The New Forest Hotel, Ashurst

We went to this pub for a rare family meal out. When we got there they had no record of our booking and the carvery that we had been assured was available ran out at 4pm.

When ordering the food, we were told we had a 45 minute wait so asked if the children could have some bread whilst we were waiting. The chap looked at us and laughed and shook his head. He told us it wouldn't make our food come any quicker and we would have to wait 45 minutes for the bread.

At this point we walked out and went to the Happy Cheese 2 minutes down the road where we were served very quickly and had a wonderful roast dinner and service with a smile.

Will never go back to this pub again.
