During the Romans time, people travelling for an official mission, were given a document, called “littera tractoria”. They needed to show this document in order to receive food from the specific dispatchers that ended up being called Trattorie.

Situated just off the main traffic route through the New Forest (the A337), this Lyndhurst pub offers the perfect venue in the area to relax, wine and dine.
