We had a pint after a walk on a freezing March day, we were welcomed by a lovely fire and friendly staff. The beer was good too. Would recommend based on our experince. Grassington is great too. Cheers

We chose the Foresters for lunch after a recommendation from a passerby. Big mistake. The Inn was drab, menu uninspiring, emphasis on quantity over quality and presentation pseudo-pretentious.

My partner and I arrived into Grassington late morning, and having made an early start chose to have lunch here before a late wander around the village. We were greeted by the barmaid although not convincingly in a friendly manner as we clearly were from out of town. We ordered drinks, although we had to have an alternative from our... More

Stayed here on first night of a 6 day walking holiday. Got a great reception from bar staff on arrival and was made to feel at home. My companion, staying at a nearby B&B, and I decided to dine at the Forresters and were not disappointed with the quality. Our food was well prepared and presented, if a little pricey.... More
