We sailed into Yarmouth with 36 very hungry (and thirsty) sea dogs, and piled into Forresters merely looking for sustenance. In fact we got fabulous food, a good wine selection and above all the most patient and good-humoured staff. Highly recommended. Good work Amanda!, we'll be back! More

We picked this restaurant blind from Trip Advisor and it didn't disappoint in any way. Lovely room, great food and wonderful service. We were made to feel at home and enjoyed a superb lunch. Amanda is a great host. Best meal I have ever had on the IOW. Try Forresters Bistro its worth it - amazing value for money. A... More

I organised a dinner at Forresters for nearly 40 people all taking part in a regatta on the Solent. The restaurant is in an old Methodist chapel with lovely polished floors and a high arched ceiling.

Had a wonderful evening here. Food is excellent quality. It's the attention to detail that makes the difference. Perfectly cooked and seasoned veg accompanied a very tasty steak. The service was top notch. Atmosphere would suit any occasion from a romantic meal to a celebration. Very good wine list too. Highly recommended More

The staff and service where friendly and efficient, from a warm welcome throughout the service. Food was excellent, could not fault it. Will definitely return next time we moor up in Yarmouth. More

I had scallops to start and the bream for main. Both were fresh and delicately cooked with delicious sauces. All in all good value for money, nice atmosphere and good service. I... More

From the moment we walked in off the street Amanda treated us as though regulars. Her personality is warm and welcoming plus Amanda has the ability to make you feel at home immediately.

Amanda emailed a special set menu that we... More
