For some warming, home cooked food
Tim, Kay and our friendly team welcome you to join us for drinks and to dine in our traditional forest pub where homemade food means stunning quality and made on the premises.
Tim, the landlord, originally trained as a master butcher and now uses these skills in the kitchen. He personally cuts all our steaks, steak-burgers and sausages on the premises. We only use local New Forest venison, pheasant and rabbit in our seasonal game dishes which are prepared by Tim and his team of chefs.
If you do not have time to dine in or prefer to eat in the comfort of your own home, no problem. We also sell packs of our homemade sausages and burgers. Keep this in mind when you visit us or are just passing by, take a taste of New Forest home with you!.

Swung past here on a Monday afternoon and had the most wonderful experience. Lovely pub and the most amazing food. What was going to be lunch turned into a 3 course meal. Mackerel pate to start, amazing portion and gorgeous. Fish and chips for main and wow. Chips perfectly cooked and a piece of haddock the size of the Isle of Wight. Cooked fresh with the most amazing crispy batter. Stuffed and was going to skip a pudding until offered the chef's cheesecake which was white chocolate and raspberry. Quite frankly the best pudding I've ever had anywhere Over ate but don't care as food was amazing. Everything home cooked and stunning. Can't wait to go back.
Booked well in advance for New Year’s Day as staying at nearby holiday park and had had a lovely meal there back in August. Great meal and excellent service by Sam. Friends joining us later in our stay arrived and we couldn’t eat at the park as fully booked due to lack of staff so we went again. The service (Sam there again!) and food was so good we went again!! Ate there three nights of our four night stay! Very accommodating as there was seven of us, one baby and five dogs! Staff couldn’t be any kinder and polite and food and drink excellent! Definitely going again on next visit. Thanks all.
Under new management we thought we'd pop in to see what changes had been made. The team were very friendly and hospitable. Unfortunately for us our favourite cornish beer and cider are no longer on draught (one of the main reasons we personally liked picking this venue.) With that being said they still had a great range of drinks to choose from. Opted for a light bite style lunch, my friend had nachos and I chose the bacon brie baguette. The nachos were big enough for a main course or a snack sharer and the cheese had been layered through the dish. Exactly what you want rather than a bowl of crisps with cheese on top. The bacon brie baguette came out and was more than enough to satiate my hunger. I'll definitely still visit the Fighting cocks, unfortunately maybe not as frequently (because of the rattler.) A definite place to go if you're local/in the area though.
Had a really nice Sunday lunch, portion size was huge, certainly worth the money. We had pork and beef, both had plenty of meat and very tasty. The staff were very good, friendly and helpful. Dog friendly. The only thing that would put me off going again is that the place was quite ‘sticky’, the furnishings were filthy, it felt like the place would benefit from a good clean and some new furniture.
A wonderful pub located on the edge of the New Forest NP where you'll see an abundance of wild horses and wildlife whilst you sit and enjoy a meal or a drink. Dinner of beef and ale pie, a Tomahawk steak was delicious. Friendly staff and warm atmosphere.
