Embark on a culinary journey and enjoy a delectable meal at the Forester Restaurant. From the hard wood floors to soft jazz music playing in the background, the Forester resembles a prestigious old English restaurant with impeccable style and class. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menu is populated with a range of delicacies and hearty dishes, from Krummelpap to Lamb Rump. If one is merely looking for a casual encounter and remarkable view, you are more than welcome to order and enjoy the luxury of our gardens.

We kindly request that you do not bring your own wine, as we do not offer corkage services.

    What an unbelievable experience. I will certainly be back. Your barman - i forgot his name- Kerwan- or similar - as well as the waitress in the restaurant were just oustanding. They were so nice to us and friendly. Real asset to you -already- wonderful Establishment.

    I don't think you should mix a bearnaise sauce with a bordelaise one. A steak bearnaise is always with a lot of bearnaise sauce, because it is too good. You could add a bit more tarragon in it for the taste.

    Forester @ The Hawthorn Boutique Hotel responded on Thu 02 May 24:
    Thank you very much for your feedback. I will pass the information on to the chef and I agree that a Bearnaise is all about the tarragon inside. Chef will ensure he works on the taste of the sauce. The 2 sauces are indeed very strong together and a good suggestion to separate hthem.
