Forest

Myself and my husband were in York last weekend to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary/my 50th birthday. I wasn't overly impressed with the vegan option for breakfast at our hotel so thought we'd book in somewhere for Sunday and Monday morning. On the Saturday night as we were ambling back to our hotel my husband showed me Galtres Lodge which is where he was going to book for our stay but the only room available had a bath but not a shower. Anyway we were looking at the menu at Forest (where Galtres guests eat) and I was impressed. We called in and booked for the following morning. I had the Gardener's Breakfast and my husband had the Santa's Breakfast, they were so tasty and the atmosphere and service so good we booked in for our evening meal. We both had the roasts, mine was the vegan option. They were so incredibly tasty, we didn't want them to end. Even the sprouts (which I never eat!) were polished off! We had breakfast here again on the Monday morning and it was excellent again! I hope we'll be able to come back to York sooner than we had done (we last came 21 years ago when we got engaged) and return to Forest. Highly recommend it!

Came here under all the online posts and social media attention this place has gotten. Made a reservation but arrived early and the accommodated. Place is quant and very attractive inside. They sat us at a table but was not the most comfortable as they had huge metal type table legs that make it hard to get in and out of. I hit my knee a few times and foot got stuck once just trying to get out. Took sometime for anyone to come around to introduce themselves as our server. Like maybe 20 minutes. Even after we received our order we didn’t see our server again. We had to flag them down to get our check. Food was very tasty and satisfying. Very comforting on a rainy night. If I am ever in York again I may comeback but hope they improve on their service.

Beautiful little gem in York. Great prices and amazing quality of food. The Salmon meal was a taste sensation. Light but full of taste and beautifully presented. The Rump Steak looked delicious and greatly enjoyed by my guest. Definitely will return again.

We had an absolutely stunning dinner here. Booked a table a few days in advance. Asked for a dog friendly table. It appears to be a very cute table separated from other tables and we felt very safe (dog wise) and cozy. Had goats cheese croquettes and whole hog as starters and lamb as mains. I was so tempted to lick my plate 🤣 And to finish we decided to have dark chocolate fondant (one each obviously)! Nice wine, very friendly service and brilliant food!

We popped in for lunch on a spur-of-the-moment decision, and wow — it didn’t disappoint! The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavour, the team were so friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere and interior were absolutely lovely.
