That whole plate looked delicious Gary.you're a super reviewer.I always enjoy what you post and your genuinely honest opinions.

Mr Gary, this is a crucial time for you to keep uploading videos regularly. From what I can see you have got over 200 new subscribers in practically 1/2 days. I believe KZfaq is starting to pick up and push your algorithm which is a great sign! Take a break later if you wish, but it's very important to keep uploading while your channel is popping! All the best.👍👍👍💫

Oh man that looked bloody delicious !! Portion sizes everywhere are so small now though. Congrats on 5000 as well really deserved

Having just watched your review of the York Roastery, the food at Forest was how it should be done. The steak was cooked to perfection, always telling if a chef can cook beef/steak to a medium rare or rare. The chips were great, although I winced that the steak was placed on on top of some of them so those were soggy. However, the chips that remained were cooked well-crunchy outside and soft inside. The crunch on the onion rings was outstanding. The vine grown tomatoes were a nice touch. I would gladly pay extra for the peppercorn gravy. Everything looked homemade, and cooked by a good chef and lime staff who know how to cook.Well deserving of the perfect score.

I'm here enjoying Mr Gary's videos, while he's still climbing up the ladder of fame! Once he gets popular and recognition for who he is, people will start interrupting the reviews! However, I do believe it won't be as bad as Rate My Takeaway because Danny is out on the street and Gary is nicely tucked away inside the restaurants! Your videos are not just about reviewing food, but there's something relaxing about watching them too! Your editing is perfect from the shots of the meal, to the music 🎶. Last but not least, your reviews are not too short or too long, and not too much talking. Perfect!👍💯💫✨

Ive eaten there. Love York. Completely agree with the excellent, unbiased, review. Well done again, Gary

The restaurant looks just like my father's hunting lodge. He used to be an avid hunter. The restaurant's food is excellent, as my father occasionally goes there on his cook's days off. I agree the service and meal are both 10/10. I'm glad you are enjoying yourself in York and also, congratulations on reaching 5000.

Yet another fantastic entertaining review Gary. Looked amazing. Cheers and thanks again!

Thanks Gary. I also try and support local businesses whenever possible

Have to say Gary, nothing better than a marathon of your vids to wind down a Friday night! Love them!

So pleased. You got to York love living here . Congratulations on your 5000 well deserved Gary .Food looked amazing definitely a solid 10/10 x

Bravo Gary - you are finally ordering a glass of wine with your meal !!! (I told you so) !!!

Every mouth full was followed by a swallow of appreciation...York is a Lovely City and that lovely Pup.. delicious food...Perfect.

This meal looks absolutely delicious Gary 👍🏻

Will definitely be giving them a try the next time we are in York, looks great!

To me the best places to eat are family owned.. everything looks delicious 😋

That was a amazing plate of food , definitely worth a visit .. thank you for great Vlogs .

Gary the food looked fabulous as soon as the plate arrived, definatly a solid 10.

That looked like a really nice meal, Gary. A really rumpsteak can be difficult to get right, but they got it spot on. The chips looked perfect and the same goes for the rest of the plate. Made me hungry, mate! I prefer a filet steak or a sirloin steak, cooked rare. Another fantastic review, mate! Have a wonderful rest of your stay in Yorkshire. Next time we go up, we will definitely try Forest, great that it's a family owned business and sources locally. Spot on, mate! Again, a fantastic review! 😀❤️

i love the rustic vibes of the place very cozy 😸

One of the best things in a person’s life is eating a lovely meal with a good glass of wine in fine surroundings and not having to pay an awful lot of money for the privilege. And, judging by your experience in the Forest restaurant in York that place seems to have it all and rightly deserves a 10 score. Now it will have to go on my list of restaurants/pubs to visit in York, thanks to you. Loving the channel. Can’t wait to see where you decide to dine out in Newcastle.

That's going on my list. Thanks Gary. Love your channel.

Hi Gary, really pleased that you had a good experience after the last place, York is fantastic and there are many great places to eat, many hidden away off the shambles. Sent from a proud Yorkshireman.

A very well deserved 10/10. I am not much of a steak eater but that looked delicious.

Gary as an ex chef my favourite cut is Ribeye cooked medium rare with either peppercorn sauce or bernaise sauce.

