The Gamekeeper

The New Forests, Newest Hidden Gem

268 Woodlands Road, Woodlands, New Forest, SO40 7GH

The Gamekeeper is a pub and dining venue at 268 Woodlands Road, Woodlands, Hampshire, on the edge of the New Forest, where Bella and her team welcome guests. It is built on the belief that restaurant-quality food can be served in the relaxed, informal setting of a great local pub, using the finest and freshest local produce in dishes that are seasonal and sustainable. Its range of Wadworth ales is impeccably kept, and beers, wines and spirits are chosen to complement the food. It is a small venue, so booking is recommended, though walk-in diners are taken where possible.
