The new spring menu each month will celebrate a particular seasonal fruit or vegetable.
Breakfast will be served weekdays from 11am and will include Organic muesli; Seven-grain French toast and Coconut yogurt and granola.
Lunch and dinner will be served seven days a week and guests can choose from a selection of small plates including – Devonshire goat’s cheese served with seasonal vegetables and cobnuts and Seared beef, salt cured egg and Keen’s Cheddar crisp. An array of main dishes include Slow cooked wild boar and buckwheat pasta; Charred Welsh lamb ribs served with garden herb sauce and Cod “a la plancha†with shaved asparagus, peas and lovage.
Head Pastry Chef Siobhan Ambrose will continue to create her range of desserts for Forest. Her delightful masterpieces include the ever-popular Chocolate Forest; British strawberry & mint cheesecake and Honey & raspberry sabayon.
The Terrace has a separate entrance and a wooden bar decorated with spring blooms will serve a bespoke sharing cocktail list, magnums of wine and champagne. The themed potting sheds will be available for hire, and are perfect to escape from spring showers.
