Ages since I've been here, but what a transformation following refurbishment. Pleasant little bar with nice staff and what looks like a separate dining area. We didn't dine but it looked very welcoming
Joyce Evetts
Lovely meal. Good service

Well. We can't really complain other that we travelled 3 hours both ways to visit the Red Lyon only to find it shut...even though it says it's open 9am -1.30pm on Fridays. An 81 year old who was so looking forward to having lunch and a couple of pints ....very sad. Then when I tried phoning, the number online is not recognised....shocking.

Last time I visited with my wife, in the afternoon, for coffee, we were advised, by staff that they had run out of coffee and only had instant. We chose to leave after this revelation. Today I had some time to kill and decided to have a drink. I went into the public bar where a young female member of staff was deeply engrossed in her phone and didn't even acknowledge my entry. Thankfully there was a pleasant young man serving who made me feel welcome. I was the only person in the bar. I decided to have a Spiced Rum and ginger ale. He offered a selection of rums and I made my choice. I asked him to ensure that I had ginger ale and not ginger bee. He agreed that there was a big difference between them. So far so good. He poured the rum, using a measure right in front of me. I pointed out to him that he had served a very short measure. This was ignored while he opened a bottle of mixer and placed it in front of me. I pointed out that he had given me ginger beer. His response was that they did not have ginger ale. I advised that as he couldn't give me what I had ordered, I would leave it. His next question was the standard "cash or card". At this point I thought it best to leave.

Great food at reasonable prices with good service. The only thing that spoilt the occasion was how cold it was in the room.

We decided to eat in the bar so glad we did, it was very nice warm and welcoming, I had the Haddock which was delicious and my husband had the Roast beef special which he said was equally as delicious.Naomi and Aymie are a credit to this pub.

We chose the Bonnie Beastie for family gathering of 15 , Service was friendly and helpful , timing of food for large group was excellent and quality of the Sunday Roast also very good. The Bar area was warm( unlike some previous reviews). There is a lack of choice of beers The new owners have lost the informality with drop in for a drink trade and opted for a more upmarket food experience. In my 2 visits it appears that this has resulted in a drop in customer numbers with the prices being rather high for a pub type restaurant in Forres .
