The Forest

Genuinely awful, limited menu, cramped dining area and some men (I'm assuming managers as no one said anything) being extremely rude and inappropriate to the female staff. Poor girls

Diabolical. Used restaurant only with friends. Service waiting time very poor when only a few people were in the restaurant. We all thought our main course was a starter when only 3 actually had one. Very meger amount for a high price. Certainly not returning.

Just popped in for a meal. Very nice, staff friendly. Great place to eat.

Recently refurbished.helpful and friendly staff. Good menu.what's not too like

Ordered a bottle of House Red at the bar from their online menu and charged 25 instead of 20. Staff shrugged, it was an old menu on the website. Not offered an apology or 5 off or even some nuts, nothing. We asked if the manager could be told but doubt that happened. As another review said "Not nothered". Won't come back.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Best meal I've for many years

Excellent food and service, I had the lobster and cod as a main which was superb, The starter was bigger than the main, I had the chicken wings and my wife had the buffalo coliflower both dishes where huge so we only eat half, definitely will be going back.

I would love to give this pub more than 3 stars but I had been on the Booze all day and cannot remember even being there so apologies

We were looking for a fine dining experience so we had set the bar quite high. The reviews in general were positive so we booked for1/1/2022 dinner at 6pm. The menue was very limited about 4 items per course plus a couple of grill items. The price range was medium, average about 33 for three courses. We shared the house bread followed by bacon chop with chips and a duck egg for me, fish and chips for my wife.

To finish, sticky toffee pudding. Total cost 79.50 including a bottle of Pino. The food was freshly cooked and well presented. Other than the limited choice, we could no fault it. Now here comes the but. It was far from fine dining but that was probably our misreading of the opening reviews etc. What really will prevent our return is the noise. Like most modern eating places there are no soft furnishings or surfaces to absorb the noise generated by social interaction.

This was exascebated by the groups of none diners using the restaurant as a place to meet for a drink. Unfortunately for us we were sat next to four men who spoke and laughed continually at a disturbing volume. The search continues.

The steak was 27! only got about 6 chips with it. The staff were great - friendly and sufficient, the atmosphere was good too. Just too pricey and very limited menu.
