Driving through the New Forest and not really heading anywhere in particular we came across the East End Arms (funny as we live in West End which is about 45 min drive away) so thought we would pop in for some lunch. We decided to sit in the bar as apposed to the dinning room, it was really cozy with the log fire burning and we were greeted by a lovely lady. We ordered Mussels which were cooked in Cider, Cream & Samfire with crusty baguette and a Roast Beef Sandwich. I had a lovely coffee and him indoors had a pint of Guinness, the food was really lovely, although the mussels were quite small they were tasty and the liquor was delicious especially with the crusty bread dunked in it and plenty of beautiful roast beef in the sandwich. All in all a very lovely lunch in a lovely cozy country pub with lovely friendly staff...we would definitely call in again if we find ourselves in East End.

Came here for dinner whilst staying nearby, and then a few days later for a drink. Food was lovely, service was pretty good, and had a lovely atmosphere.

Booked Sunday lunch . Liked it nice friendly service and beer was good. Whilst the roast beef was tasty we would have welcomed more vegetables the portion for two was small. The wine was on the expensive side. Overall ok but room for improvement on the experience.

The fact that I chose the East End Arms as our base for Hampshire travels for two nights in September was in no small part due to my love for Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler. While I was never expecting to get an opportunity to mingle with John Illsley himself, I have to admit that my pilgrimage of sorts quickly turned to disappointment due to the current state of one of Hampshire's most renowned inns. The place seems laid back, which is all well and good - but it might seem that by now it has become a tad too laid back for its own good. Cobwebs and dead insects every which way you turn, noisy windows, towels that are teetering far too close to disintegration, decidedly tired furnishings, frankly disinterested staff, rather poor breakfast and no chef so no opportunity for in-house lunch or dinner. While we had been duly notified of the latter, none of the former was expected, or particularly enjoyable. To some extent, any one of those might be chalked down to the inimitable countryside charm - but in this instance, they combine to ensure an end result that was decidedly less than charming.

I was staying in the New Forest, as a Dire Straits fan (John Isley from Dire Straits owns the pub), I thought I would visit. It would have been nice to seen more Dire Straits memorabilia in the pub, though appreciate, it’s not set up, as that type of pub! It’s a very quaint pub, which thrives on it’s food. I didn’t eat there, though I looked at the menu, I felt the prices were high for pub food, but the pub serves, ales and regular lager. I was there during lunchtime and it got fairly busy, if you just want drink, I found it could be a chore trying to get served at the bar, whilst people ordered food at the bar, other than that an ok visit.
