Very disappointed in the lunch at this little pub. Sandwich made from thick toasty slices of bread, service very poor, and the cask beer cloudy, all rounds poor. Don't be mislead, as we were, with the car park being full. Its the car park for the village and workers in the village not the pub. We made the mistake of thinking busy car park, popular, so presumably good.

This used to be an excellent pub with a wide ranging menu, great service and wonderful food. It has now changed hands and the impression that you gain is that the new owners are simply wanting to run the pub down so that they can close it and build houses on the site. The menu was very restricted and we were told that, even then, a number of the dishes were not available. Although there was very little business being done when we called in for lunch the service was poor with only one lady trying to run the bar as well as serve those customers that she had. The food was mediocre to say the least. Avoid this pub. Alas I imagine Kilburn might find themselves soon devoid of a village pub. What a shame!!!

Visited Sat 29 Nov. My wife and I have visited Forresters Arms most Saturday afternoon for many years enjoying a glass of wines following our walks in the White Horse area. Always a warm welcome and a good selection of wines. On this visit I was ignored at the bar whilst the bar person kept vanishing, I had to ask for service to get some attention. I asked for a wine list 'We don't have one' was the reply. I asked how am I to know the alcohol content of wines, price etc? Response was 'That is a problem'. I bought a glass of wine for my wife which was fine and a pint of bitter for myself which was awful. Bar person made two attempts to fill the glass which was filling with froth more quickly than the beer was being drawn. Taste was poor, not fresh, no sparkle. I left most of the pint and on leaving noticed a sediment in the bottom of the glass. No warmth or welcome feeling in this pub, so no more for us.

A lovely countryside hotel in an beautifiable village location for a one night stay after a day in York. Nice spacious room with a comfortable bed. The dinner choice was good with cheerful and attentive staff looking after use at dinner and at breakfast

A great pub for a pint. Food was nice but had it's faults. Steak pie was jn the website menu but was disappointingly not available on the night. The chicken pie was light on chicken, heavy on mushrooms. Sticky toffee pudding was very nice, but was smaller than any i've seen anywhere before. White wine spritzer was the most I've ever paid locally, £9.50! Other local pubs are around £7.50. Beware also that a 10% service charge is added. I would have left a tip but certainly not £14, that was taken from me. Sadly eating out is getting very expensive and very much a treat these days. Always disappointing when you don't feel like you have had value for money.

Stopped here for lunch after a test glider flight at the nearby Flying Club. When we arrived the restaurant was fairly quiet but it then rapidly began to fill up with other diners. There were only two ladies behind the bar, sorting out drinks, taking orders and serving food and to say that they were rushed off their feet is almost an understatement. What was very impressive to watch was how well they worked together and coordinated to get everyone served as quickly as possible. So good were they that one of them even noticed my glass was empty and asked me if I wanted a refill. When the food came it was delicious. I had the pie which was lamb with mint. Obviously freshly made, wonderful flavour. As a connoisseur of Caesar salads my wife declared hers to be one of the best she had tasted. So great food and wonderful service.