That looks like an excellent plate of food, not too bad a price. I love steak and am more or less happy with any cut, as long as it’s cooked well. I have steak either medium rare or medium. I used to have it well done, but it lacked flavour. Fabulous video Gary

We ate at Forest when we were in York, stayed over the road. Absolutely fantastic. Glad you enjoyed Gary

Gary, that looks right up my street. My mouth was literally watering looking at the plate. So glad you enjoyed it. John

i'm going on sunday and thats exactly what i'm having,thanks for putting me in the mood,keep up the good work Gary,its a hard job but someone has to do it

Nicely done. Love your modest, honest videos! And now I'm hungry.

My favourite meal is steak au poivre with the steak cooked rare. I live in a bilingual area thus the half English, half French we use. That was a beautiful plate of food and deserved your rating. Thanks for sharing, Gary.

Hi Gary, that looked a great meal in a lovely restaurant, nice review

Hi Gary, Good to see you with proper cutlery and not eating out of a cardboard box. That steak looked top-notch, your choice and how it's cooked is how i like my steak too. Great review, glad you leave York on a high.

Great review, Gary. Love your channel. We called into Forest on spec last year. Despite being busy, they found us a lovely table and the service and food was first class and exceptional value for money. Would highly recommend Forest for anyone visiting York.

We went to this restaurant on a recent visit to York and ad the same meal. This was after seeing your video. The meal was excellent. Thanks again.

Another wonderful review Gary. It looked more like a mansion rather than a pub and I could see all the flavour from the amazing camerawork. As others have said you are on the rise to You Tube fame as your videos are the perfect length, they are so interesting and perfectly shot. For me its a 10. And the review scored even higher. Thank you for all your hard work.

Juicy !! Great value Gary, seen This place a few times in York , I’ll Be popping in , the chips and steak looked sooo good , great vid and thanks again 👍

I was just looking for your latest video, just to give me something to watch tonight on tv ,thanks Gary just in time 😋👍👍👍

Thanks Gary for this second review of York restaurants.Another one to try y,my wife will think all her Sundays have come at once!

Another great video, food looked bloody lovely. Congrats on the 5,000. Well deserved, keep up the entertaining vids 👍👍👍

Fair play Gary that looks absolutely beautiful lovely meal and great content again.

Just discovered your fantastic channel last week and can't get enough of watching . Food looked sensational .

Myself and the wife visited Forest last night based on your recommendation, we both had the steak and as you said perfectly cooked and great value for money. Lovely restaurant and lovely staff. Glad I subscribed to your channel 👍

Wonderful to see there are still superb restaurants out there at a reasonable price and supporting local suppliers on our hit list this year! G8 review Gary, thank you!

Looked spot on Gary love York next time I’m there will certainly be trying this restaurant 😊

Well Gary, you hit gold here by the look of it. The steak looks fabulous, cooked to perfection. Oh the chips - a joy! I love a peppercorn sauce... oh grief, I am jealous :) Onion rings sounded crispy and the tomatoes super fresh. Yet another great review Gary. I really appreciate your descriptions, and choice of venue. Yes, Medium Rare. Favourite cut is a rump too or a T-Bone. What a beautiful location. And yes, you can't beat that synergy that happens between a good supplier and a restaurant. Swains might be worth a visit to chat to the master butcher? £24 ...? including a wine.. ... whoa. 10/10 yes. Thanks Gary.

Looked fabulous! Thanks Gary and Cameraman. Hope he got to eat and enjoy too.. Great to see theyre local owned and operated, so impressed by your details.. the meat sourced locally as well.. really impressed. Onion rings, homemade chips and gravy in its own jug.. brilliance!! Great prices too. Steak Question: fillet when celebration. But tbone with eggs, McCain oven chips, gravy, and salad at home. My inner cavewoman wants, medum-rare, fried (for that bubbly dark crust) and doused with rosemary devil butter at end. All the best to you both, thank you for sharing your delicious meal with us.

Brilliant review as usual Gary, thanks. I think it was value for money for where you were. Steak cooked to perfection for me too, and the chips and onion rings looked fantastic. I usually go for rump as its a fairer price. Hooray 🎉 no service charge. Thanks again and I really enjoyed your review.

