The Royal Forester - Redditch

We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday party at the Royal Forester with over 30 guests. The facilities were fantastic and family-friendly, and the buffet provided excellent value. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making for a successful afternoon. The venue made organizing the gathering stress-free and enjoyable. I would highly recommend it.

I stayed at this pub with a friend for two days while hiking. The staff was great and the atmosphere was nice, but the food was mediocre. The curry was dry and lacked flavor. The menu indicated that the food options were more typical pub fare, which suited our needs. They did have a good variety of draft beers available.

Sat with a red letter day voucher with my wife and my young daughter for a afternoon tea. at the arrival we were shown on our table and asked if our daughters had a separate sandwich as part of the tees for (This...was a really nice note and our daughters really enjoyed their sandwich and share the cake.) the afternoon was by far the best we had. quality ingredients and all really fresh. would highly recommend the afternoon. we had in past a meal in this restaurant and again it was clear to see and taste that quality ingredients were used. we will visit again! please support a local company that offers quality.

Sunday, don't recommend a fucking lunch to anyone they like to visit unless it's just to use the loo.

We were in the past many paintings for dinner and Sunday dinner here, and it was always very good. sad to say something has changed. we had a nice starter, but our roast was not at all pleasant. the bubbly pork was served with...un scratched, sharp and hairy skin. the bark was overtaken and there was no possibility as we would have cooked it. (the bark may sound smoky, but that was a food store before. the braids looked like they were cooked and sweated before they were reheated, the broccoli/cauliflower was still hard. that is why we did not stay for dessert. the whole look and the feeling of the place has changed, both with the decor and the atmosphere, it felt more like a kantine than a restaurant, especially in the bar area. there is a lack of professionalism throughout, its not clean and tidy, as it was once, no personal uniform / in reasonable clothing, many young workers with an obvious lack of training. the toilets were either in stock, damaged sitting, worn donating and not as clean as they hope. we were so disappointed that we would not return.
