A day at Paultons Park is brilliant fun, but it does work up an appetite. If you’re planning where to eat before or after your visit, here’s a simple local guide to keep everyone happy.
Eat with us
The Mortimer Arms sits right by the park entrance, so it’s the easiest option for families and groups. Expect proper pub classics, seasonal specials and a children’s menu that does the job. Book ahead at peak times and we’ll have your table ready.
Quick bites before you go in
Starting early Try a light breakfast or coffee with us before you head through the gates. It sets the pace for the day and saves queuing once you’re inside.
After the rides – relaxed suppers
Once the rides are ticked off, wander over for a calm sit down. Puddings are a crowd-pleaser and there’s plenty for tired little ones who need food fast. If you’re staying in our rooms, you can head upstairs afterwards and put your feet up.
Other ideas nearby
If you want to make a day of it, the New Forest has lots of cosy cafes and village pubs within a short drive. Think tea rooms in Lyndhurst, lunchtime stops around Brockenhurst, or a seaside fish and chip treat if you push on to the coast. Ask our team for a suggestion that fits your plan.
Tip Book an early or late sitting to miss the post-park rush. It keeps things easy and relaxed.
