New Years Eve
At The Cartwheel Inn a warm welcome, delicious food, locally sourced seasonal produce, cask ales, gins, an array of fine wines and a beautiful garden awaits you!
The Cartwheel Inn is located in Whitsbury, where Hampshire meets Dorset and Wiltshire surrounded by stunning countryside. Our 18th-century building was once a farm cottage and housed a wheelwright and a village bakery (you can see the oven next to the bar). We are in the perfect location to visit before and after a nice walk, you may even see a future champion racehorse. Behind the Cartwheel is Whitsbury Manor Stables, the former home of Desert Orchid, Cheltenham Gold Cup and Irish Grand National winner. They also had a group 1 winner of the Sussex Stakes, Mohaather, bred at Whitsbury Manor Stud.
The Cartwheel Inn is renowned by locals and visitors for serving high-quality food with a modern twist, real ales, and warm hospitality. We are very family and dog-friendly and offer many outstanding facilities, such as a beautiful beer garden and a private function room.
