Foresters bar & restaurant

Extended family lunch

Had a take out and dined in during a recent stay in the park. The take away pizza was fairly poor, no one finished theirs, too much tomato sauce and oily. Dine in was adequate. On arrival immediately informed us 40min wait for food. Good they let us know, but don't understand how they're not prepared. The occupancy of the park is well known, so they should be able to cater for the demand. Food was ok, nothing special, and didn't chance a dessert. Would only recommend if you're stuck for a meal, otherwise they're plenty of great alternatives in Matlock and Chesterfield. Would come to the park again, just would skip the restaurant.

A bit pricey

We were staying on-site and went on the first night. Food was excellent. So good we decided to visit again two days later and the food was equally as good. From my experience, on-site food in places like this can be very hit-and-miss, but Foresters was very different. Special mention to Tom as well who went above and beyond with his customer service. Would happily recommend to anyone staying at Darwin.

Food excellent at a good price. Have already booked a return visit.
