Restaurant Recommendations in the New Forest for Gluten free (and Sometimes Also Dog Friendly)
Gluten free restaurants, cafes and pubs to consider visiting when in the New Forest!
Just as a disclaimer….
I have not been paid, gifted or given anything to write about these establishments. These are my own opinions, I have paid for everything that I have tried at these places and this is not an advertisement.
All of the establishments listed here advertise gluten free options to the best of my knowledge. This may be subject to changes. Most of these places on this list have mixed kitchens that also handle gluten, so always keep this in mind when dining at these places. I have starred all the places, where I have personally visited.
*= I have visited.
Even if something is listed as gluten free on a menu, I always let my server know that I am coeliac and require my meal to be gluten free, which I would always recommend as it has definitely saved me from being glutened in the past.
Now… drumroll… onto the list….
Barton-on-sea, New Milton
* Pebble Beach Restaurant
A nice restaurant with views of the Solent coastline. Lots of choice for us gluten free VIPs, risotto, some salads, almost all the mains, sides (including fries) and even some of the desserts! There are some options for those who are both gluten free and vegetarian as well. Dogs are allowed in the bar and terrace areas.
* Pizza & More
A really good takeaway place for those in the area that are gluten free. The takeaway is affiliated with Pebble Beach Restaurant, which is next door. They also let me bring my dog in to pick up my takeaway, which I thought was really good.
* The Cliff House
Another fab restaurant overlooking the Solent coastline. It is quite pricey, but the food is excellent. There is lots of choice for gluten free. Their mains are especially great, the Fish mixed grill is particularly amazing. They even offer gluten free fries! They are very dog friendly, and even put down a water bowl for my dog by my table, a nice touch.

West Wellow
* The Rockingham Arms
They offer a good selection of gluten free small plates and mains, though I got the impression on the menu that there were not many options for gluten free vegetarians. A big plus, at least for me, is that they offer loads of different carby gluten free sides – triple cooked chips, truffle fries, spiced potatoes and French fries. They also allow dogs in the bar area.
Woodgreen
