   Our second visit to Fork didn’t disappoint! A real gem of a restaurant with excellent food, attentive and friendly service coupled with good value! The fixed menu @ £39.50 provided a diverse set of choices to suit all palates cooked in an open-plan kitchen on full display to the diners. As a wine nerd it was also fantastic to take advantage of a £15 corkage fee which is extremely reasonable. I had scallops in a celeriac purée to start, pork tenderloin with pancetta and then an apple pie to finish. All superbly cooked and presented. We will most definitely be back!

   Overall we had a great meal. Five out of six dishes were excellent. However, the "Panko Fried Jerusalem Artichokes" seemed undercooked to me - but perhaps my expectations were skewed. We will definitely be back . . .

   I was hoping to like this but it was just awful. Brown edges on the prawn cocktail lettuce like it was cut days ago. Overcooked pork. Goats cheese that was nuked on the outside and still chilled inside. Greasy bread and unpleasant flavoured butter. Like your kid nephew got the keys to the place after a week at catering school. Bad. Real bad. Learn to cook sonny before inflicting this on the paying public. Sorry but this was terrible. Ugh. Frustrating…

   Excellent meal - 3 courses all lovely. Fabulous Prawn Cocktail, superb Pork Loin main dish with vegetables and yummy chocolate & orange cake dessert. Beautifully made, locally sourced - couldn't be better. My Partner agreed - he had ox cheek main - also delicious.

   Absolutely delicious food. One of the best restaurants I have been too in a while. The environment and decor is simple, but the food is far from it, exquisite flavours that will leave you wanting more. I am already looking at booking again. The staff and chefs are friendly and looked after us. Went above and beyond. Thank you.

   The Fork is always a treat: the menu always lives up to expectations as to choice and locally sourced fare, ditto a warm welcome and excellent service. Thank you for a superb meal!

   A Top Chef is Jack the Head Chef at Fork and the waitress was lovely. Good value for my birthday.

   We visited Fork for the first time and arrived by train from Brighton. We walked up Station Road as far as the High Street before realising that we had missed it. In darkness of the winter evening, it was difficult to discern the small sign on the front. Thankfully, we were not able to find anything else that may be improved upon at Fork. The staff were warm and welcoming and despite our early arrival (we had given ourselves plenty of time to find the place), they were able to accommodate us. The decor is Scandi style with smooth pale wood panelling and white globe wall lights. The menu is small and the food is prepared from fresh local ingredients. We were offered mushroom vol au vent amuse bouches while we perused the menu. They were light and delicious and whet our appetites for what was to follow. We had two courses each and the food was delicious. The poached pear with whipped goats cheese and a rainbow of beetroot salad was a delight for the eyes and taste buds. The cauliflower and stilton soup was rich and very warming. Perfect for a wintry evening. The grey mullet was cooked to perfection and the samphire, crispy kale and mussel broth delicious! We were both delighted with our food and the wine choice was a pleasant surprise too. We had the German Pinot Noir from Villa Wolf. I will definitely be making a return visit to Fork as soon as my social calendar allows.

    Excellent lunch using predominantly local produce. Good choice on menu without too many choices. Good Service. Would recommend & will go again.
