The décor and ambience is not as cosy as its name suggests. It may be great for afternoon tea but we were not over the moon about our cooked breakfast.

Popped in for a sandwich and a drink on a bank holiday lunchtime. Food was all good and the smoothies we ordered were just what we needed on a hot day. Cakes all looked good too. Nice system for ensuring that the waiting staff know you require service! Would be happy to come again

Visited mid-morning on a bank holiday weekend so restaurant was very busy. Had 2 very nice hot chocolates, 1 slice of bakewell tart and 1 very large slice of apple cake. There was a good selection of cakes and scones which could also be purchased as a takeaway for a much cheaper price. Pleasant break whilst wandering around Brockenhurst.

Good food, service was slightly slow, but why rush in the New Forest! Food was tasty and classic English. I really enjoyed the Ploughman salad. Prices are what you would expect for location.

the special was pork chop-it was either very tough or the knives were blunt. didnt have my first choice from the menu. service ok but soulless. food ok but poor value for money, put it another way if half the price would have been ok. even the coffee very average and a small cup. go elsewhere would be my advice

I took my mum here for afternoon tea, purchased via a "Groupon" so a small reduction but still £13.50 a head. The ambience is pleasant and the sandwiches, scones and cakes fresh and tasty. We were given a small pot of tea for two with a tiny jug of just about hot top up water. The first pot provided us... More

My family and I went to The Buttery a few days ago for a light bite and drinks. My husband, daughter and I ordered the soup which was pea and ham and my son had buttered crumpets. Service was quick but when the soup arrived it had a burnt after taste. I can only assme it had been sat in... More
