I was in Fordingbridge recently with friends and we popped in here on chance on a Saturday lunchtime and all had extremely good lunch. Very friendly staff and warm pleasant atmosphere and busy as well. There is a varied menu at very reasonable prices....plenty to choose from including 'on the board' , (the Steak and Kidney pudding was tasty and well cooked) Will definitely visit again !

We came here for dinner on Friday evening. The atmosphere, service, menu choice and food was excellent. My partner ordered a steak medium well done which was overdone so we’d suggest ordering slightly under what you usually like (I blame him not the pub ). Camembert and risotto was delightful. We’d definitely return.

Reviewed By Aldert V

We found the owner very friendly and had a nice chat with her. The food (aged beef as a main) was good although not at Michelin star level. Our main concern is that we found it too expensive for its quality: £29.50 just for a steak and vegetables is a lot of money. We also thought that the restaurant itself could do with an update, it looks very 70s -80s, but that is a matter of taste of course.In sum, there was nothing wrong but we did not find it an exciting evening out either; perhaps also because it was virtually empty. The dry aged middle cut fillet is the best you can possibly buy & we are Michelin rated, not with a star, where the same dish would cost you considerably more.

During the last week, I have eaten here twice: it now has become my favourite eatery in the area. On a weekday, I enjoyed the Hunters chicken with mushroom sauce, with a large party of ladies. Despite the numbers, the service was efficient & friendly, with excellent attention to the customers. Today I enjoyed their excellent Sunday lunch, beautifully cooked & presented. This will be the venue for entertaining guests in the future.

Ended up here on a trip through the forest with visitors. Had a fantastic lunch and great beer and very friendly staff. My vegetarian partner said her food was clearly cooked by someone who loved food and my burger was fantastic. Shared breads could have had a little more bread for the amount of dips but everything was very tasty.

Quick and helpful service, as always in our experience. We chose to have main course and pudding and were happy to wait for the food to be prepared. As usual, it was well presented and came with separate seasonal vegetables alongside, included with the chosen items. A comfortable table, with NO music in the dining area (there's quiet music in the bar-service area, for those who enjoy it -- we don't).This is our chosen venue for eating out in this area.

Under new management. After a period of refurbishment we have recently reopened. Offering fresh local produce cooked to order. Pub classics done in a modern style to something a little bit different.

A very well presented pub, more of a restaurant really. Great parking brings you into the Cartwheel, which is very well decorated throughout. We had a carafe of white wine- nice idea. Then three courses of very well cooked locally sourced food. Lovely evening with great service.Thank you for your glowing review.We have only been open for 6 months following an extensive renovation. We are proud of how it has lightened up the space without losing the feel of a country Inn.Our food is as locally sourced as possible and along with the passion of our chefs it tells with the quality on he plate. I must not forget our attentive waiting staff who often go the extra mile to ensure great customer satisfaction.Hope to see you again in the near future.The Cartwheel Team

If you are visiting soon... you must go here and have the halibut. It was seriously one of the most delicious dinners I’ve ever had. Maybe have a bottle of South African Sauvignon Blanc to go with it... up to you. The staff are amazing, the venue is stunning and the food is fantastic.
