The Forest Cafe & Visitor Centre Ltd in Wyre Forest

Brilliant service with fine tasting food options.

Great service and food arrived promptly.

Great service from the staff is really good perfect after a long walk

We visited today with a group of beaver scouts. The member of staff who served us was so incredibly kind to the children as he served us. Such a lovely, warm environment. Look forward to visiting again!

Fantastic cafe! Service brilliant, staff were lovely and helpful, especially after we spilt hot chocolate on the toastie! 🤣👍🏻

Excellent service and Jess was super helpful. 👍

Jess was really helpful and bubbly. Great service ☺️

Great cafe, good coffee, nice playground and walks

Lovely place children had a great time

I was on a long walk and stopped in for tea and a bacon bap. Not too bad at just over £7 but I was very shocked this afternoon when I stopped at the end (15miles) all I wanted was a cold can of pop and between being tired and lots of orders being shouted out of the window I just tapped to pay ..realised when I got home I had been charged £2.15 for a can of coke!!

Very pleasant cafe at the wyre forest visitor centre. Very good indoor and outdoor seating. Good variety of cakes. Very decent Coffee. Very welcoming staff. Good music playing in a nice relaxing environment after a good bike ride round the forest.

Nice place to sit and enjoy the view

Very pleasant cafe with plenty of space though most people sat outside at the benches. I like their blend of coffee and the cakes.

Had a great time at Wyre Forest. We went for a drink and cake without really looking at the prices. £10 for a milkshake and a small brownie for my lad is just way too much. I know these places need to make a profit, but next time I will be bringing a flask and my own cake. Shame, as it's nice to support these places, but not at these prices.

Lovely cafe, love that I can take my dog and sit at any table. I’ve had breakfast always like been tasty brought to your table inside the cafe. Happy smiley staff, a lovely place to go for a walk then treat yourself to a meal, drink and cake. Here regularly for park run Served by Sarah

Lovely cafe nice part of the park and friendly service

Great place to relax with a drink and one of their choc brownies with the dog after a walk in the forest.Friendly staff and a nicely updated cafe. Recommended.

Nice Food but pricey. I use to regularly pop in for a ice cream but £3.75 for a single cone seems a bit much to me. Maybe they should do a second price list for locals like they do in Cornwall

I am a member and regular visitor to the Wyre Forest and cafe. The cafe has clearly changed hands and is now not worth the visit. Food choice has been reduced and 'odd' items added e.g. dippy eggs! The portions are smaller and the quality of the food is poor. Watery soup with processed bread for £5.50! We looked forward to a walk and lunch afterwards with friends in the cafe. We have now been twice since the change of ownership and will not be going again. Very disappointing!

Ordered the 'Ultimate ham and cheese toastie'. Which was quite possibly the saddest excuse for a toastie I've ever seen. Tasted like someone had shoved some ham and a bit of bag mozerella in between two tiny slices of stale week old bread. To call it 'Ultimate' is a straight up lie and false advertising. The accompanying coleslaw was grey. It was comically bad.

Lovely Cafè, reasonable prices. The chicken burger we ordered was great! Nice selection of refreshments a good toilet facilities.

Good facilities and reasonably priced refreshments. Great dog wash facility!

Nice coffee and kids enjoyed an ice cream

Excellent place to stop after having a walk or a bike ride food very good and not too expensive

Nice cafe to grab a coffee to walk with, quick service & reasonable prices

Fantastic walks we hired the Tramper for my husband because he can't walk very far. Excellent service. Met by a lovely lady very helpful highly recommend hiring it if you have problems walking. Excellent few hours spent walking and taking pictures.

