Customer Review Summary
Scotch eggs are the dish reviewers raise most, with one praising them warm and runny. Close behind are the mushroom stroganoff, ordered with beef in some cases, and the lamb, either slow cooked shoulder or shank. Others name the creme brulee, sea bass, fish cakes, broccoli and Stilton soup, cheesecake and bakewell tart. Diners describe fresh, homemade cooking, generous mains and a focused menu and wine list. They also mention a friendly host who gave recommendations and service called personal and welcoming. One says it feels like dining at a friend's independent restaurant. The one recurring reservation is atmosphere. Two diners celebrating a birthday and anniversary found it less lively because they were the first customers in at 6.00pm, though one says it improved as more people arrived.

“Myself & my partner enjoyed the experience at White Tails. It was difficult to find something decent to eat in the area. Luckily we've found Ramsay's little germ. The food & wine was good, we were well looked after and will definitely go back again.”

“What a wonderful find! This is a small restaurant that feels cozy and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The service is personal and attentive and the food is excellent. We had the soup and scotch eggs as starters followed by slow cooked shoulder of lamb and mushroom stroganoff. All the dishes were very good and the mains were very generous. I like the fact the menu is focused and personal and the same goes for the wine list. Would definitely return if in Brockenhurst and really liked the personal feel of the chef and owner working together to create a welcoming and memorable meal. Fair priced considering the high quality.”

“We visited here whilst staying locally and had an enjoyable evening. From start to finish it was great with no complaints. There was a good menu choice and the service was brilliant. We chose the soup - Broccoli and Stilton and prawn linguine to start with. Followed by fish cakes and the mushroom and beef stroganoff. We finished with the cheese board. Everything was delicious and can highly recommend. We plan to return as soon as possible.”
