Lovely to be back!

A lovely welcome from the new landlady, we were so pleased to be back after nearly three years. The service from the waiting staff who are all youngsters was outstanding well done all. Our Sunday lunch was off the scale, we both had beef which...just melted in the mouth, gravy just like Grandma used to make and plenty of it, there was cabbage, carrots, swede, mashed potatoes, amazing Yorkshire pudding and the most inviting roast potatoes and parsnips and without asking horseradish sauce ready for us! Desserts were spot on and I at last had my Eton Mess really missed that! We will be back very soon. Thank you so much for the welcome.More

Great pub

We were booked for Sunday lunch, based on reviews. A table of 4 adults and none of us were disappointed with anything. We had 3 meat roasts and a vegetarian option. We were served vegetables to share. There was more than enough. The food was...was well cooked, fresh and hot. The service was excellent too, thank you Evan. The deserts were also very tempting, 10/10 for the lemon cheesecake. I would like to return next time I'm in the area.More

Delightful and delicious

The best steaks we have ever tasted, served with chips, mushrooms, peas and onion rings, absolutely delicious. Lovely old pub in an idyllic setting. Dog friendly too. The owners also allowed us to stay in our Motorhome in the car park overnight. Fantastic walks nearby...alongside the river and up through the forest, world class cycling tracks, looked excellent fun.More

Disappointing visit, ruined by rude chef.

Disappointing visit. Went for bit of celebration dinner (end of holiday). Really wish we’d gone elsewhere. Met with a rude welcome by the chef. There was no reason for her to treat paying customers this way. Serving staff clearly embarrassed (bless them) but it had...already ruined our evening. We were the only ones in there so atmosphere was dead (7pm in evening). So we really noticed the awful cheesy pop music playing. Pity, nice looking pub. Food average.More

A brilliant country pub!

We’ve visited the Forest Arms a number of times and always look forward to returning. The food is always superb, home cooked and reasonably priced. We’ve had meals from both the main menu and Sunday lunch, which we’ve thoroughly enjoyed. Relaxed setting and welcoming owners,...highly recommended.More

Fantastic mid week meal

Visited for the first time and wonder how it has taken so long to do so….as we live less than 20 minutes drive away. A mid week meal with friends, was a great experience from start to finish. Relaxed and very welcoming throughout, the food...was fantastic (we all had the pork belly off the special) and the portions generous, finished with a selection of the homemade desserts. Needless to say the second visit will not take as long to happen as the first did!More

Great visitor-friendly atmosphere and food was fantastic

We had a garlic bread to share which was the start of a lovely meal. Between us we had the gammon with egg and a 12oz steak. Both were cooked to perfection. Atmosphere was great and a real friendly visitor-riendly vibe was immediately apparent.

Wonderful food, fantastic hospitality

George and the team are amazing hosts. The food and hospitality is superb. We had dinner on Friday night (most of us had a selection of burgers) - personally recommend the Hunters (Chicken burger). Super tasty - make sure you're hungry as they are big!...And followed with Sunday lunch. Again - SO much food. Plenty of sides. You will not leave hungry. Thanks for spoiling us George and team. We will be back soon.More

ANNIVERSARY EVENING

A very pleasant dining experience here. Perhaps the ambience could be considered a little void of atmosphere, a little low volume background music may assist but more importantly the food was lovely and very reasonably priced . Also the service is first class. Will visit...again.More
