    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.

    Hadn’t visited the Forrest for quite sometime and decided to call in for a late lunch. On arrival we noticed that It was very busy and luckily we were able to get a table and order some food. The service from Hope, Caitlin and Beth was fantastic, very friendly and attentive, thank you ladies. Food was very filling and tasted delicious. Will definitely visit again.
