The Greenwood Tree

Stopped in for lunch and had a cheesy jacket potato which was really delicious, with a big, fluffy potato and a fresh, well-dressed salad on the side. The café is bright, clean, and spacious, with well-spaced tables and a calm, comfortable feel (nice and cool inside on a warm day). They have a full standard menu and a separate gluten-free menu. Plus lots of vegetarian and vegan options too, so there’s something for everyone. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and everything was spotless. The cake display looked amazing – all homemade – and they offer a deluxe cream tea menu that includes a chocolate scone!...which I will definitely be going back for! Overall, it’s a really nice local café with a good variety of food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended if you're in Lyndhurst and fancy a proper sit-down and refuel.

Great food with enough variety. Priced for tourists though so watch for that. The service was a little confusing - very quiet server who met us to seat us and didn't tell us whether to go to the cashier or table service etc. But they filled up our waterbottles for us when we asked which was nice. Lots of gluten free options.
