As the days grow longer and the chill of winter begins to fade, there’s a fresh sense of energy in the air here in the New Forest. The first signs of spring are appearing – brighter mornings, lighter evenings, and that welcome hint of warmer weather just around the corner. It’s the perfect time to dust off your sunglasses, gather friends and family, and make the most of the great outdoors.

Our beer garden is ready and waiting. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the forest, it’s the ideal spot to relax after a countryside walk or simply to soak up the improving weather with good company. There’s something special about that first alfresco drink of the season – the sound of laughter in the air, the gentle clink of glasses, and the promise of sunnier days ahead.

Whether you’re in the mood for a fruity Aperol Spritz, bursting with refreshing citrus notes, or a classic pint poured to perfection, we’ve got just the thing to help you toast the arrival of spring. So why not join us, find a sunny spot in the garden, and celebrate the season in true New Forest style?
