Wonderful, delicious choice of small plates. Hard to choose a favourite but the pigs cheek bourguinon is up there. Would recommend over-ordering to try as many dishes as possible and graze away. Great service too.

A typical modern pop-up type restaurant, small, a little cramped with a compact menu that is overpriced. Not a place we will visit again in a hurry, not the experience we expected from the online description.

Went for an evening meal, unfortunately was a little disappointed. Service was very good, no issues at all there, friendly, polite and attentive - top marks. Unfortunately for us the food took a long time to come and didn't really 'wow' us in any way. I appreciate that tastes and likes are subjective so here's my take on it. Ordered octopus, steak, sourdough toastie, charcuterie board and something else. We were pre-informed that 'food will come out as it's ready'. At the time there were 4 people in the restaurant. It took 20 minutes for the toastie to come out, which was burnt on the underside, then the octopus came out. I was a little surprised that as they are sharing plates, there were 3 pieces of octopus. The steak was cut into 5. Would even numbers be better if sharing? Unfortunately the steak (£19.99) was cold (not sure if it was meant to be, as were the cherry tomatoes that came with it) and didn't appear to be a great cut with various pieces of gristle in it. The charcuterie board seemed to take forever to come, which is odd seen as it was 3 different types of meat put on the plate. To give a mental image - and not wanting to cause any offence to the staff who did it, the same effect could have been achieved by taking your favourite supermarket continental meats packet, opening it and turning the packet upside down on the wooden board. Not sure why that took so long? I would have thought that was the easiest and quickest item to get out of the kitchen. Considering how busy it was when we arrived and for the first 15-20 minutes before others started arriving, we were surprised at how long the food items took to come out. Maybe it was a one off due to new staff or a similar legitimate excuse but we weren't impressed with the whole experience. That said, again the person serving was very good, shame the food let it down. It should also be noted that as the customer, I didn't complain or raise concern while I was there and give Forde the opportunity to answer/resolve issues but in my mind, whoever is cooking the food should know if it's cold etc.

First visit and definitely won't be the last! What a gem of a place. I'd forgotten how much I liked Horsforth. We booked for a late Sunday lunch at 4pm. We arrived early and were seated straight away. Friendly, personable young man waited on our table. We had 2 courses, drinks and coffee. 'Hollyflower Cheese' was absolutely scrummy.😋 Restaurant not too busy. Great music in the background. Thank you.😋

What a night... Great food, excellent service and a good atmosphere. The LS £18 deal for wednesday and Thursdays is a total bargain - we probably ordered too much for comfort 😄. I'd happily have 2 small plates and dessert and still feel very well catered for since the portion sizes are generous for small plate food - maybe an option for a set price menu? Thanks for the great evening!

What an absolute gem of a place. Great food, lovely staff, and fantastic value for money. Strongly recommend a few things, including the baked camembert board, the chicken and egg (which was utterly incredible - so many flavours and textures), and the lobster croquettes. We had five sharing plates, a dessert each, and a cocktail each. Came to £100. Absolute bargain for the quality.

I really wanted to like this place due to previous experience, however , for £17 for a “lobster fishfinger “I’m not happy to pay for mashed potatoes and crayfish tail. I found one piece of lobster in there. The food is very mediocre. I wanted to really love this place because I’ve supported him at the Beehive in Thorner. For me, this place is disappointing.

Ok yes it was my fault! However bad handling and bad customer service on Fordes part. I made the reservation thinking my friend had said this restaurant. I arrived she wasn't there. I rang her we realized I had mixed the restaurants up. She is a vegetarian and there was very little to no vegetarian option on the menu. I told the restaurant the situation they told me they would charge me a £30 cancellation fee. They said my friend could have a tomato salad or a cheese platter for dinner! When we arrived the staff were very nice they said they could change anything on the menu however we ended up just having very salty toasties and leaving. I have worked with the public for over 20 years yes procedures need to be in place for no shows etc.. however this should be a guideline, extremely bad customer service!

