Forresters Bar & Restaurant with Rooms

This was an amazing experience! Food was very good, nice housing, the people were absolutely splendid, and they made us feel very at home. The town was very sweet and gave us a very warm welcome, and there are many spots nearby within walking distance.

Yet another delicious meal at Forresters restaurant here in the village.
Greek orzo salad for me and the child’s sausage and mash for Ronnie.
SO pleasing on the eye and very tasty. Light, refreshing and perfect for a blustery summer’s day.
Compliments to Jo in the kitchen; you never fail to impress 🤗. XxR

Stayed in a lovely room for our 20 year Anniversary weekend away. Room was clean and tidy and bed was comfy, had a great night's sleep both nights. All the staff we met were really friendly and helpful. 
We enjoyed a fantastic meal at the French restaurant, highly recommend the food👌 
Spent a day walking round the beautiful waterfalls, then headed back to enjoy fish and chips from the local chippy. Had a fab weekend, thanks so much 😊

Made a point of visiting Forresters after visiting Barnard Castle. The food was as excellent last time as it was this time.
Entering from the bar we were welcomed by a friendly young barman who doubled up as waiter. We chose to sit in the restaurant - away from the clatter of the pool table.
To start we ordered cheese soufflé and crispy chicken. Both were well prepared and presented. My only recommendation would be that the chicken could be accompanied by something to add a little ’kick’ to the dish. The accompanying chutney didn’t quite pull it off. That’s not to say that it wasn’t thoroughly enjoyed!

For mains we ordered belly pork and boeuf bourgignon. Double excellence. Tender pork with really tasty accompaniments. Fall apart beef with a rich sauce and generous portion of mash. Both without doubt among the very best food we have eaten out for a long time.

Food prices are just a little on the high side but at around £30 a head including two drinks each, it represented really good value for money.


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.

Booked with friends for a Birthday treat. What a find! The food was excellent, the service was, “top draw”. Looking at the wine list, I’ve encountered wore in Top London Restaurants.  The choice of all the courses were imaginative and well presented. Forgive the decor, it’s the food and the experience that you pay for. Definitely one to return to soon.

It was a lovely surprise finding this little gem during our camping trip. I haven’t eaten French food as good as this outside of France.Beautiful food, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. It was clear you had a system that didn’t overbook the restaurant to provide quality service to all of your customers. We enjoyed every bit of our meal. Thank you!

Popped in for lunch after a walk round Cow Green reservoir & Cauldren Snout, served by lovely polite young man , the lunch menu was fantastic (even the doggy menu) but the deserts we had were amazing delicious as well as a work of art

We stoped two nights at the end of April  the room was lovely and big and bath with the sky window ( sorry not sure on proper name ) was amazing so you could be on bath and look at the night sky . Was not expecting the room
To be serviced on 2nd day but was . (Covid  . During our stay all staff was lovejy and professional at all times 
Due to a leg injury I  am not able to walk as far or as quick as my husband but when we was checking in I said to the gentleman it’s ok to show my husband  the room and o would catch up  however he waited for me  which was very nice of him  as I understand they are busy . We are both nights in the restaurant . Frist night I had  the tomato and orange soup whixh was amazing  and the beef bourguignonne which was one of the best I had . A very large portion my husband had the mini  hotdog  can’t remember the name but it was lovely and beef burger for main . The second night  thw starters the same  and same mains but other way round . I want to gine full criedt to all the team as I have food allergies which mean I can’t  eat egg  or cheese .  And I made the team aware of this and thwy informed the chef and also informed me of what I could have off the menu or how it could be be changed . I had the buger without the bread bun ( due to type of bread bun ) w went out their way to make sure I was happy with the food and to met my needs 

 Sorry the only room o could see for improvement. If using  the car park at back could do with sign saying bar /reception this way from the bottom  of steps . It’s only a  very small thingy

Review is of restaurant only.
The best value food we've had for a long while.
We both had a drink - classic french chicken main courses and excellent coffee to follow - £40 including service charge.
For the money, portion charges were large - so large we couldn't fit in a desert.
Mains were nearly perfect - so so tasty and well cooked.
Would recommend to all my friends - and will visit again!

Great weekend away

TOP NOTCH NOURRITURE

Stayed 2 nights. Room was nice. Quite quirky with the bathroom upstairs. Room was lovely and warm on our arrival and very clean. We had two dogs and this was not an issue. Room had everything re facilities. Tea / coffee, TV, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Water was hot and plentiful.
The room is above the pub so can be noisy, as can the noise of other guests getting to their room but this did bother us.
We dined the first night. Good selection and food was lovely.
Throughout staff were friendly and helpful. Asked if we needed a room refresh on the first morning but just needed more tea / coffee.
Hotel is great for local walks and links to Barnard Castle and High Force.
A great stay, thanks. Would definitely use again if in the area.


Great stay

Amazing food and service 

Great place for food!

A hidden gem

In a nice part of the village, with car parking at the rear of the hotel, they allow dogs in the room. For a small charge and also in the bar, the food is highly recommended with lots of choice, French bias with friendly staff who do want to help. On the down side the service charge is added to the food bill with out me having known about it or mentioned on the menu.
