    The only comments made to me after the meal, were that the vegetables could have been cooked a bit more. Everything else was perfect. The amount of food, the service, the ambience and the effort of The Rockingham Arms to cater for such a large party was superb. Thank you Jake and your team for making our day special.

    We were visiting the new forest with our dog and found this stunning pub through social media. Top rated roast and a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back again when we're next down

Really super lunch with fabulous food and very relaxed which we truly enjoyed. And then a very relaxed amble along the tracks beind the restaurant ... wonderful. Until next time, thank you all.

    A well laid out pub with thoughtful and quirky touches wherever you look. The staff were attentive and did all they could to accommodate our requests. The food came quickly, was well presented and tasted just as good. Highly recommended.