Underwhelming We had read some good reviews and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately the food did not live up to the standard of what we were expecting. Found everything to be bland. We had the Camembert where the best thing on the plate was the Parma ham, the cheese and potatoes needed some seasoning. We followed with the monkfish and lamb skewers, both lacked flavour. I find that when I’m paying a premium for the food, I dont want to believe that I can make better in my own home. The brownie, however, was amazing. I did leave still feeling hungry and was not satisfied with the food considering the price

Hi there, we came for dinner this evening and to be honest I’m not the person to leave a bad review on a local restaurant, however after sending a private DM and not hearing back seems disappointing. We booked after reading great reviews and word of mouth. The food was not what we expected and the service was not great. We ordered few dishes but sent the pork back, it was bland, no meat but pure fat not even cooked well. the Catalan bread had no seasoning and on a French bread? Bread had no flavour something from the supermarket? The pork was changed for chorizo but honestly it was liked sausages out of a jar. Prawns lovely seasoning. Nothing fancy for the price you pay. Not 1 member of staff asked how are food was or even asked after sent the pork back. We dine at many places across the world and frankly I haven’t experienced anything like this and neither do in really feedback. But as not one person asked about our experience we were rather annoyed. We may have experienced an odd evening but as mentioned not great standard especially not matching the price. Many thanks

I went with a party of 6 on a Saturday evening. As a veggie I knew that my options would be limited so was not put out that there were only a few plates to choose from. Sadly one of them was off the menu that day, so a bit disappointing. I had to wait almost 20 mins to get a drink, while I waited for the rest of my party to arrive. In the end I had to ask to be served, not good as it wasn't very busy at the time. Anyway, the food ! Sadly I didn't really get on with the whole concept of a 'small plates' menu. It just looked like a cunning way of charging for 2 or 3 plates when I just really wanted a plate of nice food. Of the two plates I had, I found the aubergines so well roasted that they were hard to cut up and digest, do left a lot on my plate. While the risotto was ok, I thought it relied too heavily on salt and garlic to give it flavour. It's probably just that this restaurant it's not to my taste but I think meat eaters may enjoy it more. It's not a place I will go to again. I should add, that I wasn't paying the bill, so thankfully I didn't feel to hard done by.

I love Forde. Not had a bad dish in the four or five times I've been. This time I finally made it for their Sunday summer BBQ board after missing it last year and it did not disappoint. We went for the meat version but there was also a vegetarian option. There was also a selection of sides, but we didn't try one of those A good selection of meat and just the right portion for two. The steak was perfect and the dips were a perfect accompiment. The pork and chicken were also tasty. Nice potatoes and some tortillas were a nice addition. Also had an excellent affogato for dessert. You can see how ace both dishes look in the photos. The service was excellent and I love the decor. It's great food with a nice relaxed atmosphere. I can't recommend enough.

Wow! Last night's meals was one of my top 3 best meals ever! After spotting Mr Matt Healy in Morrisons, I decided to book in and try out Forde for the first time the following week. Myself and my wife opted for the 3 small plates for £18. We chose our 6 small plates and each one delivered perfectly! Each plate arrived at the most perfect time, the service was impeccable, especially as my wife is gluten free so the staff made extra effort with our food. The waitress was lovely and funny and our water glass never ran low! We ordered the bread board, the chorizo, the roast chicken, roasted cod, posh prawn toast and risotto. Credit to the chef for knocking out these dishes in such a small space. Looking over throughout our meal he never seemed flustered despite the restaurant being full. Credit to Matt Healy too for producing these amazing spring/summer plates. The marmite butter and chicken fat butter on the bread board was exceptional. Our favourite though was the Roasted Cod and celeriac mash. No wonder the waitress said "good choice" when we ordered it. My wife ordered a cocktail after the meal and she said it was delicious, I was also impressed with being able to get a pint for under £5 in Horsforth too! All in all a fabulous meal for under £50, one we were talking about all evening afterwards and will be back very soon! Nice one Matt and all the team at Forde.

First time here. Came on a Saturday night in a group of 4. Small restaurant with a cozy feel and modern decor. Staff were excellent. Fast efficient and friendly. Menu is based around small plates and sharing. We decided to try almost all those on offer (except the risotto and ratatouille). Everything was delicious. So much so, that we ordered seconds of a couple of items. Great value. Overall a fab night out. We will be back.

