    In search of somewhere to go for a family meal we came across the Forest. I booked me and my family in with Sean who was very polite and helpful. Even a last minute time change wasn’t a problem and no hassle at all. Upon arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome. Being a Sunday we opted for the Sunday roast. I had the beef which was fantastic. Tender, full of flavour, seasoned potatoes, a good Yorkshire pudding and gravy to die for. Others got the chicken which also looked lovely. It was a nice relaxed family atmosphere. A special mention for Sean who seemed to be running things with great effect through delegation or his charming self. He ensured our glasses were always full without us having to flag down a waitress or waiter. It was just an all round pleasant experience. From the staff, the service, and the quality of food and drink. Certainly the best in the area for food and drink. We now have a solid place to go to for future family meals. Thank you Sean and Team.
