We have been going down to the New Forest every year for many years now and we usually make a habit of visiting The Buttery for lunch or a cream tea. The ambience is nice, it feels very quaint and the cream teas are good, the shortbread teddy's are particularly tasty and I make a habit of buying one every... More

We recently went to the new forest for our first family holiday with our 15 week old daughter. We did visit The Buttery on a visit a few years ago and remembered that they did very nice hot chocolates and Milkshakes so we thought we would pop in again when we were passing through. The Buttery is a nice place... More

Best choice of cakes in Brockenhurst on the day we visited (we checked them all). Our cake choices were excellent. Good coffee (and Bev says I'm a coffee snob). Waiter Jong was cheery and attentive.

The toasted sandwiches were one of the nicest i've ever had. They also had a large selection of cakes that looked very tempting. I wouldn't hesitate... More

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
