Friendly welcome on our second visit to our new favourite bistro. Charming and knowledgeable explanation of the new dishes to us on the menu which felt a personal touch. Attentive and chatty service throughout the meal. Our varied choice of starters were all very good. Some big flavours accompanying the mains, especially the delicious duck. Portion sizes perfect for our healthy appetites. Overall another great experience for a small family celebration. Many thanks, hope to see you again soon.

We had an exceptional meal and experience at Forde. My friends came up from Liverpool for my Birthday and I wanted to treat them so a lovely meal and Forde always feels like such a treat. The food was excellent! Especially the steak and the salmon, but to be honest, it was all delicious. The service was outstanding - friendly, helpful and efficient staff. I brought my dog with me and they couldn't have been more welcoming with her. lovely venue and atmosphere and just overall and wonderful experience :)

Despite there being a big party upstairs service was good. We had a young boy with us and the staff made him feel special making sure he was spoken to with regard to his orders, they went above and beyond for him. The food was excellent as usual with generous portions. my next visit is already booked.
