Good range of vegan options - Edit
A great mix of vegan options are sprinkled into the traditional pub fayre on offer. We opted for the mushroom and ale pie. The pie was amazing. Though the seasonal veg that accompanied it was merger and did not include maple roasted carrots as advertised and the roast potato portion was abysmal compared to the chips option.
Read morePros: Tasty pie, Good quality
Cons: Portion control was poor, Not all veg as advertised was provided.

Confirmed does have vegan options - Edit
Confirmed does have vegan options. I enjoyed the mushroom and ale pie though the pastry was a little dry, while my partner enjoyed the burger veganised. Wine menu also clearly marked to show what's vegan.

The menus you see in the photos is gone. There is not no vegan or vegetarian menus and the vegan options are almost non existent. We left and went somewhere else

It was okay. No longer had vegan menu and dirty toilets - Edit
The bloke who took our order (young biker with shoulder length hair) was literally well rude 😂 other staff pleasant enough. £8 something for the burger was reasonable and it was pretty good! Chips where nice but the coleslaw was almost pointless it was tasty but looked sad on the plate as you got like one spoonful. Toilets where absolutely vile
Read morePros: Not expensive , Burger was good , Allows dogs
Cons: Stank of old sick, Some staff where so rude , Not as many vegan options as they had before

No longer has a vegan menu - Edit
Due to new owners unfortunately there is no vegan menu. There is maybe two vegan options but we were told by staff that they ‘try’ to keep food separate from meat cooking. The chips are cooked in the same fryer as meat.

Came for Lunch - Edit
I was here with the rest of my immediate family for lunch whilst on holiday down here. The whole atmosphere of the place is very nice and has a real homely feel. They had many vegetarian options but weren't such a wide variety of vegan ones. There was only side dishes and a few puddings that were classed as vegan. I had a jacket potato with beans and a side salad and was very satisfied. I only have 4 stars due to the lack of choice, but other than that, it was really lovely

dog friendly pub lunch out - Edit
It really helps when your on holiday to have the HappyCow app, together with doggiepubs app we picked this pub for lunch because of its previous review and the tempting sounding vegan separate menu. Sure enough they were very welcoming suggesting the uncarpeted areas for our pooch to sit. The separate vegetarian/vegan menu had about 4 vegan options for mains, I chose the quinoa burger in bun with French fries, with additional chilli sauce. Very nice just the right amount of spice.
Read moreTwo options for dessert ice cream or chocolate & coconut torte, the torte was gorgeous very rich but great with the vanilla ice cream.
They also had a great beer garden.

Great find! - Edit
This is becoming somewhat of a regular for us! Walks in the new forest with family followed by a pub that caters amazingly for vegans as well as omni's. They have a full vegan menu with lots of choice! The chocolate & coconut tart for pud is great!!

Vegetarian Options - Edit
The info for this pub is clearly out of date. There is no longer a separate vegetarian or vegan menu. There is however a menu with vegetarian options marked, of which there seemed to be quite a few. There are no vegan items marked.
Read moreThe server did understand what 'vegan' meant and was able to offer suggestions of two menu items that could be altered to be made vegan, a curry and a penne arrabbiata. A bit disappointing they have obviously not carried on catering well for vegans. but good that there was more than hot chips which is usually the only option at most pubs.
Unfortunately the food was pretty average (very overcooked pasta, cold chips), but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they were having an off day on this occasion.
Pros: Nice location, Vegetarians well catered for
Cons: No vegan items on menu, Quality of meals not great

choice and plenty of it - Edit
Impromptu pub lunch Saturday afternoon.
Read moreWarming log fire and good range of beers with a specials board just for vegan and vegetarian options. It was no problem for them to accommodate my vegetarian and dairy free choice and the portion size was just right. The previous reviews on here are out of date and I would definitely go back.
Pros: choice and accommodating with good portions
Cons: parking is limited but there is the pay to park be, it was very busy so service was a bit slow

Friendly staff but bad food - Edit
This is a chain pub which used to have a vegan owner and the current manager carried it on thinking they could tap into the 'niche' market.
Read moreThe food is clearly not made by vegans. It is either bland or far too spicy. It's a shame because it is in a lovely location and has a nice outdoor area. The bar staff are friendly and helpful but unfortunately the food just is not worth it.
Pros: outdoor seating, friendly staff, cheap
Cons: poor quality food

Read morePros: good choice, large portion sizes
Cons: no vegan dessert option, no soy milk for coffees

But there vegan garlic bread was lovely .

Limited vegan options - Edit
The pub is in a wonderful location and offers a great choice of vegetarian options but falls down when it comes to vegan ones.
Read moreEverytime I have been the two vegan options are spicy and my partner cannot tolerate spice. The chef did alter a vegetarian meal for him to make it dairy free but we felt it would be a good idea for them to have one regular non spicy vegan option. The pub gets incredibly busy in the summer and is probably best avoided due to the wait time for food - on one occasion an hour for a starter and the waitress did not apologise.
The prices are reasonable and the food is very tasty but it is not a good choice for vegans.
Pros: location, good vegetarian options
Cons: poor vegan options, not recommended in summer

New Forest Vegan - Edit
Eating out in the New Forest is tough for vegans if you don't love chips. Even at the Queens head the veggie menu is great but it's standard last minute stuff for vegans. The ecuse for the delicious Mushroom pie not being vegan is so pathetic I forget why. The best we've found in New Forest apart from Chinese Indian etc but it could so easily be AWESOME rather than just OK and that's annoying
Read morePros: Vegetarian, Traditional British, Good Value
Cons: Vegan
