Best Vegan Restaurants in Forest Row

This is a treasure and exudes good taste. An instantly warm welcome from interested, intelligent and engaging staff. Good to meet Andrew who’s running it with grace and professionalism, honed from years of experience in Michelin starred places. The conservatory dining area is an elegant, nicely illuminated, well laid out and acoustically friendly area, ideal for conversation and thank goodness, with no mindless music, just the gentle hubbub of gastronomic appreciation. We had lunch with our octogenarian relative. I chose the vegan, butternut squash terrine….an exquisitely delicious triumph, the best I’ve ever eaten and a work of art! My husband’s burger, sumptuous beef, excellently seasoned, in a delightful brioche bun with beautiful chips. My mother in law chose gammon, perfectly tender and a ‘just right’ portion. Afterwards, very good coffee as our digestive. Later, we walked through to the older part of the pub and found a wonderful fireplace and cosy, seating areas that we’ll look forward to trying next time. This really is the nicest pub/restaurant and a discerning gourmet’s choice. We loved it and will be back.

Fabulous food in a delightful environment with friendly, knowledgeable and efficient service.

Overall the food was good. We had the small plates. The beetroot salad and chantilly carrots were delicious. The crispy cauliflower was disappointing as it was soaked in a sauce resulting in it being soggy rather than crispy. The major dissappointment however was the ambience. We were seated in the area near the bar where there was an excessive use of spotlights so it felt like an interrogation bay. Had we gone on another evening when less busy, we would have asked to be moved.

The steak was excellent, very tender. Disappointing that that fishmonger hadn't turned up so there was very little fish on the menu. Plenty of gluten free options too.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food.
