Welcome to The White Buck - Your Country Retreat in the New Forest
Established in the early 20th century, The White Buck has evolved from a grand country house to a cherished pub and boutique hotel.

Renowned for its unique name inspired by a local white fallow deer buck, the venue became a cultural hub in the 1960s, hosting iconic acts like The Wurzels and Gerry and the Pacemakers.Today, it combines historical charm with modern comforts, offering refined pub classics, stylish accommodation, and versatile event spaces. Nestled in the New Forest, The White Buck provides a tranquil retreat while remaining accessible to local attractions. Our commitment to quality ingredients, seasonal menus, and personalized service ensures a memorable experience for guests seeking relaxation, celebration, or exploration of the surrounding natural beauty.

Had lunch today with my other half. Food was ok, service was polite enough but had to go looking for staff for cutlery when meal was served. Small portions for the price. The burger was 16 & with very few chips. We want a decent portion of food for that price when we go out. My other half said the burger was nice but had a third of the chips than me which I had a side portion which was 4!! I had sourdough with lentil
Pate also, which was too rock hard! Lemonade in my vodka was 1.25 for a dash of. Overpriced for what we got. Why doesnt anyone serve decent portions at decent prices anymore

We Visited at lunch time for a bite to eat, we were very happy to find it not very busy, we were seated and advised it was table service, the lady took our drinks order and left us menus, drinks arrived and our food order was taken, thus far all very good. I ordered the burger 16 not cheap but had eaten here before so thought the food would be good. Well how wrong was I, I have attached a photo so no more will be said except that we also had the try and find a waitress for the next 10 minutes to get some cutlery to eat our now cold food with, I think in this day and age the hospitality industry

Such a lovely Christmas experience. Nicely decorated room, where the suite were beyond expectations despite the online pictures. Superb service where children and dogs are just as welcome everywhere. Great food too!

We've now had two very enjoyable meals here with family. We've been for Sunday Lunch and an evening meal and enjoyed the food both times. A good range of beers including a few craft ales and very enjoyable food. Family also commented that the fabric of the building is much improved from the renovation over lock down.
