The Cider Pantry - New Forest

We visit the New Forest every year and one of our go to places for lunch every time is the Cider Pantry. Visited today so disappointed, what has happened to this beautiful gem of a coffee shop. Firstly only serve breakfast up until 12 then no food after that as they close. The cider barn is open if you want coffees from a cheap machine in a paper cup along with cakes and sausage rolls from a bag, you can eat in their garden which now has about 6 tables in the area which isn’t looked after like it used to be, we just walked away, if it continues I can only imagine next year when I visit it will probably be closed.

We had super full English breakfasts a couple of times at this well run establishment. Couldn't fault anything, all was cooked perfectly with a good strong pot of tea with tea leaves. Reasonable prices too.

Loved our time here,food was great friendly staff. Bought some cider for the evening yummy. Definitely be going back

Great Stop On A Great Cycle Route. Stopped off for a Tea (real tea leaves) and a superb coffee. The coffee cake and scone and jam were marvellous. The service was lovely along with the quiet garden to have our drinks in whilst deciding upon the next part of the ride. It would be a reason to go back to the New Forest just to have the coffee and cake.

The restaurant has wonderful staff and delicious food made with high-quality ingredients. They are also very accommodating for vegans and gluten-free diets. We were pleased to see that they allow dogs inside, but we chose to sit in the garden.
