The best restaurants serving British food in Farnham Royal South Bucks South East

A bit underwhelmed by the outward appearance/location of The Foresters and by the big TV in the bar but that's where any misgivings ended. The welcome from Dave was great - despite the fact that we'd actually arrived an hour early! Going through to the restaurant we were impressed by the decor. Clearly a lot of thought had gone into the layout and the noise from the bar was not a problem and the TV was out of sight! And then the food! (We don't do starters or desserts). Our young, female server was superb and very patient as we were taking an age to make up our mind. We did have an excellent Malbec to sup as we were deliberating though! My partner eventually settled on a rib-eye steak (the rabbit wellington came a close second) which would not usually have been her first choice in the steak department but she declared it to have been cooked to perfection, tasted wonderful and was nicely presented. The side of spring vegetables was just peas and green beans cooked in butter - not the usual go-to of steamed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Also excellent. I had chosen sea bass and scallops cooked with summer peas and in a Chablis reduction. Again, beautifully presented, cooked superbly and full of superb flavours. We shared a pot of triple-cooked chips which were hot (as was all the other food and the plates, by the way) but maybe just a little too salty. A very minor criticism, though. Overall; superb and we would recommend The Foresters to anyone. The staff were very good with none of the 'is everything ok guys' that we often get elsewhere. Price-wise? Towards the top end but even so, the quality of everything from the decor, service and food made it excellent value for money. The Foresters is a 70-mile round trip from where we live but if we're ever in or around Farnham Common again, guess where we'll be eating!

Visited today and made to feel very welcome by Kasia who went off site to get coffee for us. Very accommodating and knowledgeable of the local area . Only wish I wasn’t driving so could have tried a guest ale or two! Heartfelt customer service and cookie the pooch was the icing on the cake . Thank you

Great food and good staff and good price 👍
