The Elderflower Restaurant

Visited Lymington on 27.05.2023 for a family funeral. Decided to make a few days out exploring the wonderful South Coast too. Were looking for Gluten Free fish and chips and although there are several fish and chip shops around, surprisingly none we came across between Milford on Sea and Lymington offered these. We were so delighted to eventually find that The Elderflower Restaurant had an ' A' frame board on the pavement outside offering takeaway Fish and Chips, asked if they fried Gluten Free and yes they did. We were expecting the usual box of fish and chips to take away and asked if we could sit outside at their wooden tables and chairs and yes, were permitted too. We sat down waiting for our order and a lovely lady came out and asked if we would like cutlery, napkins and plates instead of the boxes to enjoy our meal at no extra cost. A warm summer evening made most enjoyable by The Elderflower going above and beyond for customers, we also enjoyed a beer and soft drink too., obviously extra cost. The fish we were informed was caught in the Solent, just yards away and was so fresh, tasty and delicious along with the chips, pease and tartare sauce also provided with the fish and chips. At £15.50 per portion, definitely worth the price and if we lived closer would visit more. Such a delightful restaurant in a fantastic location thank you for a memorable meal. Highly recommend the staff, food and brilliant customer service. Apologies for no photograph, after such a day, we were just so hungry and ate them before thinking about taking one!

Fabulous meal at the Elderflower Cooking Club, with chef Andrew demonstrating three courses with clear instructions and recipe sheets to keep, with a pen to scribble notes. All ingredients from local supermarket too. Great fun and lots of laughter to go with brilliant meal. The pudding was to die for... Lemon meringue soufflé which as even gluten free. We will be back!