Now that has made me hungry, Gary! Very nice indeed😊

You know it’s going to be good - just from the outside! Very inviting! 👍

So nice to actually see Steak meal and not have to buy everything separately and yes home made chips makes all the difference Great Vlog Gary

What a lovely restaurant and the food looked amazing well worth a 10

Been many times to this place and can say it's fab everything is always cooked well

That looked amazing, absolutely stunning, you need to come to Glasgow soon

I stayed at Galtres Lodge last year and dined at the on-prem restaurant, Forest, a couple of times. It was absolutely divine! I share your enthusiasm. Tip for next time; you simply must try the sticky toffee pudding! It is out of this world; hands down the best I've ever had. Really enjoyed this video; thanks for posting and taking me back to a happy time.

Wow! That looked divine...❤ lucky man 😊🎉

Well deserved 10, can't recommend that place enough. For me ribeye or sirloin steak medium rare. Homemade chips are an absolute treat and just the meal stand out from the rest. Yorkshire hospitality is the best hands down. 🤜🤛

You don’t mess about you give great feedback on food .. well done

Another brilliant review, Gary. Decent price for a rump steak! Looked lovely but prefer a ribeye myself. Just personal preference. Keep up the good work!

I have to agree. The food looked superb and great value for what you got.

Oh my goodness Gary that meal looked absolutely fabulous !! I prefer my steak well done or medium-well at a pinch and I'm sure they would do that justice too. Home made chips and a lovely peppercorn sauce really added to the meal as did the vine tomatoes. I only wish we had discovered this restaurant when we were in York a couple of months ago. You certainly did save the best 'til last !

NOM NOM. That restaurant used to be called Michaels Brassiere its been open as Forest for a few years now and I do believe its the same family. An amazing place to eat even back in the day. So pleased you enjoyed it x

Looks delicious. Definitely worth a visit when I’m next in York. Great video.

Looked v nice indeed. I like the look of the menu. It is good to see them being brave enough to only offer one steak option and that being a rump - they are clearly very confident with that choice and it looks like they are right to be! I would always go for the Ribeye (Medium Rare) if it was on the menu and would usually avoid rump because, as you say, can be tough - but that looked spot on. Thanks Gary - great review!

Looks amazing 🤩

Thanks Gary...the food looked great I will have to try there next time I'm in York

Awesome looking meal. Great value.

Another great review. Never had a rump streak, going to purchase a small rump roast and prepare as a steak. Most deserving of a perfect 10 rating. Blessings from Texas,USA. Oh, medium rare is the only way a streak should be prepared in my opinion. Out here a porterhouse is quite popular. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi Gary …. Wow.. what a great place. You really do find them! Agree with your 8 in the buffet, especially the starter being a bit cold, but you had some good variety in the main course. Yep.. I like that 👍… The lamb madras looks superb visually and as you said a great taste. What a great place to eat in. Another great review and so good to eat so many different foods. Looking forward to the next ‘let’s give it a go’ mate. Take care, All the best David, and Angela 😊

Gosh that looked absolutely delicious ! Steak perfectly cooked, which doesn’t happen often. I must admit to liking a bit of fat on the edge of the steak but not everybody’s cup of tea. I like mushrooms but not a fan of onion rings, so I’d ditch them and and I’d be cheeky and ask if there was any chance of a fried egg, as a steak and egg combo is delicious. I agree with you about supporting local businesses, particularly in these difficult times when so many businesses are struggling. Another great review, I look forward to the next one

Hi Gary, catching up with some of your older videos and thoroughly enjoyed this one

That was really good value for your buck, I normally have sirloin cooked on my iron skillet with butter, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and a smidge of garlic. I prefer a good marbling of fat and cooked medium rare to rare, if I’m ever in York I will definitely look up Forest as your rump steak look divine and so juicy. So glad you got to eat a great meal on your last day and thanks for a great video 😊

Nice to have you in our city Gary! Great review as ever. There are loads more little indy restaurants in York to check out if you get back here. Forest looks great - not been yet but will check it out. If I was to criticise anything I would say the steak could have done with another few minutes rest before service, but it was cooked beautifully.

That looked absolutely lush! i like my chips kind of like roast potatoes where they're a bit darker and crispier and those looked just up my alley!, Again fantastic upload Gary i enjoy the relaxing atmosphere your videos bring.

