    Our visit to the forest was great. Very friendly and helpful staff. We had a small issue with one order, but this was amended immediately and the food that returned was perfect. Overall the food was top quality and serving was speedy. Liam, our server, was fantastic! He was a great help and very attentive. I will definitely be returning.

    I reviewed Sunday lunch at the Fence Gate a few weeks ago, saying how good it was. Not a patch on the Sunday roast we had at the Forest today. Stunning. So much food we took half of it home. Delicious and the service was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

    We have visited the forest previously and it has never disappointed. The food and service is always consistent. We've eaten a variety of dishes but their Sunday lunch and pizza stand out they are delicious. We go every few months and it is lovely when staff remember you especially the manager Sean who is extremely polite and helpful. Big shout out to all the staff who make our visit pleasurable. We will certainly continue to visit next year