Lovely little place. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the food and drink were great too. They recommend 2-3 dishes per person and in my opinion this is bang on, we had six between two of us and left full but not uncomfortable. They bring out a couple of dishes at a time to not crowd the table, but we were never left waiting for the next dish(es) to arrive. The cocktails were delightful and complimented the food very well. For me, the star of the show was the cod which was served on a celeriac puree, but the other dishes were good too. Almost the entire menu was available gluten free, which is a nice bonus for anyone avoiding gluten. Definitely book in advance, as there are not a lot of tables and they may struggle to accommodate large groups. Overall we were very happy with out visit to Forde and will be returning in the future.

Had a lovely family dinner on a midweek night. It was quiet but there was a pleasant ambiance nevertheless. Staff were attentive and helped us to understand the menu. The food was great. Small plates is a great concept - a bit like tapas but with a British twist. We tried a few cocktails all of which were an imaginative twist on the usual suspects. We'll definitely do again. Thoroughly recommended.

We went for lunch on a Saturday. I had the salmon which was so tasty and my husband had the cod which he enjoyed too. The waitresses were really attentive, friendly and very helpful. The decor is very trendy and the toilet was clean with a nice touch of free deodorant, wipes and nappies. My only complaint is that the pancakes had defrosted frozen fruit on the top which for the price point and with a michelin star chef running the restaurant I would have expected fresh fruit or something better but I can understand it for cost saving reasons in this financial climate. Overall they made special food and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to others and this place is an asset to Horsforth.

This place was a lovely little spot for Sunday lunch. Simple menu, but delivered well. We had the the vegetarian nut roast and it delivered on taste as did the rest of the veg that came with it. The gravy was spot on. We order cauliflower cheese with crispy onion and truffle as the special side. Which topped of a great traditional Sunday roast. Dessert was just as nice. To make things better. 3 courses for £30 is just bang for buck in this climate. The atmosphere was relaxed and laid back with staff being attentive but not over bearing. Great place. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Enough. Just great.

This was our first visit and after checking out recent reviews our expectations were quite high. Firstly the decor is spot on , comfortable with enough space between tables. The open kitchen is also a nice touch 👌 The wait staff were nice and friendly in particular the young lady who looked after us very well and went the extra mile later on when taxis didn't arrive to pick us up from the car park on the bottom road ( we were exchanging cards and presents ,) she came out to check we had been picked up and as we hadn't we were invited back in and taxis chased up ... excellent customer service and a credit to the restaurant. Now to the food , it is tapas style which suits us BUT I've got to say that some of the dishes portion sizes were n some cases miniscule which was a disappointment... we ended up ordering a total of 15 dishes as there simply was not enough on our original order of 12 ( we're not huge eaters but trust me portions are small) anyhow what we had was delicious and cooked to perfection, also presented very well. There is a decent wine list plus Estrella on draft. Overall a good dining experience.

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch, picked this place as it was the only eatery with anyone else in it on the high street. Nicely done inside although a little squashed at the tables. Polite and friendly staff, nice lunch although very very oily to the point the sourdough bread was mush and not enjoyable. Lovely coffee, the cava was on point and all served in nice cups, glasses etc. Could easily be 5 stars and definitely one to try :) if we ever end up in horsforth again will go back and hopefully update this to a 5.

Wine was delicious - and a good selection - but thought the cocktails weren’t very imaginative. Service was brilliant - the lady with the tattoos made the experience all the better.

Fabulous night - we had seven of the small plates and every single one was delicious. Couldn’t fault a thing. Service was outstanding, wine was great and reasonably priced - really glad we came. Just working out when we can come back again!

Ate here for the first time last night. One of the best meals out we have had in a long time. Everything was so tasty and cooked to perfection! The hasselback potatoes with blue cheese and the fillet steak were just superb and the lemon posset for dessert was stunning. Lovely friendly greeting and great service. The place had a nice buzz about it too! Will definitely return!

Fantastic place, excellent menu, brunch was delicious and it’s great to go to a cafe where they know how to make a proper coffee. Love this place!

Having recommended this restaurant to our friends for my birthday evening meal, we had a disappointing experience . The waiter was quite abrupt and unfriendly . Our meals were generally ok but the tempura prawns were a big letdown.
