"If I could give more stars, I would! My husband surprised me with a birthday gathering of 8 people here a few nights ago. The staff were so incredibly friendly and attentive and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and all the little extras on the cheese boards made it even more enjoyable. I have been to similar local chain cheese and wine bars and think the value for money was so much better at The Cellar. The cocktails were delicious too!!! Can't wait to come back again."

"My wife and I went for a meal to celebrate our 25th (Silver) wedding anniversary. Things started ok, ordered the seafood sharing platter for starters. I had a pasta dish, my wife the lamb shank (at £25). The starter came and it was really very good. Here is the end of the good bits! My pasta dish was fine, nothing special, but perfectly fine. However, my wife 's slow cooked lamb which should after 6hrs (as claimed) be falling off the bone, wasn 't. In fact it couldn 't be prised off of it! Unfortunately the waiter or manager checked on us quite soon after our meals were brought out. I said mine was fine but my wife stayed silent as she wasn 't yet sure. But the time I 'd eaten mine, my wife had given up with well over half of the lamb remaining on the bone. When he came over to clear the plates my wife said that she was unable to eat the lamb as it was so tough and sinewy still. He didn 't seem very happy with us for saying anything negative about the food so she demonstrated to him and he finally agreed it shouldn 't be like that and took the plate away. From then on we were pretty much ignored, no apology, no offer of a different dish or anything. After 20 minutes we were asked if we wanted desserts, at first we said yes until we discovered there was nothing we wanted so asked for the bill. He took £9 off the bill for a £25 dish that my wife couldn 't eat. Then when we said that we didn 't expect to pay for that dish he argued with us and said my wife was wrong, there was nothing wrong with it and that it was our fault! Not wishing to completely ruin our anniversary, we paid and went elsewhere for a lovely dessert! We won 't be back! Awful service, rude, arrogant manager, below average food."

"The room we were moved to seemed like it hadn't been decorated, giving off a shabby and almost derelict vibe. The waitress seemed unsure about a sauce that was featured on many items on the menu, including my girlfriend's burger. The burger arrived as a sloppy mess on a plate, lacking any garnish and with chips being an extra cost. My girlfriend only ate half of it as it was overly saturated with sauce, leaving no distinct flavor. I ordered chicken wings which were served on a saucer and drowned in too much sauce, with no garnish and lacking any flavor. It was clear that no effort or pride was put into the presentation or taste of the dishes. While I understand that most items are deep fried, they should at least be appetizing. The pub only offered Red Stripe lager on tap, with no bottled beer options. Overall, our experience was disappointing in every aspect, and we have no plans to return to this establishment."

"I have been at the ringwood btp for many years and after two years as a vegan the choices are quite limited. the spicy jackfruit roll from vegan was great, but that's gone. the new vegan burger is good with cheese and pickles."

"Super food, service and ambiance (apart from the very loud and frequent beeping that we never figured out what it was!! Our evening was great, catching up with friends after 2 years of lockdown. Great meal and flavours with attentive but not overattentive service. However,...a great evening was rather dampened by the bill, which added a 75p charge for every tiny request ... a bit more coriander 75p, a bit more heat 75p, jalfrezi normal heat 75p. Every tiny request cost us 75p, which quite honestly miffed us off when we already had a bill of over £130 for 4 people. One point to mention was that I asked for a jalfezi without peppers. However 75p wasn't taken from the cost if the meal, but £1.50 was added for coriander and a request for normal jalfrezi heat!!! I understand businesses are trying to recover post COVID, but 75p for extra heat??? Really??? Put a bad taste in our mouths and made us question whether we'd go back!!! Don't eek out every penny from your customers, its not a good business decision in the long term."
