The Forest Tavern is a great pub that sells excellent local craft beer at reasonable prices. It is a great venue for meeting and having drinks with your friends, followed by enjoying love entertainment from independent musicians. Had a refreshing pint of London Pilsner that costs just under £6. For a craft beer in London, this is an absolute bargain. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return.
I like this pub. Its friendly, accessible, has good service, down to earth, clean, cosy, and has consistently good food. We've been a good few times as its a central location for meeting up. This time we were meeting for our Christmas lunch. The visit wasn't its usual pleasant experience. Ordered our food and drink. So far so normal. And then loads and loads of young kids arrived for a childrens party. The kids party took over the whole of front area. Unfortunately, we were slap bang in the middle of a kids party. The kids were well behaved and the adults all seemed nice, but who has a kids party in a pub? Why does the pub allow a booking for a kids party? And at Christmas time with adults having their Christmas work parties? It was so loud and we felt odd getting merry surrounded by so many kids.
"Good food and staff are lovely"Is what I wrote about six months ago. Overpriced food and arrogant barman is my update. You get more chips at spoons... The extra portion of chips I ordered cost four quid ... Our waitress was lovely and the only good thing I can think to say.
Used to come here quite regularly for the lovely food and service, but returned after a while away and it's gone very much downhill. On the plus side so a great selection of craft and low alcohol beers. But its No longer table service, you order at the bar like in spoons , but unlike spoons you pay £40 for a beer and chips twice! Food was tolerable but my fish was rock solid and the chips passable at best. Sadly we won't be back anytime soon. Save your money and head to the nearest branch of Wetherspoons.
Love this place, haven't been in for a while. The decor still looks 'lived in'! Was a bit worried at first cause I thought they had no hand pump beer...then there on the end of the bar, shining and twinkling was Portobello Star...it was fab, nice and smooth with a lovely bitterness after mmmm! The smell from the kitchen always dominates as the Sunday lunches are being served. Been in today...23rd October they had Star and Autumn Red...both gorgeous!
