Forest Lodge Hotel

This place is massive. So many options for seating, indoor and outdoor. The atmosphere is very laid back, it seems like the type of place you'd randomly stumble upon and sit in to chat with friends over drinks and some light food. The service during Covid allows you to order online on your phone and it will send the order to the kitchen, which is really neat. The service is laid back but helpful and very friendly, it suits the chill vibe. The food itself is alright, I liked the wings the most. It was a little sweet in the way that American BBQ sauce is sweet, but it wasn't bad at all. To enter and exit the establishment, there is a set of stairs that need to be climbed. As far as I know, I didn't see any ramps, so it may be challenging for those with walking difficulties and whatnot. I'll probably come back to try some of the other menu items and update the review when I'm in the area.

Love the Sunday roasted pork belly..very yummy ever!, good drinks and friendly hospitality. Easy to get car parking nearby. Ordered takeaway. The food is great as well as dining. But remember to double-check the food and sauce with them again before you leave.

Sensational selection of fresh craft beer, tap list rotating very frequently, they even do growler fills which is becoming a rarity. Bar staff were very very friendly and knowledgeable on the beers, too. I will definitely be returning soon.

Good local pub with down to earth staff. Perfect place to have a quiet beer and catch-up with a friend, without having to deal with loud crowds of people. Easy to access of Parramatta Road and plenty of pubs nearby If a pub crawl is on the cards.

Good vibe. Can sit at the bar is always a plus. The staff were very sweet.
