Welcome to our beautiful pub, the Walhampton Arms

We believe that the simple things are often the best. That good times are spent with friends and family, sat around the table enjoying great food and drink. That everyone receives the warmest of welcomes and is made to feel special…..especially those visiting with their four-legged friends!

Set in the stunning New Forest, the Walhampton Arms is just a few minutes from the bustling Georgian market town of Lymington with views of the Isle of Wight across the Solent. It’s the perfect location to relax and explore.

The pub dates back to the 1800’s when it was a diary and part of the Walhampton Estate. That history and character remains, but inside, we’ve bought a rustic and contemporary feel to our dining and drinking spaces, that also provide a variety of options for events or parties.

Our menu’s try to capture the essence of what a pub should be about. Dishes to share and graze from, plus ‘specials’ with that little twist from our chef.

Of course, good food isn’t complete without a glass of ale or wine from our carefully chosen list.

On behalf of the team, we look forward to welcoming you soon!

Dining & Drinking

Our menu combines traditional pub classics with modern, more contemporary dishes offering something for everyone.

Whatever you choose you can expect fresh, lovingly prepared home-cooked food.

With food served each day, we also have a range of vegetarian, vegan and of course dishes to keep children happy.

Location

The Walhampton Arms is located in the historic New Forest National park and just a couple of minute’s drive, or a short cycle into the historic Georgian market town of Lymington, making it a great destination for locals or tourists alike.

With it’s numerous attractions such as Beaulieu’s National Motor Museum, Exbury Gardens and the forest’s seemingly endless miles of tracks and nature trails inhabited by an array of wildlife……it’s perfect for cyclists or ramblers alike.

Of course, the Forest is famous for it’s wild, roaming ponies and picture postcard villages too. The Isle of Wight ferry is on our doorstep, handy if you’re taking a trip across to the ‘island’ and in need for refreshment!

The Walhampton Arms are members of Go New Forest

Set in over 219 sq. miles of woodland and heathland, the New Forest dates back to 1079 when the then King of England, William the Conqueror, designated the area as his personal hunting grounds. Today, it’s one of the most beautiful places to escape to for a few days.

“Sunday Lunch - Booked during the week, thanks to a friends recommendation and was not disappointed, the carvery was amazing, the best we have seen around the area, vegetables green instead of wilting away - crispy potatoes and pink beef (yum). The chef on the carvery even convinced my daughter to have some carrots - normally she won't touch any veg - we were impressed. The team were great, could see they were struggling but clearly had a sign upon entry stating understaffed due to illness. We will definitely be returning - thanks walhampton team”
