A PROPER COUNTRY PUB
Welcome to The Bold Forester
A stunning traditional but modern country pub. Situated on the edge of the beautiful New Forest – its location is ideal for exploring and taking in the scenery where ponies, cattle, pigs and deer roam freely.
Sunday Carvery
We have a brand new Sunday Carvery, your choice of three meats or our vegetarian option every Sunday accompanied by fluffy roast potatoes, stuffing ball and giant Yorkshire puddings. Then help yourselves to as many seasonal vegetables as you like! Every Sunday 12-9pm.
