This Pub is Closed Long Term

Taken on by Joules brewery and expected to reopen in the coming weeks.

Closed early November 2026 but taken on by Joules brewery and expected to reopen in the coming weeks

The Forest House was built in c1759 as the town house of one Trafford Branston and is the central block of one of Chester's finest surviving Georgian buildings. Now part of the Brewhouse & Kitchen group who have a number of outlets countrywide. A brewery has been installed downstairs which will produce a range of house beers plus seasonal varieties. Many original features of the house have been retained. As well as a large bar at Mezzanine level with a cosy room off, there is a substantial long cellar with another bar splitting the two seating areas.
