  The Trusty Servant is a meeting place for my family from Christchurch and my cousins family from Winchester. The quality of the food and service is first rate. We all ordered off the specials board yesterday lunch time and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Thank you so much to the lady who works so hard serving and clearing tables (wish I had got her name) and for her patience with my dad with early dementia. We’ll be back soon 😄.

  Really great food. Steak & ale suet pie was so good. Very friendly service from the staff. Exactly the sort of pub we were looking for.

  We went to the Trusty Servant as part of birthday celebrations for my husband. It is a real New Forest village pub. Lovely welcoming bar, plenty of food and friendly staff. Marvellous.

  We ate here on Burns Night and we had a wonderful evening. I can't get the Aberdeen Angus steak pie out of my head; it was easily the best steak pie I've ever eaten. I'm really hoping that they add it to their normal menu as I won't be able to wait a year for another taste.

  Not bad, but not awesome. We went as a party of six for a Sunday lunch. The staff were quite friendly and quite attentive. They had run out of the only vegan dish on the menu but offered to make the risotto vegan for me. My son had the roast pork belly which was soft at one end and a bit burnt at the tip - it wasn't inedible by any means but just not great. The prices were at the higher end for a pub but about average for the New Forest, about £14 for a roast. There was a very good selection of vegetarian options. We then had cheese cake which was definitely homemade (big tick in the box!), however, they appear to have soaked the base in cheap brandy - whether this was the case or not there was quite a nasty bitter taste. They served it with ice-cream which offset that and allowed me to finish eating it. Portion sizes were very good. It's a nice atmosphere, but the two tables we tried were pretty squished in - not a massive problem. They also tried to charge us for an extra meal, this was a genuine mistake and they rectified it immediately - it was pretty busy. All in all, it was okay. Personally, I don't think I would visit again but wouldn't discourage others - it could be an altogether different experience when they're not so busy.
