Just a little bit off the beaten track in Lymington, The Haven Bar & Restaurant is a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike.

With a light and airy interior, not to mention a gorgeous outside space that would rival any spot on the Med, diners and drinkers alike are treated to panoramic views over the Yacht Haven.

Food is served from 8am, so you can grab a bite of breakfast and then throughout the day you can pick from cakes, sharing platters, seafood specials and main meals from its ever-changing, locally-sourced menu.

For those who are fond of a tipple, the bar is well stocked with local spirits such as Mermaid Gin and they have a fantastic Happy Hour, Monday to Friday from 4.30pm to 6.30pm, for a well-deserved early evening drink.
