About
Step into our First Class Pullman dining carriage and enjoy the very best in contemporary International cuisine. We serve popular, honest, traditional dishes, alongside seasonal specials and more adventurous fusion fare. Book your own cosy restaurant booth, eat in the bar or enjoy the light and spacious Observation Carriage that opens out into the hotel courtyard. In warmer weather diners can eat al fresco in the courtyard or undercover on ‘Platform 2’. As well as breakfast, lunch and dinner we serve a quintessentially English Afternoon Tea. The Pullman welcomes all ages. Family bookings are most welcome and our children’s menu means we serve nutritious, appetizing and well-balanced portion sizes to all the family.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I went with my son and some friends for lunch and as it was a lovely sunny day we sat in the courtyard, just as the inside is railway-themed the courtyard is like a train station, with pretty railway cottages, a platform and an observation car going through a tunnel. We were looked after by a very attentive waiter and nothing was too much trouble, we all had drinks to start and water was also provided for the table. My son enjoyed a meal from the lunchtime special set menu, you can have two or three courses (great value, this would be my top tip), he opted for the Fish and Chips followed by ice cream and couldnt recommend it enough. I had a lighter meal from the sandwich menu and enjoyed a Bacon and Brie sandwich and a side of chips. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and we can not wait to return. If you are in the New Forest near Fordingbridge it is worth a vist!

Refurbished beautifully to a high standard in a railway style. The restaurant has been decorated just like a Pullman coach with comfortable carriage type seating, curtains around the 'carriage windows' and even overhead luggage racks. The food was superb - everything cooked to perfection, tasted wonderful and there was a great choice of gluten free options. The staff were professional but friendly. We enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish and will definitely be going back.

What can I say, between us we had the roast beef and roast pork and they were both probably the best Sunday lunch ever (and we’ve had a lot). The only way they could improve would be with cauliflower cheese, but that’s just me! Wish we’d had room for pud! Great service.

Dear 583lizzyh, Thank you so much for your wonderful review of the Pullman restaurant! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our Sunday lunches and that you found them to be among the best you've ever had. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly consider adding cauliflower cheese to our offerings. It's great to know that you had a fantastic dining experience with us and that you appreciated the great service. We understand that feeling of not having room for dessert when the main course is so satisfying, but perhaps you can save room for a sweet treat during your next visit. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Pullman restaurant, and thank you for choosing to dine with us. Warm regards, Manuel Marcano, Hotel Manager

Characterful building. Very nicely set out restaurant with exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable staff. Food was absolutely delicious (only downfall was that they were out of a few things so slightly less options). There were 4 of us and we had starters, mains and desserts. Every dish was tasty and full of flavour (all 4 plates were clean at the end of each course but that's not to say the portions were tiny!). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I feel the need to review the visit I had following a query which the Railway answered very positively. I would not hesitate to have Sunday lunch there again the staff were amazing as was the setting. I highly recommend a visit you will not be disappointed - even after having a query it was answered in the very best way.
