We're so glad we stopped here for food! The staff were friendly and courteous and the food was great - good portion sizes and very reasonably priced! We were just here for lunch but it seems like a nice wee pub for an evening meal or drinks too.

Booked on-line with an added note that we wanted the Festive Menu. They called to explain that the Festive Menu had finished at the end of December but that the Chef had said that we could have everything except substituting chicken for the turkey. Fine by us. The dining room was a little bit on the cold side. We didn't say anything ... typical British .... so that was down to us. Both the food and service were excellent and the cost very reasonable. Well be back.

We booked via website on arrival told dining room was cold bar was warmer then given very basic bar menus informed Xmas lunch was only via pre order but website did not state this. Bar staff were very pleasant and accommodating We booked another venue and left very disappointed 😞

I visit forres from time to time, but only discovered this pub/restaurant recently and we will certainly be returning. We both had the burger with skinny chips and onion rings and it was excellent. The establishment is clean and friendly and the service Was excellent. Am going back again, two days later to try the fried gnocchi with feta!

We took a group of 10 German visitors plus friends for the £10 lunch deal. We had given our menu choices in advance, but with such a wide range of choices it took a while to work out who had ordered what. However, it got sorted, the sandwiches were excellent and everyone was very satisfied with their choice. The staff was attentive and, since we were given the dining area all to ourselves, the atmosphere was quite intimate.

I went with some friends for the first time for a meal and had a table booked which was in the bar. The food was lovely, but the place was FREEZING, you could see the steam coming off the food… some people were sat in their coats eating their meal. One couple said to themselves out loud they wouldn’t go back as it’s too cold to appreciate their food. The fire was burning away but no heat was felt from it… you need to get one those fire fans to help with circulating heat around the room… it was never that cold when it was the ‘red lion’…

Will definitely be back. Great service and atmosphere too. Also great portion sizes but the chocolate fudge cake could always be bigger ;)

La gran noticia de que la Red Beastie ha revisado es propia del gris pasado con una renovación decente.El bar del salón ahora es acogedora y algo hasta la fecha. El marque Cask (cerveza (aunque siempre bien cuidado) es excelente y bien producen, y aunque yo no comer el menú parecía tentadora. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Este tipo de Forres pub es justo lo que necesita. Espero con ansia ver a este pub en la guía de la cerveza CAMRA esperábamos impacientes pronto.

familia de hacia el sur, intentamos reservar en el Mosset pero estaba lleno, así que decidimos hacer una recomendación de otro amigo de la familia y encantados de haberlo hecho. Optamos por el menú navideño de almuerzo que era de calidad superior ... salmón ahumado, sopa y opciones patés eran excelentes. Entre nosotros teníamos la cena y Turquía bistec tarta platos nuevo excelente, caliente y casero. El miembro del personal que era preciosa y disculparse que estaban cortos de personal no habría molestado, todo fue bien y sin falla así que me quito el sombrero ante ellos. hacia el final de la comida local folk music comenzó, y el lugar tenía un gran ambiente ... mi única queja ... esperar tanto tiempo para visitar aquí!

Sólo tenía carne asada y budín de Yorkshire. bajó lugares en cualquier lugar más sin reserva o llenan con folk. una preciosa chimenea y una verdadera pinta.La carne estaba muy bien preparado, número de Yorkies demasiado. Patacas Chirivías, zanahorias, tatties asado de cebolla roja y un asado servido con una rica salsa encantadora. El único problema fue la comida que se sirve en una bandeja madera.

Just been for a Christmas lunch at the Beastie, just the most beautiful christmas lunch I have ever had, everything was just perfect, food is always good here, but they surpassed themselves today :) Booked again for two weeks time! Great price too.

Good food, but somewhat disorganised. Staff need training in service. Little bit pricey for what is basically pub grub.

este lugar fue una vez una leyenda pero la RAF se retiraron y la base al cliente no es allí, pero es un lugar agradable en Forres, justo por el excelente museo Falconer, justo al lado de la High Street. siempre tenemos una tostada (que viene con una ensalada maravillosa) y una cerveza y no se puede quejar por precio, calidad y el buen servicio del personal local encantador. Es realmente bueno.

Lounge bar nice for a few quiet drinks. Staff always friendly. The bar has cool photos up but its quiet old fashioned

Recientemente visité el Red Lion para algunos refrescos con mi audiencia perros para sordos y nos encontramos con una sonrisa muy amigable del personal del bar, especialmente Brenda. eran muy complacientes respecto a mi audiencia perro y le dieron un recipiente de agua y un regalo o dos. Tenía unos juegos de piscina. Sin duda recomiendo una visita o dos a este encantador establecimiento. Sue y Gerry

overpriced in every way with staff more interested in playing dominoes than serving and with the most disgusting toilets that i have ever seen in the civilised world

Food is great, service is very quick, staff very helpful & friendly. Customers are suppose to order at bar but because I was with other disabled people they came to my table for my order. As it was a Friday I got the winter special. Food is usually sandwichs, toasties, jacket tatties, soup, panninis, tortilla wraps etc. would recommend a visit next time in town.

Very tired and old small time pub. It's nearly always completely empty. Only good if you're looking to get away from the crowds.

The rooms were old and run-down. In the first room, we as a couple had an extremely small bed where we could barely lie together, and a moldy shower. The mattress was worn out and you could feel every spring, and the shower was moldy. At least we were able to move to another room, which was better. The bed was large and the shower clean. But overall, it was quite old. But it was okay. The staff was friendly and the bar was nice. The food in the evening was okay, but nothing special. Large whiskey selection. Breakfast was typically Scottish. Limited selection, but still okay.

Saturday 2nd of November, they decided to shut the restaurant, no head up or anything. Just no meals, only refreshments. Fast forward two weeks. After a 4 hour drive on the Friday, I arrived at 7.05pm. Reception said restaurant were serving until 8.30 and I was OK just to pop over and get a table. So I done that. No tables for the rest of the night. Only the tables near the bar were being used. Rest of the place was empty. Saturday seemed to go without a hitch. Sunday morning, apparently the chef pulled a sickie so there was no hot food other than what you could put through the toaster! The big lad that's in the restaurant is brand new as are some of the other FOH staff but this place need to sort the BOH staff out pronto. Also just a little tip for the servers, from someone who was in hospitality for 18 years, when someone walks in the door and stands waiting to be attended to, give them an acknowledgement. Don't just leave them standing like a spare tw4t.
