Nestled in beautiful countryside, Bowland Forest Farm has transformed from Be a Garden Maker into a dining destination that offers both charm and potential. While some patrons have celebrated the inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and superb breakfasts, others have expressed disappointment, reporting issues with food quality and cleanliness. Regular visitors commend the exquisite platters and special vegan options, while new diners note the welcoming environment, even for furry companions. With new management at the helm, there is hope that feedback will guide improvements, ensuring this establishment can fully realize its considerable promise.
