🐟 FISH FRIDAYS AT THE FORESTERS ARMS 🐟

Fish & chips on a Friday is a tradition that goes back decades… and we’re here to keep it going! 🍽️

If you haven’t tried Fish Friday at The Foresters Arms yet, you’re missing out! And if you’ve been before, you already know just how good it is. 😍

Join us every Friday from 5pm–8pm for a proper Friday night feast. You can simply pop in, give us a call, or use our new online booking system on our website www.theforestersarmscolchester.co.uk/ to secure your table

🐟 On the menu:
• Classic battered cod, chips & peas
• Battered haddock, chips & peas
• Pan-fried bass with new potatoes & kale
• Your choice of mushy, garden or minted peas

And that’s just the mains! Start things off with our cockle popcorn with sweet chilli dip, salt & pepper squid, deep-fried halloumi and plenty more delicious starters.

🍎 And for dessert… Lou’s special apple crumble is BACK this week! Alongside our sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake, there’s plenty of reason to save room for afters.

So grab your friends, bring your appetite and make Friday a proper one. 🍻🐟
