Stayed at The Forest Home pub in my camper van on the 27.12.23 in there car park for one night whilst in the area The staff were friendly and polite. The food and Beer was really good I had steak pie chips and peas the steak pie just melted in the mouth with plenty of steak and the John Smiths was great as well also has large outdoor seating area one side paved other side grass also a children’s play area would happily use again when in the area
Visted for a light lunch three times over a monthly period .
Have to say the most impressive pub I've been to this year . Warm atmosphere, you feel it as soon as you walk through the door . The staff are friendly and efficient.
Spacious bar with lovely solid oak topped tables ,
Would really recommend the side salad, a creation containing pickles of cauliflower , gherkins,
and onions hidden among the tonatos and fresh green leaves .
The main dishes too look plentiful.
All in all, a visit to the Forest Home
is well worth a visit .
Can’t rate it highly enough friendly bar staff nice atmosphere clean W/C and the Sunday roast was excellent and they serve Henry Weston’s 🥰
Visited here for the first time this evening, after recently moving to the area - have to say, one of the best meals we have had in a long time.
Proper home cooked style food, quality and quantity was great, worth every penny.
Kids portions were a great size.
Food was thoroughly enjoyed!
Cannot wait to come back again.
Lovely pub / restaurant. Free parking. Big garden with enclosed play area. Big portions of food, also an option of taking the food you haven't managed to eat home with you in a cardboard container. Reasonably priced. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. 10/10. We had 2 dinners of the rack of ribs, and it is massive and tastes fantastic! Also, you would not be disappointed with the other options. The lamb shank, liver & bacon, mix grill, and chicken burger was amazing. The chef also made substitutions for the picky eaters. It is nice to support a local pub / restaurant. We have eaten here many times and we will keep coming back.
Mother’s Day lunch was absolutely lovely. It’s been a very long time since I had crispy roast potatoes in a restaurant. The roast was perfect and piping hot. Topped off with a complimentary glass of Prosecco for all the mum’s. Lovely atmosphere and great service from lovely staff. Most definitely booking again!
We stopped for lunch on the off chance after a visit to Lepe beach. The inside has a friendly and traditional pub / restaurant vibe, the team were very welcoming. We sat outside on a surprisingly warm February day, the kids were well entertained in the play area and enjoyed looking at the horses in the field next door. We were surprised to find such an extensive menu of pub classics and specials - and everything we ordered (chicken burger, ribs, steak, goats cheese tart, kids burgers) were all delicious, well cooked and good quality. It felt like we’d found a hidden gem, will definitely return when next in the area.
Lovely pub food was worth every penny roast beef and roast pork portion size cannot fault. Lovely out door garden with play area for children. Definitely recommend.
What a nice pub dined on my own starter of white bait was delightful staff very helpful just waiting for my lamb shank and it’s special
Traditional pub, nicely decorated and atmospheric. The food was really tasty and good portion sizes and we felt it was value for money. Staff were friendly. We had gammon egg and chips (3eggs!) I had lamb shank which was lovely and we had sticky toffee pudding and coconut and lime cheesecake- both very nice. Recommend ✅
Really nice family feel place. Lovely wood burner. Food was very fresh our mushroom risotto was made to order and we were advised of a 30 min wait to do so which was fine as the result was a fabulous fresh dish not a warmed up version. They allow motorhomes to stay over night which is a bonus for us motorhome owners. Overal a really nice feel to the place.
Have been to The Forest Home a few times but never really felt the need to write a review before.
Eating there this evening was a delight. We ordered two drinks at the bar and our meals and took our seats.
About 15 minutes later I had a rare 16oz steak, chips, onion rings, grilled tomato, mushroom and side salad placed in front of me. My partner had The Forest Home burger and she said it was great... but I'm a simple fellow and steak is life.
Waitresses couldn't have been more attentive. Very Covid secure in this time of uncertainty.
Will definitely eat there again!
Nice outdoor seating. Get the app and order and pay at the table. Great! The cheese and bacon burger was brilliant. A big chunk of beef, tasty bacon and melted cheese, delicious! Chips tasted great and the mixed salad with dressing was so much better than the usual side salad you often get with a burger. Will be returning.
Stayed overnight in my Campervan (they are part of the Britstop network), couldn't have been made more welcome. Evening meal was really tasty and there is a good variety of dishes on the menu. Very friendly and attentive staff.
Delicious meal & relaxed atmosphere - would definitely recommend x
Delicious main meals, served hot and with a smile. Didn't much like the bread and butter pudding, not the traditional recipe.
Excellent pub, great quality of food. Lovely atmosphere. My go to pub whenever I am in the area.
