    The food we had was so horrid. The calamari was really greasy, the fish pasta was salty we had to send it back, and the burgers were stodgy and dry. We all felt a bit dodgy after eating there and very thirsty from the huge shards of salt that were all over the food.

    The food and service is of a very good standard, far exceeding our expectations. Great value for money. The Sunday roast in particular was outstanding. A great range of beers on draught, all reasonably priced, and a well curated wine list again well priced. Would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to visit again on our next visit to Darwin Forest.

    Overall 5 star. Limited choice of menu due to my lactose intolerance. More flexibility would have been appreciated.
