The Foresters Arms (Frogham)

Known locally as the donkey pub, The Foresters Arms in Frogham has always been a New Forest favourite. But recently it's been spruced up, given a stylish, rustic and rather chic update, and painted muted shades of dappled woodland greens. The look is comfortably eclectic - a mix of tartan and exposed brickwork, antlers and lampstands, in-vogue character cushions of Geisha faces and traditional pews, old pine tables and auction finds. The chefs serve come delicious top-notch grub whether it's yummy sarnies, seasonal specials, or great pub classics, all our dishes get given the same love and attention. There are still donkeys at the gate, dogs (on leads) are welcome in the bar, and there is a sunny garden, complete with outside barbecue and bar; perfect for the long summer weekends. Winter time it's a place where you can hunker down beside the wood burner and tuck into a heart warming dish to see you through the crisp, clear, cold days that the New Forest does so well. It really is a treat of a pub with award winning beers, friendly locals, gregarious staff and of course always a space for the dog!
