Researched with care — never a guarantee. Menus and kitchens change, so it's always worth a quick word with staff before you order.

At a glance

A historic forest pub on Rope Hill in Boldre, between Lymington and Brockenhurst, known for its Classic Menu, daily Chef's Specials and a Hot Stones menu. The pub keeps a gluten free version of its standard menu and will add gluten free specials when warned ahead.

Gluten-free options

The pub says its standard menu identifies gluten free dishes and that a gluten free version of the menu is available, with the kitchen willing to add gluten free dishes to the specials board for diners who mention it at booking. Recent visitors report coeliacs eating well here.

Before you order

The pub asks you to mention the gluten free requirement when booking and again as you order each course, which suggests dishes are adapted to order. Nothing published describes how the kitchen keeps those orders clear of cross-contact, so ask directly.

Worth asking?

How does the kitchen keep gluten free orders separate during a busy service, especially fried items? Is the Hot Stones menu suitable for coeliac diners, and how is the stone cooking kept gluten free?
