Nice food with an appealing menu, nice staff too! The recent refit has brought the place up to scratch, and with a new pool table, darts board and plenty of offering behind the bar it is great to start/ finish a night out, or for a family meal.
Generally it is busy… weirdly on a red hot day today they had the radiators on full whack so this paired with all the customers it was a bit sweaty.
The food came within about 20 minutes. Very flavourful just some stuff over-cooked but at least it wasn’t under.
The Chinese style pork belly was really nice, just too much rabbit food on the plate!
Would recommend and definitely will be back!

Food is excellent and the service is fast and friendly, we called in on the way past, great pub to stop at if you're heading to or from Flamborough

Came upon The Friendly Forester by mistake and decided to stop and have some food. Greeted at the door, and asked to sit at any table which was not reserved. Vast menu with lots of choices. Ordered our food and it didn't take too long to arrive. Great portion of food and tasted great. So good in fact that we went for lunch the following day, and for breakfast the following morning. Staff are very friendly, courteous and attentive. Great place and good atmosphere.

We had a happy accident with driving directions and found ourselves right outside the Friendly Forester. We entered and where greeted and seated promptly. The menu had some awesome choices! I had the chicken fajitas, my wife the Caesar salad. My fajitas where so delicious I even ate the lettuce leaf that my condiments arrived on. My wife so enjoyed her salad and classed it as the best Caesar salad she had ever been served. Our wait staff was awesome and very friendly. We stayed to order deserts. I would not have changed a thing.

Glad we booked as the place was pretty busy. Reasonably good choice on the menu at average prices. Staff were friendly and food arrived within an expected time frame. Food was tasty and well cooked though the well done steak was more medium than well done - charred on the outside, some pink on the inside.
Overall, the meal was acceptable and we would visit for a meal again if in the area.

TONIE and TEAM were amazing! Tonie made sure I, my wife and daughter were welcome and managed to accomodate us though they were incredibly busy! Tonie was so brilliant ensuring everyone was looked after, bringing out food, clearing plates, welcoming guests; this person deserves a Sizzler Medal! The food was delicious and perfectly cooked, I had the rare rump steak and it was spot on! Dinner, drinks, desserts and even a special spot for our two little dogs... 10 out of 10... we cannot wait to come back!... Thank you TONIE and TEAM!

First visit here since it's been refitted out.
Very nice inside, with plenty of new outdoor seating. Food was very good along with quick service, even though it was busy on the day we visited.
Kath Vine
Food was fantastic, staff friendly, the only thing that needs improvement is the ordering service. There is a constant queue at the bar, and whilst I appreciate there is a scan ordering service many people are not tech minded. We will be back!

I just went to satisfy my curiosity and was amazed at the size of the place. It was extremely busy because it was school holidays so I just had a pint. It looked superb inside with a modern dining set out. The staff were constantly busy, efficiently carrying out their individual duties. A large outdoor area provides a wonderful alternative experience during good weather and a huge car parking area. I fully intend to revisit during a quieter period to fully experience the dining options

Recently stayed in the area for the weekend and came here in Saturday for lunch with my friend- 2 adults 5 children, we all loved it so much we went back on Sunday for dinner and all ordered the exact same thing. I had the steak and prawns and I'm quite fussy with having low quality food but I must say this was delicious for pub food. My friend has the mixed grill and enjoyed that too! All meals less than £60 including drinks/wine/deserts 😉 The staff were super friendly and helpful, all with a smile. Lots of parking and outdoor beer garden if you have the weather. Very clean place! Sorry we weren't able to leave a tip as we had card only. Highly recommend if your staying in the area. I'm going to try my local sizzling pub and hope it's as good as this one. Thanks

This is our 2nd visit to the restaurant and we enjoyed both times.
The pub/restaurant has great food. Tasty, large portions and reasonably priced.
Staff were helpful and friendly. We didn't make a booking but they did their best to get a table for us.
Large car park.
If we're in the area we'll go back again.

Came for dinner and the food was really nice! Was served hot and didn't wait any longer then 20 minutes. The staff are really friendly and attentive and the drinks are affordable. Great place.
Claire Hobson
Gorgeous breakfast as we set off on our journey home from camping. Friendly, efficient staff and lovely food.
Very clean venue and we will probably come back again when we're next in Brid.

The Friendly Forester lives up to its name with kind staff in a framily-friendly environment, and at decent prices. My only complaints were with some of the dishes, as the grilled chicken was quite tough and some pieces seemed almost undercooked, and the banoffee cheesecake tasted somewhat off. This seemed to be a one-off though.
Easily the best place I've gone to for a rack of ribs though, would come again!
Sally Bell
I have been visiting Friendly Foresters for round about 12 years every time I come back to Brid which is twice a year and the food has always been mint....went tonight..... oh how things have changed.....we ordered 2 rib eyes, 1 pulled pork sarni and two triple deckers burgers........the rib eyes to be honest were fatty..I mean fatty like you know when you see an operation to remove fat on the telly that fatty shit they cut out yeah, (there is never usually anything left on my plate but there was a pile today.).... that's what it looked like and about half mi steak....the rest of the steak was fine but that fat man uggh!!!!!!!.......the pulled pork sarni was mostly brioche somewhat lacking in pulled pork!!!!! and the chicken in the triple deckers was dry as.......chips were good though........have sizzler pubs changed or summat...just wondering...maybe they ( like other restaurants) should have customer survey notes on the tables...I'm not one for complaining ( the staff are nice) but maybe they need to look to their kitchen for answers ( maybe an off day)....also it wasn't as busy as it usually is....I know it's cold in Brid at mo but it's usually heaving in there.....plus looking at a few other reviews people seem to have the same opinion....I won't be going back next time I'm up here...unless I see a few positive reviews....shame really.......

We come here every Tuesday for the quizz and good cheap food. We enjoyed the speed quiz but it's not as good as paper. We miss the music rounds, the consolation prizes and rock and roll bingo!
Hayley McNeill
This is our local and have been coming for years - was disgusted by it today! Had to wait an hour for food even though it wasn't that busy. The toilets are worse than public loos in the town centre! The whole place is shabby and dirty, and we couldn't find a clean knife and fork! Very disappointing!
Jeanette Tennison
No bad for food, but too many kids early doors :-(
Stuart Simon
Best value around two meals and drinks £9.95p
Food was good
Nickolas Spurr
Food as good as every bar staff clueless and as always toilets stink
Nikki Spurr
