About Forest Lodge Hotel
The Forest Lodge Hotel stands at 117 Arundel Street, a corner pub in the inner west that has been around since 1866. The bar opens from 11am on weekdays and 11:30am on weekends, and the kitchen serves lunch and dinner every day. Drinks lean towards craft beer, with 20 rotating taps pouring Australian and international brews, alongside cocktails, wine and spirits. Functions take over parts of the pub for groups from 40 up to 180 guests, and room hire is complimentary. Groups can be seated in the main bar, the Lodge Lounge, the pool room or the courtyard, so a function can be anything from a stand-up party with canapés to a long seated dinner. The pub also supports local schools, sports clubs and societies by hosting their fundraising nights. The function menu covers canapés such as smoked salmon crostini, beetroot arancini, lamb kofta skewers, tempura prawns and buffalo wings, plus mini pockets and sliders at $7.50 a piece. For a seated event there is a two course menu at $42 a head and a three course menu at $52 a head, both for a minimum of 20, with shared starters on the table, a choice of two mains served alternately and a dessert. Gluten-free dishes are marked on the menu, and the team will talk through drinks when you enquire.
