Food Quality
Pros:
"The food for lunch and dinner is superb with a great service!"
"All the dishes we ordered were lovely, well presented and tasty."
"All very well cooked, seasoned, freshly made and good-sized portions!"
"The food was exceptional with the cod loin gnocchi dish being one of the best dishes my partner has had!"
"The best Sunday lunch I have had in a very long time, nice to go to an establishment that cooks fresh."
"The food was excellent - delicious classics at brilliant prices and with a good range of drinks to go with it."
"Food was great and the bacon-aise in the burger was fab."
Cons:
"Food was very expensive and some of it was nice but some of it tasted horrible."
"Our food was what I would describe as average pub food."
"Fish pie was OK but the vegetables were just dumped on the plate. Absolute zero effort in presentation."
"Katsu and Korean burgers were bland with very little taste."
"The Mac and cheese was also average, not so much of a cheese taste, more just bechamel sauce."
"Although the meal was cooked fine it ended up just tasting bland without any flavour."
"Food was absolutely disgusting! Was half frozen."
Service

"Service is always delivered with a smile and the food is excellent."
"Our service from Gemma was brilliant."
"The staff were super friendly and helpful and we would definitely return!"
"Staff were attentive and polite. Outstanding."
Cons:
"Service a little slow, having to ask a couple times for condiments and desert menus, and extra drinks on the bill that shouldn't have been."
"Service was a bit iffy but maybe because it was a bit busy."
"The service was honestly the worst I've ever experienced dining out."
"Service was absolutely terrible though. Waited ages for someone to take our order, then waited ages for food to arrive."
"Staff friendly just not attentive enough."
"Service was very slow food not hot enough ordered 6 meals 4 came after 45 minutes 2 meals were about 12 minutes later."
"Had to wait 30 minutes for ice cream for the kids."
Value
Pros:
"Really good home cooked food, fairly priced & delicious."
"The food is top quality and great value for the quality."
"The price of a room packs a great amount of perks – a quiet, clean room stocked full of toiletries, quality tea and coffee, complimentary cookies, tons of delicious breakfast options, and top notch service."
"Very good food, decent prices and super nice staff."
"The evening meal was very reasonable and the food was excellent."
"Good wines, good prices, and food to die for."
"The portions were just the right size leaving nice clean plates and no food waste."
Cons:
"Not sure the price was justified."
"However I would say that the drinks we bought were quite expensive so this might not be a good venue if you are on a budget."
"For £18 we would hope for a bigger portion."
"Needless to say without winning the lottery I won’t be back due to the fact I need a small loan to eat here."
"Sandwiches were £7 which I found to be very overpriced for what you got."
"Overall to get a full roast experience and pudding we paid £75! Hardly value for money."
"As dessert, we ordered apple and berry crumble but sadly the crumble were just oats on caramelised apples.... Not worth it at all."
Ambience & Location
Pros:
"Lovely inn to stay at in a nice location in the new forest."
"This place was beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly clean."
"A beautiful pub out in the countryside."
"A lovely pub situated in the beautiful New Forest, plenty of seating inside and out."
"The Filly Inn itself is a gorgeous and very relaxing place."
"Lovely pub, very picturesque and an amazing garden."
"The location of the inn was stunning, beautiful views of the New Forest and only a short drive from Brockenhurst where we met the local ponies."
Cons:
"The place looked brilliant the main issue was the staff were very unhappy and could barely muster a smile at all."
"We chose other beers.. £6.30 & £6.20 respectively 😟and went out to the garden where the stink from the septic tank overpowered everything."
"Coming back now, all the character and beautiful individuality is gone. Very sad."
"We arrived for lunch yesterday 6th for my brothers birthday... Very disappointed."
"Unfortunately we left a little disappointed."
"Rooms were lovely. Unfortunately, despite advising on the booking form that some of our group were vegan, we had real issues getting the chef to sort out any vegan options for dinner."
"Very disappointed with the blarse attitude towards selling/consuming out of date fruit drinks."
Accommodation
Pros:
"Lovely clean room with outstanding views across Setley Plain."
"Stayed here for a few nights. Great location and such friendly and helpful stuff."
"Stayed here for a night with my Bernese Mountain Dog and were really well looked after, pub and grounds are beautiful as are the rooms."
"The beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms were very clean."
"The whole pub and bedrooms were really fresh and inviting."
"We fully relaxed in their beautifully designed rooms, where every detail has been considered."
"We stayed at The Filly Inn for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rooms were clean and modern."
Cons:
"I had a Groupon Birthday voucher for tea for 2 - but it was very unorganised and very unprofessional."
"Sadly despite putting vegan on the booking form this was not put on the booking."
"Although that is perfectly fine to eat it does not warrant the price of 16£."
"The food is also expensive (£12.50 for a 4-year-old?!)."
"A few chips and all for £16 each!!!!!"
"The waitress apologised and as I asked, took it off the bill, however I’ve never been to a restaurant where food, especially something like pasta that can cool quickly comes in a very cold bowl."
