Where to eat

Just a couple of recommendations from us from our recent trip to the New Forest.

The Fishermans Haunt (near Ringwood) we went hear on a Sunday afternoon and ended up getting the Sunday roast dinner which was excellent. It was £14 each and you got a good sized portion the surroundings were very nice and they had a lovely beer garden too. Staff were also very helpful and polite well worth a visit for anyone in the area.

The Rising Sun (New Milton) More of a traditional family pub but still excellent. Very good value for money and the beer wasn't too expensive either also they have a play park out the back next to the beer garden so ideal for those with children, dogs are also welcome.

Both of these sites are within a short drive of the clubs New Forest Centenary site.

Was pleased to see a reference to the Healthy Prep Kitchen in Morpeth, in this month's magazine.

Have been there and can heartily recommend it's Vegan dishes - even though I though I am not a veggie..

Correction by MOH, they also do smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels.  Not vegan but healthy eating as the title suggests

Had some smashing Fish and Chips at Erics, situated between Thornham and Holme-next-the-Sea in North Norfolk.

Excellent GF and normal fare. They have a sit down cafe and a takeaway, open long hours. Also have a premises in Holt and one in St.Ives, Cambs.

Highly recommended, if a bit expensive.

Anyone in the Horwich or Bolton area could do worse than eat at Cafe Italia Bolton, Moss Bank Way.

It's open most of the day and would make a good coffee and Cannolo stop or a full meal. Their Pasta and Pizza dishes can be GF if required. Really friendly service.

Last Saturday we went out with family (BiL, SiL, niece and her OH).  BiL, SiL and niece are coeliac, and SiL also dairy free.  We went to the HIGH MOOR in Wrightington, near Wigan.  They have a separate GF menu and  the staff were very helpful with dairy free suggestions.  We all enjoyed it very much.

Don't you have to go through immigration control to get in to Wigan 😉

On a simple note asda sausage butty 3 cumberland sausage 95p reduced to 72p  we thought it was lovely 

Had a smashing meal at The Angel in Holmesfield not far from NTs Longshaw Estate.

Virtually all of the food is Gluten Free but don't think the quality is reduced because it isn't. Haven't enjoyed a pub lunch like this in ages. They do Light lunches for those with smaller appetites plus they also try to make as many dishes as they can Dairy Free. 

Reasonably priced when one considers how much GF and DF products cost.

We'll certainly call again when in the area (or even if having to drive out of our way!)

If anyone is near Abbots Bromley/ Burton on Trent area, it's worth a visit to High Ash Country Store for a hot drink and cake.  The on-site cafe is called Cobwebs and they serve the most wonderful home.ade cake.  We haven't been out there for a while now, but it is well worth a visit......  this thread has made me think a visit to Cobwebs is long overdue.  P..S there is also a gin supplier, butcher, and other small outlets on site.  Great for an afternoon's ride out....

High Ash Country Store/ Cobwebs: Goose Lane, WS15 3DF Abbots Bromley
