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 a memorable Mother's Day Experience. From the bespoke welcome drink with mini rose petals ( and a lovely non alcoholic option), to the special Mother's Day menu options and little brandy truffles to take home....

    Forester @ The Hawthorn Boutique Hotel responded on Thu 16 May 24:
    Thank you very much for your lovely review. The barman will be delighted to hear that you enjoyed his Mother's Day creations. We are thinking of keeping those on the menu! We know that mothers love little tokens of appreciation so we hope that the brandied truffles went down a treat.
