Forester's Arms — Restaurant in Bury

The good old Foresters. The first ale house I ever ventured into in 1985. You cannot argue with the calibre of the beer tasters in this place.........they'd beat you up! The bitter has a wonderful malty but slightly fruity taste upon the tongue(well it does if your eating Opal Fruits at the same time!) My young son asked if I would take him to see some horses....so I brought him in here to watch the racing! I asked a friendly looking fellow if he had picked any winners? He looked at me and said 'no,but you can pick any window!' The landlady was nice and cheerful though,she only threatened to slit my throat once! On a more serious note though,this is a good watering hole for people like me......alcoholics! I lit a cigarette in the lounge and the landlord rushed over to me and said'You can't smoke that in here.......get in the vault with it!' They even have pockets on the pool table! Great night,good beer,good company...

It was so nice to be back in the Forester's, it's been a long wait but was definitely worth it! The atmosphere was as friendly as always, there was plenty of banter between friends and even strangers, everyone was happy to be out. Masks were worn, there was hand gel and space inbetween tables. The barmaids were looking after everyone via table service and were doing an amazing job even though the pub was busy. Looking forward to our next...

If you dont like it, you wont love it!!! You just need to give it some LOVE and who knows what goes next 🤣🤣🤣 Gotta LOVE FORESTERS with its loyal friendly regulars. I've been going for years. Not enough pubs in Manchester...
