East End Arms – LymingtonAnother lovely meal at The Chequers. Such a warm welcome from the friendly staff. Can’t recommend the Chequers highly enough - there’s a lovely walk nearby so take your dog and then walk off your lunch. One day I’ll leave room for pudding!
The Chequers Inn – LymingtonFirst time we visited yesterday 25th January 2026. The staff are all amazing and friendly which makes people keep returning. Food is very tasty and quite big portions. My boyfriend had just a main but I had to go for the full 3 courses and so happy I did. My bf had Pork Belly and veg, I had Garlic Mushrooms for starter then ham,eggs chips and extra beans then I had a lemon meringue pie with cream. We will most definitely be returning at some point. We love all the New Forest pubs that we've visited so far, never a bad
The Chequers Inn – LymingtonVisited The Checkers Inn Pub for the first time on Sunday. Its a beautiful little pub. I was able to book a table online. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. We had a beef Sunday roast dinner & it was very delicious we both loved it. Highly recommend visiting this pub. Prices are very reasonable & great value for what you get.

The Chequers Inn – LymingtonHave visited several times. Every time the food has been very good with large portions. Sunday lunch is particularly good. Nice beer selection from the local (ish) Flacks brewery. What is really nice is the staff and people running this pub are super friendly.
The Chequers Inn – LymingtonAlthough it was very quiet on a wet, winter, tuesday evening, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food was good and the service excellent. We will definitely return.
The Townhouse – LymingtonDelightful afternoon at the EEA, food and service both excellent.
East End Arms – LymingtonWe held my wife’s surprise 60th birthday party here and it was amazing. I had 3 incidents of contact and planning over 6 months leading to the event and DC could not have been anymore helpful, accommodating and friendly. DC went out of his way to help us plan the event, booked the whole of the restaurant area out for the whole day for us so we could set up with balloons, banners and bring a cake. He was extremely flexible around adjusting the buffet to suit all tastes, including a Vegan and one with Gluten intolerance. He was happy to add items and to put a pre-paid tab behind the bar so guests had free drinks. Overall the whole experience was amazing, he could not do enough to make sure Bev’s party went well and he also dedicated himself to serve us for the evening. The food and drinks were also of a very high standard and the prices were extremely reasonable. Overall, 10/10. Highly recommended.
The Townhouse – LymingtonHaving previously enjoyed meals at the East End Arms, we invited friends to join us for a meal there on Saturday evening. On arrival we were immediately given an apology that the restaurant was about to close for a holiday break and the menu was restricted, and this proved to be true. The menu appeared more limited than I remembered and we were also informed that certain dishes on the menu were no longer available. When the meals arrived in some respects it also appeared that they were running out of supplies. The quantities of food also seemed to be rather restricted - very few vegetables. Also whereas our bookng was for 7.30, it transpired we were the last booking on that night, and it seemed all along that the staff were keen to get us to place our orders and get us served and out of the door. All in all whereas we were hoping to impress our friends as it was their first time there, I rather suspect they will not be rushing back.
