About Us
Established in 2022, New Forest’s Finest has quickly become the “plaice” to be for the best fish and chips in the area. Known as the flagship location for the Lee family group, this restaurant brings a dream to life for Shane, who has aspired to open his own restaurant since leaving London in 1988.
Managed and co-owned by Dean Cummings, who joined the Lee family in 2018, New Forest’s Finest represents a journey from fryer to part-owner. Dean honed his skills at J-Henry’s in Hedge End and Sonny’s in Fair Oak, working his way up from fryer to shop manager, now taking the helm at this beautiful New Forest eatery.
With both a dine-in restaurant and a separate takeaway entrance, New Forest’s Finest is perfect for those who want to enjoy their fish and chips on the go at one of the nearby parks.
Next time you’re visiting the New Forest, make New Forest’s Finest a must-visit for a true taste of local flavour!

Wow, wow and wow! Among the best fish and chips I can count on one hand that I've eaten after half a century on this planet! This was my second patronage, eating in this time. Again, the service was amazing, the food was exemplary (the batter a highlight on the cod - so light and crispy). Good value all round. I will definitely be back again for my third meal, when I'm passing by. Thank you to the owner and the staff 😀
