“Fab French food in the middle of nowhere” – on the edge of the New Forest – has won a devoted fan club for Claude Laage’s establishment, now 30 years old and an “all-time favourite restaurant” to many for its “wonderful Gallic experience” and “superb wine list”. You can also eat inexpensively here, from its ‘Le Frog bistro’ menu – same space and servers but much less fancy Gallic fare.

“A great place at top of its game”“this very French establishment” on the edge of the New Forest “works hard under patron Claude Laage and has a loyal following”. There’s now “an extremely good-value set menu with a wide range of choices” branded as ‘Le Frog Bistro’ – which operates “rather confusingly in the same space”; “the food is all good”.

Albeit “a little cramped inside”, Claude Laage's relaxed-yet-elegant outfit wins nothing but praise for its “real Gallic charm” and “great value” menus; “wonderful wine selection too”.

A “little corner of France in the New Forest” – Claude Laage’s “all-time favourite” is known for its “true Gallic charm, fab food, wine and ambience”. “Such terrific value”, too.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