Hi Gary , that rump looked stonkingly good and juicy , the green bits where “ Pea shoots “ and the Resteraunt looked lovely and cozy . Great Vlog , wine was a bargain , loved it all 👌👌👌

That looked like a really decent steak and having a good Shiraz with it is the perfect way to enjoy a meal.I am new to your videos but am really enjoying them.

Excellent review on what looked liked an excellent meal, Final thought?? Yes please

Fabulous looking restaurant. Fabulous looking plate of food. Fabulous vlog. Rump steak can be tough as old boots but that looked great. Lovely crisp chips and onion rings and a lovely looking sauce. Reasonably priced as well. I agree it looked a perfect 10.

Superb review Gary. That restaurant looked so wonderful and backed up with what must have been a fantastic steak meal. In tihs day and age that was a bargain for such top quality food.

Been here Gary today and oh my you are absolutely spot on here. The burger, mini Yorkies abd two Estrella's I had oh my top marks. Cosy pub and good atmosphere. 10 all the way. Well done on Fifty Thousand subscribers.

Beautiful meal. Yes; it'd be the rump, medium rare for me too. What a success story you are, Gary! Well done mate.

I like my steak rare to medium rare and that looked perfect. The whole dish looked perfect and what a treat and lovely touch to put vine tomatoes on the plate. Those onion rings looked deliciously crispy too. Not a cheap meal but I would pay it for that. You could see the care and pride they take on the plate!

That was a deserving score,and I will be visiting the Forest on my next visit to York.

Stunning restaurant Gary incredible food - steak looks stunning great video mate

As a vegetarian, I'd get rid of the steak and ask for extra mushrooms. Brillaint review Gary, no excitement, just a calm, sensible review of great food. Filming and editing is TV broadcast quality.

Another fantastic review Gary. You are destined for the very top, fantastic reviewer, honest in all your reviews and very well spoken, you just say it as it is which the viewers appreciate! I’m certain this time next year you’ll be well over 100k subscribers

Hi Gary meal looked spot on! My favourite steak is filet but happy with rump or sirloin not keen on rib eye. The place FOREST looked really nice and its always nice to have good service. The meal looked my type of meal, Nice to know if ever I am in York Thank you Gary

Another great restaurant Gary, the steak looked delicious, I like medium rare as well, I will definitely visit the Forest if I'm in the area, it was a very reasonable price for a steak, it looks a lovely restaurant, great news about your subscribers you are brilliant and well deserved, I always look forward to your videos 🏆🤩

Gary your vids are brilliant! Great to see views flying up too, I reckon your channel is gonna get massive!

That looked delicious, every bit of it.

OMG....That is my fave meal out ever..medium rare for me too please (rib eye)...looked yummy...wish i had smellyvision! My friend lives in York I must share this with him...Ty Gary for sharing 🎉great stream as always🎉...

That meal looked absolutely delicious. The steak did look cooked but to avoid any blood on the plate I always ask for medium. Great review as always Gary 👍

Place looks lovely inside and out. Always good to see a small business doing well. £22 isn't too bad for a proper restaurant steak and chips. I still think that £5.60 for a glass of wine is outrageous but that's the same everywhere. Lovely to see the steak on top of the chips!!! That's how I like it. And it's cooked very well. I'm drooling. I'm a T Bone man myself cooked medium .Onion rings and chips looked delicious. I would happily give the whole meal a 10. It's exactly the sort of steak and chips that my mum did when I was a kid 45 years ago apart from the lack of mushrooms and peas. 😁 Excellent review Gary and a welcome relief after that dreadful roast dinner.

Gary, This place looks really good! Food definitely a 10/10, the price i thought a tad over tbh, & i also thought paying £22 for steak,the peppercorn sauce should be free...so for value I'd knock 2 points off 😂.but all in all it did look quality, & a very nice dining experience! Its definitely a Gem & well worth the visit by looks of it 👍 Cheers to You 🍻& now over 5000 subscribers! Totally deserved 👏

Brilliant review. Definitely going there next week. Cheers

I thought expensive when first saw Price but your paying for the quality of the meat looks yummy

I had the same meal here last week. It was excellent. I had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was awesome aswell. My new favourite place to eat in York .

Looked great. Like you say, rump can be a bit tough and gristly. I like fillet of beef rare or medium/rare. Will be looking out for Forest next time I'm in York. Thanks again Gary for a wonderful video.

That place looks amazing,hope the food is good.

Wow everything looks lovely and such a good price too 👍
