Local tip
Sunday lunch is served from midday until 8pm, making the weekly roast a useful option for a relaxed afternoon meal.

The Fisherman’s Rest is a traditional pub and restaurant on All Saints Road in Lymington, Hampshire. Set within a historic country pub building, the venue combines a relaxed bar with a separate restaurant setting, making it suitable for casual lunches, evening meals, drinks and informal celebrations. The pub’s position near the English Channel gives it a coastal Hampshire character, while the surrounding countryside adds to its rural setting. The pub also suits itineraries that include the nearby Isle of Wight.

Food centres on familiar British pub cooking, with seasonal ingredients and a particular focus on locally sourced seafood. Most produce is sourced from within 30 miles, supporting a menu that changes with availability. A bar menu sits alongside an à la carte restaurant menu, and a specials board provides further seasonal choice. Traditional Sunday roasts are served as part of the weekly offering.

The bar serves a range of drinks, including modern craft beers and cask ales. The overall atmosphere is suited to both everyday dining and longer meals, with the historic character of the pub balanced by a more refined restaurant option. A real fire adds a traditional focal point, while the garden provides an outdoor setting during suitable weather.

Families are welcome, and the pub is dog friendly, giving the venue broad appeal for local gatherings and relaxed meals. Step-free access is also available. Three private hire options support occasions ranging from a small private table to larger celebrations involving the restaurant, making the venue suitable for functions as well as standard pub dining.

The Fisherman’s Rest is located on All Saints Road, with access from the A337 via Ridgeway Lane and Rookes Lane. Lymington Town railway station is the nearest main-line station. The combination of seasonal British food, local seafood, a traditional bar and flexible dining spaces makes the pub a practical choice for lunch, dinner, drinks or a private event in the Lymington area.
