The Forest Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Metropolitan Borough of Solihull

In hindsight, Saturday evening was a bad time to go. The bar was very noisy and staff understandably stretched. This meant the service was lacking and we had to chase up missing sides.

The fillet of beef was delightful and there was nothing wrong with the children's sausage dinner. However, the "famous" chicken wings were really disappointing - covered in far too much sauce and bloody within. I mentioned this and pointed out the blood in every wing I'd bitten into but was promptly dismissed and told that wasn't possible as the wings were precooked. Left more than half on my plate.

I'd have gladly shared this feedback but at no point during or after the meal were we asked how it was. The answer? A mixture of delicious and inedible. Wife definitely won...

My partner bought a coke, we did notice that the gas had gone and not much coke was in it, but we didn't complain, my partner was halfway through his drink and the bar tender came outside to us and gave us a brand new fresh coke without us saying anything. He explained he noticed the coke had gone and thought we deserved a fresh glass. We thought it was so kind and thoughtful and had it at no extra charge. Excellent service, and we didn't even complain, attention to detail and taking care of us as customers...

We regularly go to the bar/ restaurant here for their amazing chicken wings and other excellent parts to their menu. Victor and Harvey in particular deserve recognition for their excellence in hospitality. They greet everyone with a warm and welcoming approach every time and maintain close attention to service throughout your visit. Victor in particular has impressed too with his ability to make guests with all types of disability feel valued...
