Sorry for not posting in soooooo long!!! I've been busy with a lot of things especially uni!
So I went to Forresters a very long time ago but I think it deserves a blog post/ review but it was just that good! :)
The Forresters is located in Surry Hills on Riley Street (in between Central station and Messina on Crown St). Forresters is a the latest corner pub, which is run by the same guy behind the Abercrombie, Flinders, Norfolk and Carrington.. so you definitely know you're in good hands :)
We came here on Saturday around lunch time and surprisingly it was not that crowded. There are a lot of tables available in the glass house area, the spaces around the pub are usually the more popular areas.
The menu has a lot of different dishes to choose from. They even have a snack menu that is perfect if you want something light to eat. They also have larger dishes such as pizza, schnitzel, pasta and burgers , which I recommend you order to share with friends. We ended up ordering: a pulled pork slider, poppers, meatball pizza and chicken schnitzel. The food is a bit slow to come out considering it was not that busy.

Pulled Pork Slider | w/ Korean slaw & peanut mayo | $5.50
Anything with pulled pork is good so I knew for sure this would be delicious!! and it was! :) However we shared this between 4 people and this pulled pork slider is literally one bites worth (it is under the snack part of the menu). It was good sampling a bit of it but I recommend you just order this for yourself than sharing it.
Poppers | Stuffed peppers w/ chicken, pork & sriracha mayo | $12
Chicken Schnitzel | nap or parm w/ slaw and parmesan fries | $22
The schnitzel is definitely money for value! You are given a generous piece of chicken with chips, cheese and coleslaw, I highly recommend this dish- sharing or not! :)
A meatball affair | Meatballs & smoked mozzarella | $22
The pizza was very disappointing because it lacked flavour and the dough was so thin and flaky that it didn't even feel like I was eating pizza... and some pieces of the pizza didn't have any meat on it...
Menu
Overall, The Forresters steps it up with 'pub food' and they have many outstanding dishes that I would definitely go back for. The atmosphere is very chilled and it is a great place to hang out with friends on any day or occasion. The prices are also quite reasonable for the amount and quality of the food :)
Grab some friends and go try it out for yourself :)
Happy eating! :D
