Foresters At Westbury

Located towards the end of the high street (I say high street just because that is what the road is called, in reality there is about 20 shops that finish with a pub to greet you at the end!) The Forester is a welcoming establishment that is grateful of any custom it reseives.
Westbury-​on-​trym has a few nice pubs sporadically placed around, The Forester, although a very nice place isn’t the best pub you can find, but in my experience it is one of the friendliest.
Pricing is a little steep on a few beverages but because of it’s location at the end of the high street it can afford to put it’s prices up a bit, and if you don’t fancy walking up westbury hill you wont really have any other alternatives.

For an area as nice and affluent as Westbury-​on-​Trym, it doesn’t half have a lot of slightly rough pubs. This one is the most central of the lot, sitting right next to the roundabout as you come down Westbury Hill; it’s easily identified by the seats that are crammed outside the front door.
Attracting a younger crowd than some of the pubs in the area, this has a fairly large main room that is cut in half by the large bar in the middle. There’s an emphasis on sports with a separate pool room and they did have Sky Sports, though I’m not sure if this has remained since it recently shut and reopened (which tells a story in itself). The fact is that this place is synonomous with trouble for many locals, which is a shame for such an attractive and historical building as this.

Be very sure you know what you’re up to before entering this very basic scrumpy drinkers pub.
I sat and watched a Footie game in here once as it was the only place showing it. I came out a nervous wreck.
I believe the licence as been revoked several times, and how it is still operating is a mystery.
This one is definitley for the harder members of society!!!
