Forest Hotel

Decent pub. Came for lunch. Food came out mega fast and was tasty. Jugs of soft drink are generous sized. Steak cooked as ordered, shoestring fries were generous. Loved that you can order with QR codes. Plenty of parking. Little things around the edges could be been better: their steak knives are so blunt they couldn’t carve butter. Glasses were dirty. My partner ordered an extra serve of gravy and was told they got a bigger pot (it was the same size as my single serve pot).

Great variety of different locations within the venue, food flavour, size and value for money was to standard for lunch as well. Parking directly out the front, bar staff could be more observant for those paying their wages opposed to their own phones giving them nothing but a distraction for why they applied for the job - tighten up on a no mobile phone policy.

I have been to the forest hotel a number of times before being a local, and have found the food to be quite enjoyable. Unfortunately over the weekend with my family we all ordered main meals for lunch and not one of them seemed to cooked fresh as they were all cold, it was as if they had been sitting under a heat light that wasn’t even on. I’m not normally one to complain like this but in the best interest of your venue I feel you need to know.

Forest Hotel was pretty nice! Very busy when we arrived and took a while to order drinks from the bar. Food said it would take 45 mins but it ended up coming super quickly in about 15-20 minutes. Food was tasty and was also pretty big portions. I had the fried chicken burger which was super crispy and had a nice flavour. The chips needed a bit of salt but were pretty good. Overall food was decent.

I recently visited The Forest Hotel and had a great time! The food and drinks were excellent—especially the pizza and cocktails, which were delicious. The atmosphere is also fantastic, with both indoor and outdoor areas that make it a great spot to chill with the gang. The only downside was the service, which was quite slow. We had to wait longer than expected for our food and drinks. If they could improve on that, it would be perfect! Overall, still a great place to hang out, and I’ll definitely be back.
