Dear Member
We hope everyone is enjoying the summer, not melting in the heat while also dodging the downpours. With the warm weather it is great to see so many people sitting outside the Foresters Arms, enjoying a drink in the summer sunshine.
It is now a month since Diana and Paul became our new tenants. Following the handover, there were several issues to resolve before they could get up and running. Staying true to our community ethos, it was great to see so many people rally round to help and support. The Foresters is now firing on all cylinders. The bar is bustling, a full menu is available (we recommend the chicken skewers) and the guest rooms are all booked. Already Diana and Paul have received a number of positive reviews reflecting how inviting the pub looks and how welcoming it is.
A few words from Diana and Paul:
We managed to open up The Foresters Arms on the 28th July for drinks only. Since then we have designed and delivered a pub menu which we hope you will enjoy. We have also revised the opening times to cater for most people, only closing on Monday daytime to conduct admin and cleaning.
The support we have received from the committee and the community has been phenomenal. Special thanks to everyone who kindly contributed a lot of time so we could get this pub off the ground, so thank you very much. We also had great support from our friends from Richmond, who made the effort to come and support us in this new venture.
Looking fonrard, we hope to continue serving homemade food and a wide selection of beers, wines and spirits. We have settled into our new accommodation above the pub with our dogs Harley and Eric and look fonrard to exploring the beautiful countryside that surrounds us.
We will strive to continue our hard work to hopefully elevate The Foresters Arms to what the pub deserves.
Double celebration:
We are excited to invite all our shareholders, family and friends to join us in a double celebration, On Saturday 24th September we will be at the Foresters Arms to mark its tenth anniversary as a community owned pub. At the same time, we will also take the opportunity to formally welcome Diana and Paul as our new tenants. It will be a night of entertainment and celebration, with live music, an outside bar and other activities. Please save the date in your diary, spread the word and come along and enjoy the festivities.
