Country pub serving food all day everyday set in the New Forest just outside of Lymington. Our restaurant space can be hired out for private dining or join us in our pub area for classic dining experience or drink.

In a tranquil riverside location only 3 miles from Lymington in the New Forest, the Old Mill is a prime venue for al fresco dining and drinking, with external terrace dining for over 200 as well as an informal pub garden.