Good selection of food and drinks friendly and helpful staff

Brilliant cafe, great choice and good prices in a beautiful surroundings

First time visit very lovely open forest area! Park for little people plenty of greenery for dogs to have fun. Only let down was the cafe I ordered two breakfast toasties and items were missing so I went to get this corrected was told will get fresh new ones but instead they gave back the original ones with one egg when it was supposed to be two. Obviously you pay for what u want and what’s on the menu but not wanting to look like a moaning customer I just left it at that. Bacon wasn’t really edible and the toast was burnt and hard. Kids had American pancakes nothing special but for the price of £4.95 you would expect the American style pancakes not Kipling ones. Coffee was average. Menu prices seemed ok but on receiving the food not worth it. A lot of people had their own packed lunches. Lesson learnt for next time. Parking starts from £4 depending on car size. Card only for the parking.

Visited today; not the first time I've used this cafe but haven't visited for a few years now. Service was great - my cup of tea was replaced with no squabble as it was a little too Milky for my taste. The ladies working had a sense of humour which is always nice - nothing worse than someone who can't crack a smile. Food was delicious - the brie, bacon and cranberry soft baguettes and the cakes. Was able to get a table - I do like the fact that they allow dogs in the cafe and that there's also tables which are dog free. Also managed to grab an ice cream at last minute so that was a bonus! Will return on our next visit to the forest 😊

The farmers breakfast was the best I've ever had and when you throw in a relaxed ambience and smart and polite staff, you have the recipe for repeat business. The three of us enjoyed it so much with the dogs lying on the floor, not getting in the way.

Great food and 1st class service...cannot pick a fault, will definitely be going back.

Nice cafe and pleasant staff. Ideal for a nature trail and suitable for most ages.

Good little cafe, nice for a rest after walking from the other side of the forest. Nice coffee and selection of cakes. Enjoyed the superworm trail with my family.

Nice fresh food. Price reflect quality and good vegan/vegetarian options. Service was a little bit too slow which is the reason for 4 stars.

Parked for 2-4 hours, went for walk on "buzzard trail" and then had sandwich and drink. Bread slices a bit thick for my taste but good.

Cafe is OK, but if you have a dog you’re crammed in sharing one of two very-much-in-demand tables that allow dogs… whilst most of the rest of the inside tables are empty. And that’s if you’re lucky - quite a few potential customers with dogs were turning up and having to leave, as the two dog tables were constantly full.

This cafe was chosen for Christmas present exchange and get together with daughter, son in law and new grandson on 30th December. We travelled 60 miles and though there were holdups on the journey we expected over an hour and a half together, eating, drinking and chatting. After just under half an hour we were asked to leave as the staff wanted to prepare for New Year. This was not on the Website. We went outside, but the baby did not like being woken up by the cold, and after a short attempt at a walk we gave up and said our goodbyes. The parking, at £4, was very expensive, but the toilets were very clean and well equipped. All in all, disappointing and would not be considered for any future get togethers.

Doesn't deserve 1*, all in all disgusting. Only good part are the walks. Car park far too expensive.

Had a great time here. Cafe is very good.

What a gem of a place good food great staff give it a whirl x

Shockingly disappointing. Visited early this morning, my Granddaughter chose a cup cake (fairy cake actually & charged cup cakes prices) so ordered one for myself too. So dry & stale they were inedible. How can a coffee shop get this so wrong.

The cafe is not dog friendly. Says it is but with only two tables allocated for dog owners and their dogs this is a misrepresentation especially when the other 15 us tables weren't all being used.

Brilliant place for a rest and a coffee during a long walk. They also sell cakes, sandwiches, ice cream and other snacks. There are public toilets.

Lovely place to visit, good choice on the menu.

Fair prices but limited menu with no chips for children. The cafe is also where you get Trail Packs from for Superworm which has replaced the Gruffalo trail.

