People watching is one of our favourite pastimes so why not try a bit of that in one of the New Forest`s cosy cafes. You’ll find numerous cafes located in and around Lymington, New Milton and Lyndhurst as well as some of the more popular New Forest villages, such as Brockenhurst and Burley.

You will be delighted at the array of wonderful food offered on the menus and the cafes in the New Forest are a great place to stop by for a coffee and a chat with friends. Most provide seating both inside and out and there are lots of options available. Many of the cafés are children and dog-friendly aswell, so there’s no reason not to bring the family with you.

New Forest Tea Rooms

Many of the New Forest Tea Rooms serve locally-sourced seasonal produce, giving you the opportunity to taste the wonders of what the New Forest can provide.

Step back in time and drink tea at the historic Bucker’s Hard. Or sample afternoon tea in the stunning surroundings of Exbury Gardens. There is even an old railway station that provides refuge for weary travellers and holidaymakers alike, now converted into a wonderful cafe and tea room. These are just some of the fantastic locations you can stop in for lunch or a pot of tea and cake!
