About Us

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. Hearty, freshly cooked pub classics. 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 wine from our carefully chosen list, or a local cask ales.

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

Visiting the New Forest

“Great place to stay. My partner and I booked a last minute night away here last week and didn't expect too much, just wanted a room to stay. We were pleasantly surprised however and the room istelf was lovely, very clean and modern. We ate dinner and breakfast in the pub and the food was really lovely, service was great and very welcoming. We honestly had no complaints and would 100% recommend!”

“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”
