The East End Arms is a traditional country pub and restaurant located in the beautiful New Forest National Park, with delicious food, locally brewed ales and five cosy, comfortable bedrooms. Bought in 1990 by John Illsley, bass guitarist of Dire Straits, in order to preserve it for the local community, the East End Arms has managed to retain its loyal local following while also drawing in visitors from outside the area, attracted by the authentically good food and relaxed atmosphere.
