Dine in style amid woodland setting

A NEW concept in dining out takes its inspiration from its beautiful woodland location. Forever Green is a stylish restaurant that sits in the heart of 70 acres of woodland. Forever Green started life as an eating place for people working at Ransom Wood, just off the A617 between Rainworth and Mansfield. Its popularity grew, and soon Forever Green had become an eating destination for people from outside the park.The time had come to remodel Forever Green. It reopened last month, enlarged and refurbished, and ready to cater for everything from light lunches to stylish wedding receptions.NatureThe restaurant is a light and modern purpose-built space, surrounded by trees, giving diners lovely views. It seats 60 people downstairs with a spacious conference room upstairs that caters for up to 100. The emphasis throughout is on working with nature, from the woodland surroundings to the interior décor which includes lots of natural wood and specially-commissioned butterfly-patterned wall coverings, and of course the food, which is fresh and locally sourced.The menu offers a great selection of dishes at reasonable prices, from a variedbreakfast choice, light bites and sandwiches to main meals, a salad bar and desserts. There is also a full hot and cold take-out menu. Forever Green opens from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday, but from mid September will extend its opening hours to include evenings and weekends.It is already an ideal place for a wedding reception, and an application has been made for it to be licensed for marriages.The head chef and general manager is Paul Jones, who brings his wealth of experience from, Reeds, a successful Newark restaurant. He is excited about the future of Forever Green, which he sees as a whole new concept in dining out. He loves the location in particular. "It's just great coming to work every day," he said. As well as being a great place for dining out and hosting corporate events, Forever Green is also the venue for ‘Forever Green Live' a vibrant monthly event encompassing music, dance, poetry and the visual arts.
