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.

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.

Steaks here are no good- the thickness of them make it near impossible to cook them any less than well done. Roast potatoes are stone cold. Even the waitress said she gets complaints so often about the potatoes. I feel this venue needs to think about their meat supplier and to deliver them portions of meat that can be cooked to MR or even rare. Apart from that service and staff are friendly . Not a bad joint if you’re just there for a cold drink

Today we had a family lunch of 20 Plus people. My lunch was the prawn salad which was very poor. I’m pretty sure all ingredients were prepared days before and the dressing on a Vietnamese style salad was a mayo on the side. The prawns were washed and straight from the freezer and the noodles were the tough. This salad needs a a fresh authentic taste with a real dressing with chilli and sesame oil. Most of the staff were polite, though attention to detail was a little poor when a smashed glass didn’t warrant cleaning up as we had to kick the glass into the drain. After spending just under $1500 on lunch for the family more than 50% of the group were less than satisfied. Plus when an active wasp nest was discovered in the kids playground the manager said it is up to the parents to decide if they want the children to play with the wasps. I have been here before and the food was much better. I’m not sure our group Will come back.
