Melleford rated No.1 Café in Hampshire on TripAdvisor

Tony, Becca and the team at Melleford were delighted and proud to discover that they are the No.1 Café in Hampshire on TripAdvisor.

Melleford also have an impressive 5 out of 5 TripAdvisor Rating.

The café/restaurant commented on Facebook; "A huge thank you to all our amazing customers for your continued love and support — this means the world to our team."

A couple of the latest TripAdvisor Reviews read:

Wonderful
Today we visited for Sunday lunch (you’ll need to book!). From the three meat and two vegetarian roast options (also fish pie or meat/vegan burger) we chose the pork with burnt apple and miso and two vegetarian wellingtons. The food is beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and most importantly, absolutely delicious. The mains were served with two splendidly risen Yorkshire puddings and a generous selection of tasty vegetables and roast potatoes with unlimited gravy… after which we were full… but a Sunday lunch deserves pudding. We opted for a strawberry ice cream and lemon posset; the posset came with a generous finger of homemade shortbread - perfection!

A 5-Star experience in beautiful Milford-on-Sea
Great food, fantastic service and an engaging decor all make for a tremendous experience at Melleford. With lots of vegan/veggie options and excellent value for money, it’s no wonder Melleford gets so many 5-star reviews.

To book a table please call 01590 718390,

PS: This follows on from the recent news that Sammy's were Runner Up for Coffee Shop of the Year in the A&T Food & Drink Awards 2025. 

Add to this the Paddle on the Green and Polly's Pantry, and it just shows how we are spoilt for great cafés in Milford on Sea.

About Mister Pink's

Mister Pink's fish & chip shop was founded over 50 years ago by Malcolm 'Mac' Pink. Following Mac's retirement, his son, Steve Pink, took control of running Mister Pink's until recently.

The popular takeaway was originally located in the high street towards Keyhaven before moving to its current location on Church Hill, Milford on Sea many years ago.

Mac Pink lived in retirement until the grand age of 93, before passing peacefully in January 2024.

Steve Pink had been at the heart of Mister Pinks for over 40 years before in December 2024 taking well-earned retirement. 

Ella and Dave purchased the long-standing and much-valued village fish & chip shop in December 2024.

Previously, Ella had been Assistant Manager, and Dave the long-term Chef, at The Smugglers Inn just across the road.

On taking over, the couple introduced an extended menu, specials, a kids menu, and a brand new logo for the business.

Record-Breaking Season for Milford on Sea Tennis and Squash Club

Milford on Sea Tennis and Squash Club has just completed an extraordinary winter season in the Dorset Tennis Leagues, securing a record-breaking performance. The club, located on Lucerne Road in Milford, fielded 12 teams across various divisions in the winter 2024/2025 season, and their efforts have truly paid off.

The standout achievement of the season was the success of both the Men’s and Ladies’ 1st teams, who triumphed in Dorset Division 1, defeating some of the county’s most established and competitive clubs. The Ladies’ teams showed their remarkable strength in depth, with the 2nd team clinching the top spot in Division 2 and the 3rd team claiming victory in Division 3.

In addition to these incredible victories, several other teams delivered exceptional performances. The Mixed 1st team earned a hard-fought second place in Division 1, while the Mixed 2 team earned promotion to Division 1. The Ladies’ 4th team also came incredibly close, finishing as runners-up, narrowly losing out to Christchurch Tennis Club.

Head coach Dan Hitchins expressed his pride in the team’s achievements: “It’s been an amazing season, and to have so many successes is fantastic for the club, especially given that we’re not the largest club and have a relatively small catchment area for players. This success is a direct reflection of the dedication and hard work put in by our players every week.”

Milford on Sea Tennis and Squash Club continues to build on its reputation as a welcoming and friendly club. Offering tennis, squash & racketball memberships, along with a coaching programme for all ages, the club invites anyone interested in joining to come and experience the camaraderie and excellence that has driven their recent record-breaking success.

With such a remarkable season behind them, Milford on Sea Tennis and Squash Club looks set to continue their winning ways in future seasons.

No64 Pizza Prepare for Summer Season on their Birthday

Three years ago, No64 Pizza was founded by Glenn & Clare, and since then, their charming  converted horse trailer has attended many local events and parties serving delicious handmade pizza.

Glen has sent us a review of their journey so far, and plans for the coming season:

"It’s hard to believe it, but No64 Pizza is about to celebrate its third birthday, and what a wild, dough-filled ride it’s been! What started as a lovingly restored horse trailer, and a dream of sharing great pizza, has grown into a much-loved part of the local food scene (and a regular feature in party photos all over the New Forest).

In just three years, we’ve had the honour of serving our pizzas at some amazing events: Dogstival, Milford Music Festival, Sway Carnival & Fête, New Forest Fruit Company, New Milton Rugby Club (junior tournaments), Keyhaven Yacht Club, Flack Manor Brewery, The Pig Brewery, and we’re now proud to be a preferred supplier at exclusive venues like Pylewell Park and Palais des Vaches.

This year, you can catch us regularly at our residency at the brilliant Brew Forest in Lymington, and we’re delighted to be back again for Sway Carnival, Sway Fête, New Forest Fruit Company and New Milton Rugby Club. 

There is nothing we love more than being invited back, it’s the biggest compliment we could get (except maybe hearing “that was the best pizza I’ve ever had!”, which we also hear quite a lot, just saying...).

Our real passion is private catering, weddings, parties, anniversaries, and celebrations of all kinds.

That’s where No64 Pizza comes to life. Every pizza is made by hand, in front of your guests, using the best fresh Italian ingredients. Our dough? Handmade. Our tomato sauce? A top-secret house recipe. Our ovens? Gozney stone-fired beauties, built into an original, professionally converted Sinclair horse trailer. She’s not just functional, she’s fabulous.

And while we love feeding a crowd, we’ve never been about slick marketing. We don’t do advertising, and we’re famously terrible at social media — we built this little business on reputation alone. 

If you’ve eaten one of our pizzas, or booked us for your event, thank you, you’re the reason we’re still here, and we’d love it if you could leave us a quick Google review by clicking herevia the QR code (if you’re clever!), or tag us on Insta: @no64pizza

Thinking of having us at your next event? We’d love to chat! Pop into our shop No64 Biscuit House in Milford on Sea high street and speak to Clare, or give us a call on 07950 933466. You can also browse a few drool-worthy photos on our website: www.no64pizza.co.uk

We still have a few dates left for this year, but they’re going quicker than our Margheritas at a wedding!

Thanks for supporting our little slice of pizza paradise — here’s to year four, and to many more pizzas, parties, and good times."