Extortionate parking prices, the cafe is equally overpriced if the food options are actually available. My advice would be check with staff before you que to avoid disappointment or wasting your parking time. I only gave this location a second star for the forest itself, it was clean, well signposted and had a number of great photo spots if that's your thing. My advice for anyone with dogs would be to head to the Chef and Brewer just 2 miles down the road, dog friendly, plenty of choice on the Menu and with a proper traditional pub feel

Good choice of food & drinks at a reasonable price. Great to grab a coffee & bacon roll before heading off for a lovely walk with the dogs 🐕

Walks round the forest very good. Drinks were a bit over the top. The parking charges, extortionate.

Didn't go to the cafe but enjoyed a good walk in the forest.

Lovely cafe, shame there's no benches outside whilst inside is closed!

Great range of tasty cakes. Friendly staff. Slightly on the expensive side for the portion size.

The manager of the coffee shop was really rude and had terrible attitude when they over charged me and had to issue a refund. She made me feel like a nuisance and like I was being pathetic. Ruined my experience and for the poor customer service from the manager, not the staff who served me, I will not be going back.

After frantic walking arround forest a welcome snack and coffee, NICE!

Not a very good visit for our first visit. Blue badge disabled visitors have to pay for parking. But they dont tell you this until you've parked. So I struggle to walk the 40 or 50 yards to the machine, and the minimum charge is £3, which I only have £2. The card section isnt working and its 150yards to the shop with a working machine, then another 100yds back to put the ticket in, then 100yards back to the cafe. I was in agony after just legally parking the car. So we took our granddaughter into the cafe for a bit of lunch. My wife got our lunch. Our granddaughters sandwich was hard stale bread. When questioned, the male assistant told her to "put it back on the shelf", which my wife refused, as it was unfit for consumption. My wife also ordered 2 lattes which the assistant gave away to someone else, so she had to stand and wait for another 2 to be made. We certainly were not impressed with the service, or facilities at The Wyre Forest, and its cafe. After that, I can be fairly certain we wont use their facilities again. If you are disabled, like myself, and in a wheelchair, think twice about your visit (or take a very able bodied person to help you get around. And while on the subject of getting around. Why put speed bumps on a path that disabled/wheelchair users need to use to get any of the sites facilities ? I didnt notice this, and very nearly ended up going face first out of my chair as I hit the bump and stopped instantly. That I didnt was thanks to a nice gentleman who grabbed me as I shot forward after the sudden unexpected stoppie. So, all in all, not a very good visit at all.

Bring a picnic food & drink is rather expensive

Nothing fancy here really just decent food and not too expensive would use again.

Great place to dry off and refuel after Go Ape or bike riding etc

The centre staff were all very friendly and helpfull. The tea and scons were 10 out of 10. And we are planning another visit soon with our daughter and family. We had a great, exciting day.

Lovely setting, brilliant for walks with the kids & dog, but the cafe is strangely limited. Great if you want a bottle of full fat coke and a pie & gravy, bad if you want a cold diet drink and a sandwich. The only no sugar drink is diet coke and the pie menu is twice the size of the sandwich list! Good coffee variety and some nice cakes, but for an outdoor activity place it was strangely lacking in healthy options.

Found the staff and center quite good and helpful.

Lovely cafe with great service and good selection of ice creams after a nice walk around the forest

Went in with my granddaughter. Was nice but £1,10 for a bag of Quavers is way over the top.

Great little café. And dog friendly of course.

Our first time at Wyre Forest we took the dogs on a 3.5hr walk and loved it. We'll be back again soon.

Good place for a walk. The toilets are shocking though

Great place , lots of walks , play area , and cafe

Very pricey for half a ham sandwich. Make your own.

Fast service. Good food selection.

Nice cosy stop for some food and drinks or just a snack

Great day out for families, individuals and dog walkers. Lots of different walks and a play area for children. Cafe serves nice food and drink. Parking charges are a bit expensive.

Good food from a limited menu. Simple but effective furnishings and decor.

Lovely vegetarian and vegan pies here. Nice coffee too.

Always a good cup of coffee and nice surroundings.

