Sherwood Forest, once the haunt of Robin Hood and his Merry Men is home now to some unusual modern additions, one of which is Forever Green, located in Ransom Wood, a 70 acre business Park. Along with a spacious and modish interior, it has huge ceiling to floor glass windows through which a green backcloth of trees provides restful calm as you sit inside, enjoying your meal, watching a fallow deer graze outside unawares.

Opt between English and Continental breakfasts; keep it light with a bacon or sausage baguette; or give a healthy start to your day with muesli, cereal and fresh fruits. For lunch, create your own salad at the counter followed by Cajun chicken served with fresh green beans and cherry tomato salsa or a salmon and roquette pasta in a garlic and cream sauce. Forever Green has a daily changing dessert menu that's worth trying.
