Oh my gosh this place is amazing ! I can’t believe something this chic and cute is in the new forest! The staff are so lovely and the interior is so cosy and aesthetically pleasing. Every little bit of potential comfort has been thought out. All the furniture has been really well thought through.
This cafe has a nice selection of food on its menu. The small menu assures you that the food is cooked fresh. I ordered a breakfast and was pleased at the way it was cooked with healthier options like scrambled eggs and grilled bacon.
Food was wonderful, service was amazing & I was incredibly impressed by the level of gluten free options at the afternoon tea. Will definitely be returning. Photos of my gluten free which was shared between two of us.
Firstly the food and drinks were great. My husband was super skeptical because of the decor which is...eclectic. Don't let this put you off. We had a lovely lunch and were impressed by the loose leaf tea. We will be back when we're in the area.
Love this place. The family are always welcoming and make food to order if you ask nicely! Dog friendly, food is always great and the atmosphere is on point. Highly recommend. Note: seating can sometimes be tight but I wouldnt want the Pantry any other way. Its quirky and relaxed!
Excellent service for a large group of 10 for brunch, staff were fantastic at handing our large group all whilst managing other orders and our constant top ups of delicious coffee! Cosy cafe with a sun trapped garden available. Food was fantastic and was all served in a timely manner.
Stopping in the area for a week and needed a place for a quick bite. Toasted sandwiches were superb and the husband said the coffee was the best he'd ever had! Staff were very attentive and friendly. Give them a try .... always good to support good quality local business's 🙂
Incredible value and high-quality food! I took my family here for Mother’s Day (3 adults, a 12-year-old, and a 14-year-old) and I’m still impressed by the price. Everything was under £100 total for all five of us: Drinks: Unlimited! The kids loved the deluxe hot chocolates and shakes with "the works" (cream and marshmallows). Savories: A step above the usual. The chicken was proper roasted chicken, and the brie/bacon/cranberry sandwich was a standout. The kids' toasties were a great touch. Sweets: Fresh scones with clotted cream and jam, followed by the largest selection of cakes I have ever seen for a party of five. The staff were so attentive and friendly despite it being a busy holiday. We left with a massive box of cakes and very happy hearts. 10/10!
A little gem of a place on yhe main High Street in ringwood. Staff polite, efficient Food spot on, healthy good value, tasty food. Has a specials board. Squirmy place in small has upstairs, unique as no identical tables, chairs etc. Clean and tidy. Beats the pub up the road with quality and sevice and environment. No parking use main Ringwood carpark and 7 minute walk to the pantry
I had my baby shower here for 11 of us, the food was absolutely fantastic! We had afternoon tea which was very good value for menu considering the great quality & huge amount of food. Lots of hot drink options and we had a toastie, followed by scones and a huge variety of cakes! Would definitely recommend, Annabel was very accommodating & the team did a great job! Thank you! Will be back!