Friendly staff and a good selection of drinks and cakes available. Gets busy in the summer and on the weekends but worth a visit as children can play on the park while adults take a break in the warm. The parking isn't free so take some change along with you.

Food took a long time and not great quality considering the high cost. Nearly an hour to get a panini and a jacket potato, really disappointed as it's really not gourmet food. Poor end to a great day.

Can get very busy, especially around school holidays. The business is ok, but not run to it's full potential.

Great place for children to run about and let off some steam. Was very busy but lots to do to keep your child happy. Facilities was nice and clean. And the cafe staff was nice and friendly.

Over priced, very poor service, poorly managed - felt sorry for the staff. Worst part of our visit to Wyre forest.

Great place for a long walk and then a cup of tea. Also got some zip wires but not open on December 31st

Food not great, coffee luke warm. Had better.

Nice relax after a long walk. Food expensive for what you get in quantity and quality.

Lovely little place for a walk or cuppa and a chat, very friendly

Lovely food lots of activities berry convenient

This relates to the parking and safety for disabled visitors. Wyre Forest please look into this * Disabled driver (on her own) ...the pay machine? Over 200 metres away!! Rough ground to and in vicinity of the machines was trecherous. Steep slippy path down to cafe*

It's not awgul but it's always packed so it's a headache before you've even managed to get a table. Good is on the pricey side (as to be expected with these kind of venues) but the service was poor too. So, as it's the only place to get something to eat in the forest beggars can't be choosers. But waiting 45 minutes for a kids cheese sandwich when I could see the vat of grated cheese and sliced bread on the counter when I ordered means it took 46 minutes for one of about 7 members of staff to put a handful of cheese between two pieces of bread which is pretty poor by my standards.

Quick friendly service with decent food

The forest is beautiful and the cafe is lovely even has a dog wash facility but park I g is costly which is ashame

Unfortunately the milk had gone off so the four drinks needed replacing. The cafe did replace them but it took over 20 minutes to arrive. Staff were reminded twice about the drinks, and we were told that they were on their own so we would have to wait. No particularly good customer service. Most disappointed

Pleasant. Loads of car park but expensive. Cafe is a little pricey but that's what you expect in this sort of place.

Cafe and food not bad, and useful loo facilities - not much about the actual forest as a visitors centre, though

Worst coffee ive ever had in my life. Cappuccino was 2 million degrees centigrade and she put the chocolate sprinkles on the shot then milk on top... obviously never been shown how to make a coffee because that is not a cappuccino and still charging barista prices

I ordered two cappuccinos and handed over my re-usable cups, then watched in dismay as the server used and threw away two paper cups to make the coffee before transferring it into my cups and adding the milk. When I asked what the point of that was he said “yours don’t fit under the machine”. True, but the tiny volume of coffee involved would normally be made in a washable cup. I could see they are a,so still using plastic straws. I would have expected a more environmentally friendly attitude in a forest visitor centre. The outside seating area was poor, bins filled to overflowing, with excess rubbish piled on top and litter and food left on tables. No sign of anyone coming out to clear up in the time we were there.

Coffee was terrible but the cake are good.

Lovely place, great for chilling out.

Ordered 2 jacket potatoes one with beans one plain, 10 minutes later came out with 2 with cheese. They were sent back and the right order followed 5 minutes later. The plain jacket was already cut open and it was obvious to see that it wasn't baked that day. The potato was brown and the skin soggy! Totally inedible, to charge £3.95 for a 1-2 day old jacket potato is disgusting, obviously it was promptly returned for a refund, I would not recommend eating there and I for one will not be returning . Gross!

On last day of old £1 legal tender staff were giving their old coins as change and refused to give my change in the new coins, manager was called to speak to me and she was extremely rude. I pointed out that she would have to go to the bank in any case but her response was "so?" - so I promptly cancelled my order. Many other customers were also complaining about such poor customer service!

Nice walks, nice cafe, play area for the kids, plenty to do to while away a few hours in the fresh air
