    We had an exceptional meal and experience at Forde. My friends came up from Liverpool for my Birthday and I wanted to treat them so a lovely meal and Forde always feels like such a treat. The food was excellent! Especially the steak and the salmon, but to be honest, it was all delicious. The service was outstanding - friendly, helpful and efficient staff. I brought my dog with me and they couldn't have been more welcoming with her. lovely venue and atmosphere and just overall and wonderful experience :)

    1st visit, we both had the 2 course Sunday lunch. Very tasty meal and superb gravy. The veggies were cooked to perfection. Excellent service. Looking forward to a mid week visit to try the small plates menu.

    Went for Sunday roast. Veggie and meat options. Slightly overwhelmed by amount of roast beef and chicken. Yorkshire puds were perfect and vegetables excellent. Service couldn't have been better. Would like to try their small plates option in the week.

    The two members of staff were just wonderful. Attentive, friendly service. Unbelievable food. High quality produce and amazing flavour combinations. Unfortunately we did not have room for desert as the portions were surprisingly filling. The salmon and seaweed in particular were just stunning. Thank you! We will return!
