Antepli Exclusive Restaurant — Restaurant in New Forest

Unfortunately a very disappointing experience. Upon entering we were told by a server that we aren't allowed to buy drinks until everyone has ordered food!? But then after 2 of us ordered a side, they changed their mind, seemingly for no reason. The food was overpriced and underwhelming, frozen discs of tasteless "falafel" the same as you get in kebab shops, and 4 small slices of halloumi for double the price of a whole block in the supermarket.
