Sutton Forest Inn reviews

4 Star Review by Joel Dignam

Nice range of food options, a bit of interesting variety. Not exactly great value but maybe that's life.

4 Star Review by Cold eskimo

Always busy so be sure to pick your timing! Great place to catch up with friends for a drink or have a meal in the restaurant area at the back. If the weather is nice you can always enjoy the outdoor seating looking over the fields. Service is quite quick. Staff friendly and helpful.

4 Star Review by Mary Drake

I've never stayed here but I've eaten here on a number of occasions. Food is great and reasonably priced, especially for the Highlands. Nice house wine. Staff are really great. Lovely ambience inside and out. This is a very old building and they've done a great job of modernizing it without destroying the old narrow bars and small salon. There's a very large dining room out the back. Fires and gas heaters throughout. Lots of room for children to run outside. Parking areas are pressed earth and gravel, so have been badly affected by recent rains, floods, etc but no doubt that will be sorted. Not too sure about access for people with mobility issues, I'd suggest you ring ahead. Today I had cauliflower tacos and they were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended

3 Star Review by Tim McDonald

This is a rural pub with a cosy atmosphere. It's great for gatherings of friends and family and this is demonstrated by the sizable patronage on weekends when we visited.There is good service from the busy staff. The food is standard pub menu. Well prepared and quickly presented.

Great food.

3 Star Review by emma mcgill

Food was pleasant, but on the pricey side for a pub meal, especially starters. Our order was lost, when I brought it to their attention I was told it was an internet issue, but another member of our group had been told the order was already paid for when they tried to add to our number....so not sure what really happened but it ended in a very very long wait with hangry kids, so not fun. (We ordered first in our group 15minutes after last meal arrived I went in, no apologies, just an awkward experience and excuses). The beef burger was very tasty the kids nuggets looked dry and they didn't eat many, but ok, they loved their orange slice and icecream. Hope to return one day with a better experience.
