One night into our stay at the forresters and all I can say is bloody fantastic. The place itself, the room and the friendly atmosphere are great, but the food, the food it to just die for. Me and her indoors were blown away by the quality of the meals in the resteraunt last night!!! The tapas style starter, the Melt in your mouth beef, and even the chips were out of this world!!!
We haven't even left yet, but we will be back....
Our second visit was on Easter Sunday (forgot to review our first visit a couple years ago) - both times were fab & I would highly recommend Forresters. Despite arriving 50 minutes after the lunch service had ended, we were warmly accommodated. Food was hot, fresh and delicious... with the excellent customer service a bonus!
Amazing food and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Will definitely be visiting again when we are next in the area.
Excellent dining. The place to go for something other than pub grub.
Amazing food , atmosphere . Loved the whole evening . You are missing a great experience by not going for a meal here .
We had a lovely stay and the food was excellent especially the French onion soup, the best I have ever had 👍
Had a gorgeous lunch today here - Gougère Ratatouille. Lovely wine & handmade chocolates with great coffee . Lovely restaurant , lovely service . Will be back for dinner - lots of choice . A little slice of France in Teesdale �
Food was delicious and the people was friendly lovely hotel went to high Force amazing place to visit or have a weekend away thanks to the staff there x
A firm favourite for a meal out with our group of friends! Fantastic food every time with friendly service - thoroughly recommend...
Excellent meal - food and service faultless!
We had two outstanding meals here, the food is seriously good. The Beef Bourguignon is amazing.
Excellent food service and atmosphere. Very good value for money. Highly recommended.
Lovely place excellent staff great food
This place is my absolute favourite. It is the friendliest, liveliest, most fun little place, with delightful staff and the most divine food (I'm vegan). The rooms are spacious and well decorated with lovely powerful showers and tea/coffee/treats. I cannot recommend the Forrester's enough, especially if you are up for a night you won't forget in amazing company. Don't miss out!
Well! If you disregard this Restaurant, you missed a good thing! Super friendly caring staff, fantastic choice of drinks and we'll the food really hit the spot outstanding. Thank you for doing it right.
Now 4th visit - see 5 🌟 food review below. Restaurant food brilliant. Exceptional quality and great value.
3rd Visit - Quality has always been excellent - Congratulations on keeping up the standards
Booked this room for work, had the toilet upstairs was a double room, comfy bed decent TV nice & clean only downfall (which I forgot) was it's a pub/restaurant quite noisy at night but to be expected didn't bother me that much as I normally don't sleep till 11.30/12 most nights if you don't like evening noise I don't reccomend if you don't mind it then its a decent place to stay, never got to try the food was to late. Following morning one of the staff was really friendly aswell upon checking out!
Came here with my family on holiday they fitted us in last minute and we was grateful for that. Friendly service, nice restaurant with a good atmosphere. I ordered a steak bagette and chips and it was delicious
On our way across from Whitehaven I received a call from the owner asking if we needed to book a table at the restaurant that night. Unfortunately I said no. On arrival the only space left was 5.30pm the rest of the evening was fully booked which just shows how popular it is.
Nipped to the chippy to curb our hunger later on so great, but not as good as the French cuisine on offer in the restaurant..
The French theme appears throughout both the bar, restaurant and our room, as obviously the owners are from France.
Our room was well decorated and split up on two levels with the bathroom on the top attic floor.
This is great as it doesn't feel cramped and nothing felt as if it was jammed in.
The owner was really friendly and chatted to us as we had a beer outside after our arrival.
The Hudeshope Beck runs at the back of the property and whilst you can see it from there the best view I had was from the bridge a short walk away.
If you are visiting the area it's definitely worth trying to book here just remember to grab a table when offered.
Nice little pub , only stopped for a drink as there was no food available the restaurant side was full , we thought you could have food in the bar area , but I would still go back .
Dinner for two at this lovely venue!, staff warm and friendly , the food very authentic and delicious, great service, I practiced a little French language with one of the owners , altogether a very enjoyable experience and good value for money , merci beaucoup
We went here for a family gathering lovely place good food a little expensive but it was nice
A great pub friendly staff and a good pint ,dog friendly to
The foresters provided excellent customer service and buffet for my Stepdads wake earlier in the week. The food for the buffet and service was outstanding.
So before leaving for home we decided to visit the restaurant for lunch.
We were welcomed with a warm greeting.
Lost for choice with an amazing menu. Lots of choice for everyone.
Everyone's meal was very well presented, tasted amazing and was really delicious. Great portion sizes which meant we need a return visit to try the deserts as we were too full Following starter's and main course.
I certainly recommend this restaurant and will be visiting again very soon.
A huge thank you to the Team at the Foresters.
Love this page however I've works recommend booking very early as it's difficult to get in on a weekend - staff are lovely and the atmosphere is lovely and friendly 😀
Just can't fault the place had a fantastic weekend made to feel really welcome by all.Rooms 10/10 made a booking to go back in October.
