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.

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.

Went for the fireworks , can't complain as the burger was free, it does seem expensive though when you pay over £4 for a bowl of chips, it's off the beaten track so I would say primary audience are those that stay in the accommodation.
A great choice of gluten free options and a good children’s menu. Friendly staff, very tasty food and reasonably priced. We enjoyed our family meals here during our holiday.

Great menu, and quality of food. The staff are really friendly and welcoming.Nice relaxing atmosphere, the waiting time between courses is spot on, and the staff are excellent at spotting when the customer needs them, without "hovering around".My wife and myself really enjoyed eating here during our stay in Darwin Forest, and the restaurant/bar really fits in well with the quality of the site, and relaxed feel.Highly recommended ?
